Regardless of who you think should or shouldn't have gotten into it, here's the bracket.

Washington v Alabama-----National Championship-----Ohio State v Clemson 

Now, I am an Ohio State fan, so I could be biased, but here's how I think that this is going to go down:

Washington's record is over inflated. Yes, they have played extremely well, but they are not ready to face a team of Alabama, or even Clemson's, caliber. Alabama will put up more than forty and Washington will put up at the most twenty in my opinion. No matter what, Washington simply can not win this game.

As for Ohio State and Clemson, that will be a tougher game. Deshaun Watson is easily the best quarterback in the college playoff, and if he manages to not turn the ball over, then he could keep it close. However, I think that overall Ohio State is a much better team. Clemson barely squeaked by about half of its games, winning by one score, while dropping one to an unranked Pitt. I think this game will be decided when Deshaun Watson is forced to let the ball fly one too many times, and guys like Lattimore take advantage of his issues with accuracy.

Then Alabama by two scores over Ohio State in the championship game because Alabama and it's going to suck.

I mean, I couldn't stand the sport until I actually played it, and now I'm (very, very low key) obsessed. I didn't play sports until two years ago though, so that might be why.

I would definitely say do if you have any desire to do so. If your favorite team is the Seahawks, then follow guys like Russel Wilson, your franchise quarterback, Michael Bennett is an elite pass rusher, Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman are the biggest name members of the Legion of Boom, their secondary, and Earl Thomas III, the next man, just got an injury, so plenty of stories to follow, not to mention the growth of Tyler Locket.

So, I've had this Absol Layout for awhile now, and I'd like to get a new one that's more reflecting of my interests, and considering the back injury of the greatest player in sports...



If you can cut out the right side,  that would be cool. I'd like the text box to be on the left of Watt, black, and with white text if possible. If not, just make sure the text isn't hard to read, please.

I'd like 'Turn Down for What " in the background... That is his theme, after all, literally. xD

There's that. I am a little low on Viz at the moment but I will pay up by the time it's made, I promise. xD This post, of course, should help with that just a little bit.

So yeah, that's that.

JordanV8: You aren't wrong, unfortunately. Like I said, there aren't going to be any franchise quarterbacks in this years draft, but I would start Hoyer. He sucks, and miserably, but he can allow a good team to make the playoffs. Not win (R.I.P. Texans), at least if the best player in the game has major injuries before the game, and then gets carted off with the muscles on his leg torn from the bone, but he can help them get there, and I'm convinced that your defense is a good lineman and a couple DBs away from being top-notch. Danny Trevathan, Jerell Freeman, Pernell McPhee, and Willie Young are a solid LB core. No Urlacher, but solid enough to win games, and that's the core of a defense right there.

On the other hand, if Ryan Fitzpatrick goes into the free agency, which he very well may after his abysmal start to the season (watch his picks vs the Chiefs. Those were, for the most part, not on him.

1-A curl route to a reciever. Excellent coverage by Peters, but the reciever put no effort into catching the ball. On a curl route, one's job is to step into the pass to make it harder to defend. He didn't do that, he turned late, and it got picked.

2-What would've been a tight throw to the end zone turned bad when an LB deflected the ball. Just a great play by the defense, nothing he could've done, really.

3-Reciever literally dropped the ball. It was an incredible play by Fitzpatrick, avoiding a sack when his horrible o line collapsed.

4-again, his reciever. Literally stopped running, otherwise it would have been a dime for big yardage.

5-Okay, this one was a bad pass by Fitz. He didn't see Derrick Johnson.

6-Excellent play by the defense. Reciever has to come up with contested catches though, and he let the DB get in front of him.

But honestly, despite the horrible season he's having, he's on the New York Jets. Matt Forte has been horribly ineffective, the offensive line looks like an outclassed college O Line against a playoff team defense, and Fitz has to make every single play to win them games. He's a very good quarterback when given a decent line and any chance to make things happen, honestly. His accuracy is indisputably an underrated QB and ages ahead of Jay Cutler. Just look at last year. He led the Jets to a 10-6 record, and would have been 11-5 if Brandon Marshall hadn't dropped three touchdown passes at the end of the game.

Moving on, without Luck, the Colts are out. It's the Titans and Texans now.

Houston will more than likely lose to a desperate Packers team. Their defense is strong, but without Watt they have no way to really put any pressure on Aaron Rodgers. Jadaveon Clowney is doing well, but without 99 problems, they aren't a dominant defense, and they will get torn apart while Brock Osweiler can't deal with the horrible Pack defense. The Colts will probably lose to them, as will the Jags, which gets them to 8-6, but the Bengals will wipe them out, and then they play Tennessee.

As for my Titans, they have to top either the Chiefs or the Broncos to have a chance, because if both teams have the same record, then the Titans will lose out because of their division record. They should be able to beat out those teams though, as Marcus Mariota is on fire, and at least Delanie Walker creates massive matchup issues, while Murray,(and if not him, Henry) should be able to do the rest. Our DBs are horrible, but Trevor Siemien is no Manning, and if our pass rush can get going, we'll have that game in the bag. As for the Chiefs, it will be one hell of a game, but Alex Smith disapproves of deep passing (not that he's incapable of it). That one will be tough, but they've got a chance.

The Jaguars are a gimme, so if the Titans win one of those two beforehand, then that puts them at 8-7, just like Houston. Even if they do win out though, and go 9-6, they'll need to drop Houston, otherwise the Texans get in via division record. So it WILL more than likely come down to that game, even more certainly now.

I mean, come on. Anyone who's played as a coach in Madden's Franchise Mode has a few. Those guys who you just loved from the first time you saw them. Maybe it was a quarterback who was strong from the start, or maybe a linebacker who had to develop. Heck, maybe it's a crappy player who you love to pick on, or maybe just love because you see him as a hard worker.

Of course, this can extend to the free agency or really any players you have on your team who you love having. So here we go.

Free Agency: Well, I was going into my second year with the Cleveland Clowns. We had managed to go 10-6 by benching Manziel and putting in Austin Davis, but I knew it wasn't enough. We had to do better. So, that first year of the free agency, my big move was grabbing QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who I've always loved. I can't express to you the joy it was to have my favorite player on my team. The beard is just so...majestic. Well, second favorite. 

See, my defense had been 20th in the league that first season, but then my favorite player went onto the trade block. You know. 99 problems? JJ Watt. Suddenly, I had the best Defense in the NFL. xD He broke Drew Brees in the super bowl, and that helped me come back against my cousin who was significantly better than me. 

Anyways, moving onto the draft, this is where my core players came in.
1-Deion 'Oops' Barr: My least favorite of my favorites. I drafted him in the fourth round of my first year, hoping for a decent relief back for Chris Ivory, who I'd gotten with Ryan Fitzpatrick (woot for Jets offense). He was 58 overall, and I gave him the ball 7 times in my first 4 games. He fumbled four times. I love ripping on him though, so I keep him around lol.

2-Jorge 'Stone' Simon-I've taken to drafting the fastest WR in every draft, and this guy was 2nd, since the fastest went quick, but he was in the sixth round! Unfortunately, he was there for a reason, and can't catch an open pass to this day, but it's fun to try and develop him.

3-Johnny 'freakin' Farmer: This man. A TE I drafted to replace Gary Barnidge in the 1st round. He was 88 overall, and by the end of his regular season as a rookie, he had maxed out catch in traffic and 92 catch. When that super bowl came around, and the Bears Defense was shutting us down, he was always open, and with 213 yards and 4 TDs, plus a rush with a TD when my fullback went out, he got super bowl MVP.

4-Melvin 'Movin' the Chains' Strong: I drafted this guy in the same year as Barr, and he was 78 overall, but I trusted Barr at first. It took me awhile to give him the ball, but by the next season, he'd taken Ivory's spot, and got league MVP with twenty six hundred rushing yards, three hundred receiving yards, and twenty five rushing touchdowns. He's still only 80 overall.

5-John Garret: A quarterback who I was astounded by in the draft. I normally don't like drafting QBs, but he had A in his three scout stats, so I grabbed him. The only issue is that he's kind of injury prone, but he's extremely accurate, and I love the name.

6-Javier Gilmore-Like I said, grab the fastest receiver. 97 speed, and great at catching the ball, he's insanely good, and if he gets separation, he can go all the way. 

7-Jordan Jose-I drafted him, again, in the same year as Strong and Barr, just because I liked the name. By far my favorite, at fullback, this man is unstoppable. Honestly, his blocking is sub-parr, but he's never been stopped on the 2 yard line, and he's short and fat looking. I love him. He is my favorite child. Also, despite his speed, he can make every one handed catch in the book, it's absolutely incredible, and can break out on big RAC plays. He also came in handy when Melvin Strong broke his leg for a season, and put up about 800 rushing yards with 350 receiving

So, what about you guys?

You know, I think the Titans might make (and lose in the first round of) the playoffs this season!

Now here me out. The Colts are struggling, the Jags, who were great on paper, are out, and Houston is bound to fall off with Brock at the helm. I think that if we can beat the Colts in Indy this week, that will effectively take them out, and Houston should lose to the Raiders, getting us to 6-5 and them at 6-4. After that, besides Jacksonville, they'll face opponents who are tough to beat without a good QB, with the Packs number one rushing defence probably shutting them down. It should come down to that final game of Tennessee vs Houston though, to decide the AFC South.

Jordanv78 : I think the bears are close to being a good team, despite their...issues. Cutler is bad, he needs to leave, because when you get replaced and outperformed by Brian Hoyer, you know there's an issue. Unfortunately though, I don't think there are a lot of good QB draft prospects. Deshone Kizer, of Notre Dame, maybe? But he's just not an elite quarterback, really, otherwise Notre Dame would be doing better than it is now. Deshaun Watson's a very good running quarterback, but it seems like every game I see his stats and there are four interceptions. You aren't going to find a Mariota, Prescott, or a Winston in this draft. I"d say you trade the #5 pick to the Browns for a 2nd round pick this year and a 4-5 next year or something. Or you could draft someone who looks to be dominant on defense.

gamerforlifeforever : I predicted that the Ravens would win the division 10-6 before the preseason, and I stand by that. The Bengals and Steelers are having down years, the Browns are too, but this year at least we'll get a parade in Cleveland. D: Now, the Bengals are behind a couple games against the Ravens, but I don't think Baltimore can go without losing one more, and we saw how long Cinci can keep winning last year. I don't think they'll make playoffs, but when you have Burfict, Green, Adam Jones, etc, on your team, you never know. Oh, and Andy Frikkin' Dalton.

You're chance is this week though. The Ravens will likely fall to Dak and Zeke, and the Bills are on or off. So we could see a 5-5, 4-5 divisional race before they play each other week 12, and if you can take a win in Baltimore, then it's 5-5, 5-6, with your guys at the top. I'm confident that you'll beat the Eagles, my Brownies are a free win, so that's 7-5 right there. The Ravens should beat the 'Fins, but they'll lose to the Patriots, so 7-5, 6-7. After that, it's basically clinched. But it'll be tough, and I still think the Ravens will go 6-0 in the AFC North. We'll see.

A user of this : ROFL, this actually made me laugh, the radioactive parking lot thing. But from what I've seen now, it's more so they claimed that we effectively declared war on them by not selling their dictator more luxury cars, and then they didn't declare war in return because we all know how that would go, and so on and so on. But I completely agree that North Korea is a joke. Pathetic. You know South Korea has massive speakers on their side of the border broadcasting propaganda to bring over the North Koreans? It's hilarious.

GlazedKitten : True, we'd wreck them. North Korea is trash, and literally. But they are pretty stupid, too, so don't give them too much credit.

Ghostbear111: Fair point, I always forget that we're actually still at war with North Korea. I did not, on the other hand, know that you were a former marine or that there were giant flagpoles. I love giant flagpoles, mostly because 'Murica. 

gamerforlifeforever : A.J. Green is a beast, that's for sure. Brownies are my 2nd team, but I think that they're going to actually pull off 0-16 this season. I mean, maybe if the Bears, or Forty-Niners, or even the Dolphins...Oh wait, they lost to them. Gah.

Anyways, the team that I actually care about, the Titans, seems to be getting its crap together. Despite the defense not playing the shut down football it was early in the season, it's still playing well, and Marcus Mariota has thrown for ten touchdowns and ran for one against one interception in the last four games, with the Titans being 3-1 in those games. That L was all Andrew Luck though, that man's a great quarterback. I think they could manage to win the division, since, without the best defensive player in the NFL, and possibly overall, in their lineup, their 5-3 record is a hoax, at best. This week, I don't know how they managed to win. The Lions outperformed them everywhere, at every position, but couldn't win it, the Colts are totally reliant on Andrew Luck to win them every game on the schedule, and he's no Peyton Manning, while the Jaguars are just awful.

Alright, I have come here to request a layout! Considering the back injury of the best player in football, I'd like to get a JJ Watt layout.

?w=630&h=420&q=75

If you can cut out the right side,  that would be cool. I'd like the text box to be on the left of Watt, black, and with white text if possible. If not, just make sure the text isn't hard to read, please.

I'd like 'Turn Down for What " in the background... That is his theme, after all, literally. xD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgI8FL4tdrc

There's that. I am a little low on Viz at the moment but I will pay up by the time it's made, I promise. xD This post, of course, should help with that just a little bit.

So, as a Titans fan, I was watching the game, and all season I've been hearing "Kendall Wright will be one hundred percent, and that will be a game changer for the Tennessee Titans." Now, of course, my first thought was, "This is a guy who couldn't rack up five hundred yards in ten games, and that was when we had a more pass oriented offense because we could not run the football."

Then he got 133 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions.

Maybe now Mariota will stop throwing an interception  a game, am I right? 

Nah, he'll still throw a pick a game.

tornadocam : As a Browns fan myself (they're the last of three teams I root for), I think they're going to beat the Patriots this week, because Cody frikkin' Kessler is the next Brady, and Brady is now old, and Crowell will be league MVP. [/sarcasm]. In all seriousness, the Browns not only can go 0-16, but they will. They have a tough schedule, and there's no one that they can feasibly fend off. I think that the entire AFC North, is solid. The Ravens defense is good, the Bungals are strong all around, and the Steelers are dominant besides their secondary. The front seven is great. I think the Ravens are going to manage to go 5-1 or 6-0 in the AFC North though, and go into the playoffs 10-6.

While I agree that the Vikings are good, and very, all around, winning with Adrian Peterson performing worse than ANY BACK IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE BY FAR, not even breaking 1.6 yards a carry, without him, they're in a good spot. He's old. Their defense is a tank, but I can almost guarantee that they won't win the division for a variety of reasons.
1: You don't give Matthew Stafford and the Lions defense nearly enough credit. Calvin was the greatest in the league, but he didn't single handedly win every game.
2: Like you said, Green Bay is Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers is easily an MVP contender now that he has a receiver who isn't a no name. His entire core, besides Nelson, would suck outside of the Pack. 
3: Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers at edge rusher. Say what you will of Von and Demarcus, Clay Matthews is a more terrifying name than either of them.

Cardinals: Despite their slow start, I think that this is because of them being favored heavily over even the Patriots to take home the Lombardi. This is a wake up call for them, and honestly, while Palmer is above average, he's a system QB, and hasn't performed well anywhere else. Their backup will do fine. They will make the playoffs, but I think Seattle wins the division.

Panthers: They could legitimately be in trouble. I love Cam, but like I've been telling everyone, he had a career breakout season, and he'll never have it again. Their defense is good, but Cam Newton made it look better due to holding onto the ball. They should make the playoffs, but I think that New Orleans will give them a run once that new D of theirs kicks in.

My picks for all the divisions.
AFC South: Colts if they can get it together, but otherwise, Titans. The Jags are still the Jags, and Osweiler is the worst QB in the division. Without Watt, the Texans have nothing, and I can argue this with anyone. 
AFC North: Ravens, possibly Steelers depending on divisional matches between the two.
AFC East: Patriots. Brady is about to light up the entire National Football League. My pick over the Cardinals, Seahawks, Saints, or Panthers in the Superbowl.
AFC West: Broncos. I had little faith in the defense to preserve its dominance, but they've only gotten better, and Von Miller is playing like a League MVP.
NFC North: Packers. They started out slow, for them, but the Vikings dominance can't beat them out again. The Packers have a shootout offense and a very good defense.
NFC South: Panthers if they can get back on track, Saints otherwise. Despite the Falcons appearing good, they have an incredibly tough schedule, and the Saints have Drew Brees, the best QB in the league, matched only by Brady.
NFC West: Seahawks. The Cardinals might pull it off, but their slow start may have doomed them, and Seattle won a super bowl not too long ago.
NFC East: A toss up, honestly. These are four very equal teams, but Cowboys or Eagles. Wentz, Dak, and Zeke all came in beasting.

Not gonna lie, I'm kind of upset that the Jets didn't give Ryan Fitzpatrick a few more throws to get to 400 yards, which he would have had if he got credit for a called back play for holding. I know everyone says he's over hyped or whatever, but if you watch him play, he makes some incredible passes, and his arm strength is rather impressive. I think the Bengals are just a better team than the Jets, and that sucked, but the Jets could make the playoffs this year, and I'd love that, they're my number 2 team.

I'm angry at the Titans right now. DeMarco Murray needed to come in big, and despite two touchdowns, he had two fumbles, and that cost us the game, along with a pick 6 by Mariota. I know he can play better than that, and while he did put up 250 yards and 2 TDs against that incredible good secondary, I want more out of him with a somewhat improved recieiving core. They should be 1-0 right now, but they blew it.

megamanmaniac : Your defense has improved significantly. Guys like Vernon are going to help against the run and the pass, I think he's your biggest grab, and Damon Harrison and Janoris Jenkins will help against run and pass, respectively. You don't need much of a defense though, just a bit of one. Also, Eli Apple in the draft.

 II have the Giants winning the NFC East 10-6. You'll have an incredible passing game with Victor Cruz as a veteran leader, Odell Beckham Jr. is an incredible player and, of course, a ticket seller, and then Sterling Shepherd is a promising rookie. Before Romo was out, I still had Cowboys taking it, but without him, there's no chance, and the 'Skins will barely pull off a winning record again.

Now, I did have the Broncos beating the Panthers, but I kind of wanted Cam to win. xD That Denver defense won't carry them too far this season though, unfortunately. Their offense just can't match up, and great defenses rarely last more than a year, at least at that level.

Jordanv78 : lol the Andrew Luck puns are real.

gamerforlifeforever : I wouldn't go nearly so far as terrible. I wouldn't call him great, either, but he's a good quarterback, that's for certain, and again, he smashed various Jets franchise records that other quarterbacks with the same team couldn't. That's not to say he had a great season, without 4,000 passing yards I doubt any QB can say that, but he has an improved rushing attack that was already very good, a terrifying reciever core, and a mean offensive line, so even if he doesn't do well, the Jets will be alright.

AFC: Jets, Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Chiefs, and the Ravens.
AFC: Bengals, Patriots, Chiefs, Jaguars, Steelers, and the Raiders
^Just their to compare^
Bengals: They've made it five times in a row, but this year the AFC will be a good deal more competitive, and they'll get the boot. I agree with the Patriots and Steelers, while Garrapolo is sub par, even if he goes 0-4, Brady can find a way, and the Steelers and Chiefs are elite teams, one with an incredible offense and the other with a reliable QB and a great D.  

Jags: That's certainly a bold call. They have made some huge additions. Chris Ivory's running game will eat into Blake Bortles' yards, but it'll also cut down on his picks big time. Malik Jackson is a perfect fit for their system, and is a super bowl champion who scored 1/4 of the points in that game. (Granted, Von Miller gave him the points, but still). My Browns will miss Tashaun Gipson, he's solid, and of course Jalen Ramsey is looking to be ready to play. 

So, offense is better, defense is better, what's the problem? The Jaguars still have a quarterback, much like Ryan Fitzpatrick, I suppose you'd say, who very much relies on his recieving core to get the job done. 18 interceptions in one season is very, very bad. And Ivory will help with that, but expect to still see 12-16 turnovers. Otherwise, Gibson, like a lot of Browns, has a tendency to choke, not clutch, Ramsey could get hurt again at any time, and in the end, they didn't improve as much as my Titans did. I say  7-9 is their record, with three big signings (Jackson, Ivory, and Ramsey) and a bunch of other small improvements.

Oakland Raiders: While they very well could make the playoffs, I doubt that they will. They're in a strong division, with the Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers(who should do a bit better this season with baby Watt), and that'll cost them. Strong start, but they'll lose to many games towards the end. .500 at best. 

The Texans have a significantly better chance than the Jaguars to win it, with the league's third best defense and a much, much better backfield with Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller. They could go 11-5 at best, but I see more of a 9-7 with Andrew Luck back and raring to be league MVP.



NFC: Panthers, yes, no explanation needed, and same with the Cardinals. Yes, Seahawks, but barely, and then Packers are just always going to be good, even with significant defensive losses.

Now, where I beg to differ is the Saints. Drew Brees is the best quarterback in the NFL in my opinion. They don't need much of a defense, just a bit of one, and they've put on some defensive muscle in James Laurinitis and Sheldon Rankins. If Paul Kruger signs with them, then they will make the playoffs. Brees has some young talent to throw to, and with their athleticism, they'll become superstars pretty quick .

As for the 'Skins, they just aren't good enough. Eli Manning's passing game still won't get it done, but it'll be tough to stop with his great receivers, and that will cost them, as will Tony Romo's return...at some point. But they have Dez Bryant and Ezekiel Elliot until then.

Teams to watch:
Rams: They'll be exciting this year, as even if Goff turns out to be a bust, he's an improvement over Nick Foles.
Browns: If you want to watch every other team in the NFL win...
Texans: JJ Watt's always exciting, and with an offense behind him, as well as surgery that should've been done awhile ago, we could see another season of him being in the MVP running.
49ers: Same as the Browns
Jaguars: They'll put on a show, that's for sure. Expect them to be a playoff contender in 2017, but not yet.

Ghostbear1111 :  
The Browns will not get two wins, they will be lucky to get one. We lost a lot of good people, and Josh Gordon is only so good with a bad quarterback (I saw a few of RGIII's throws at practice, it was bad). Gordon, Barnidge, and Terell Pryor are all solid receivers though. Paul Kruger is a good OLB, Jo Haden is one of the best corners in the game, and Joe Thomas is the best player on our team. But for all that, they more than likely won't win a game. I'm a Brownies guy, but look at their schedule. Hell, they get the Patriots the week that Tom Brady comes back (and Josh Gordon, interestingly enough), and have a tough overall season ahead of them.

tornadocam : The Ravens are back. After all of their injuries last year, they're going to have a huge season. The Bengals will not make the playoffs just because of the Steelers and Ravens, but they will still pull off a winning record. Five wins for the Browns is a ridiculous prediction. We have regressed(I know, who knew that was even possible) after a three win season.

AFC: Jets, Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Chiefs, and the Ravens. 
NFC: Cardinals, Packers, Panthers, Cowboys, Saints, Seahawks
Jets: One of the first time Ryan Fitzpatrick has had an offensive system for more than one season, and Todd Bowles's second year. Say what you will about having two great receivers, but with the franchise records Fitzmagic broke, he's obviously got something that other QBs don't.
Patriots: A shaky start with Garrapolo, but Tom Brady will only lose one game during the twelve that he plays with new receivers under his wing and Gronkowski to boot while the defense does the rest. 
Steelers: They'll barely pull it off with their secondary, but nonetheless, they will, now that Leveon Bell won't be injured and all. Their front seven are strong and their offense one of the best.
Colts: Luck had a down season big time, but he was also injured at some point. He'll come back stronger than ever, and will lead a shootout team to a strong season.
Chiefs: With Denver out of the picture, since, while almost any quarterback could've done it, Mark Sanchez can't, (why in god's name wouldn't they pick up Ryan Fitzpatrick!? They'd have won another super bowl), the defense and a healthy Jamaal Charles will prove hard to stop.
Ravens: Joe Flacco and Terell Suggs are back and better than ever. They added a recieving weapon in the draft to utilize Flacco's arm, and they'll do well this season, sweeping the AFC North.

NFC:
Cardinals: Arguably the best team in the NFL, they're out to prove that they can, in fact, play defense.
Packers: Despite some major losses on the defensive side (B.J. Raji, Hayward, and of course Charles Woodson), we all know who's coming back, Jordy Nelson, and Clay Matthews is an edge rusher again.
Panthers: While they haven't had any serious regressions, the Panthers won't flirt with an undefeated season again. Josh Norman will leave a hole at corner, not that that will lose them too many games, but the league will do exactly what they did to JJ Watt. They will plan around Cam Newton, and while it won't be perfect, it will help, just like going from 20.5 sacks to 17.5 sacks helps.
Cowboys: If Romo gets hurt again, this is out the window, but otherwise, 12-4 is entirely possible. America's team, with Zeke Elliot there to give them a threatening run game, could be back.
Saints: Drew Brees, more often than not, leads the league in passing yards, and Mark Ingram is a beast. They have one of the best offenses in the NFL, and their defense is slightly better with a few key additions. Do you know what happened last time they gave the defense a quality LB, like they have? See 2009 super bowl champs.
Seahawks: They'll get beat out in their division by the Cardinals, but they're a tough team with Russel Wilson under center, a strong offensive line, and one of, if not the, best defenses in the league.
Teams to watch:
Jaguars: Chris Ivory was the league's leading rusher, and Malik Jackson scored a defensive touchdown in Super Bowl 50. Myles Jack and Jaylen Ramsey will prove to be assets to their defense.
Titans: Demarco Murray and Derick Henry will offer a powerful run game that will also open up the passing lanes for Marcus Mariota, while an improved offensive line will keep the young franchise QB on the field and a stronger defense will help on the other side.
Texans: With an actual Quarterback in Brock Osweiler, Lamar Miller, and new receivers, these guys could finally find a way to go all the way.
Rams: Even if Jared Goff doesn't pan out, he's a significant improvement over Nick Foles, and Todd Gurley is only getting better.

Barathemos : He's definetely an athlete and a speedy little guy, and had almost a one thousand yard season last year, which is very good, but he does not have the most reliable hands, I'm a Browns fan, trust me, I know. He only had three drops, which is good, but beyond that he hasn't had great catching skills. Under Philip Rivers, he might do better, but honestly, I think he just had a breakout season.

Who knows though? Browns tend to do better once they leave the pit of failure that is my Cleveland Browns.

 

Barathemos: I can't agree with you at all there. While Justin Houston is a very, very good pass rusher, he had one phenomenal season that made everyone else look like crap, with a whopping twenty two sacks. And beyond that, he has certainly done extremely well, and played on an elite level, but in two seasons he has done better than J.J. Watt, and those two seasons were by half a sack and a half of a sack, respectively.  ad Houston started in five more games this season, I doubt he would have gone over eleven sacks. Watt is a consistently better pass rusher who gets not only more sacks in general, but tackles as well. They started playing in the same year, and these are their totals.

Watt: 298 tackles, 74.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, 45 pass deflections
Houston: 224 tackles, 56 sacks, 8 forced fumbles, 25 pass deflections

While it could be argued that Houston missed 5 games in 2013, again, he wouldn't have gotten another twenty sack season. The other thing is too, people don't plan their entire game around Houston. They give the offensive tackles a pep talk. 

I'm not saying that Houston isn't a phenomenal player, but he has nothing, nothing on Watt beyond a season with one and a half more sacks than a total JJ Watt pulled off not once, but twice.

Mynamescox44 : Yep. You were the reason that your team smashed through the competition with seeming ease. Congragulations lol. You are officially the reason that we can't find a way to host a balanced team competition. xD No clue how we really could have a balanced team competition, really, that I can think of. So that's up to just about everyone besides myself.

Mohammedroxx3 : lol yeah, pretty much. Eniitan doesn't like the TdV though. xD

Mynamescox44 : I'd be in the younger category there. That would probably be the best solution, but you also have to think, if not for a certain someone, the two top teams (not the trusted, XD) would have actually been pretty close, lol. Your putting up points well over the four hundred point mark is what made it so unbalanced in the end. xD

Eniitan : Maaaaybe...xD

You could carry the team! You have the most posts almost every day, so totally balanced! [/sarcasm]

We could also do age gaps as teams...that'd be cool.
