The NFL season is right around the corner.
What does this mean?
It is time to predict the 14 playoff teams.
Entering the 2019 season, the Cleveland Browns had high hopes and playoff expectations. Some betting spots had the Browns with the fifth-best odds to win the Super Bowl entering the season. However, the team showed to be the same old Browns.
A hot start to the 2019 season winning their first three games amid Super Bowl conversations, quickly spiraled downward after only winning five more games throughout the season, to end yet another depressing season under former head coach, Jason Garrett. While the Dallas Cowboys struggled, so did the entire NFC East, giving hopes that the Cowboys could earn another playoff spot.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made a significant move on Monday by releasing running back Leonard Fournette.
The New York Giants are entering the 2020 season looking to improve on last year. Rookie quarterback Daniel Jones and the offense were the highlights of the 2019 season, but the Giants finished the year 4-12 and missed the playoffs. However, they have high hopes for the 2020 season.
The MLB trade deadline isn’t the only hot topic across the sports industry. As the dog days of summer approach and later conclude, big paydays arrive during NFL training camp. The Houston Texans are the latest team to make a splash towards their roster, this time, on defense. They have reached an agreement with inside linebacker Zach Cunningham to a 4-year, $58 million extension.
After signing former Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins to the first fully guaranteed contract in NFL history, the Minnesota Vikings had Super Bowl expectations in 2018. Instead, they ended up missing the playoffs. However, the 2019 season was a bounce back year for the Vikings. They went 10-6 and made the playoffs as the second wild card team.
While many were still asleep, the Jacksonville Jaguars finally traded disgruntle defensive end Yannick Ngakoue after months of public criticism. Earlier in the offseason, the Jaguars placed the franchise tag on Ngakoue despite him publicly stating he wanted out of Jacksonville.
The 2019 Miami Dolphins were thought of as potentially the worst team the league had seen since the 2008 Detroit Lions. The front office was starting over from scratch behind General Manager, Chris Grier, and head coach, Brian Flores who wanted their types of players.
The 2019 Denver Broncos season was a tale of two halves. The first half featured veteran quarterbacks Joe Flacco and Brandon Allen leading this team to a 3-8 start. The second half featured rookie quarterback Drew Lock starting and leading this team to a 4-1 finish.
The complete roster overhaul in Miami continues. After trading Kenny Stills, Laremy Tunsil, and Minkah Fitzpatrick last year, Miami has
Building momentum in Sean McDermott’s third season as head coach, the Buffalo Bills won 10 games for the first time since 1995 last season. They made their second straight wild-card playoff berth. Guided by an outstanding defense that finished top two in the league and the improved play of quarterback Josh Allen, the team began to prove they are an emerging contender in the AFC.
