Crapshoot of course but I’ll say Bucs/Colts. Bills finish with best record but somehow stub their toe in the playoffs.

I think Dolphins, Eagles, GB, and sure why not— the Vikings— make noise too.

Rams - Bills

My prediction abilities are incredibly lame so I've just cursed both franchises.

Vikings Broncos

Also...

NFL will resemble the 70s with a much bigger separation between the "haves" and the "have nots."
The Bears, Seahawks, Falcons and Texans will be historically bad
Eagles, not Cowboys, will win the East
Packers finish with NFL's best defense, but offense takes a big step back behind horrible OL play and a banged up Rodgers
Romeo Doubs, not Watson or Lazard, is Packers top receiver
KJ Osborn finishes with more receptions than Adam Thielen
Lions double their '21 win total
For only the 3rd time in 20 years, the Patriots miss the playoffs.
NFL's top rookie receiver will be Chris Olave, but George Pickens will the one everyone talks about

NFL MVP: Kirk Cousins
NFL OROY: Kenny Pickett
NFL DROY: Trent McDuffie

That's bold dude...I think AT has a lot left in the tank - if he stays healthy.

Not if you think AT gets hurt.

Here's to good health for AT!  He is a better receiver than Osborn, we need AT!

AFC:  Colts at Bills (Colts are a very well-balanced team with one of the easiest schedules but I do think the Bills squeak it out)
NFC:  Eagles at GB (my 2 most hated teams..and cowboys) This would be awful, but the Eagles also have an easy schedule and the benefit of playing the Giants/Commandos twice.  But home team wins again.

Bills over the Pukers in the SB with a beat down!

Too many liking the Vikings. Like most of you, I suspect, I prefer being the underdog. But now it's almost as if the narrative has swung to the other side. The Packers might now see themselves as the team with "something to prove."

I don't know how much creedence or motivation these players get from this stuff or not...

I think the Saints are HIGHLY over-rated myself. 

No Sean, No Brees? No way

NFC Division winners:
Minnesota - Dallas - LA - Tampa

Brady slows down considerably, last season.
LA doesn't have the same magic
Dallas has an OL that costs them in the long run

Wild Card:
GB - Niners - Eagles

Eagles still don't have a QB
Niners are dangerous, Lance will be a star but next year
GB, defense is good, OL is weak, WR's will struggle, Rodgers is dinged up all year

Hunter wins Comeback Player of the Year
Cousins is top 5 MVP ranking
JJ gets 1,900 yards, wins OPOY 

Vikings vs Niners in the NFCCG where Donatell confuses the young QB enough for Greg the Leg to send us to the Super Bowl

Vikings vs Buffalo Super Bowl

I thought this was the year I'd be cautiously optimistic and say the Vikings could be a decent team and contend for a WC spot.

Screw that. Super Bowl, homies.

Vikings vs. Bills. Game goes on for 10 overtimes with it appearing that neither team will get off the schneid and finally outright win a SB. However, Greg the Leg Joseph goes on to boot a 70 yard FG that begins to hook left but the strong AC current in AZ's home stadium helps blow it back on course for an improbable Vikings victory.

That's my take and I'm sticking with it.

Agree with pretty much all of this. Only difference is I have the Broncos beating the Bills in the AFCC. I think too many people are discounting the impact Wilson will have on Denver. Bills probably have the better roster though. 

I'd love to see Vikings v. Bills. Both 0-4 in Super Bowls. Something's gotta give.
