I'm not going to try and plot out each team, division and what not, not now at least.
I'll just say I think the Broncos go 11-5, 1st in the West, 3rd overall but make it back to the Super Bowl. Not sure about an NFC representative right now other than it won't come from the West.

I really hope he doesn't take the Tebow route and not consider other options in hopes an NFL team will sign him. f***er's talented, but if it's not working down here hopefully he at least will consider the CFL. It'd suck to see him waste away his prime doing nothing on-field. Tebow could still be in the NFL right now if he'd went for fullback. For sure; that's what I was getting at. If he were to "lower his standards", he could still be playing in the NFL. Of course, who am I to tell somebody to change their dream? He wants to play quarterback in the NFL and he'll try his damndest.

In other news, Michael Sam has been invited to RAW and will be given a live Mic to ell HIS STORY if he accepts the invitation. By the way RAW is advertising it, you' think he already accepted. Why? Because he's Gay, that's it. Who cares about talent, the other guys who were cut. Let's milk this guy for what he's worth!
I'm gonna laugh if three hours of promotion is waste because Michael Sam simply says no to WWE's shit.

And some how have a negative amount of wins ? Nah. We'll still miss the playoffs, but we'll get some good wins and be on the up and up as far as the attitude of the team goes. Not trying to bury the Raiders but there's an awful lot on the line for them this year with Carr. You've got the oldest roster in the league, a brutal schedule, and a QB who hasnt' taken any 1's snaps against another team yet. I know new season, and hope springs eternal but I can see them being a 3-4 win team this year. I mean looking at their schedule and they might be favorites twice this year.

I mean, they're still a rebuilding team that's not very good, but I think this could be the year they start to rise up.

He played with Oakland's first team and drove against the Seahawks 1st team in Week 4 of the preseason.

Normally Carroll doesn't play his starters in game 4 but I see some of them got a drive or 2. Still doesn't fix the old roster and schedule unfortunately. Either way so glad it's starting in a couple days.

Firing another bold shot prediction: Green Bay will not make the playoffs.
They are the most disgustingly overhyped team in football.

So this is my fantasy team, keep in mind I am trying to trade one of my receivers for Marshawn Lynch, but not sure if I'm willing to trade Desean Jackson, thoughts?
QB - Wilson WR - Johnson/G. Tate RB - Morris/P. Thomas TE - Reed W/R/T - Crabtree/Desean Jackson
Bench: Newton, Boldin, Devonta Freeman
If I can get another running back, I'd slide Thomas to the W/R/T and have a better team overall. It was an auction league which is incredibly long but also pretty good in the sense that you have to budget.

NFC north mumblings:
I predict the Vikings will go 8-8 or 9-7. They are an improving team on both sides of the ball. QB situation looks fairly average for the first time since Favre's Magic Year.
I think the Packers are going to get a double dose of reality when they painfully find out their offensive line and defense are borderline garbage. But Rogers might as well be a superhero and if he's healthy they will make the playoffs. Without Rogers the Pack is a 4 win team.
Bears are the team to beat in the NFC north unless Cutler morphs into Crybaby mode... but why would he when he can close his eyes and toss a bomb to amazing receivers all day?
Lions will be a greasefire because they are the Lions. Something stupid will sink their ship like it always does.
A comment on Micheal Sam:
I fully believe the media has screwed over Micheal Sam. They create a circus that is a distraction. Micheal being Gay didn't do that, 50 reporters babbling about did it. Basically if Micheal Sam was tied with another player, you'd always take the other player because they won't come with the media circus. And that's a shame. There's still hope for him, even this year. A couple injuries in a opening weeks of the season at his position will get him signed somewhere.
Oh I'm sure there are teams that wouldn't sign him for any reason, The NFL has plenty of dirty secrets, but the league as a whole more or less wants to win at all costs. The best players will always eventually make a team.

Outside observer, to me this seems to have done more harm than good, and while the vast majority of us applauded him for coming out and being the first openly gay NFL player but we're at the point now where ESPN is talking about showering habits. It seems like it's had the opposite affect on his career.

I mean, they're still a rebuilding team that's not very good, but I think this could be the year they start to rise up. It feels like Oakland's been a rebuilding team even before JaMarcus Russell got drafted. They'll recover eventually, but the Raiders are stuck in a perpetual haze of mediocrity like Buffalo. They're not bad enough to get really tremendous draft picks (like Indy did with Luck) but they're by no means good enough to make the playoffs and get an easy schedule. I feel for Raiders fans, who have stuck it out for years with little to no progress.

I'll probably sit down tonight and make my predictions out. I always look forward to doing this, even though I tend to be hilariously wrong.

It seems like it's had the opposite affect on his career. The thing with Sam that made the whole thing even more touchy was that he was considered a mid round pick before the combine (4th or 5th round), then he had an absolutely awful combine and fell to the 7th. Did him coming out have something to do with that? For some teams sure, but it was never going to be about him having a poor combine. Then he went to a team so deep on the DL he had almost no shot to make the initial roster. He'll land on his feet though.
