In case you didn't read it elsewhere, the New England Patriots—whom you might recall I correctly predicted to win the Super Bowl last year—are being picked by essentially everybody to repeat as champions. So they would seem to be the obvious choice to go with this year for me. But fuck that. We gotta have some kind of surprise.
I think the Patriots will win the AFC East yet again, with your other division winners being the Steelers, Titans, Chiefs, Cowboys, Packers, Buccaneers, and Seahawks. Your wild card teams will be, oh, let us go with the Raiders, Chargers, Giants, and Panthers. I'll go with New England going 16-0 in the regular season and beating the Steelers yet again in the AFC Championship before going on to lose yet another Super Bowl to the New York Giants, who will once again beat the Packers in another NFC Championship.
Sure, it's probably unlikely, but we need to end this Boston championship madness.
