Before the season starts, who are your top 5 teams? I’ve got:

 

5. Bengals 

4. Bills

3. Eagles

2. Niners

1. Chiefs

 

I wanted to find a way to get the Jags in the list, but need to see more. Will Purdy be able to replicate last season? If so, Niners move to #1 pretty quickly. That’s one talented team!

Chiefs

Eagles

Ravens

Niners

Bengals

 

i will throw in a dark horse, the Saints, I think Carr has a great year, also doesn’t hurt his division is flat out garbage.

So I see the party has started and the invites must have gotten lost in the mail. Thank God I still have my axe!

Howdy Gents...are you ready for some football?

I was hoping to climb on board for another year. 

I found the link and started to bang the door down. 

I am over the moon this year because the Snyder era has come to an abrupt end and we have new ownership in DC. 

Hail to whoever they are!   At this particular time, I do not really care 

I think Washington Football Team was the best option.  But that's just one Washingtonian's opinion.

If you will have me I will be happy to climb on board the 2023 Picks Pool Bandwagon

 

Glad you’re back Doc.  I heard a Native American group want them to return to the Redskins, their reason, it was tradition and between the lines Snyder is gone.

KC

Philadelphia

Buffalo 

Cincinnati 

NY Jets 

I am so excited about a Snyderless-owned Washington that I haven't been paying much attention until the last week reading up on fantasy FF stuff.  

From what I can see I like Philly, Cincy, Dallas, KC, Buffalo

Honorable Mentions Detroit,Cleveland, Rams, Seattle, Ravens

I think Watson has much to prove and will be hungry this year... We shall see 

Way too early to really tell one way or the other

Injuries will play a significant role also

 

Teams that I think fade a little  KC will have to defend with a great TE that is one year older, lost their offensive coordinator, and doesn't have great WRs or RBs and an ok defense.  They still have the wizard Mahomes so I will keep them up there just not all the way to the big dance again

I love the NIners, but the Qb situation has me a bit gun shy

The Raiders look lost and confused. I will root for Jimmy G to salvage his career and do well but I think they are lucky to finish 500

Another team with really good personnel except shaky at Qb is Green Bay they will drop off a bit despite their talent.

Vikings also will drop down a bit.  I think Cousins hit his apex already and their defense is paltry.

 

Sleeper teams 

Houston,

Commanders if Howell is slinging Sammy Howell

Chargers if their receivers stay on the field

Atlanta easy schedule and a stud RB

Saints also have a very easy schedule

 

That's it for now I reserve the right to change my mind in the next 10 minutes LOL

I heard that also and I see it circulated on Facebook but local sports shows are saying there is no Native group that they claim to be so we shall see.  You never know these days with social media hacks

I am loving the Saints more also. I will be rooting for Carr, and I love the Niners but Purdy for 17 games is a bit daunting

[Petethreeput]

San Fran

Philadelphia

Buffalo

KC

Steelers will surprise and be top 10.

 

Who knows the fifth, Bengals?  Maybe but even the great Cauley Caulkin had to get to big for his britches.

It's the battle of the BW Parkway. 🥊

 

Your team is fired up @doctoro .

Hot take alert! Bryce Young will be a bust and won’t make it through the season. 
Warm take. Kyler Murray is a bust

Ok, I'll play.

2. Chiefs
3. 49'ers
4. Jet's
5. Jaguars

Some great hot takes and still 2 preseason games to go! The Chiefs losing Bienemy is something I haven’t thought much about. Really interesting dark horses, too, with the Steelers and Saints. Maybe some others in longer posts that I haven’t made it through.

I'm going to release my dark horse overachiever picks tonight. 

Get your money ready TL to make some online futures wagers.😄

 

Mr. DFW, our man doc is good at this picks thing. He has a decade long winning % in personal picks that he bets, has won our contest, and has won his fair share of FF leagues. I keep an eye on his predictions throughout the season and will toss a few bucks on his picks with my guy. Unfortunately online sports betting isn't yet legal in the Tobaco State.

Eagles         Will soar

Bills             Window closing

Chiefs         Tough to repeat

Bengals      No more bungles, bring on the tasty corn cone bugles. 

Jaguars      Think they are going to break out, lost some games they could of easily won last year.

Punches thrown at a helmet and facemask. Never ceases to amaze me.

And my AFC East predictions. No charge. 

 

Bills          See them here next two years. 

Patriots    They have an OC !!!  Bring back Pat Patriot for good please. 

Jets          Not sold on Jolly Rodgers at all. 

Miami       Fish slipping, overcooked overpriced.

So that brings up another prediction game, the opposite of a dark horse. Who do you expect to miss expectations the most? I’m with you, triple Q. I think the Jets are going to disappoint big time. Bad OL will have A-A Ron doing shrooms in the huddle.

I say the LA Chargers. They are getting a lot of hype but the only change is a new OC who wasn't even that great in Dallas.

* of course the following is optional.

I suggest you guys make a post like the one above. It will be a handy reference for your preseason predictions all season long. Who knows maybe Big Fish and I might award some bonus points to the one that has the most correct at the end of the regular season?  😉

@touch
I think we need to define what a dark horse is.  How can a young team that win a playoff game last year be a dark horse?

Good call NJBF,  yes that should be properly defined. 

 

How about I post the current Vegas line for Total Wins for the season for every team and we all predict three teams that we feel will exceed that number of wins, or OVER that many wins? 

 

And let's say you cannot select from the top 5 teams on the Odds list that I use?

As much as I like to take risks, my preseason SB pick will not be Arizona vs Houston.

 

 

... I dunno, it could be Epic. First time in SB history where both teams lose.  😱

... Here is the thing that drives me absolutely crazy. Watching pre season games where 2nd and 3rd string QB's I have never heard of  have more poise in the pocket, throw with more accuracy and read defenses better than Justin Fields. 

[Petethreeput]

OK, I just read someone thinks the Lions, the Niners, and the Jags are going to win their divisions, and Dallas to be second.

 

Anyone of these could be the biggest bust, as they consistently have been for many years.

I like the Jags to do it, 49'rs I'm not sure, and I as an ex Skins fan hope Dallas has another heartbreaking season.

 

But what I want to know is when do we get your prediction on the season this team will have? 

 

[Petethreeput]

I need to see a little bit.  They went .500 last year and fixed some issues, but I have to see a tad more.  I do think they will surprise.
