Mario's NFL prediction after week 1.

 Okay, the way most people usually do it, they make picks before the season starts and before seeing what a team actually looks like. I myself will not make a prediction for every single team in the rankings until seeing them play at least one game, because let's be honest, what does the preseason really show us? NOTHING! at all.

 Now that week one of the NFL season is over, I can now go through and list where I believe that every team will end up come the end of the season as far as rankings go in their division.

  AFC NORTH
1. Bengals
2. Ravens
3. Steelers
4. Browns (Sorry Cleveland)

AFC SOUTH
1. Texans
2. Colts
3. Titans
4.Jaguars

AFC EAST
1. Patriots
2. Dolphins
3. Bills
4. Jets

AFC WEST
1. Broncos
2. Chiefs
3. Chargers
4. Raiders (Will make progress though)

NFC NORTH
1. Packers
2. Vikings
3. Lions
4. Bears (Da Bears)

NFC SOUTH
1. Falcons
2. Saints
3. Bucaneers
4. Panthers

NFC EAST
1. Cowboys
2. Redskins
3. Eagles
4. Giants

NFC WEST
1. Seahawks
2. 49ers
3. Cardinals
4. Rams

There you have it! I have ranked where I believe the teams will finish in their divisions for the 2013-14 season.... It seems to be a very interesting season that we are getting ready to watch! 

Are you ready for some football?

 That's right! The NFL season is now among us, no more guessing after this week when we dive into the regular season of the NFL. The season will kick off with a special game, a rematch of the AFC championship from last season when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Denver Broncos. Baltimore are coming off an amazing super bowl run and the Broncos are coming off of a great season which was ended by the Ravens when Joe Flacco hooked up with Jacoby Jones on a miracle touchdown pass over the head of the Denver defensive back. This game should be very intense and there will be a lot of questions on both sides. For instance, How will the Ravens defense look like without having hall of fame linebacker, Ray Lewis(Retired) and Safety Ed Reed(Now with Houston) on the field for them? How will Joe Flacco look without having his security blanket, wide receiver, Anquan Boldin (Now with San Francisco)? On the other side, How will this Broncos defense look with their all-pro linebacker, Von Miller suspended for the first couple of games, Hall of fame corner back, Champ Baily being ruled out due to injury? Also, how will that Broncos defensive line look with no Elvis Dumervil(Now with the Ravens)? I believe the only thing that we don't have to really question is Peyton Manning.

 The NFL season will get underway with what should be an amazing game to capture the attention of football fans everywhere, and get us ready for what should be a great season.

 Now, I will share some of my predictions for this upcoming season...............
Bold Prediction: Peyton Manning will throw for nearly 60 touchdowns! I'm calling 55 at least.

Most Improved Player: Mark Ingram (RB), New Orleans Saints.

 Offensive Rookie of the Year: Robert Woods (WR), Buffalo Bills.

Defensive Rookie of the Year: Tyrann Mathieu (DB), Arizona Cardinals (My boy hawk made me a believer).

Offensive Player of the Year: A.J Green (WR), Cincinnati Bengals.

Most Valuable Player: Peyton Manning (QB), Denver Broncos.

Surprise Team (most improved): Philidelphia Eagles. I believe they can win at least 7 games this season...

Early AFC Championship game prediction: New England Patriots vs.Denver Broncos

Early NFL Championship game prediction: Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons

Early Super Bowl prediction: Denver Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons

 I know that come tomorrow all football fans can finally stop watching old highlights from last season and watching old re-runs of preseason games just to get their fix. I have been waiting for this week since the day the super bowl ended and it's finally among us, so now football fans go get your new televisions, get your groove ready for your couch spots, get some refreshments for your tailgates and kick-off weekend parties,  the only thing you have to do this weekend when all of those NFL games come on is............. ENJOY!
