***Jaguars***
Strengths - Additions of T.J. Yeldon, Allen Robinson back from injury, Rashad Greene, Julius Thomas, A.J. Cann, Stefen Wisniewski, and Jermey Parnell could bring life to a very lackluster offense. Jared Odrick, Dan Skuta, and Davon House add depth on the defensive side.
Weaknesses: Secondary is so weak it's not even funny. The only notable LB other than Telvin Smith is Paul Posluszny who is slowing down and getting old. Defense looks to struggle again and the offense may not be able to keep up.
Offense - Blake Bortles performance was a bit underwhelming last year but he had no one to help with. With the additions of T.J. Yeldon, Rashad Greene, and Julius Thomas, and a new offensive line (Cann, Wisniewski, Parnell) he has little excuse this year. Toby Gerhart will be back from injury and who knows what he's going to do. Allen Robinson, Bortles' favorite target, is back. So is 'Shoelace' Denard Robinson. Nobody knows who's going to take the starting job out of Denard, Gerhart, and Yeldon. But still Jacksonville yet has tried to go after a veteran WR, which will hurt them (excluding Julius Thomas who I wouldn't consider a vet). Hurns - 2nd year, Robinson - 2nd year, Greene - Rookie, Lee - 2nd year, Doss - 4th year, Benn - 5th year, Walters - 5th year. The Blackmon story is still laughable.
Defense - Secondary wasn't changed too much, and is going to get absolutely burned. Our only notable CB is Davon House. Defensive line is better (Clemons, Marks, Odrick, Miller/Bennett). Dante Fowler Jr's injury hurt tremendously, though. Our LBs are average. Telvin Smith looks to have another breakout year. But if Posluszny is injured again, our defense is going to be flat out terrible.
Let's look at their schedule and make some projections:
Week 1: vs CAR - L 20-14 - (0-1)
Week 2: vs MIA - L 26-17 - (0-2)
Week 3: @NE - L 23-12 - (0-3)
Week 4: @IND - L 41-20 - (0-4)
Week 5: @TB - W 27-20 - (1-4)
Week 6: vs HOU - W 28-24 - (2-4)
Week 7: vs BUF - W 21-13 - (3-4)
Week 8: ***BYE***
Week 9: @NYJ - L 30-23 - (3-5)
Week 10: @BAL - L 37-17 - (3-6)
Week 11: vs TEN - W 34-16 - (4-6)
Week 12: vs SD - L 45-14 - (4-7)
Week 13: @TEN - W 26-22 - (5-7)
Week 14: vs IND - L 35-10 - (5-8)
Week 15: vs ATL - W 17-10 - (6-8)
Week 16: @NO - L 30-20 - (6-9)
Week 17: @HOU - L 28-7 - (6-10)
Prognosis: The Jaguars will finish 6-10 because they still have an underwhelming defense, and in the NFL against good QBs if your defense is bad you're going to suffer. Blake Bortles and company will have to step up or you could see Gus Bradley out the door.

***Lions***
Strengths - Ameer Abdullah is a great replacement for Reggie Bush, and Theo Riddi-ck looks to thrive in a pass-catching HB role. Offensive line is upgraded with the drafting of Laken Tomlinson, and the arrival of Manny Ramirez from Denver. Golden Tate looks to have another big season beside Megatron and Eric Ebron could finally show Detroit that he's going to be their starting TE for years to come. Matthew Stafford has always been solid. Haloti Ngata, Ezekiel Ansah, DeAndre Levy, Glover Quin, James Ihedigbo and the return of Stephen Tulloch head the defense.
Weaknesses - Matthew Stafford is inconsistent and does not play well on the road against good teams. Suh and Fairley are now gone and the only replacement for them was Ngata. Megatron is slowly slowing down due to age while Detroit still does not have a legit receiving TE.
Offense - Matthew Stafford, Joique Bell, Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddi-ck, Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, Eric Ebron. Don't those names sound great? They could be all beneficial but Stafford is the key. Can he play well in those big games or will the pressure get to him for another season.
Defense - Detroit looks like one of the best safety-pairs in the NFL with Quin and a big surprise in Ihedigbo's breakout season last year. Slay also headlines the Lions' above average secondary. The defensive line isn't as good this year as previous years but they do have Ngata and Ansah. The return of Tulloch beefs up the depth of the LBs.
Let's look at their schedule and make some projections:
Week 1: @SD - L 24-27 - (0-1)
Week 2: @MIN - L 23-31 - (0-2)
Week 3: vs DEN - L 41-38 - (0-3)
Week 4: @SEA - L 30-14 - (0-4)
Week 5: vs ARI - W 32-28 - (1-4)
Week 6: vs CHI - W 28-13 - (2-4)
Week 7: vs MIN - W 34-21 - (3-4)
Week 8: @KC - W 24-16 - (4-4)
Week 9: ***BYE***
Week 10: @GB - L 37-20 - (4-5)
Week 11: vs OAK - W 45-24 - (5-5)
Week 12: vs PHI - W 30-10 - (6-5)
Week 13: vs GB - L 31-27 - (6-6)
Week 14: @STL - L 24-13 - (6-7)
Week 15: @NO - W 36-14 - (7-7)
Week 16: vs SF - W 34-6 - (8-7)
Week 17: @CHI - W 28-18 - (9-7)
Prognosis: The Lions will finish 9-7 because their first half of their schedule is tremendously tough. The up and coming of a Minnesota team drastically toughens the NFC North, and Detroit might not be able to keep up. I don't think we'll see any change from Matthew Stafford in previous seasons. Detroit will have to rely on other teams to take out Minnesota and Green Bay to have a shot at making the playoffs.

***Giants***
Strengths - Odell. Beckham. Jr. He will be a force from years to come if his ego doesn't get in the way of his tremendous talent. Shane Vereen is an upgrade at RB to combat with Rashad Jennings, but both have injury histories. Andre Williams is quietly becoming a backup in New York, but I think he could do better than that. We're also here to talk about a great WR core: ODB, Cruz, and Randle. They also don't have a bad TE either in Donnell.
Weaknesses - Defense. The secondary doesn't look too great even with the addition of Landon Collins. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has been slowing down. Defensive line takes a hit with no timetable for JPP to return.
Offense - Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, and Andre Williams. ODB, Victor Cruz, and Rueben Randle, Larry Donnell. They have weapons around Eli. Offensive line looks average with Ereck Flowers, John Jerry, Justin Pugh, and Geoff Schwartz. Will Beatty's injury is such a blow, though.
Defense - Look for Hankins to have a breakout year. Cullen Jenkins has been an utter disappointment since leaving Green Bay, Robert Ayers adds depth. Kennard, Beason, and McClain are above average options at the LB position.
Let's look at their schedule and make some projections:
Week 1: @DAL - L 28-20 - (0-1)
Week 2: vs ATL - W 31-17 - (1-1)
Week 3: vs WSH - W 40-14 - (2-1)
Week 4: @BUF - L 19-11 - (2-2)
Week 5: vs SF - W 26-10 - (3-2)
Week 6: @PHI - L 30-27 - (3-3)
Week 7: vs DAL - L 35-21 - (3-4)
Week 8: @NO - L 21-16 - (3-5)
Week 9: @TB - W 36-13 - (4-5)
Week 10: vs NE - W 20-13 - (5-5)
Week 11: ***BYE***
Week 12: @WSH - W 38-7 - (6-5)
Week 13: vs NYJ - W 16-6 - (7-5)
Week 14: @MIA - L 25-24 - (7-6)
Week 15: vs CAR - W 28-17 - (8-6)
Week 16: @MIN - L 33-23 - (8-7)
Week 17: vs PHI - L 29-21 - (8-8)
Prognosis: The Giants will finish 8-8 because their roster screams average, excluding their RBs and WRs. Dallas is a tough foe in the division and who knows what Philly has in the bag. I say a 30% chance the Giants make the playoffs.

1. We wont lose to the chargers because they cant stop the run and our play action will be good. also their offensive line and RB's are garbage.
2. @MIN, possibility we can lose, but im not sold on the vikings oline or defense.
3. VS DEN i dont see ANY offense in the league scoring 35+ on the lions. Its early in the season when Denver is their best, i think we lose this game.
4. @SEA likely we are going to lose that game, but who knows. maybe seattle has another slow start to the season, and maybe cam will still be holding out. (He has stated hes prepared to miss the season)
5. VS Arizona more likely that we lose this game than the vikings or chargers game. we ARE at home, so that does help us out.
6. VS CHI agree
7. VS MIN lions win on last second FG by prater
8. @KC Hard place to win at, i think we lose this game.
9. BYE
10. @GB I think the Lions win this game, (they have to win at lambo sometime, why not this year) and jordy being out is a big loss. you cant just replace the 7th best WR in the league easily. I think Cobb is overrated.
11. VS OAK agree
12. VS PHI agree (though not as much of a blowout)
13. VS GB i think we lose this game, theres no way we are sweeping Arod in the regular season.
14. @STL im not sure STL has the offensive firepower to beat us, i think we win.
15. @NO agree
16. VS SF agree, not a blowout though, SF still has a decent defense
17. @CHI agree chicago is bad.
I think the lions finish with the same record as last year, 11-5. Despite us being a better team than we were last year. Then SB run babyyyyy |

What do you mean the Chargers' RBs are garbage? They have Melvin Gordon.

melvin gordon is a product of a beastly wisconsin offensive line. notice how they plug any RB into their system and he does good. unless you think they just have star RB's as their backups, in which case good luck to you lol. He's an unproven rookie and i read somewhere on reddit that hes been having a bad camp so far. Ameer Abdullah is the real deal, he got all of his yards behind a trash nebraska offensive line (I would know, because i watched every game) and DET's offensive line is new and improved and for the first time in awhile the lions have a LEGIT run game, and stafford will flourish under this run game because they will have to put 7-8 in the box to stop the run. (which means Golden Tate gets 1v1's all day) Also considering its caldwells second year, and players are MUCH more comfortable in his system than they were last year (im talking about stafford mainly), and caldwell is a QB guru. and stafford is a winner. Lions to the SB |

***Vikings***
Strengths - Teddy Bridgewater is coming back from a year in which he was better than all the rookie QBs - a lot better. With AP coming back oh my the Vikings look scary. If Corrdarrelle Patterson can improve his route running, oh my the Vikings look scary. Kyle Rudolph returns, Charles Johnson looks to be a force, Mike Wallace is in a situation which benefits him. Mike Zimmer worked his magic with the defense last year and I bet he can do it again (Everson Griffen, Shariff Floyd, Anthony Barr, Chad Greenway, Audie Cole, Eric Kendricks, Terence Newman, Xavier Rhodes, Captain Munnerlyn, Harrison Smith). It all fits.
Weaknesses - The concept of being the "dream team" is the sleeper team that will do much damage. Remember Philly and their dream team? How did that pan out? I'm not saying Minnesota will just sputter and choke, but being the dream team means a lot of pressure is on you and everyone expects you to win. Nobody is saying that AP has an underwhelming offensive line and lost great lead blocker Jerome Felton. Phil Loadholt is already out for season and rookie T.J. Clemmings is already thrown into the starting lineup. Matt Kalil could be on the way out of Minnesota if he struggles like he did last season. Casey Matthews is on the IR, Josh Robinson is going to be out for awhile. The injury bug has already hurt Minnesota.
Offense - If Teddy Bridgewater gets protection it's all over for Minnesota's opponents. Adrian Peterson could run behind any OL. Don't forget about Jerick McKinnon, either. Charles Johnson looks to have another breakout season, Stefon Diggs looks like a great speedy option for Minnesota.
Defense - Everson Griffen was amazing last season. Xavier Rhodes and Harrison Smith headline the secondary. Chad Greenway is getting old and Audie Cole and Eric Kendricks are competing for the starting MLB spot.
Let's look at their schedule and make some projections:
Week 1: @SF - W 35-17 - (1-0)
Week 2: vs DET - W 31-23 (2-0)
Week 3: vs SD - W 27-17 - (3-0)
Week 4: @DEN - L 31-28 - (3-1)
Week 5: ***BYE***
Week 6: vs KC - W 34-24 - (4-1)
Week 7: @DET - L 34-21 - (4-2)
Week 8: @CHI - W 35-16 - (5-2)
Week 9: vs STL - W 23-21 - (6-2)
Week 10: @OAK - L 24-17 - (6-3)
Week 11: vs GB - W 35-31 - (7-3)
Week 12: @ATL - W 21-10 - (8-3)
Week 13: vs SEA - L 30-19 - (8-4)
Week 14: @ARI - L 25-22 - (8-5)
Week 15: vs CHI - W 26-9 - (9-5)
Week 16: vs NYG - W 33-23 - (10-5)
Week 17: @GB - L 38-20 - (10-6)
Prognosis: The Vikings will finish 10-6 because their offensive and defensive lines underwhelm. The offensive line are the building blocks for an offense, and the same thing can be said about the defensive line for a defense.
