Here’s a wrap up of our divisional previews with playoff picks.

NFC NORTH

Green Bay Packers (11-5)

The Packers lost the division to the Vikings last year in the last game of the season. The Vikings will be good again this year, but the Packers are the team to beat and here’s why.

Jordy Nelson is back. Without Nelson, Aaron Rodgers was not the same quarterback in 2015. Combine that with a struggling Eddie Lacy and virtually no receiver stepping up to the plate in Nelson’s absence and it’s a miracle they made the playoffs at all last year.

As long as Green Bay can figure out its running game, expect big things from its offense. Furthermore, its defense was ranked in the top 12 of the NFL last year in points allowed. This is a team that can make a Super Bowl run if everything comes together.

Minnesota Vikings (10-6)

The Vikings thrived in 2015. This was largely because their new franchise quarterback finally figured out how to win games- give the ball to Adrian Peterson. This was essentially the entire strategy in Minnesota and theres no reason to think they won’t do it again this year. Bridgewater is a good quarterback but he really thrived when Peterson returned. While AP is getting old for an NFL running back- especially one with his mileage- he still led the league (by a mile) in carries last year with 327.

Expect Minnesota to keep feeding the ball to Adrian Peterson until his legs literally fall off. And expect that to work.

Detroit Lions (6-10)

Calvin Johnson retiring, which is just about the saddest football sentence ever, will leave a huge void in the Detroit Lions’ offense. I’m not convinced that Marvin Jones will be able to come anywhere close to filling Megatron’s shoes. I do, however, love the idea of Anquan Boldin running as their number 3 receiver. He’s a beefy strong receiver who never got the praise he deserved in San Francisco if you ask me.

Matthew Stafford had flashes of brilliance last year and can hopefully keep it going with his new receivers. Ameer Abdullah turned out to be an absolute letdown, however, and will need to rebound this year if the Lions are to have a strong offense.

All-in-all the Lions will probably need a season or two before they’re ready to take on this division. It seems hard to imagine any scenario where this Lions team could beat the team in Green Bay right now.

Chicago Bears (4-12)

The Bears didn’t have the courage to fire the most overpaid quarterback in football last year and they’re not going to do it again this year. With that in mind, expect lots of interceptions, a few touchdown passes, and overall offensive ineptitude. Chicago began selling off anyone it could get rid of at the end of last season and is in total rebuild mode. They have a young new running back who was mildly ineffective for his workload last year, but could easily improve in 2016 given the opportunities we expect him to get. The Bears also have a lot to be excited about in the receiving duo of Alshon Jeffrey and Kevin White. I’m going to point out, however, that the Bears couldn’t win with Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall and that was when they also had Matt Forte so I don’t expect a rookie wideout to make too significant of an impact on this offense. No matter how fast you are or how great your hands are, Jay Cutler is still going to throw 15-20 of the passes meant for you straight to the defensive back guarding you.

NFC SOUTH

Carolina Panthers (11-5)

I actually hate the Carolina Panthers. However, they proved last year that they are no longer an ignorable piece of mediocrity in a struggling division. In 2015 the Panthers dominated both sides of the ball never-before-seen fashion- and they did it without their star wideout.

Kelvin Benjamin is back this year and there’s no reason to expect anything less than greatness from him. He was an absolute monster in 2014 and Cam Newton has improved tremendously since then. With Funchess, Ginn, and Brown all battling for the second starting job, and one of the NFL’s best tight ends, Greg Olsen, the Panthers will have an all-star lineup of receivers this year. Furthermore, the aging Jonathan Stewart showed no signs of slowing down last year as he was one of the league’s most productive backs. The Panthers will have a truly balanced offense.

Add that to one of the best defenses in football and you have a Super Bowl contender. I do, however, expect the Panthers to regress this year- not for a lack of talent, but I see the NFC South as an improving division and the Panthers’ sheer dominance in 2015 as a little bit flukey.

Atlanta Falcons (9-7)

I think I’ve picked the Falcons to win this division (incorrectly) for the last three years in a row. Last year they were the heartbreak story of this division when they absolutely collapsed after going 5-0  and went on to a mediocre 8-8 season.

With that said, the Falcons are every bit the team I have picked the last three years and more. There’s no reason why this team can’t be a playoff contender but for the fact that they just can’t seem to sustain success. They have an all star offense with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman and the newly added Mohamed Sanu. Their defense has always plagued them but last year showed flashes of brilliance. They’ve made tremendous strides towards bolstering their defense in the hiring of Dan Quinn to the head coaching position and the draft selections and free agent acquisitions made over the last two years.

I want to see this team succeed, but every year they fall apart. Perhaps this will be the year, but Carolina will be tough to beat.

New Orleans Saints (7-9)

The Saints have been terrible for a long time and theres no reason to expect that to change this year. The main reason for this is that they basically have the world’s worst defense. Adding to that, they traded away the league’s best tight end for a center and haven’t had a respectable offense since. With that said, here are some things the Saints are doing right:

First, they fired Rob Ryan last year which was long overdue. Second, they are developing a core group of receivers to fill a huge void. Brandin Cooks is talented and fan-favorite, Willie Snead, really came to life in the second half of 2015. Finally, adding Colby Fleener is a great move to try and fill the void left by Jimmy Graham and more recently Ben Watson. Fleecer is an experienced athletic tight end who was underutilized with the Colts. In the Saints’ offense, he could double his production from 2015.

All in all, expect something just a shade shy of mediocrity from the Saints. They are a developing offense and a dysfunctional defense coupled with a distinct inability to win on the road. However, they can be, uncharacteristically, one of the toughest teams to beat when playing in New Orleans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-11)

The Bucs are a young, developing team that has the potential to win this division- in two or three years. For now, expect them to remain generally clueless as they were last season. Here’s the good and the bad.

Jameis Winston is a franchise quarterback in the making. I said “in the making.”

He’s far from there. Mike Evans is the best wide receiver in the history of football to have dropped as many passes as he has. However, its kind of hard to complain too much when he goes 10 for 18 with 175 yards and two touchdowns. Vincent Jackson is an ideal veteran to complement him.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins is a guy who shows tremendous potential but can’t seem to stay healthy and is generally struggling in this offense. He’s currently listed as second on the depth chart to…Cameron Brate- the second-year undrafted free agent from Harvard.

Doug Martin was absolutely brilliant last year. However, he’s inconsistent at best and it isn’t unreasonable to expect something closer to mediocrity from him this year. I personally think the Bucs should have let him go and developed his backup and pass-catching specialist, Charles Sims, who does more with 50 touches than a lot of backs do with 150. Instead, they shelled out a ton of money and kept them both. I think it may be a decision they come to regret.

Finally, the Bucs defense is a work-in-progress to say the least. It’s developing, but I don’t think its quite “there” yet.

Expect the Bucs to continue to be dominated by its division rivals but steal a few wins here and there throughout the season.

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals (13-3)

The Cardinals were absolute monsters last year and we see no reason why that should change in 2016. For starters, they posses a top-10 defense that allowed just 19.6 points per game last year. Next they have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL that averaged over 30 points a game last year. Second-year veteran RB, David Johnson, showed a lot of promise when he was given the opportunity after injuries to both Andre Ellington and Chris Johnson. This year he’s slated to be one of the most productive running backs in the league.

With a rock solid running game, Carson Palmer will be able to shine once again. Veteran rock-star wideout, Larry Fitzgerald, had a monster year in 2015 and is poised for a repeat. Also look for strong showings from the rest the WRs as Michael Floyd and John Brown are imposing offensive weapons.

Playing well on both sides of the ball is something most other NFL teams struggle to do and the Cardinals do it better than anyone else.

If this post were about Super Bowl picks, the Cardinals would be it. Even though it isn’t, were still going to take the time to let you know that despite their loss to the Panthers last year in the NFL championship, the Cardinals are the team to beat in 2016.

Seattle Seahawks (10-6)

The Seahawks began 2015 with a rough start and played uncharacteristically poorly their first 6 games. They rebounded and managed to sneak into the playoffs by going 8-2 in their remaining 10 to finish at 10-6. That’s where were slating them this year and for a couple reasons.

Marshawn Lynch is gone. Jimmy Graham is an immensely talented force that Pete Carrol is using as a decoy. Who knows what Thomas Rawls will do. Christine Michael is somehow looking like he’ll be part of their offense. Doug Baldwin is a mediocre receiver who had an amazing year last year and will probably regress towards the mean this year.

With all these questions lingering about Seattle’s offense, two things remain. First, Seattle does not lose at home. There is no harder place in America for a sports team to win on the road than Centurylink Field. Second, Seattle has one of the best defenses in football and thats not going to change. Two of the last 3 superbowls have been won by teams with mediocre offenses and rock-solid defenses (Seattle included).

I don’t think the Seahawks will be a Super Bowl contender this year because I don’t think they can win the division and secure home-field advantage. However, I do think that the Seahawks will remain competitive no matter what.

LA Rams (8-8)

The Rams are a team that oozes mediocrity so an 8-8 record suits them perfectly. The only way the Rams are going to be able to win games is if their defense can keep the score low enough for the offense to give the ball to Todd Gurley every play. If that doesn’t happen, I’m not sure there’s a soul in Los Angeles (or St. Louis for that matter) who trusts Case Keenum throwing the ball to Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt.

I think the Rams will win 2 or 3 games against absolutely terrible opponents and then Todd Gurley will rush for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns for them to win another 4 or 5.

San Francisco 49ers (4-12)

The 49ers have possibly the worst offense in football. Colin Karpernick is all of a sudden terrible. Their best wide receiver who was famously called “mediocre” by Richard Sherman is now in Oakland and playing better than he ever did in San Fran. Carlos Hyde was abysmal last year and gives us no reason to expect anything different in 2016.

So, heres to Blaine Gabbert throwing for 2500 yards to Torrey Smith and…Quenton Patton…Bruce Ellington?

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys (12-4)

Expect a huge turnaround for the Cowboys this year from their 4-12 season in 2015. We’re predicting they bounce back and take the division for essentially 4 reasons.

First, the Cowboys had a surprisingly competent defense last year (1st in the division in points allowed) and there’s little reason to expect a regression this year.

Second, Ezekiel Elliot is slated to jump into the role of a workhorse back and he’s exactly what the Cowboys need. Last year Dallas struggled running the ball and couldn’t find a RB they liked. Over the course of the season, we saw the starting job in the hands of Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, and even Christine Michael. Despite having the best offensive line in football, the Cowboys struggled to find momentum in the ground game. Elliot is primed to change that dramatically.

Third, Dez Bryant is completely healthy. Dez Bryant IS the Cowboys receiving game. Everyone knows it and still nobody can stop him- at least when he’s healthy. Dez was injured throughout most of last years season and wasn’t playing at the top of his game when he was healthy-ish. After much needed rest and recovery during the offseason, we expect Dez to bounce back to full form this year. Furthermore he has the added help of our fourth reason for Cowboy’s success.

Fourth, Tony Romo. As much as I sometimes love to hate Tony Romo, the Cowboys are a train wreck without him. They have almost no depth at the QB position and nobody is capable of running this offense like Romo. Since he spent almost the entire 2015 season injured. His return is huge for Dallas.

If the Cowboys can repeat their solid defensive performance of 2015, their high-powered offense will lead them to the top of this division easily.

New York Giants (9-7)

The Giants are an offensive powerhouse backed by one of the worst defenses in football. Not much has changed for the Giants this offseason except for the fact that Rashad Jennings is a year older and probably just as mediocre. Expect third-down superstar, Shane Vereen, to account for the majority of the Giants RB production this year. For a team that has no trouble passing the ball but can’t seem to stop other teams from scoring on them, we’re not sure what they were doing by drafting WR Sterling Shepard in the 2nd round.

We expect the Giants to be every bit the offensive powerhouse they were last year along with every bit the defensive mess they were as well. Look for them to live and die by shootouts.

Philadelphia Eagles (5-11)

The Eagles are a team that just can’t seem to figure out why they’re bad. Last year they picked up superstar RB Demarco Murray for about a billion dollars and then decided to keep him on the bench. That worked out okay because they realized they have some real talent in Ryan Matthews who is slated to be the feature back in Phili this year.

However, they have a defense that managed to outperform only the Saints and the Giants last year and they still have an offense led by Sam Bradford.

This year the Eagles can only improve, but were predicting those improvements will be tempered by the low ceiling on Phili’s defensive and QB production.

AFC NORTH

Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)

Last year the Bengals won the division at 12-4 and then lost the wild card round (like they have the last 5 years in a row) to the Steelers. Pittsburgh made the playoffs thanks to a late run and only missed the division due to a string of what should have been devastating injuries. Big Ben was out for a good bit of the season, Leveon Bell was out for most of the season, and Antonio Brown was playing hurt for a decent bit.

If we accept the fact that the Steelers probably won’t see their three best players out of commission again this season, one only wonders if they will lose ANY games. Big Ben and Antonio Brown are virtually unstoppable. Leveon Bell is arguably the best all-purpose running back in football and his backup, Deangelo Williams, is a better back than half the starters in the league. So, Steelers fans should feel comfortable with the ball in Williams’ hands for the first four weeks while Bell is suspended.

The point is that when Pittsburgh is healthy, it is an entirely different team. This year we’re banking on a Steelers team playing the best football its played in years.

Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)

The Bengals and their fans are plagued by both the expectancy that Cinci will make the playoffs every year but that they will not get past game one. This year I predict that they will not only not win the division but they will miss the playoffs entirely.

The Bengals are a solid all around team that screams mediocrity. They have a good defense. Having a good defense is important- it won a Super Bowl for Denver. However, it doesn’t seem to be enough for Cinci.

Offensively, they struggle with even the superest of superstars. Andy Dalton has flashes of brilliance coupled with moments of absolute ineptitude. They have the best running back platoon in the NFL in Jeremy Hill and Giovanni Bernard but can’t seem to do anything with them. They have one of the best receivers in the NFL in A.J. Green but without a solid number two (Sanu’s movement to Atlanta) I’m afraid the offense will become polarized and defenses will shut Green down. They have an excellent young TE but Dalton will only throw him the ball in the end zone.

In summary, the Bengals have all the cogs of an efficient offense but they don’t seem to be arranged in the right way. I would love to see the Bengals succeed. I just don’t think they will be able to do it if they don’t make some changes.

Baltimore Ravens (5-11)

The Baltimore Ravens have the absolute worst defense in football. That matters most because they also have one of the worst offenses in football. Flacco is an aging mediocre quarterback who lacks targets and their running game is virtually non-existent.

Expect nothing from the Ravens and be pleasantly surprised when they win a couple games.

Cleveland Browns (3-13)

The Cleveland Browns’ franchise quarterback is currently on a cocaine binge in Mexico and not in the NFL anymore.

Here are summaries of Cleveland’s most talented skill players:

A middle-aged quarterback who has spent his life as a backup with the exception of finding starting gigs for teams with no other options is fighting for the starting job with a former one-season superstar who then lost his job the next year to Kirk Cousins and has been on the bench since.

A former mediocre quarterback for the Raiders who couldn’t hack it re-emerges as a starting wide receiver.

A running back who averaged 3.8 YPC on 185 attempts for 706 yards and 4 touchdowns and another running back who couldn’t play well enough to win the starting job from the first guy.

This team is going nowhere.

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans: (10-6)

The Texans have been a breakout candidate for years now. They’ve had a stout defense and have developed some strong offensive weapons in the past year. Finally, their offseason moves have been impeccable. First, they may have finally filled the devastating void in the quarterback position that has plagued their offense for the last 5 years by stealing Brock Osweiler from Denver. Osweiler is young and inexperienced but, in the eyes of many, outplayed Peyton Manning last year when he was given the chance. Osweiler is far from a sure-bet, but he gives a breath of hope to a team whose only franchise quarterbacks have been Matt Shaub and David Carr.

The Texans have also replaced Arian Foster with Miami’s Lamar Miller. Miller was productive despite being seriously underused in Miami. For a guy with over 1,000 total yards and 10 tds on 12.1 carries a game last year, it’ll be interesting to see what he does with the 20 carries a game he’ll likely get in Houston.

With a solid defense, and the potential for an explosive offense in the hands of Osweiler, Hopkins, and Miller, Houston is primed for a breakout season.

Indianapolis Colts (9-7)

Andrew Luck will be back and hopefully healthier than ever. He will probably throw for 5,000 yards, but he will probably also miss the playoffs. Here’s why.

The Colts are considered a high powered offense because they have one of the best quarterbacks in Luck and one of the best receivers in T.Y. Hilton. But, their offense is also one dimensional. They have almost no running game. Frank Gore Averaged 3.7 yards a carry last year- at the age of 32- and he didn’t get any younger in the offseason. The odds of Frank Gore breaking a hip in week 3 of the preseason are better than him breaking 1000 yards rushing in 2016. With Robert Turbin as the number 2, expect rookie, Josh Ferguson, to climb his way to the top of the depth chart before week 10.

The Colts are not only a one-dimensional team offensively, they’re a 0-dimensional team defensively. They are virtually incapable of stopping opposing teams from scoring and therefore rely too heavily on their offense to book wins. So, Andrew Luck will throw 5,000 yards- 2,000 of which is in garbage time- and the Colts will win some games 37-36 etc, but their terrible defense will also keep them from winning some.

Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9)

Jacksonville is going to be one of my favorite teams to watch in the NFL- but probably not this year. They are a young team that is loaded with talent but absolutely desolate in terms of experience. Blake Bortles is getting better and better- and it helps to have one of the best receiving duos in football. The Allens (Robinson and Hurns) are both insanely good and will be good for a long time. The Jaguars even had a solid RB core in the capable rookie, TJ Yeldon, and productive veteran, Denard Robinson. The decision to bring in Chris Ivory confuses me as it seems like he’s not needed. The problem with Jacksonville’s running game wasn’t its running backs- it was that Jacksonville was always playing from behind and was throwing the ball basically the entire second half in most games. Usage- due to game flow- not talent – is what plagues Jax’s backfield. With that said, Chris Ivory is an absolute monster and he’s not going to do anything to hurt Jacksonville’s offense.

If Jacksonville can find a way to get their running game going and figure out how they want to use Julius Thomas, they’re going to win some games. However, I’m not sure they’re going to do that. Plus they still need to figure out how to play defense if they ever want to be a contender in this division.

Tennessee Titans (4-12)

The Titans had a rotating backfield of three mediocre-to-garbage running backs last year. They sought to fix that with the addition of underused stud Demarco Murray. Since the Titans receiving corps is currently lead by Rishard Matthews, expect Demarco to immediately jump into a heavy workload both running and receiving the football.

However, a stud veteran RB and a blossoming 2nd year qb will not be enough to get this team going. Expect them to struggle on both sides of the ball and to lose a lot of games.

AFC WEST

Oakland Raiders (11-5)

This is, admittedly, a borderline absurdly bold prediction. One of the worst teams in the NFL two years ago overtaking the reigning Super Bowl champs for the division? But, there’s just so much to love about this Oakland Raiders team and so much to hate about the rest of the teams in this division.

First, Derek Carr is more than an acceptable quarterback. He has grown into a dominant force and leader. Last year’s additions of wideouts Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree really let Carr shine. Speaking of Michael Crabtree, he put up HUGE numbers for a so-called “mediocre” receiver. I expect to see even more of Cooper who had a solid rookie year but failed to perform at the utterly dominant level he did in college- and to that note the level a lot of folks expected from him. I think we see a similar rise in production from the already outstanding Latavius Murray. Murray had a great start to last year’s season but his production fell off in the second half. All indications point to Murray being the workhorse back in Oakland and we expect big things from him.

Oakland has all the makings of a powerful offense but struggled defensively last year. If Oakland can tighten up it’s defense then it will be a surefire playoff contender. For that matter, the Broncos showed three years ago that you don’t need a defense to get to the super bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)

The Chiefs are probably the smarter pick to win this division. They’ve got an experienced and talented quarterback, a legendary running back, a stud tight end, a newly-explosive wideout and a brick-wall for a defense. That sounds like all the makings of a Super Bowl contender, right? Wrong. Here’s why I don’t like the Chiefs.

Aside from the brick wall of a defense, which I will admit is an asset that is worth its weight in super bowl trophies these days, the Chiefs offense is not as darling as it seems on paper. First of all, their experienced and talented quarterback is more experienced than talented. Their legendary running back is older than Stephen Jackson and coming off a torn ACL. Admittedly there’s nothing wrong with Travis Kelce except that Alex Smith never wants to throw him the ball. And if you want to put your entire receiving game in the hands of Jeremy Maclin you’re insane- I don’t care what his numbers were last year.

I think the Chiefs have a lot of good things going on, but I’m not going to bet the farm on them. I have them at 10 and 6 but I think we’ll either see them go 12 and 4 or 4 and 12.

Denver Broncos (9-7)

The reigning Super Bowl champs going third in their division? What? Yes, because that’s what happens when you lose your hall of fame quarterback and his talented understudy in the same offseason and now you have Mark the king of commanding bad teams Sanchez under center because there was nobody left in free agency. But they’re a running team right? Two mediocre backs don’t equal one good one. CJ Anderson and Ronnie Hillman are not going to win any superbowls for Denver.

But what about their defense? The Chiefs have a good defense and a bad quarterback- expect similar results. I’m not saying there’s no way the Broncos make the playoffs because I can see their defense easily winning 5 games for them. But I am saying that Mark Sanchez can’t throw the ball far enough to reach Emmanuel Sanders and opposing defenses are going to shut down Demarius Thomas once they realize he’s the Bronco’s only passing option.

Who knows though? Maybe Paxton Lynch emerges as a rookie sensation- thats kind of what the Broncos are banking on right? And maybe CJ Anderson starts playing the way he did in 2014 that was so fun to watch. I would LOVE for that to happen. But I don’t think it will.

San Diego Chargers (5-11)

Compared to last year, 5 wins is an improvement. The Chargers need to do a few things before they can be anything but an afterthought in the AFC west. First they need to keep Keenan Allen healthy and find a receiver to compliment him. They may have done this with the acquisition of speedster and deep threat Travis Benjamin. Johnny Manziel loved throwing him 70 yard touchdown passes  in the 3 or 4 games he was an NFL quarterback. The point is, Benjamin is an asset if Rivers is willing to use him. Second, Melvin Gordon needs to stop being so bad. I’m not really sure what it is about him that is so bad, but he really is terrible. The point is that you can’t rely on a 5’5, 120 lb man that looks like an actual leprechaun as your workhorse back in the NFL. With that said, if Rivers can find ways to get the ball into Antonio Gates’s hands more often and the Chargers’ defense can step up to the plate a little bit, this team might be able to find its way to .500. I just don’t see all of that happening this year.

New England Patriots (12-4)

The Patriots will be without their beloved Tom Brady for the first four games of the season. However, even with Garroppolo behind the center, the Pats should easily be able to go 2-2 if not 3-1 with the Cardinals in week 1 representing their only likely loss. If last year was any lesson, Tom Brady with something to prove is a force to be reckoned with. Expect a huge winning streak to begin in game 5.

With a deep backfield, wideout talent in Amendola and Edelman, Gronk and the addition of Martellus Bennet creating two star-level receiving threats at the TE position expect an offense that is no less explosive and dominant than last year- especially once Brady is back in the lineup.

New York Jets (10-6)

The New York Jets would be a favorite to win in many other divisions but for their misfortune of having to compete against New England. With that said, they will be a heavy contender for an AFC wild card spot this year. The additions of Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker were nothing short of genius last year and the dynamic duo is slated for even more action in 2016.

The loss of RB stud Chris Ivory to Jacksonville shouldn’t pose any problems as NY replaced him with the more-than-capable Matt Forte. If Forte is able to stay healthy, he should be a huge asset to the already pass-heavy offense with his ability to both run and receive out of the backfield.

The Fitzpatrick/Geno Smith battle will be interesting to watch unfold. However, Fitzpatrick was excellent last year and the starting job should be his to lose.

Furthermore, the Jets defense gave up an impressive 19.7 points a game last year. If the Jets are able to stay healthy they will likely dominate both sides of the ball. With many of its stars entering the twilight of their careers, this may be the Jets last chance for a true push for the next few years.

Buffalo Bills (8-8)

The Bills are improving and have done some really great things in the offseason such as draft picks to highlight what will likely be an impressive Rex Ryan defense. However, we still see this team as young and underdeveloped as a whole. Tyrod Taylor had flashes of brilliance last year and will hopefully continue to surprise audiences. Furthermore, Lesean McCoy was able to truly flourish in the second half of the season.

While the Bills have made greats strides in the right direction, in our eyes they’re still in an awkward limbo-like place in their division where they’re not as good as the Jets or the Pats but probably not quite as bad as the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins (6-10)

The Dolphins are a weird team that is stacked full of young talent but just can’t seem to piece it together and win. Ryan Tannehill, last years pre-season fantasy football darling, failed to live up to the hype that surrounded him and finished with a mediocre season at best. With a talented young QB like Tannehill and offensive weapons like Jarvis Landry, DeVante parker, Jordon Cameron, and newly promoted Jay Ajayi, the Dolphins have all the making of a team that can win games. However, a poor defense and a tough schedule coupled with uncertainty in its younger players will likely keep the Dolphins at the botton of the AFC East for at least another year.
