AFC North Winner: Baltimore Ravens
AFC South Winner: Houston Texans
AFC East Winner: New England Patriots
AFC West Winner: Denver Broncos
AFC Wildcards: Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers
NFC North Winner: Green Bay Packers
NFC South Winner: Carolina Panthers
NFC East Winner: Philadelphia Eagles
NFC West Winner: San Francisco 49ers
NFC Wildcards: Detroit Lions, New York Giants
AFC Championship Game: Houston Texans @ New England Patriots
NFC Championship Game: Philadelphia Eagles @ GB Packers
Super Bowl: Houston Texans v Green Bay Packers
Super Bowl Winner: Green Bay Packers
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
Offensive Player of the Year: Matt Stafford
Defensive Player of the Year: Von Miller (yeah, you heard me)
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Andrew Luck
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Luke Kuechly
Surprise Team (Good): Titans. Oversold on trying to get Manning but could afford to do so. Good to great in basically every area of the pitch and Locker will step up this year. Weren't a bad side last year either.
Surprise Team (Bad): Kansas City Chiefs. Look, they're talented and all but i'm still not sold on Crennel as a coach and definitely not on Cassel. They're heavily reliant on the run game and having all those pretty targets in the aerial game isnt worth much with a subpar QB.
Breakout Player: Eric Decker. Manning loves him in practice and he'll be our #1 target. Mannings's No.1 target is naturally going to do quite well stats wise. Von Miller will take the next step as stated above but hardly a breakout when he's a probowler already.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Had this reserved for Ocho before he went all zinedine zidane on his wife. Going with Trent Richardson as he had the misfortune of being drafted by the browns.
Audacious Prediction of the Season: Von Miller will be Defensive Player of the Year, barring injury. Will at the very least contend for the award. On a related note, the Broncos defence will be top 5. Broncos aside, the Bears will miss the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion as they fall to Detroit in a decider at Ford Field in week 17 which goes to the wire.
Your own team: Denver Broncos
Regular Season Record: 10-6
Best Rookie: Derek Wolfe. Tearing it up in camp. Hillman could be brilliant but is struggling with injuries and wont impact early on in all likelihood.
Most looking forward to seeing: Quite a bit. Del Rio's impact on the defence, a decent defensive line with the addition of Wolfe and return of Warren. Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil terrifying QBs...oh and Peyton Manning. More exciting times await in Broncoland 0 -

Jags and Browns in Oakland are their best chance of wins I'd say! Every other game is 50-50 at best! 0 -

Yeah the Pass Defense will likely be shredded this year. Just hope the D Line gets some serious pressure on the opposing QB, otherwise its gonna be a long season.Good point about coming in cold and he is better than anyone OAK have had there since Gannon but regardless he's not at the level anymore where he'll elevate a poor team.. lot of holes regardless, especially on defence and Allen is a total unknown as a head coach. Oakland struggled against the pass last year and will do so again most likely, Allen was no good at stopping the pass as our DC either. Bad enough to be struggling against the pass when Rivers and Manning are up twice each on the schedule alongside Brees and Ben
Raiders making the right moves long term but the bar has been raised in the AFC West of late.
