Pigskin Predictions

‘Wow’ is about the only word I can think of to describe the last few weeks of football. Teams like Philadelphia have blown some big games and teams like Seattle have finally come around.
There are two big games coming up this weekend with Cincinnati at Pittsburgh and Carolina at Atlanta. To be honest I don’t care who wins those games because I don’t see any of those four teams making it out of the first round.
I’m taking the two underdogs in Cincinnati and Carolina just to be ornery. Out of the four teams I think Pittsburgh is the best just because you never know if this is the week Ben Roethlisberger will throw six touchdowns.
In the AFC Denver and New England are still the best two teams. In the NFC Green Bay at Seattle lead the way.
Longer shots with a good chance include Detroit, Dallas and Indianapolis. If one of those seven teams don’t win the Superbowl, I will be shocked.
The most disappointing teams this year have been San Francisco and Miami. I over rated both of them. Buffalo and Arizona are two teams I think will be very tough next year.
Arizona Coach Bruce Arians is my pick for Coach of the Year. JJ Watt is defensive player and MVP of the year in my eyes.
Offensive player of the year is Andrew Luck and Odell Beckham Jr. is rookie of the year.
I don’t think I picked any of them earlier in the year.
Funny how unpredictable football is.
Now for my Top 5
1. New England
2. Green Bay
3. Denver
4. Seattle
5. Dallas
