OTHER PREDICTIONS
-Browns switch to Johnny Manziel halfway through the season, Manziel throws for 1,400+ yds, rushes for 200+ yds
-Mark Ingram rushes for 10+ TDs
-Bishop Sankey rushes for 1,200+ yds, 9+ TDs
-Eagles forge the highest offensive yardage and points total of the season
-Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu combine for 8+ INTs, lead Cardinals defense to league-low in passing yards against

-With the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select:
The loss of Sam Bradford will prove too damaging for an already struggling team.  The big question heading into the off-season will be whether or not to draft a new quarterback.

-Most Improved Team: Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta will prove that last season was a fluke.  With the return of Julio Jones and a meaner, nastier defense, the Falcons will regain form and return to the playoffs.  The Jaguars and Cardinals were also considered for this spot.

-Super Bowl XLIX Champion: Denver Broncos
Last season, the Broncos made it all the way to the big game before falling flat on their face.  Without the Seahawks defense standing in their way this time, Peyton Manning, DeMarcus Ware and co. will hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Glendale, retaining Peyton's status as arguably the best ever.


Week 1 starts tonight.
