6 Bold Predictions for the 2020 NFL Season

Nfl National Football - Free vector graphic on Pixabay

The NFL is in a very weird time right now where there is COVID, racial injustice, and they might even shorten the preseason (that's not that weird, but still). There are going to be some weird predictions and very very wild predictions. Others might be reasonable though. I'll stop talking and lets get to it.


1. Rams are a bottom 15 team

Yes you read that correctly. When you take a look at their projected roster, you can immediately see that they have talent at TE, WR and QB. But for them to be successful, especially in Sean McVay's system, you need a reliable running back. We don't know if Cam Akers will be good or not (I think he will be a 700 yard rusher). For this, we will assume he is OK. Then the O-Line comes in. All except one started was at or below a 50 overall grade from PFF. And their logo has a lots and lots of room for improvement. They shouldn't have switched. 


2. We will get to see Justin Herbert vs Tua Tagovailoa

Normally, this would seem normal, but not here. Justin Herbert scares me for some reason every time he throws. I don't know why. He is 75% ready, but is 25% developmental still. He has all the tools, he just needs to put it all together now. He can be inconsistent at times. Tyrod Taylor will help him out significantly. As for Tua, he is still rehabbing from a major injury and may or may not be ready for week 7. His throwing mechanics are beautiful and he is 99% ready, but he might have to sit out because of the injury.


3. Tom Brady takes the Bucs to the NO. 1 seed

This one is sort of crazy, but it is really not. Lets go down the list here. QB is the GOAT. The WR core is stacked with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and that Minnesota WR that I am pretty excited about. Their runnings backs are decent, but could be better (sign Devonte Freeman). The O-Line is pretty good with all except one person with overall grades 70 or above, and Tristan Wirfs (rookie) had a 91 overall grade. Now to the defense. They have a pretty scary good linebacker core with Lavate David and Devin White. Their D-Line is scary with Ndamukong Suh, Shaq Barrett, Vita Vea, and JPP. Their pass defnse could use some work, but towards the end of last year, they improved a lot. 


4. The Broncos offense ranks in the top 10

This one is not the craziest one in the world, but 2 of the 3 the starting WRs have never taken a snap of NFL action. Drew Lock has been organizing workouts with them, but we don't now until they take the field. Also, Drew Lock himself has given us only a small sample of what he could do. He could either struggle, or succeed in 2020. He has too many weapons to struggle though so he will be fine. And the defense will be fine with Vic Fangio (as a Bears fan, trust me). Their offensive line could hold them back a bit though. 


5. The Redskins rank top 10 in sacks

Their D-Line has 5 first rounders on it. It is absolutely stacked. Also, they have a really good DT named Matthew Ioannidis. They run a base 4-3 defense which for you folks that are not huge football fans is they have 4 D-Linemen and they could have 3 LBs on the fields. It could change based on the offensive formation and other factors. Anyway, back to the D-Line. They have Chase Young (DE), Montez Sweat (DE), Ryan Kerrigan (DT), Jonathan Allen (DT), Da'Ron Payne (DT). That is absolutly scary. No need to talk about them anymore. Moving on.


6. J.K Dobbins makes a Pro Bowl in his rookie year

This might be a little crazy because the Ravens have 4 RBs in Mark Ingram Jr., Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and Dobbins. Of course we can't forget Lamar Jackson. In their RPO offense and all the running backs that they have, it might be a little tough. It's not impossible though because Ingram got 1018 yards on the ground and Gus Edwards got 711. Lamar has said that he might be passing more, so that means more chances for the actual RBs to get yards. His play style fits perfectly though with the Ravens. He can see the hole and go. 



That wraps up this post. Thanks for reading and see you in the next one.

Why Ledarius Mack is not just Khalil Mack's Little Brother

I've been wanting to do this article for a while now, and I finally did it. I was pretty excited when the Bears signed Ledarius Mack and I went a little deeper to see what he really is. I then found it. Sure, there was plenty of hype surrounding him just because he is Mack's little bro, but he isn't just hype. He is a PLAYER. And, Mack improved greatly from when he was playing at ASA college. But, enough talk. I'll show you some film and talk. Disclaimer: even though I am breaking down DE and off-ball linebacker film, he is probably going an off-ball LB for the Bears. But, he could be used like Belichick will use Josh Uche.  First, we will go with his weaknesses. Every player has their weakness, and that's just part of the game. (Yes, even Patty Mahomes. It's that he is tempted to throw a no-look pass whenever someone is open.) But Mack's weaknesses are not very concerning. They can be be easily fixed with the Bears' coaches. These coaches will teach a l...

Week 7 overview

  The time has come (cue the dramatic music), for Justin Herbert to TORCH the Jags. PICK HIM UP. I am telling you right now. Before the article. I picked him up on his bye week. That's how confident I am in him now. Not 6 weeks ago, but now I am confident he is the next big thing. Notice I didn't say Mahomes or Jackson. He is his own type. Mahomes is his own type, and Jackson is another breed. Herbert plays more traditionally with a pocket-presence like a statue, but with a flair of both Jackson and Mahomes. Anyway, enjoy guys. Big game picks: Eagles: 27 Giants: 23 This is the only interesting one I could find (other than the one below this and the Bears game). Like do we really expect the Broncos to be competitive against the Chiefs? (Maybe, who knows. Vic Fangio didn't get hired for nothing. But anyway, Carson Wentz will somehow burn the Giants because he has..... TRAVIS FULGHAM (I'm really high on him). The Giants did do some good things, but it won't be good eno...

NFL Talk 1

Hello guys, welcome to another post from me. Sorry I haven't been posting lately, but high school grind has already started. So, I may not post every week, but I will try my hardest. Also this one will be a little short because I started this on Friday. I promise the other ones will be better.  Big game picks: Chiefs: 30 Pats: 23 If someone can stop the Ravens run game, they can stop any run game. Yes I know this is Bill Belichick and he's going to try to get creative with the running and most likely put RPOs and a lot of that. But, Tyrann Mathieu is not called the Honey Badger for his liking of honey. He will most likely shut it down. And L'Jarius Snead looks to be a steal. Pair that will a good Chiefs good defensive front, I think Bill Belichick will have some trouble (yes I know he is the GOAT of all coaches). I think the Chiefs are going to burn Gilmore, have Sammy Watkins underneath, or CEH doing to usual juking and insane acceleration (seriously, does that guy not hav...
