2018 NFL Predictions

Jared Goff

NFC (Playoff teams in bold)

# North WLT Div MVP Fantasy Sleeper

3 Vikings 13-3 4-2 Kirk Cousins Delvin Cook

5 Packers 12-4 5-1 Aaron Rodgers Jamaal Williams

6 Bears 10-6 2-4 Mitchell Trubinsky Anthony Miller

14 Lions 4-12 1-5 Matthew Stafford Kerryon Johnson

It is rare to see three teams in one division make it into the playoffs, but this year in the North they will have that. The Minnesota Vikings will win the division and make it to the playoffs after their defence and offence dominate most games. The Green Bay Packers fans will R-E-L-A-X after another MVP type season for Aaron Rodgers. The surprise in this division is the Chicago Bears making the playoffs. The addition of Khalil Mack makes the defence even more potent. Mitchell Trubinsky should be able to improve the Chicago Bears offence into the playoffs. The Detroit Lions, well they are the Detriot Lions!

# South WLT Div MVP Fantasy Sleeper

2 Falcons 14-2 5-1 Devonte Freeman Calvin Ridley

8 Saints 8-8 4-2 Drew Brees Benjamin Watson

9 Panthers 8-8 2-4 Luke Kuechly DJ Moore

16 Buccaneers 3-13 1-5 Kwon Alexander Ronald Jones II

A lot of teams have potential in this South division, but only the Atlanta Falcons make the playoffs from here. The offence of Atlanta should be even stronger with the addition of wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The defence is very well balanced for Atlanta to ride themselves to the playoffs. The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers both miss the playoffs due to some close games that will come back to bite them. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be this year's Cleveland Browns!

# East WLT Div MVP Fantasy Sleeper

4 Giants 10-6 4-2 Eli Manning Evan Engram

7 Eagles 9-7 3-3 Jay Ajayi Dallas Goedert

11 Redskins 6-10 3-3 Ryan Kerrigan Josh Doctson

12 Cowboys 6-10 2-4 Zeke Elliott Michael Gallup

The general Eli Manning will be back in business, with a healthy Odell Beckham Jr., and a stud running back in Saquon Barkley will lead the New York Giants back into the playoffs. The Philadelphia Eagles will miss the playoffs by one game, and that is because of their divisional gameplay. Philadelphia would need to be above .500 to make the playoffs, and they will fall short. The Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys will be behind playing catch up. The two teams will have to improve on some personnel to get to the next level.

# West WLT Div MVP Fantasy Sleeper

1 Rams 15-1 5-1 Jared Goff Cooper Kupp

10 49ers 7-9 3-3 Jimmy Garoppolo Marquise Goodwin

13 Cardinals 5-11 2-4 David Johnson Christian Kirk

15 Seahawks 3-13 2-4 Russell Wilson Tyler Lockett

The Seattle Seahawks days of dominating the West division is over. The Seattle Seahawks will be rebuilding the team around QB Russell Wilson most of the year. The Los Angeles Rams will dominate the division and the NFL to record a 15-1 season, in which they will lose the lone one game in a divisional matchup. The San Fransico 49ers are an up and coming team, with a few personnel changes on offence and defence, they should compete next year. The Arizona Cardinals will see that Josh Rosen is the answer, and not Sam Bradford this year.
