Mark Sanchez will have a QB rating over 100 (top 10) with 20-22 TDs and 5 Ints.

The Jacksonville Jaguars win the AFC South.
They should be on the verge. A young QB , Ivory and Yeldon, 2 studs WRs, A TE who when he wants to play is very very good. getting essentially 3 first round draft picks on the field on defense, Mailk up the middle.

Wow they look loaded this year.

Denver Broncos Bold Prediction:

Broncos will become a top-7 rushing team this year in yards and yards per carry.

I know breaking the rules of the thread but NFL Bold Prediction:

Pittsburgh Steelers will not have a top-10 offense this year

The final four teams from last year, don't make the postseason.

This might be one of the more bold statements I have seen this year but hey also wouldn't surprise me. Broncos have QB questions obviously and 6 new starters on offense. Patriots are without Brady for a while and still have OL issues. Panthers might be facing a tougher division this year so doubt they get close to 15-1 again. Finally the Cardinals are in a tough division and their QB has had some issues with injuries and such. They have some aging veterans that they are depending on to continue to perform at a high level. I doubt all 4 miss but they all definitely have question marks.

Denver over the last 10 games of 2015 ran at 120.8 ypg which would have ranked 8th. CJ was over 6 ypc.

A healthy CJ all year would be nice with Booker giving him a break and still running hard and Hillman occasionally breaking off a 20 yarder.

In all reality, I think the Pats do make the postseason because no one in that division is that good.

A super bowl hangover for the Panthers, a ultra-competetive AFC West, the Cards getting their heels nipped at by the Seahawks......it could happen.

It probably isn't the most bold statement I have ever made considering not only the nice success in the run game to close out the year, the revamped OL, and the fact that Kubiak has historically had great running teams but I think if our team is going to be successful this year it will take us being that top-7 rushing team. To be able to run it even when teams know we are going to run it.

Not saying it can't happen but historically speaking we don't usually see that huge of a turnover at the top. Usually at least 1 of the top teams remains a top team.

The Packers implode as the result of PED investigations, resulting in McCarthy getting fired after missing the playoffs.
