NFL PREDICTIONS

It's ridiculous to predict the outcome of sports seasons because there are so many unknown variables to have to look out for. You don't know who will have a breakout year, who will have a disappointing year, who will get hurt. So who knows what's going to happen in the NFL this year.

Here are my thoughts on what will happen in the NFL this year.
