2016 NFL Predictions

[USCDoom]

Not to be a dick, but wouldn't 72% be 12-4?

That is where the Gut Feeling comes in. I think they will be better than the actual stat. Add that in with my opinion that there are very few games Green Bay should lose, and 13-3.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

All depends on perspective. If people think that teams like Baltimore and Cleveland could bounce back a bit this year and Cincy stays the same then going 3-3 in the division doesn't seem out of the realm of reality. Then you throw in some key guys on offense being gone for part of the season and the defense being somewhat of an unknown/possibly average group it makes sense to a degree. I would also add does anybody trust Big Ben to stay healthy the entire year? Most years of his career he misses 3-4 games and well with the way that Landry has looked behind him and the team leaning pretty hard on the offense hard to see them winning some of those games.

I think they do better than 8-8 but there are some question marks for sure about this team.

IMO, the only realistic perspective for an 8-8 season is Ben goes down for an extended period of time.

Absent of that, they have enough depth now to withstand an injury at just about every other position and be a 9 win team.

I do agree on the questions...and I think that applies to every team. The parity machine pretty much guarantees that every season.

Every year the pundits count the Steelers out, & every year they play well into January. This year will be no exception. The Steelers will win the AFCN. Look for it!

The Bungholes? Are you kidding? Lately they have started off OK, but folded down the stretch. They usually shoot themselves in the foot, because they're the Bungholes.

Last year was the first year they made it out of the first round since 2010. They didn't even make the playoffs 2 of the last 4 years.

Well Minnesota and Dallas lost their QBs. Chicago looks much worse than I thought they would (though with Fox as coach they never show much in preseason). I also think the AFC South will not be as good as I thought they would (though maybe it wont show up in the records).

Basically almost every opponent Green Bay plays looks worse now than 4 weeks ago, while Green Bay looks very good.

Looks like that made Minnesota and Dalass better.
