    AFC North Winner: Bengals (Had it not been for the suspensions I'd have gone Steelers)
    AFC South Winner: Jaguars
    AFC East Winner: Dolphins............ Just kidding, of course it will be the Pat's. Hell I'd tip them if Bill was playing QB.
    AFC West Winner: Chiefs
    AFC Wildcards: Steelers, Raiders

    NFC North Winner:
    Packers
    NFC South Winner: Panthers
    NFC East Winner: Giants

    Defensive Player of the Year: Luke Kuechley
    Offensive Rookie of the Year: Tajae Sharp (WR Titans)
    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Myles Jack
    Comeback Player of the Year: Kelvin Benjamin

    Surprise Team (Good):
    Jags/Giants making the playoffs (although more a sign of the awful divisions the teams are in)

    Surprise Team (Bad):
    Broncos not making the playoffs or Cowboys ending up with the number 1 overall pick.

    Breakout Player:
    Julius Thomas, admittedly he will be breaking back out but still. He will lead all tight ends in yards and TD's and be the player we saw in Denver.

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player:
    Kurt Cousins to be benched by mid-year as he reverts back to his normal level of mediocrity.

    Worst Overall Record:
    Cowboys 3-13, Romo is done. Dak will find the regular season very different to pre-season they will have a few suspensions picked up during the year.

    Audacious Prediction of the Season:
    Odell Beckham Jr. & Antonio Brown will both break 2,000 receiving yards.


    Your own team:
    Giants

    Regular Season Record:
    9-7
    Best Rookie: Sterling Sheppard
    Most looking forward to seeing: I'd love to say Victor Cruz being back to his best but very unlikely at this point. Instead lets just go with the guy in the number 13 jersey.

    Your own team: Chargers

    Regular Season Record: 7-9
    Best Rookie: Joey Bosa
    Most looking forward to seeing: As a chargers fan the whole team showing improvement from last years 4-12 on run defence and on running the ball, Melvin Gordon should come good under coach whiz I think 1100 rush yards and maybe 200 receiving as well for the season and 12 tds from scrimmage, Joey Bosa will come out with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove after the holdout, Hunter Henry will be close to him for top rookie in San Diego as Gates will be more of a red zone threat leaving him to get snaps further downfield,

    Surprise Team (Good): Chargers

    Surprise Team (Bad): Steelers. Jets schedule is also brutal enough for them to plummet.

    Breakout Player: If Keenan Allen stays fit, I think he'll be talked about with OBJ, Brown and Julio.

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: JJ Watt. His back injury could slow him down a lot.

    Worst Overall Record: 49ers

    Genuinely how so many are picking Big ben??

    He's joint favourite for MVP with the bookies and the Steelers are one of the favourites to make it to the Super Bowl. It's a decent shout.

    Super Bowl: Steelers/Seahawks
    Super Bowl Winner: Seahawks

    MVP: Russell Wilson
    Offensive Player of the Year: Antonio Brown
    Defensive Player of the Year: J.J. Watt will deserve it, but since he has won it 3 of the last 4 years and 2 in a row, I think they may give it to the next best due to voter fatigue - Khalil Mack
    Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ezekiel Elliott
    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Vernon Hargreaves
    Comeback Player of the Year: Tyrann Mathieu

    Surprise Team (Good): Jaguars. I've loved what they've done in the drafts over the last few years but this feels very much like last chance saloon for the current coaching staff. It's surely the year that they kick on. Also, the Browns. They're favourite to "earn" the #1 pick in next year's draft, but I think they'll finish relatively comfortably outside of contention for that and at this stage in the first year of a new coaching staff, that has to go down as a (surprisingly) good season.

    Surprise Team (Bad): Ravens. In one of the toughest divisions in the league with an aging roster and many key players coming back from serious injury. I see many people tipping them to be a bounce-back team, but I think we'll fail to make the playoffs for the second year in a row for only the 3rd time in 16 years. Also, I don't see the Broncos getting up to much at all with their QB situation the way it is, despite their D being excellent, and the Texans also fit into the exact same bracket for me.

    Breakout Player: Sam Bradford. I know he's going into his 8th season in the league (man, where has the time gone!) so it's a big stretch including him here, but I'm a huge fan of his and I think he will finally break out in Minnesota. If we're going for younger guys, Mike Evans is the one that stands out to me.

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Allen Robinson. I really like the guy and I picked him as a breakout player in this thread last year, but I see some analysts with him in their top tier of receivers and to me he's a bit away from that as of right now. The Jaguars also had one of the worst rushing offenses in the entire league last season and attempted the 2nd least amount of carries (they'll be looking to improve that balance) and they have Thomas back healthy, both of which should impact on Robinson's numbers.

    Worst Overall Record: San Francisco 49ers, and they'll select Deshaun Watson with the #1 pick in the 2017 draft.

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: Antonio Brown to beat Megatron's single season receiving yards record and become the first player to ever post 2,000.

    Your own team: Baltimore Ravens

    Regular Season Record: 8-8

    Best Rookie: I was against the Ronnie Stanley pick and it's usually always difficult for rookie T's to play to even average levels, but he has looked excellent in preseason.

    Most looking forward to seeing: Hopefully an injury free season for Breshad Perriman and how having him and Mike Wallace as a deep threat will impact positively on our offense as a whole. Also, Dean Pees (finally) getting fired.

    Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ezekiel Elliott
    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Jalen Ramsey
    Comeback Player of the Year: Eddie lacy(I know he played last year but in reality he didn't)

    Surprise Team (Good): raiders. I'm very high on this team and I for one am delighted the franchise has fully righted the ship.

    Surprise Team (Bad): Broncos. I just think they might struggle despite the defense being unreal.

    Breakout Player:

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Brock osweiler.

    Worst Overall Record: Browns 2-14. I know the cavs Brock the Cleveland sports jinx but the Browns are the Browns and will still do so.

    Your own team: Philadelphia Eagles

    Best Rookie: Carson wentz. 2nd overall pick so he has to be otherwise I'd be worried.

    Your own team: Bears

    Regular Season Record: 7-9
    Best Rookie: Cody Whitehair
    Most looking forward to seeing: McPhee coming back in, Leonard Floyd working out in year 1, and our Defense having a defensive front 7 better than any neutral is likely to be expecting. Maybe among the best in the league. Continued disappointment on offense though, but might outperform my low expectations if Langford has the year I'm expecting of him, if Kevin White starts to show some production on his fantastic potential, and if the newly improved O-line (best guard combo in the league? but still awful at tackles and in serious trouble at centre) can protect Cutler long enough to throw it to him...If if if. Not optimistic on offense.

    My tip for comeback player of the year, Keenan Allen, is already down for the season. Would definitely be going for Kelvin Benjamin now, but that's certainly with the benefit of the last two weeks.

    Surprise Team (Good):
    Jags/Giants making the playoffs (although more a sign of the awful divisions the teams are in)

    Surprise Team (Bad):
    Broncos not making the playoffs or Cowboys ending up with the number 1 overall pick.

    Breakout Player:
    Julius Thomas, admittedly he will be breaking back out but still. He will lead all tight ends in yards and TD's and be the player we saw in Denver.

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player:
    Kurt Cousins to be benched by mid-year as he reverts back to his normal level of mediocrity.

    Worst Overall Record:
    Cowboys 3-13, Romo is done. Dak will find the regular season very different to pre-season they will have a few suspensions picked up during the year.

    Audacious Prediction of the Season:
    Odell Beckham Jr. & Antonio Brown will both break 2,000 receiving yards.


    Your own team:
    Giants

    Regular Season Record:
    9-7
    Best Rookie: Sterling Sheppard
    Most looking forward to seeing: I'd love to say Victor Cruz being back to his best but very unlikely at this point. Instead lets just go with the guy in the number 13 jersey.


    Recap

    AFC - Called 4 of the play-off teams (Jags & Bengals were very wrong). Called the title game, sent the wrong team to the Superbowl.

    NFC - Only 3 of the play off teams & only one of those correctly called as division winner. Nothing else predicted right, didn't even have the NFC superbowl rep's in the play offs.


    A big fat blank on all of the MVP player predictions.

    Suprise team good bad - Giants in play-offs, Broncos not :cool: Jags in play offs, Cowboys with No.1 pick :o

    Breakout player/Overhyped player - Julius Thomas, 281 receiving yards :o Kirk Cousins :o

    Worst Overall Record - Cowboys, clearly I misread the question, I took it to mean predict who would have the best overall record ;)

    Audacious Prediction - Neither were close, although they were both in the top 5 in receiving yards so there's that!!

    Your own team - Not a million miles off and I would say Sterling Sheppard was out best rookie, although pushed hard by Eli Apple, it actually looks to be a stellar rookie class with 4 more rookies seeing significant playing time along with Sheppard & Apple. Would most likely have been 5 with Darian Thompson having looked great in training camp next to Landon Collins.

    Got the Lions record right, but Decker turned out to be the best rookie who did a fantastic job at LT.
    Another solid draft & free agency from the new GM Quin and this team could become a contender.

    My own one there. Basically a lot of bad but correctly picked the SB Winner, DPOTY and comeback player of the year. My good and bad teams were pretty good shouts as was the over hyped player. 49ers wouldn't have got to 6 wins if they played another 16 games though.

    Also the 49ers D-line was pretty bad but Buckner had a pretty good rookie season.

    Breakout Player: Melvin Gordon Chargers yeah

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Kirk Cousins Redskins nope

    Worst Overall Record: Browns 1-15 yeah

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: Giants go 14-2, Beckham only gets 900 yards receiving very far off


    Your own team: Chargers

    Regular Season Record: 7-9
    Best Rookie: Joey Bosa
    Most looking forward to seeing: As a chargers fan the whole team showing improvement from last years 4-12 on run defence and on running the ball, Melvin Gordon should come good under coach whiz I think 1100 rush yards and maybe 200 receiving as well for the season and 12 tds from scrimmage, Joey Bosa will come out with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove after the holdout, Hunter Henry will be close to him for top rookie in San Diego as Gates will be more of a red zone threat leaving him to get snaps further downfield,

    Done o.k. I think, not far off with my prediction for Gordon, if he hadn't missed the last three game's with injury he would have got the yardage

    Audacious Prediction of the Season:Ryan brothers sacked in Buffalo by Week 10 bye. Vikings start poorly, but Bradford leads them to wildcard, and is in discussion for OPY award.

    Surprised they lasted til week 15.

    Regular Season Record: 9-7
    Best Rookie:Darron Lee
    Most looking forward to seeing: Robby Anderson running wild with Decker & Marshall covered so tightly

    Wrong on so many levels, but at least Lee & anderson were okay
