Atlanta
They return to form,
And will be in the playoffs.
But not the S-B.
Arizona
Could be pretty good.
But are in a division
That is much too strong.
Baltimore
They’re like the Giants;
Championship, followed by
Mediocrity.
Buffalo
Can Sammy Watkins
Make E.J. into a star?
History says no.
Carolina
They won’t be as good.
Had lots of good luck last year.
Cannot count on that.
Chicago
Now they have offense;
But it’s their defense that’s weak–
Ya can’t have it all.
Cincinnati
They will fall apart;
Dalton and Lewis will go;
Green new Megatron.
Cleveland
With Johnny Football
Being the next Broadway Joe,
They might beat the Colts.
Dallas
No “D” in Big D,
At least, that is how it looks;
8 and 8 again.
Denver
Seem to have improved;
But stats say that offense will
Regress to the mean.
Detroit
After collapse last year,
Will be hard to be rebuilt–
But what else is new?
Green Bay
Are underrated;
First game will tell us a lot–
If well-refereed.
Houston
Clowney and Watt will
Be difficult to slow down.
But the offense won’t.
Indianapolis
Andrew Luck’s third year
Will be the one where he breaks
Into the “elite” class.
Jacksonville
They’re gonna be bad.
Like, really, really awful.
As in, not too good.
Kansas City
Still a decent team–
But San Diego and Denver
Are too much for them.
Miami
Buffalo swept them
Last year. That alone is a
Harbinger of doom.
Minnesota
Year of Transition–
“Bridge over Troubled Water”
You might even say.
New England
With improved defense
Tom Brady and Belichick
Finally get four.
New Orleans
Maybe I’m crazy;
But Brees has to decline soon–
And he’s their offense.
New York Jets
Decker in for shock–
Amazing how good you look
When on Manning’s team.
New York Giants
When they’re counted out
Is when they do their best work;
But can’t beat the ‘Hawks..
Oakland
The AFC West’s
“Other” football team is still
Down in the cellar.
Philadelphia
Who needs DeSean
When they have LeSean and Foles?
Reinvent the screen.
Pittsburgh
Will win division
But more or less by default–
And lose in first round.
San Diego
They will beat Denver,
But lose two to the Raiders
And go 8 and 8.
San Francisco
Kaepernick should not
Throw to the right-side corner
With game on the line.
Seattle
The next Dynasty
Makes it back again this year–
But won’t win title.
St. Louis
“Distractions” can be
overcome, but the Niners
and ‘Hawks cannot.
Tampa Bay
Cool new uniforms
Sadly cannot mask the fact
They’re still pretty bad.
Tennessee
Will be wild-card,
And could even win a game–
But can’t beat the Colts.
Washington
After this season,
They will want to change their name,
They’ll have been so bad.
I like the way you predict.
Thanks. Makes it more fun, even when I’m wrong. (Often)
