2014 NFL Playoff Predictions and Awards
AFC East – Patriots
-Boring I know, but this team is loaded, only the Dolphins are
really threatening, and the schedule seemingly has broken nicely for the Pats.
12-13 wins easy, and the top seed in the AFC.
AFC North – Bengals
-Dominant lines, explosive playmakers, and troublesome issues
for each of the division mates.
AFC South – Colts
-Luck. Locker. Fitzpatrick. Bortles. Let’s move along.
AFC West – Broncos
-Boring like the Pats, but makes the most sense. 11 wins easy.
The West will better than people think so.
Wild Cards: Dolphins and Chargers
-Tannehill takes a step forward, and the Chargers remain
offensively efficient while improving the pass defense.
AFC Championship – Patriots over Colts
NFC East – Eagles
-The Eagles are the most complete team. The Giants have little
talent, the Ethnic Slurs have a bad defense, and the Cowboys are the Cowboys
and destined to be 8-8.
NFC North – Packers
-This is a loaded division; the Packers still have Aaron
Rodgers. They dominate the divisional matchups and maximize their most balanced
offense in years.
NFC South – Saints
-I love this Saints team. They have a much better defense than
they have had in past years, and Cooks evens out the offense. They get 13 wins
and the top overall seed.
NFC West – Seahawks
-Tough break for the 49ers again, but Seattle gets
Wild Cards: Lions and Bears
-Both good teams, both would win just about any other division
but are stuck with the Packers.
NFC Championship – Saints
over Packers
-Quite a shootout, but the
Saints have more balance and home field matters here.
Superbowl: Saints over Patriots
-I want to pick the Pats
because of their improvements on defense, but the Saints have the look to me.
Awards
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
-He is the best player, and
will have the best statistical season efficiency wise. Manning will regress,
and Brees/Brady have their most talented defenses in years so won’t press as
much.
OPY: Drew Brees
-6000 yards and 60 Touchdowns
is in play. You heard me.
DPY: Luke Kuechly
-He is a machine.
ORY: Brandin Cook
-He is going to have a crazy
weird statline. I think 60 catches for 1150 yards and 10 TDs is in play.
DRY: Jadeveon Clowney
-What a monster. And he is
getting single teamed because of Watt!
COY: Sean Payton
-General Saints dominance.
