Why are people suddenly so high on the 49ers? Is Jimmy G really that good?

Jerick Mckinnon is a nice addition though. I'll give them that.




I guess 10-6 is a legit possibility... but they aren't winning the WEST.

Rams got that division locked down.

I can subscribe to that theory...

but that home field advantage always makes them a threat.

Cowboys have to visit that stadium in week 3.

Jimmy G is good. Also they seem to have a pretty respectable defense (on paper at least)

After watching that first Hard Knocks episode the Browns will be lucky to win 4 games. Coaching staff seems like a joke, nobody on the same page.

Mayfield struggles mightily as the Browns go 0-16 again, yet somehow Hue keeps his job.

49ers win the NFC west.

Raiders are last in the AFC west and Gruden takes a ton of heat.

Over that Rams team? Yeah, good luck with that..

Mayfield won't start until the season is at least halfway over with. Tyrod is going to start. IMO mayfield is the most pro ready out of all the rookie QBs and should be average for a rookie as the floor.

I think the Browns win between 4-6 games, Hue gets fired and Haley is named the new HC.

RIP 2018 Jerick Mckinnon

tough break for 9er fans.



also...

With the Khalil Mack trade, and release of Martavis Bryant... I'd like to retract my Raiders playoff prediction and replace them with Houston.

Houston and Baltimore with the AFC Wild Cards.

Its looking like the NFC north will be the NFC south was last season.

Eh I was somewhat close.

Bolded are Ws. The Lions are a high floor, low ceiling team. I would be shocked if they finished below 7 wins or above 10 wins. End up going 9-7 and miss out on the division title (stays with the vikings with 11 wins), finishing right ahead of the packers (8-8) and bears (6-10). 9 wins will have them falling just short of the wildcard. Patricia first year is met with criticism despite the tough divisional play. Offense is top 5 overall, but due to inconsistency from the front 7, their defense can't keep up.

The NFC continues to outperform the AFC in terms of depth (a good case could be made that 7 of the top 10 teams in the nfl next year will come from the NFC). Vikings vs Rams in the NFC Championship game, Jaguars vs Steelers in the AFC championship game, with a Rams and Jaguars superbowl.


Random stuff:
- Lucks return is impressive and he ends up a clear cut top 10 qb, but not enough to truly compete in the AFC South with an upswing Jags and feisty Titans.
- Clearest evidence of a regression is seen from Brady, start to see the cracks of the dynasty in new england ending
- NFC East is a bloodbath, every team ends up between 6 and 9 wins. Predicting a fairly hefty slump for the reigning champs.
- Both Jared Goff and Todd Gurley are in mvp talks, but goes back to a familiar face in Matt Ryan.

Im doing ok. Lions prediction game by game has been bad, but I could see them ending 8-8 or 9-7. Prediction for the vikes and packers seems right on pace. Bears might get over 6 wins but not by much


Rams looking like true superbowl contenders, jags very much are not


- Luck has been good in his return despite a bad team around him
- Pats are succeeding, Brady is neither holding them back nor propelling them forward
- NFC East very much is a bloodbath, Eagles are struggling, but I overrated the Giants
- Goff and Gurley are both top 10 in MVP consideration, Matt Ryan is arguably top 5


Overall I'd say fairly solid picks. Biggest miss was not seeing the Chiefs being as successful as they've been
