2012 Season Bold Predictions NFL

Now for my bold predictions for the NFL. If you didn't see the first part of this two part article here are my bold predictions for College football

1. Denard Robinson will light it up in the Cowboy Classic against Bama's Defense
2. Denard Robinson will win the Heisman and lead Michigan to victory in the Big Ten championship.
3. Alabama will not repeat as BCS champions and will lose the SEC to LSU.
4. Matt Barkley will win the BCS championship but will not win the Heisman.
5. Ohio State will win 8 games with new coach Urban Meyer.
6. LSU, in Buffalo Bills fashion, will make it to the BCS championship and lose to USC.

Now on to the predictions for the NFL.

1. Robert Griffin III and not Andrew Luck will win Offensive Player of The Year.
 Alright, I'll say what anyone reading this is thinking, boring. But most people still think Luck is the better QB and will win Offensive Player of The Year. I say they are wrong, as I have ever since I picked RGIII to win the Heisman in the middle of last season.

2. The post bounty gate Saints will win the NFC.
 This one is kind of self explanatory. The Saints have so much talent on offense and their defense is showing great improvement under one of the best defensive minds in the NFL.

3. The Washington Redskins will make the playoffs.
 With the addition of Pierre Garcon the Redskins now have the passing weapons they need to compliment Mike Shanahan's Zone Blocking rushing scheme. With weapons such as Fred Davis, Chris Cooley, Santana Moss, Josh Morgan, and Pierre Garcon RGIII has a good amount of talent around him.

4. The Jacksonville Jaguars will contend for a playoff spot.
 No I am not doing drugs. Yes, I realize MJD is not in camp right now. But after Gabbert's first two pre-season games, I'll go out on a limb and say they will compete for a playoff berth this year. Between the additions of Justin Blackmon and Laurent Robinson, the play of  Blaine Gabbert so far, and the play of 2nd string running back Rashad Jennings the Jags have a much better looking team in Mike Mularkey's inaugural season.

5. Russell Wilson will win the starting QB job in Seattle.
 This would have been a much bolder prediction two weeks ago before I had the stats to back me up. But regardless, just as I said before the draft, Russell Wilson is a NFL starting caliber QB. In two pre-season games Wilson has blown Flynn out of the water. The real test will come if Carrol gives him the shot to start in the 3rd pre-season game and he gets to play against a starting defense instead of only 2nd string players.

6. Tim Tebow will become the starter for the Jets at some point this year.
 And I just lost probably 90% of the people actually reading this. I know his stats have been horrible in the first two pre-season games. Just remember Sanchez's have been just as horrible. When he does become the starter, it very well might be because Sanchez simply sucks. I don't expect Tim to catch lightning in a bottle again this season, but he will get the nod at some point in the season and play good enough to not get replaced by Greg McElroy at least.

    1. Thanks, I try to not pay attention to what the talking heads say when I write my articles because of how few times they are actually right.

      The Jaguars are going to shock a lot of people this year and next year could possibly steal the division.

  4. Thanks Kelsey glad to hear that there are still some real Jaguar fans left. Now I don't know if the Jags can win the division this year but they will make a push for a wild card spot. Now next year, Gabbert's 3rd year and Blackmon's 2nd year Jaguars should have a good shot at winning the division.
