Interesting pick for KC. Then again, by year 2, young quarterbacks are often figured out, so if he’s not good enough to combat that, he won’t have as great of a year. Still think they’ll make the playoffs though.

Rams total seems low. But Super Bowl hangovers are a thing.

I think you’re a little generous towards Oakland, Giants, SD. You’re laughably generous for SF. You from California? Garoppolo is overrated.

I'm from Ohio lol so definitely no bias. I wouldn't say Garoppolo is overrated, we haven't seen enough from him to know either way yet. Todd Gurley worries me and like you said, Super Bowl hangovers are common so that's why I don't even have the Rams in the playoffs. I think the entire NFC West will be rather week and the law of parody in the league tells me the Niners have as good of a shot as anyone. I could see 8 wins being enough to take the division.

Are you buying the hype on the Browns? No matter what, they should be the most exciting team to watch as usual.

 

[LODemolition]

I have 6 new playoff teams this year and 6 new division winners. Patriots and Saints are the only 2 I see not regressing in 2019 for obvious reasons. I love the Colts this year too so I can't argue with Zappy.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Browns are a tough read. Young QBs can be unpredictable. Basically same thing I said about Mahomes. Pittsburgh is on a down slide. Cincinnati is done most likely. Ravens are also a tough read. I would expect them to be good this year. With the division in a state of flux, the Browns do have a decent chance.

@ Dallas making the Super Bowl. You know Garrett’s still their coach, right? They’ve drafted extremely well and still continue to underperform. Once they’re stupid enough to to pay Dak way more than he’s worth, they won’t be able to afford their good talent.

Wow Spencesc11 dished out 272 wins which is amazing considering there's only 256 games in a season lol.

What does this have to do with wrestling? Are you seriously telling me there isnt a football site somewhere where you could be posting this instead?
