OTHER PREDICTION STATEMENTS
-Buccaneers switch to Mike Glennon at QB halfway through the season
-Raiders OLB Sio Moore(70+ tackles, 9+ sacks) and Steelers WR Markus Wheaton(30+receptions, 600+ yards) surprise their rookie season
-Giants HB David Wilson runs for 1,200+ rushing yards and 11+ total TDs
-Panthers defense becomes top 5 defense in NFL
-Team with the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft: New York Jets
(2012: Arizona Cardinals)
Many analysts have said they don't believe the Jets are the worst team in the NFL. I believe they are. With a seemingly aimless offense and a declining defense, they could easily win the Jadeveon Clowney contest.
-Most Improved Team: Tennessee Titans
(2012: Seattle Seahawks)
I am proud to say I correctly predicted the Seahawks breakout and win/loss record last season. This year's Tennessee Titans could be next. While I could have chosen a few other teams for this title(the Bengals, Cowboys, Chiefs, etc.), the Titans have not only a solid offense for the first time in years, but actually possess countless play-makers at various key positions.
-Super Bowl XLVIII Champion: Atlanta Falcons
(2012: Houston Texans)
-Buccaneers switch to Mike Glennon at QB halfway through the season
-Raiders OLB Sio Moore(70+ tackles, 9+ sacks) and Steelers WR Markus Wheaton(30+receptions, 600+ yards) surprise their rookie season
-Giants HB David Wilson runs for 1,200+ rushing yards and 11+ total TDs

-Super Bowl XLVIII Champion: Atlanta Falcons
(2012: Houston Texans)
It is finally the Atlanta Falcons turn to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. There are so many events that point toward huge success for this team in 2013; Matt Ryan and co. winning their first playoff game in 2012, a solid 2013 NFL draft, two blockbuster free-agent acquisitions in HB Steven Jackson and DE Osi Umenyiora, increased player development through players like WR Julio Jones, OLB Sean Weatherspoon, and FS Thomas DeCoud, and finally, the greatest tight end of all time returning for one last hurrah.
Week 1 starts tonight.
