This was last years:

Patriots.  Raiders.  Steelers.  Seahawks.  All popular picks. 

Patriots is the boring/easy one.  Raiders, Seahawks didn't even make the playoffs.  Steelers lost their first game (second round).

Dont forget before last season started the Bucs were the hot pick to win the south and make noise, I kid you not.

I would take pre season predictions with a gigantic grain of salt.

There are always teams that were good the previous year who are much worse the following year, and vice versa. The media tends to just make safe picks based on last seasons data.

Personally, I think the fact that the Saints beat us three times last season makes it difficult for many in the media to pick the Panthers to win the division. Furthermore, I think the media tends to fall in love with the offensive side of the ball and place less emphasis on the defense. At the end of the day, these predictions mean nothing.

I will say that I hope the defensive brain trust develops a better game plan against Saints this season. The Panthers' average points per game allowed were 19 points (this includes two of the Saints games). In the three games against the Saints, the Saints averaged 32 points per game against the Panthers scoring 30+ points in every game. In 2016 the Saints averaged that same 32 points per game against us albeit only scoring 20 in the game they lost. In 2015 they averaged 30 points per game against us (Drew Brees did not play in one of those games) even though they lost both games.

The Rams are the clear favorites. It could be an all LA Super Bowl. You think the NFL wouldn't set that up to generate interest?

Wouldn’t that be something? Obviously not what I’m rooting for but would be pretty interesting none the less.

I don’t get the love for Atlanta. They just finished up a winless preseason. Although I know it is not the “end all, be all,” the ‘82 Redskins are the only team to I winless in the preseason and win the Super Bowl. Also, the Falcons only scored 27 points in their four preseason games. That’s quite the big-time offense there.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
