Best Picks of Draft Day 2!

Hi, sadly there is already only 1 day left in this years draft weekend but today were rounds 2-3 where some exciting talents came to find their new teams. I'm going to talk about the best picks of the night:

Cardinals take S Budda Baker 36th overall:
This was a great pick. The Cards could use a young safety who will maybe start. Baker is a great player who made so many exciting plays during this past season at Washington. As a Washington fan, I watched him grow over the season and he's become a very hard hitter with great upside and I think he could turn into something special in Arizona. GRADE: B+

Jaguars take OT Cam Robinson 34th overall:
I was at first upset by this pick because personally I thought the Seahawks were gonna take him but then I realized there was nothing I could do about it so I realized how good this would be for the Jags. He can really help at O-line and he will help block for new RB Leonard Fournette. I can see Robinson becoming an elite O-lineman and one of the biggest steals in this draft. GRADE: B

Bills take WR Zay Jones 37th overall:
This will end up being a steal. The Bills traded down in round 1 because they didn't see anyone of need and their most needy position in my opinion (WR) all the elite ones were taken. But, Zay Jones was as close to elite as it gets and the team made sure to come back and get him round 2. Jones was a most this past season and looks like he could be a big weapon for learning QB Tyrod Taylor. GRADE: A-

Bengals take RB Joe Mixon 48th overall:
This was the most exciting pick of the night. The most controverstial player in the draft, Joe Mixon was thought to maybe not even get picked after his huge mistake years ago where he punched a girl so hard and broke bones in her face. He was apparently only being considered to be drafted by a few teams and minus that major slip-up, Mixon would have been a first round pick as he is an elite running back. The Bengals were one of the teams that believed in Mixon and hopefully he is good for them because he may become an elite running back in this league. GRADE: B+

Browns take QB DeShone Kizer 52nd overall:
This was another huge pick on the night. The last elite/close to elite QB left in the draft kept slipping down boards due to some of his throwing issues but finally the QB-needy Browns gave in on the first round talent and took the QB who could possibly be their future. Everyone says he won't be good this year because he needs to develope but he honestly may be their best option and if he learns he could maybe be the QB that finally ends the Browns 18+ year drought of not getting any good QBs. I'm excited! GRADE: A

Ravens take LB Tim Williams 78th overall:
This was the biggest steal of the night. A first round/top 32 talent fell all the way to 78 where the Ravens stole him. P.S. the Ravens had the best night of any team tonight stealing many fallen star players and turning them into STEALS! Williams could have been a mid first round pick but instead the Ravens got the star LB in the 3rd round!!!! Great pickup. GRADE: A-

Giants take QB Davis Webb 87th overall:
This is a future pick. The Giants are looking for Eli Manning's successor and they may have found him. He has looked amazing and learning for a few years, behind one of the best QBs of the last decade will be amazing for him. I think he will learn well and either be the Giants answer for the future or stay a backup for a long time in New York, develope, and then maybe leave for another team to be a starter. Sorta like Jimmy Garopollo should. This is a great pick all around. GRADE: A

Eagles take CB Sidney Jones 43rd overall:
This was another steal that will end up being a great pick. Jones was considered a top 2 corner in the entire draft, some had him the best corner in the draft, but a pro day injury lead to a major fall in his draft stock but there is a huge chance he will play this season and even if its just a little, he has years and years to play and he will be an elite corner once he finally plays. Also Jones will likely walk right into the CB1 job. This was a hell of a pick for the CB needy Eagles. GRADE: A

Thanks for reading. Here are some of the best prospects still avaliable:
KD Cannon WR/Baylor, Dede Westbrook WR/Oklahoma, Nathan Peterman QB/Pitt, Brad Kaaya QB/Miami, Jake Butt TE/Michigan, Corn Elder CB/Miami, Desmond King S/Iowa, Caleb Brantley DT/Florida, Jaleel Johnson DT/Iowa, Jordan Leggett TE/Clemson, Zane Gonzales K/Arizona St.

Thanks again and tomorrow is already the last day of the draft :( I will have lots of draft review posts coming soon though!

Best Picks of Rd. 1!

Hi, the first round of this years draft was as exciting as ever with many stunning moves that made people go crazy. I'm here to talk about the best picks of the most important night of the off-season (I'm not including DE Myles Garrett because the no. 1 overall is a no brainer good pick most of the time):

Texans select QB Deshaun Watson 12th overall:
This is going to be a major win for the Texans. Somehow they got in my opinion the best QB in the draft later than 2 other of the QBs and he will be great. He can easily beat out Tom Savage in training camp and become the teams starter for week 1. He looks great and I think the Texans are a good fit for his talents. He will have young receivers to throw to with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. If this team get some more o-lineman and maybe another tight end in the rest of the draft the Texans could be a real contender with Watson at the helm of the team. GRADE: A-

Panthers select RB Christian McCaffrey 8th overall:
I was so excited when I heard the commish announce the Stanford product was drafted to the Panthers. This is a great fit. He could probably start at RB but maybe not yet because Jonathan Stewart may have some gas left in the tank but there is also a good chance of him starting. He can catch passes very very well like a receiver and he is the best juker I've ever seen. McCaffrey will be one of the best RBs in football with this team. GRADE: A

Jaguars select RB Leonard Fournette 4th overall:
I was excited for this one. Fournette will be a top tier elite RB from day 1 in this league. His rare combination of size and speed gives him an advantage over defenders and I could see him having an insane season maybe even rookie of the year. Fournette will help take pressure off struggling QB Blake Bortles and I think he could challenge Zeke, Le'Veon Bell, and David Johnson for the title of best RB in the league. He will also be a big fantasy player. GRADE: A

Buccaneers select TE O.J. Howard 19th overall:
I feel bad for OJ. He deserved a top 10 selection but somehow fell down. Still he lands in a very powerful young offense that is pass first and I think he will thrive. Jameis Winston has developed into a great passer and I think Howard is the future of this team in pass catching. A big 3 in Tampa will be assembled for years to come: Jameis Winston, WR Mike Evans, and OJ Howard. The Bucs got SOOO lucky that this amazing talent was open at 19. GRADE: A

Saints select CB Marshon Lattimore 11th overall:
This was quite the pick. Lattimore was slated to become a top 5 pick but with a bunch of trades and great players falling, Lattimore was still open at 11 and the Saints did what they had to do and addressed their biggest need. Lattimore is one of the best playmakers in the draft and already is a CB1. He is one of the most exciting CBs coming out of college I have seen. This is a home run pick. GRADE: B+

Redskins select DE Jonathan Allen 17th overall:
This was a STEAL! The top 10 projected player fell to 17 due to bigger talents still there. Allen must have been also as surprised as I was but at 17 he couldn't fall any farther. The Redskins stole a player that has potential to be the defensive rookie of the year. He and Myles Garrett are the best DE's in the draft (also Soloman Thomas), those 2 made it in the top 3 but somehow Allen fell to 17. Whatever Jonathan, shake it off and tear up all the teams that didn't pick you. Starting with the Bengals who shocked the world and took speedster John Ross over Allen. GRADE: B-

Steelers select LB T.J. Watt 30th overall:
This was a great pick. Everyone was on there feet because it was such a fun one. J.J. Watt's younger brother T.J. to the Steelers where he will thrive in a great LB core. Everyone is excited and the Steelers have gotten a STEEL. Even more fun: Christmas Day 2017, Texans Vs. Steelers. Watt v Watt 1.0. This will be a fun rivalry especially because TJ has potential to be as elite as JJ. GRADE: B

Browns select S/LB Jabrill Peppers 25th overall:
This was a heck of a steal for the Browns who had THREE first round picks! I felt like they should have drafted a QB here like DeShone Kizer but when I heard who the pick was I wasn't actually sad for them because Peppers is a great S. This will end up being one of the best steals in the draft with Peppers because he will start and I bet he will become elite in this fast growing young Browns D. GRADE: B+

Bengals select WR John Ross 9th overall:
I was so surprised when I heard my man get drafted this early. I was for sure that the Bengals were gonna take Jonathan Allen and so when I heard John at the start I thought the commish would keep going and say Jon-athan but he said Ross instead. Anyway, this is a great pick here because he and A.J. Green along with Tyler Eifert will be a great pass catching trio for Andy Dalton who has been struggling a bit lately. Ross is the speediest player coming out of college we have seen (he is the 40 yard dash king) and I can't wait to see him expose people in this league. GRADE: A-

49ers select LB Rueben Foster 31st overall:
This was the biggest steal of the night. Just because Rueben Foster failed some drug test everyone got very nervous and he fell from a top 10 pick to 31! Thats crazy! But the 49ers traded back into the first round and got a huge steal because Foster could have been taken by pick 11 (Saints). Foster will be an elite player in the league and all the teams will be sad to realize that they didn't take him while he will be thriving with San Fran. GRADE: A+

Thanks for reading and I will also have a worst picks of the first round post coming up. I may start doing more than 1 post a day due to all the excitement.

Beast Mode's Journey to Becoming a Raider!

Hi, a big headline surfaced today and I'm here to talk about it. Some quick news that I edited my mock draft from yesterday and if you look back at it, it was my post from yesterday and I have made a few changes. Here it is:

"Nope I'm never coming back, how many times do you want me to say it. Which camera do you want me to look at", said Marshawn Lynch weeks after retiring from football a season ago. The Super Bowl champ and 5 time pro bowler had just retired after an injury prone, worthless 2015 season and was assuring the world that he was never coming back. The rumors started about a year ago right after Lynch retired, people would ask if he would come back to play for his hometown Oakland Raiders. Marshawn answered again and again, "I'm not coming back".
1 year later: People close to Marshawn Lynch began resurfacing the rumors by saying Lynch was eyeing a possible return to football to play for his hometown Oakland Raiders. The quiet rumors started getting louder as there became more and more reports of Lynch coming back. Finally Marshawn Lynch himself spoke out and assured people that the rumors were true, he was eyeing a comeback because he actually wasn't done with football, he missed it.
Early April: Marshawn Lynch visited the Raiders facilities to check it out and by the time he was done he told several staff members that intended to un-retire. Everyone knew that was the start of something that could really happen but there were still some big hurdles he had to jump over. He would have to officially un-retire, get the Seahawks who still owned his rights to trade him to the Raiders, he would have to pass his physical test, finally he could then sign a deal with the RB-needy Raiders. Everyone was excited to see what would happen.
Earlier this week: The Oakland Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks still hadn't agreed on a deal that made both sides happy and no one knew if Lynch was actually completely serious about coming back. The Oakland Raiders told Marshawn Lynch that the draft was pretty much the deadline for his important decision. No one knew what would happen in seemed 50/50 at this point
PRESENT DAY, APRIL 26TH: Everything clicked. The Seahawks and Raiders agreed on a trade to send Marshawn Lynch to Oakland in exchange for a 6th round pick from next year for Seattle. I've heard the Seahawks wanted to trade 1st round picks from this year which would mean the Hawks would move up from their current 26th to 24 where the Raiders are but with the draft so near apparently the Raiders shut down that deal. After the deal was through Lynch took his physical and passed and then rushed to the Raiders facility to sign his long awaited deal with the team. A 1 year deal that gives him at least 2 million dollars with a chance to get a bonus couple million dollars for having an 1000 yard season. Marshawn Lynch is officially an Oakland Raider and before I end the post, I'm going to talk about what I think this offense will become with the 31 year old, 5 time pro bowl RB in silver and black.
The Raiders offense will likely have a shot at the best offense in the league. They will now have a very legit chance of knocking the Patriots off in the playoffs and will have a chance to do so in week 11 already in the regular season where top playoff seeding could be decided. Think about how scary this offense is. A top O-line. A young QB coming off an MVP candidate season. An elite receiving core with Michael Crabtree, Amari Cooper, Cordarelle Patterson, and Jared Cook. In the backfield BEAST MODE who will barrel through defenses like he did just about 2 years ago. I can see the Raiders as serious contenders for next season and this addition of Beast Mode makes them also the most exciting offense. Can Lynch get 1000 yards, a pro bowl, another Super Bowl ring? All seem possible with his young new team! We will see.

Thanks for reading, this is a very exciting move just before the draft kicks off tomorrow night at 8 E.T.. Make sure to watch, I will! Also for draft day after all the picks are made I will be making a post for a summary of the first round so if you miss you can come and look. Then I will also make a best picks of the first round post! I'm so excited! Photo Cred: Reddit

PRE-DRAFT MOCK DRAFT!

Hi, unless there is a huge draft trade in the next few days, the draft begins in 2 short days and so this is likely my final mock draft before the draft! Some quick news that its official that the Saints and Adrian Peterson have signed! Its a 2 year, 7 million dollar deal! Here it is:

1. Browns: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M:

There could be an argument for a QB here but the Browns need talent and Garrett is no question the top player in the draft, he's to good to pass on here.


2. 49ers: Soloman Thomas, DE, Stanford:

Another pick where you take the best player on the board vs your top need. The Niners do need a QB badly but Brian Hoyer is good enough to play 1 year and Thomas is a versatile first step player that could guide this flailing defense.


3. Bears: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State:

Jamal Adams would also be a nice pick but I think corners are more important than safeties and the Bears have all busts at corners. Lattimore is un-questioned the best corner in the draft and the only one I would call ELITE, taking the future lockdown corner here is a good selection. I would take Lattimore every day of the week if I were the Bears.


4. Jaguars: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU:

Fournette is going to be an elite running back. He has the rare but amazing build of the perfect size and speed which will make him hard to take down. The Jags have a great o-line and they have gone big on defense so its time to get this failing offense an elite player. The best running back in the league was taken at 4 last year, could it happen again?


5. Titans: Jamal Adams, S, LSU:
Adams could have gone as high as 2 but the Titans are reluctant to see the elite player open at their 5 overall pick. Adams has improved every year of his college career and he looks like he could play as well as some of the best safeties in the league, the team would love an athletic safety.


6. Jets: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson:

The Jets can't ignore this, sure there are some really good players on the board but they have to face the fact that they NEED a QB and they won't get any better if they don't get someone. Watson is a great fit for this team because he can throw but he is also mobile. Watson needs to go here if the Jets want to think about winning a single game this season otherwise I can see this team picking first next year.


7. Chargers: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State:

There are still some great players on the board but Hooker is the best. He is a top playmaker in this draft and the Chargers are getting a bargain being able to get him at 7. He is a scary defender and he is a perfect player to complement last years first round pick/defensive rookie of the year Joey Bosa. 

8. Panthers: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama:
A great argument for Christian McCaffery could be made but the Panthers will take the best player on the board and someone who can be a terrorist for opposing offenses. Jonathan Allen is one of the best players in the entire draft and for him to fall to here is super lucky for the pass rush needy Panthers who will pounce on him.


9. Bengals: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee:
The Bengals maybe will trade up a pick or 2 to try and take Jonathan Allen out of the Panthers' reach but they are fine where they are. DE Derek Barnett is still an elite talent that will be a huge upgrade for the Bengals D. Barnett was a monster at Tennessee and the Bengals will lose out if they don't pick the monster here.


10. Bills: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson:
I think John Ross could be the better overall pick here due to what they already have in Sammy Watkins but its not bad at all to take the best pass catcher in the draft. Mike Williams countinues to remind me of Julio Jones and I think he will start as a WR2 to Sammy Watkins but once the Bills see how good he is with Tyrod Taylor he will become the teams no. 1 receiver.


11. Saints: Haason Reddick, LB, Temple:
Reddick is one of the most exciting players in the draft. The guy out of Temple is really good and the Saints need serious help on defense. They are lucky that Reddick will likely still be open because he is such a talented player and I'm excited to see what he does to help the Saints.


12. Browns: Mitch Trubisky, QB, UNC:
The Browns really want their franchise QB and they are even considering taking him over the high rated Myles Garrett but they can still take him at 12. He will be a good fit for the Browns because they need a great arm on their team and Trubisky is just that throwing a tight accurate spiral.


13. Cardinals: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech:
Mahomes is a pefect pick here. He needs at least a year to get ready to become a starting quality QB and the Cardinals QB Carson Palmer probably has 1 year left in his career. In his learning season he can learn from one good QB and then step in play very well. Plus Coach Bruce Arians loves coaching young QBs that have learning to do.


14. Eagles: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford:
A perfect selection here. The Eagles have been waiting for years for a top tier RB to fall to them and McCaffrey is a perfect selection here. The Eagles need an explosive RB who can juke defenses out and make life harder for defenses. For QB Carson Wentz to make the leap to an elite QB he will need an RB that can take some of the pressure off of him and another thing is McCaffrey is also a great pass catcher so Wentz can also throw to him.


15. Colts: Rueben Foster, LB, Alabama:
Foster could have been picked a lot earlier and with the defensive needy Colts on the clock I can't see them passing. Foster could maybe finally spur their defense to actually play decently.


16. Ravens: John Ross, WR, Washington:
The Ravens should be happy to see the 40 yard dash king still open at 16. He is an elite receiver and with most of the Ravens receivers gone, pass happy QB Joe Flacco will have no one to throw to. With Ross they have a valuable speedster that can take it to the house easily.


17. Redskins: Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan:
The Skins' need some more defensive help this season and they are lucky to have Jabrill Peppers on the board. One of the most exciting players in the draft Peppers is a freak of nature and he can also play linebacker giving the Skins' a valuable defensive asset here. He and Josh Norman could pair to give opposing offenses hell.


18. Titans: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama:
This is a major slide for the top tier tight end but the best tight end we've seen coming out of college won't fall past the Titans. Their tight end Delanie Walker is getting older and Howard is to good for them to pass up. He and Marcus Mariota should be amazing together. This reminds me of Brady to Gronk.


19. Buccaneers: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State:
With the explosive running back still open, the currently RB-less Bucs will go out and get someone out of their own state. Dalvin Cook continues to turn heads as he finished up his great college career at Flordia State. Cook will be a top RB for the Bucs for years to come and the Bucs won't regret getting an elite RB to take pressure off young QB Jameis Winston.


20. Broncos: Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky:
Forrest Lamp is the best lineman in the draft and everyone knows it. So do the O-line needy Broncos who will take the huge lineman. Lamp was a great blocker and he will help a faulty Broncos O-line that needs to cover up a young QB and a group of younger RBs. This is a perfect selection.


21. Lions: Takkarist McKinley, LB/DE, UCLA:
There is a lot of hype about McKinley and I think the Lions will take McKinley before someone else snatches him. McKinley is great at his positions and he will look to re-boot this Lions D that was shut down last year. He will help aging Ziggy Ansah and this Lions team will really benefit with the help of him.


22. Dolphins: Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan:
The Dolphins defense has some needs and one of those needs in pass rush. Some off-season departures have lead to the need of Charlton. This Dolphins D stepped it up last year but they can go from good to great this year if they have a better pass rush that Charlton can help with and eventually take over for older DE Cameron Wake when his career is over.


23. Giants: David Njoku, TE, Miami:
This pick is perfect in so many ways. First the Giants already have Odell, Brandon Marshall, and youngster Sterling Shepard who are all great targets for Eli Manning. If the Giants get a great tight end (Njoku) the defenses will flail because it will be to hard for them to know who to cover when their are so many options for the Giants great offense. In addition the freak athlete wants to play for the Giants. Whats better than matching a player with the team he wants to play for. GREAT PICK HERE!


24. Raiders: Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU:
This guy is a straight up playmaker. The lockdown corner from LSU will be a huge help to the Raiders D that needs help from a good corner to become elite. White had some huge plays on LSU including his insane backwards punt return for a TD. The guy can do it all while playing like an elite corner.


25. Texans: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame:
The Texans NEED Kizer. He is the last almost starting quality QB left in the draft. Tom Savage is no where close to enough at QB and if the Texans want to actually win playoff games, they will need Kizer who may be able to lead this team to a future Super Bowl. I think this would be a good pick here so they can take someone to throw to elite receiver DeAndre Hopkins.


26. Seahawks: Garrett Bolles, OT, Utah:
While Kevin King could be quite a pick here, I think the Hawks will go with a good O-lineman. This team has had so many struggles at O-line and Bolles is a top O-lineman in this draft. I've also heard the Seahawks were considering even trading up to get Bolles but they will be pleased to see him still here. Bolles needs to help block for Russ Wilson and the trio of good RBs the team has.

27. Chiefs: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan:
The Chiefs are lucky that Davis has fallen this far in the first round. The receiver needy team will go for Davis. Alex Smith is aging and needs quality receivers around him. Davis will be a top receiver for years to come for the Chiefs and I think that he and Alex Smith can become a great duo and they can maybe get to a Super Bowl together.


28. Cowboys: Kevin King, CB, Washington
King has looked good in recent workouts and scoutings and is starting to look like a great corner. The Cowboys need him because all of their corner left in basically the span of a few days. King is their answer and he can help the Cowboys stop getting exposed on defense.


29. Packers: Marlon Humphrey, CB, Alabama:
I think that Humphrey is a good cornerback that has some great skills to become a future elite CB1 and he maybe will even be the CB1 on this horrible Packers CB room. They will need all the help they can get at corner as you can see if you watch how hard they got exposed in the NFC championship vs Julio Jones and the Falcons. Humphrey is a huge need here.


30. Steelers: Charles Harris, DE, Missouri:
He has great potential and a lot of teams are in love with him but taking him any earlier then this may be a bit of a reach. This is the perfect spot though for the Steelers who need Harris to help their aging defense. I think this is a great pick.


31. Falcons: Adoree' Jackson, CB, USC:
Out of the many mock drafts I have made, this may be the only pick I have never changed. I'm sticking with my word that the Falcons are taking Jackson. It seems like a perfect fit to me. They need a great CB2 for when Desmond Trufant is injured like he was this whole season plus Jackson can also play return man which the Falcons also need.


32: Saints: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington:
This could be a steal. The Saints do need a CB badly and though the former no. 1 corner prospect injured his achillies people think (including me) that he will be ready for next season and if he is the Saints have just stolen a top 10 talent in this draft if he can play.

Thanks for reading and I'm SO EXCITED for the draft!

Adrian Peterson, Saints Closing in on Deal

Hi, today a big headline was released. Adrian Peterson will likely be signing with the New Orleans Saints:

This is a big deal. This biggest question on the NFL market could be answered. It sounds like the Saints are closing in on a deal with A.P. From what I have heard it sounds like it would be a 3+ million dollar deal that would make AP likely not the teams starter at RB but he would play a lot of 3rd downs and would be a great 2 punch for Mark Ingram. Of course AP is AP and he may be able to gain the starting role but the role he will at least have for now is perfect for him, the older running back would be good in this system I think. This means that the Saints can now take a lot of running backs off their draft board. If Peterson signs with the Saints he will be almost all the help they need. Fun fact: Week 1 for the Saints is a Monday Night Football match-up with guess who, the Vikings!!! In his first game as a Saint it will be fun to see if Peterson can light up his former team. But first, Peterson does need to have the deal finalized so it is not OFFICIAL but it will likely happen.
 Exciting!!!

Here is some other news:

-Its looking like the Saints are going to try hard to get the Patriots to trade them CB Malcolm Butler
-The Raiders basically tell Marshawn Lynch that the draft is the deadline for his possible return to football and to play for the Raiders

Thanks for reading this short post and I am working on my final mock draft so that should be out soon for you guys to read and see who my final picks for each pick are!!

Best Games this Season!

Hi, the NFL schedule was released last week and I am going to write about some of the best games on the schedule this year. Here it is:

Falcons @ Patriots, Week 7:
It would have been a lot better if this was the kickoff game but still a Super Bowl rematch is always fun to watch especially when the Super Bowl was such a GREAT game. Tom Brady and Matt Ryan will get to go at it again. We will see if James White can play as well and if the Falcons D can recover. This will be fun. Make sure to watch. EARLY PREDICTION: Falcons

Seahawks @ Packers, Week 1:
This will be the best week 1 match-up, one elite team will not have a chance to go undefeated. Eddie Lacy will be playing on the opposite side of the field for the first time and the rivalry will be as good as ever. The last time the teams met the Packers dominated but these games are usually really good and really close but I think that this will be a highlight of the entire season. EARLY PREDICTION: Seahawks

Eagles @ Rams, Week 14:
Even though this does seem like an average match-up of teams that are horrible most of the time but we will get to see Jared Goff vs. Carson Wentz, the first 2 picks in last years draft finally face off head to head at QB. EARLY PREDICTION: Eagles

Packers @ Falcons, Week 2:
The Packers and Falcons both have some things to settle. The Falcons barely beat the Packers high scoring offense in the regular season last year when they won 33-32, an insane nail biter. Then the NFC championship game was a blowout for the Falcons. Now the Packers will have a chance to redeem themselves and start their season out flying high over the Falcons if they can manage a win. EARLY PREDICTION: Falcons

Patriots vs. Raiders (In Mexico City), Week 11:
This will be a FUNNNN one. These teams were the likely prediction to be the AFC championship and some even thought the young Raiders could take down the Patriots. The Raiders couldn't win a game in the playoffs because QB Derek Carr got injured 2 weeks before the playoffs. Now the teams will finally have a chance to meet with their best players healthy (probably) and its in Mexico city, FUN!! EARLY PREDICTION: Patriots

Cowboys @ Raiders, Week 15:
This should be a good one. These teams don't play very often but when they do its usually fun. 2 good QBs, 2 great receivers, 2 decent defenses, and 2 AMAZING running backs. (If the Raiders get Marshawn Lynch). Dak Vs. Derek should be fun and this will be a fun high scoring affair. EARLY PREDICTION: Cowboys

Bears @ Buccaneers, Week 2:
I can't wait for this. Its only week 2 and we are going to see one of the best free agent stories take place. Former Bucs backup QB Mike Glennon hit the open market where the Bears hooked him up with a huge deal so he could come and start at QB for them. Now quickly he will be coming back to Tampa Bay to play his former team and we will see if the Bucs could have spent their first overall pick on something other than a QB if Glennon is really good. EARLY PREDICTION: Buccaneers

Seahawks @ Cowboys, Week 16:
This will be one of the best. 2 HIGH powered teams facing off Christmas Eve (my birthday :) ) in a game that will likely impact playoff seeding. The Seahawks and Cowboys both boast amazing elite offenses while the Seahawks also have an elite D. This will be a close one and the winner will be very happy and maybe take the first seed in the playoffs for Christmas. EARLY PREDICTION: Seahawks
