I'd actually be picking Arizona as a sleeper this year if they would've kept Honey Badger. I feel like all of the good will they are going to gain from getting David Johnson back is going to get negated by their defense not being as good.

I think they have too much coaching turnover and it's rare to have that much turnover and be able to have a really good year.

There is enough talent for them to be competitive and probably more than people expect but I still don't see them as that sneaky wild card team or anything.

I think deducting 2 wins from each team will be closer to what happens. I don't see the NFC West being over 32 wins combined this year. Last year the NFC West had the perfect storm of playing the weakest possible NFC and AFC divisions for 32 of their 40 non-divisional games. They still only finished 34-30.

The division will be much better this year.

I too might put Arizona higher if it wasn't Bradford

First year BA came in, they were what 10-6 barely missing the playoffs. I just don't see the Cards winning more than 5 games with the turnover they have had on the roster. They lost more talent then gained, and the same thing happened last year and the squeaked by with a 8-8 record.

If he can play all 16 games, I will have better hopes of them winning alot more games then 5, but I don't see that happening.

High end 10 wins and possible WC.
Low end 6 wins and maybe a top 10 pick that can be trade out for more picks.

I see it about the same, but I don’t want them trading down from a top ten pick.

I agree, I don't want them to trade out of the top ten but we both know that's PC/JS MO in the first round. It has been a long time they've drafted that high so it's quite possible they may actually stand pat and take a top 10 talent.

13-3(only lose 3 because we'll have HFA locked up).

Beat Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. Repeat.

As for Jacksonville.

I can see 13-3

Losses are One of the Tennessee games, Philly, and possibly Pittsburgh

A somewhat optimistic prediction. More realistic would be 12-4 or 11-5
The big assumption is that everybody is actually healthy - of course

Week 1: vs Atlanta W 1-0
Week 2: at Tampa W 2-0
Week 3: vs Indianapolis W 3-0
Week 4: at Tennessee W 4-0
Week 5: vs Minnesota W 5-0
Week 6: at NY Giants W 6-0
Week 7: vs Carolina W 7-0
Week 8: at Jacksonville (London) W
Week 9: BYE
Week 10: vs Dallas W 8-0
Week 11: at New Orleans L 8-1
Week 12: vs NY Giants W 9-1
Week 13: vs Washington W 10-1
Week 14: at Dallas W 11-1
Week 15: at Rams W 12-1
Week 16: vs Houston L
Week 17: at Washington L

Final record: 13-3, and HFA.

Part of the HFA issue is I think the NFC West and NFC South will beat each other up. I doubt Rodgers will be able to drag the Packers too far along. Also, the fact that three (or maybe four) of the most important team leaders - Wentz, Peters, Hicks and Sproles) - did not play in the Super Bowl because of injury could well serve as additional motivation for the team wanting to get back, and avoid a post SB let down.

Some of the games will be very close (Atlanta, Minnesota, Rams, Jacksonville), and one of the the Atlanta and Minnesota games probably would be losses if they were away games. The Jacksonville game could also be a loss, a lot depends on what the team does going out to London (go early or late).

Overall, I think the Eagles will be better than the team that won the Super Bowl. They will have Jason Peters, Carson Wentz, Jordan Hicks back, and I think they have upgraded the WR position and D-line. CB is a big question mark, with the loss of Robinson, though I think the loss will not be as bad as feared. Not sure whether Sproles will be returning. Of course, one of the bigger assumptions is that (a) Wentz is healthy starting the season, and (b) Jason Peters does not fall of the Elderly Cliff.

I get an 11-5 vibe from them.

With Bortles at the helm you know you're going to have a few games where he's complete garbage but I do think they are an overall better team this upcoming season.

If history is anything to go by I don't see the Eagles going 13-3. It's pretty difficult for a team to pull off back to back 13+ win seasons and typically you see teams go 12-4 or worse the following year.

Even the Patriots who've had the benefit of playing in a weak division and against a weak AFC usually don't pull off back to back 13+ win seasons. Their average record is typically 12-4.

And when you consider the NFC got even tougher and the NFC East so give them more resistance I think it'll be tough for them to go 13-3 again.
