Continuing with My NFL Predictions


Sorry, I couldn’t post for the last week or so, it was because I was on vacation.

But, here I am, ready to continue my predictions of all of the NFL teams.

AFC East:

The Bills are rightfully Super Bowl contenders, because of two guys. You probably who I’m talking about, but don’t think that they can make the Bills Super Bowl contenders, right? Well, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs are those guys and that QB-WR tandem is going to be making a case for best in the NFL. Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley are both potentially number one receivers on some teams, they’re numbers 2 and 3 on the Bills. I feel as if you were to sum up this team and create a theme for it, it would be young players. Josh Allen, Zack Moss, Dawson Knox, pretty much their whole O-line, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde are all studs early in their careers. Another point this team is trying to make is that it’s going to be the next Patriots, except a little west of them.

The Dolphins also have youth as the focus of their team, with future star hopeful Tua Tagovailoa at the QB spot. Miles Gaskin is another player who showed signs of stardom last year before his season-ending injury. And new Miami Dolphin Jaylen Waddle, who has blazing speed and great fundamentals, will create the next Big Three out of South Beach. Now, Will Fuller, Devante Parker and Mike Gesicki are also on the offense, covering all of them will pose a problem. The defense has Xavien Howard, Byron Jones and Jason McCourty in the secondary and a decent Front 7. This team is something like the Bills, with less known talent but with about the same potential.

This Patriots team has just begun the downfall. It is a scientific fact that wherever Tom Brady goes, winning follows, and where he was, winning disappears. It’s happening right now in Foxborough and in Tampa Bay. Damien Harris is genuinely the only player on this who that has some sort of potential. Harris is looking at a breakout year as the RB1, and be sure to get him on your fantasy teams. Cam Newton is regressing and Mac Jones has a number of questions surrounding him because he was the fifth QB taken in the draft, obviously showing he’s not amazing. The receivers are nothing special. The O-line is decent. The defense lost its best performers because they left one way or another or because of age. Damien Harris needs to get out of there if the Pats don’t turn it around to salvage his career. But they won’t be last in the division because of the next team.

The Jets are a dumpster fire. A new coach, Robert Salah, and number two overall pick Zach Wilson will hope to turn some things around in East Rutherford. But, Zach Wilson can’t create for himself, he’s not Lamar Jackson. He needs weapons that he doesn’t have. When Tevin Coleman is your starting running back, you know you’re in trouble. Also, when your third WR is Keelan Cole (have you heard of him? I haven’t), you also know you’re in trouble. Tyler Kroft is also our starting tight end; I don’t know what to say, I’m out of witty comments at this point. The O-line is young and promising, so they have that going for them. When an average NFL fan looks at the Jets defense, he (or she) recognizes 3 names out of 11 starters, Quinnen Williams, CJ Mosley, and maybe Marcus Maye. That’s it, I’m not saying unknowns can’t do anything, what I’m saying is that I’d love to have a known name rather than a no-name. I believe in Zach Wilson, although I don’t know how much he can do this year.

Final Standings:

Bills

Dolphins

Patriots

Jets (will they even win a game?)
