NFC North Predictions

NFC North 

We shall start with my favorite division. By the way, I also will be having my co-analyst doing some articles with me. 


What I think will happen:


1. Bears-11-5

This is my genuine reaction based on their schedule. They have an easy stretch at the beginning that allows them to get an early 4-0.  And the rest of the opponents aren't very hard at all. Their defense is really really good and got better with the offseason additions of Jaylon Johnson through the draft and OLB Robert Quinn through free agency. We don't need to talk too much about that. However, the offense might hold them back. Competition always brings out the best in people, so that is going to be very helpful. Their O-Line looks better and it should now have continuity because everyone knows where they are going to play for certain. WRs and TEs are set and they are finally going to be good.


2. Packers- 10-6

The Packers don't have the hardest schedule in the world. It's almost in line with what the Bears have. I just have them losing one more game because their defense was prone to giving up big plays, and the front office really didn't do much to help it out. ALSO, their offense might change schemes to a run first offense with Aaron Rodgers at QB?????? He has been doing magic with Davante Adams for a few years now and they are going to struggle a little because of the offense. Either because it will take time to get used to the new offense, or they didn't really add any new good WRs. 


3. Vikings- 7-9

They are going to struggle a teensy little bit on defense at first because of the current situation and Mike Hughes isn't exactly the lockdown corner he was drafted to be. Jeff Gladney looks very promising though. His tape is pretty clean, although he might occasionally get walled out by bigger WRs in the NFL. I don't see a strong or proven slot corner on their roster, and that concerns me because of the way the NFL has evolved. Their offense probably will be fine with Alexander Mattison though (Dalvin Cook might hold out), and their offense still seems pretty strong. So they should be all good there. 


4. Lions- 3-13

Sorry Lions fans, but your schedule and your team as a whole isn't good enough to compete against the better opponents. You could push it to 4-12 or 5-11 if you win against Carolina which you could because of their defense being disintegrated. You could also pull an upset against the Packers too if you don't get cheated by dumb penalties. Your defense is going to have a pretty good secondary, but linebackers are going to have to up their play from last season. The D-line looks decent too. But, I still think the roster not quite good enough to go above .500 yet. Too many things have to happen in a good way quickly to be good. There is hope though.

My anaylst's predictions:

1. Packers: 11-5 (Makes playoffs)
2. Vikings: 10-6
3. Bears: 8-8
4. Lions: 4-12

This is the end of the post for today. 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...
