    Comeback Player of the Year: Aaron Rodgers


    STAT Leaders:

    Receiving TDS: His Gronkness

    Rushing Yards: David Johnson

    Rushing TDS: David Johnson

    Defensive Sacks: Myles Garrett

    Defensive Interceptions: Xavier Rhodes



    Surprise Team (Good): Cardinals. They are 16/1 in a poor division. I suggest a bet.

    Surprise Team (Bad): Eagles. They have a tough schedule, QB question marks and I doubt they make the playoffs.

    Breakout Player: Joe Mixon

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: I say it every year. Tom Brady

    Worst Overall Record: Bills

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: A real changing of the guard in the AFC. Neither the Patriots nor the Steelers get a home playoff game.


    Your own team: Vikings
    
    Regular Season Record: 9-7
    Best Rookie: Brian O'Neilll as he is most likely to see plenty of snaps.
    Most looking forward to seeing: Dalvin Cook, can he push Minnesota into a Superbowl?


    I defy anybody to do worse than me.

    More bad than good. Definitely underestimated the AFC, the influx of young QBs has really bolstered the conference, and not quite sure what I saw in the Vikings.

    I do miss that hopefulness about the season for the 49ers right before the injuries hit again
