That's the AFC South........so they are trading him when they are in first place?

 

FWIW Badol, I laughed when you wrote it and honestly NFCS, AFCS, eh they both suck.  This is coming from a guy who’s lives in Tampa since the Bills/Giants SB, and fans here have no aspirations as to this year for the Bucs.

I always do eight in total. Four Bills and four non-Bills. 

 

Four non-Bills:

- Saints to win the NFC South and make the NFCCG;

- Russell Wilson benched before the season ends for performance reasons;

- All four AFC North teams to finish the regular season with winning records;

- The Green Bay Packers (not the upstart Lions or the reigning champion Vikings) to win the NFC North.

 

Four Bills specific:

- Gabriel Davis leads the Bills in touchdown receptions (regular season);

- Jordan Phillips is not on the Bills by week 18;

- Dorian Williams starts at linebacker and garners defensive rookie of the year votes;

- Josh Allen has a career low in rushing attempts and interceptions (regular season).

Out of curiosity, how'd you do last year?

0/8. And to be honest I wasn't that close on any.

Same here.  Last year was bad (25%), after a good 2021.

 

Non-Bills:

1. Jets miss the playoffs
2. Panthers win at least 8 games
3. Giants finish last in NFCE
4. Colts have worst record in the league

Bills:

1. James Cook finishes top 5 in RB YPC
2. Elam wins and retains #2 CB role
3. Bills begin season 8-0
4. Milano wins DPOY

 

 

[major]

Bills:

1. Deonte Harty will be our breakout WR this year

2. We will be a run first team and rely on short range passing (not sure how well this will go over with Diggs)

3. We will finish as #2 defense in league

4. Our offensive numbers will be down due to Josh not running as much anymore

5. Bills will be 10-7. 
 

NFL:

1. Saints win their division

2. Jets won’t make playoffs 

3. Lions will take a step back

4. Eagles will be the nfc champion again

5. Hopkins will sign with KC before training camp 

6. Chicago will win 5 games

7. Arizona and Colts will battle for worst record (colts will finish last though and get Caleb Williams in next year’s draft)

8. Ravens will win 9 games

9. Packers won’t make playoffs

Going bold alphabetically, not doing everyone because not everyone is bold

 

BAL- miss the playoffs despite Lamar playing all year as division attrition and WC tie breaker vs Jets haunts them

 

CHI- only go 4-13 and Fields ends up being a more glorified runner then passer and again CHI has to ask what to do at QB

 

LAC- implode at 6-11 and Staley is fired

 

NYG- luck smiles the opposite way as they go 5-12 and are never really close to being in the hunt at any point

 

SEA- they win the NFC West and 1 seed at 12-5

 

agree with these (and i changed your predicted win totals slightly).  In order most likely:

 

Baltimore misses the playoffs.  Unlike KC with Kelce, you Can take Andrews away from Lamar.   And after that . . . nothin. 

 

NYG will be lucky if they win 6 games.  Because its like the pre-season predictions where the win totals for the league are more than the losses.  Somebody gotta lose a whole buncha games this year.

7. Josh McDaniel gets fired in Vegas

 

will Tom Brady have any input here?  And if so, which side of the scale will have his thumbprint?

Josh won’t get fired, in my opinion. That’s Brady’s boy

Bills Predictions:  

1. Josh Allen has his highest rated season and wins MVP
2. Dorian Williams locks down the starting MLB position
3. Elam breaks out and locks down a starting corner position
4. Bills finish the season top 5 in sacks with Rousseau reaching double digits
5. Bills defense and offense both rank in the top 2 of the league

Predictions for rest of NFL:

1. Watson returns to being a top 10 QB
2. Giants regress to below .500
3. Sam Darnold starts at some point in SF
4. Nick Chubb leads the NFL in rushing and touchdowns
5. Miami finishes with 9 or 10 wins but misses the playoffs

Anthony Richardson will be the Colts' starting QB by the end of the season and he will lead them to a WC spot.

Bills:

-We lose to the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

-Josh Allen leads the team in rushing with Cook, Harris, and Murray eating into each other's carries.

-Stefon Diggs leads the league in catches.

-Bills go 9-0 at home (including Jags game in London).

Yea last year is probably my worst set of Bolds since I have been on this forum. To be fair I feel better about this year's but who knows?

Which is why it makes it a BOLD prediction

[maddenboy]

fair enuf

 

i guess if TB is there and you Still get fired, it says a lot. 

 

I do hope he gets fired.   Just . . . cuz.    Popcorn something something, even though the raiders are irrelevant

[Mister Defense]

Jarrett Stidham is the Broncos starting quarterback to open the season. 

 

And it wasn't even a close contest in camp.

[In Summary]

After the season, the Bills draft the Diggs successor in a stronger WR class.

[BillsFooteball]

By the end of season Elam is CB1

James Cook will lead the NFL in YPC

[Gary Marangi]

Bills will cake walk through the AFC
