That being said, don't send me any hate mail just yet Eagles fans, because I do have your team advancing to the NFC title game for the second straight year where they lose to the. Last year, I picked the Eagles to win the division and although I think they'll once again be good, I'm rolling with the Cowboys this year. The bold part here is that I'm picking Dak to win MVP even though he's coming off a year where he became the first player in NFL history to lead the league in interceptions in a season where he missed at least five games. With CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks both in the fold, Dak Prescott finally has two top receivers who can both put up big numbers and if you combine that with the fact that the Cowboys running game is a giant question mark this year with Tony Pollard coming off a serious injury, I think we could see a career year from Dak. NFC East bold prediction: Dak Prescott wins NFL MVP. Not a bad hangover, but just nagging enough that they take a lot of Advil and miss playoffs. The last time we saw them on the field the Chargers were blowing a 27-0 lead to the Jaguars in the playoffs and I feel like that loss could lead to a hangover in 2023. They are perpetually rolling the ball up the hill, only to have it continually roll over their hopes and dreams on its way back down the hill. If you didn't take a Greek mythology class in college, that's the guy who rolls the ball up the hill but never actually makes it to the top. Since the arrival of Brandon Staley in 2021, the Chargers have been on the cusp of greatness, but they haven't quite been able to get over the hump and I think that's mainly because someone cursed this franchise to never get over the hump. AFC WestĪFC West bold prediction: Chargers miss the playoffs The Titans roster is slightly better than it was last year and Tennessee has Mike Vrabel, who continues to be one of the most underrated coaches in the NFL.Īlso, the Jaguars have to play the 49ers, Bills and Chiefs this year while the Titans get to avoid all three of those teams, and I think that could end up playing a huge factor in who wins the division. This year, Tannehill is back and they've made a major upgrade at receiver by signing DeAndre Hopkins. It's easy to forget that the Titans literally came one play away from winning the division last year.īasically, the Titans almost won the division last year even though they had an injured quarterback ( Ryan Tannehill) and no receivers. This is not a typo, I am picking the Titans to win the division. AFC SouthĪFC South bold prediction: Titans win the division With Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson at quarterback, plus a reloaded Steelers team, it's hard to imagine any team in this division finishing the year with a losing record (Note: I'm also picking every AFC East team to finish with a winning record, which I guess is extra bold since since this has never happened in NFL history and I'm predicting it to happen twice in one year). There have been several seasons where the last place team finished 8-8 (that most recently happened last year in the NFC East), but there's never been an instance where every team finished ABOVE. Since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, there has NEVER been a season where every single team in a division finished with a winning record. The AFC North is so loaded this year that the entire division could end up making NFL history. Also, I'll need to see Tua Tagovailoa stay healthy for an entire season before I start believing that he can actually stay healthy for an entire season.ĪFC North bold prediction: Every team in the division finishes above. Before they get to their Week 9 bye, they have to face the Chargers, Patriots, Bills, Giants and both Super Bowl teams from last year. ![]() My biggest problem with the Dolphins is that I think there's a good chance they could stumble out of the gate. Let me start off here by saying that I actually like the Dolphins, I just like everyone in the AFC East a little bit more. AFC EastĪFC East bold prediction: Dolphins finish in last place You don't care about last year though, so let's get to the 2023 predictions. I feel so bad about whiffing on them last year that I'm going to make it up to them by picking them to win the NFC East this year. With a first-year coach, they ended up going 9-7-1 and making the playoffs. I had them going 5-12 and if you watched any football in 2022, then you already know that the Giants didn't go 5-12. On the other hand, I completely whiffed on the Giants. Finally, if you're wondering how I did last season, I picked the exact record or came within one win of picking the exact record of nine different teams, including the Dolphins, who I said would go 9-8. ![]()
