Goz and the rest of the 104.5 The Team staff made their predictions for the upcoming NFL season but I decided to wait. So here we are just hours from the season officially kicking off and I think I'm finally ready. So here are my predictions:

MVP:Derek Carr (HOMER PICK)
AFC East Champion: New England Patriots. The AFC Least is no where near ready to challenge the Pats.
AFC North Champion: Pittsburgh Steelers. Browns are my pick for most improved this year but that's not saying a ton considering how far they have to go.
AFC South Champion: Houston Texans. Healthy JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney is going to equal a  lot of wins.
AFC West Champion: Oakland Raiders: If Derek Carr stays healthy they'll outscore a lot of teams.
2 Wild Cards: Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs
AFC Title Game: Raiders over Patriots. I'm hoping for some kind of Karmic justice here for the Tuck Rule Game.

NFC East Champion: Philadelphia Eagles. I truly believe in the Giants but there's something about this Eagles team.
NFC North Champion: Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers makes all the difference.
NFC South Champion: Atlanta Falcons. Matty Ice will be almost as good as he was last year.
NFC West Champion: Seattle Seahawks. That defense though!
2 Wild Cards: New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
NFC Title Game: Seattle Seahawks over the Green Bay Packers

Super Bowl 52: Seattle Seahawks over Oakland Raiders
