The team jettisoned all of their key offensive play makers the past several years and replaced them with scrubs. Mathews is a decent back but he's prone to injury. Trading significant draft capital for a developmental small school QB was disappointing too. At least the defense will be better.
Eh, you'll be a little shocked when I tell you I have the Eagles going 9-7(spoilered due to length)
Did the Broncos trade all their defensive players? 4-12, really, are you hallucinating ???? At worst 8-8. Defense will win games despite Sanchez.
That Denver prognostication sounds like the prediction of somebody that's still really bitter about losing in Denver and missing SB vs Carolina. Cold that be? Well. We'll just see how wrong all of that is, or not.
Injuries and suddenly old QBs and defenses are all such unexpected things, lol.
I think the Cards have a hangover from last seasons finale, Palmer getting old too. DC is better than 8-8. Carolina will lose more than 2. Pats will face even stiffer competition in their division and lose more than 4 games. GB is not a 13-3 team, Lions are better than you think and so are the Ravens. Cleveland wins more than twice. Tennessee is better than 4 wins and Jax is under 9 wins. Chargers are nowhere near 8 wins, maybe 5. SD is a team that doesn't know where home is anymore. For them it spells disaster, but for Oakland OTOH not so much disaster.
I agree with you on Raiders & Bengals. NE will have a tougher go but wins likely the division. AFC North & South are up for grabs. NFC North is close between MN & GB. Agree that Carolina wins NFC South, but not by 7 fucking games. NFC East is all wrong, DC and NYG will fight it out til the end. Cowboys close behind, Eagles crash and burn. NFC West is Seattle's and the Rams better than you think, Arizona tails off to 9-7, SF trailing far behind.
Lots of unforeseen shit can and will still happen and well, I'm just sayin. Careers will be born, careers will be made and careers will die. As usual, can't wait to see it all unfold.
