Mostly agree with your predictions and I'd slightly change a few wins and loses.

Assuming injuries aren't a major factor I just don't see TB or SEA going 12-4. I think they are capable if things go right for them but they'd have to go really right for them but they both play in tough divisions and it's a tough conference. I'd probably go 10-6 for both of them at this point and I don't think any NFC team is above 11-5 this season.

Not sure what totals I'd give them but I'm a little warmer on teams like MIA, ATL, and HOU and colder on teams like JAX, NYG, and DEN but not by much.

Rams finishing last in the division would be quite the fall from grace

That's pretty much chalk other than the AEAST but if there was ever a year to be chalk, it would be this season

Even sans Brady NE is easily better than 5 wins.
Philly is better than 8-8, I don't see NY Giants as an 8 win team. I see Dallas going deeper in the playoffs.

NO wins the NFCS, I won't be surprised if Tampa doesn't make the playoffs.

A lot of people are going to look really stupid on Tampa this year

Imo the buyers but either way some people are going to look real dumb. Kind of Cleveland 2019esque
The hype is definitely reminiscent of the Browns hype last year but I do think the Bucs are a 10 win WC team. I think they finish 2nd in that division behind the Saints.
I hope Seattle can win 12 games and get the #1 seed but I'm a little skepticle. That division is really tough and I also think the Rams are a .500 team. I do think the Hawks finish first, barring injuries and it will be right down to the wire with them and the 9ers again. But I'm not sure the top seed comes out of that division. NFCN might get that or NO.
AFCE way off imo. Buffalo should win it but the Pats will still be right there. The Jets and Phins aren't beating the Pats yet, imo.

My thing with Tampa is people are only looking at the mistakes Winston made and not how many points they scored because of the elite level passes he did make.

Winston ranked top 3 the last few years in passes completed difficulty . Brady has been in the bottom 5 the last few years

Basically Winston and Tampa gave up points they shouldn't have last year but they also scored a ton of points that a normal team wouldnt have.

It remains to be seen how Brady and his strengths translate to that offense with those weapons and im just not sure its going to be as seamless as people think it'll be

I get where your going but I think they will still score plenty of points with the players they have even if Brady doesn't have the throwing ability he once had. With Winston, you can really say his TOs cost them at least 3 or 4 games last season. He was just way too inconsistent and there were some terrible plays that could have been the difference. I don't think it wil be seamless either but 20+ fewer TOs is a massive difference when they lost 6 or 7 one score games, iirc.

My 2 thoughts here:

1) Why was there a market for Brady?
2) Why wasn't there a market for Winston?

I guess everyone in the NFL could be wrong. It happens. But I'll take their word for it and think that Tampa Bay should be a contender.

Anyone can win the NFC though. Really don't like making NFC predictions this year.

Don't get me wrong Tampa should be better but they're still a 7-9 team with not much rin game , an average OL and a decent bit not great D

Its a ton of weight to put in a 43 year old QBs shoulders even if that QB is Brady

I actually like the pieces Tampa has in place. My bigger issue is that Brady looked bad down the stretch last year.

I think I heard a stat that Brady got blitzed twice as much as normal last year because no one was afraid of the Patriots being able to burn them. I think if that translates to Tampa then you do in fact have a 7-9 team. Godwin is the perfect WR for Brady, though, and the perfect WR for Arians system. From an Xs and Os standpoint, Tampa's pass offense has a lot of potential.

I'll have mine up later.

I have to write or type up the numbers to see if they work out evenly.

With Seattle is hinges on there defense, there offense is gonna be good, but last years D was sub-par and it cost them, so we'll see if they have taken steps to improve there.... On paper they have, but we need to see it play out ....
