Preseason Predictions Thread

I really like Denver as well, but with no pass rush for at least 6 games this year thanks to Von Miller, I think they'll come up short. Yes Miller will be back later but they've also lost Dumervil. They're also unstable at RB...too many possible starters and not a solid #1.

Look at all of the trouble a fax machine can cause...might have cost them a Super Bowl trip.

I think New England won't be quite the team they have been in past years but their 12 wins will be more of a result of their division getting weaker, mainly due to the Bills and Jets. Miami, however, will also benefit from the bottom-feeders of the AFC East.

Baltimore...you peaked last year. Losing Lewis, Reed and ESPECIALLY Boldin will hurt. Flacco threw a lot of bad passes last year, but Anquan's freak ability to catch anything in the air no matter how horribly it was thrown bailed him out a lot.

Philly...Chip Kelly is in for a rude awakening. He's not taking the NFL as seriously as he should a la Steve Spurrier. He claims he sees no difference in speed from the college game. He will on September 9 at 7:10 p.m. His QBs, all three of them that will see action this season, have only DeSean Jackson to throw to and he's going to mail it in by Week 12. McCoy will have a monster year thanks for all of the dump-off passes, but he'll be their only bright spot on offense. Vick will be hurt in the first half of the season. Foles will struggle, again. Barkley will play a couple of games at the end as the desperate new head coach squeaks out 5 wins...tops.
