1. Tennessee (11-6) Tennessee was a game away from the Superbowl the season before and won this division last year. Mike Vrabel is 29-19 since taking over. This prediction is on par with their record last year (11-5). The biggest offseason acquisition was Julio Jones. He provides a dangerous 1+2 punch with Brown. Add in Derrick Henry in the backfield and this offense is going to cause some matchup nightmares. They also locked up Tannehill and Henry long term. Last year this was the #2 offense … [Read more...] about AFC South Preview

Play it safe 1. Philadelphia to win the NFC East. (-150) I know this is terrible odds for a future but let’s be real. They are far and ahead the best team in the NFC east. While I think Alex Smith is an upgrade for the Skins and Dallas and Giants are better this year, they’re still not on Philly's level. They also have the benefit of having a backup in case of the catastrophic QB injury that can ruin a season. Philly will win this division 2. New England to win Super Bowl.

New Kickoff Rules
Just when I thought the NFL couldn’t waste more time and ruin more of the game they go and do this. I’m actually baffled so many powerful, I’m assuming intelligent, people allow such dumb ideas to pass. I’m starting to wonder how much they really understand about football. These rules this year are completely idiotic and are essentially the first step of eliminating kickoffs completely. Below are the new rules for 2018 and a video illustration of them.. Following today’s vote … [Read more...] about New Kickoff Rules

AFC South Preview
Houston 9-7 for the last 3 years and 2 playoff appearances. Bill O'Brien's tenure at Houston has been successful. They even won a playoff game last year. Even with all the questions at quarterback they've been able to maintain an above .500 record, make the playoffs and win their division. Could you imagine if they they had a franchise quarterback? In comes 1st round pick Deshaun Watson. They're saying Tom Savage will be the starter which is smart. Give Watson a year to develop. I'd even … [Read more...] about AFC South Preview
