With less than 24 hours before the first game of the 2020 NFL season kicks off I thought it'd be fun to make some last minute predictions on how the season will turn out. I made predictions on every team's record, awards, and how the playoffs will turn out.

AFC
East
1. Patriots (10-6)[4] Even though the Pats look more vulnerable than ever under Belichick, Cam Newton will return to form, and it'll be just enough for the Pats to win the division again.
2. Bills (10-6)[5] Honestly, I think they're better than the Pats, but their inability to beat them will cost the Bills the division on a tiebreaker.
3. Jets (7-9) Sam Darnold will improve massively and make this team look better than it probably is, but they haven't done a good job of building around him.
4. Dolphins (4-12) This team still has a ways to go, and the fact that I believe Tua won't play a single snap doesn't help.

North
1. Ravens (15-1)[1] They'll finish with the best record in the league, but as you'll see, I think they're a regular season team, going one-and-done AGAIN in the playoffs.
2. Steelers (9-7)[7] Big Ben won't be the same coming back from injury, but it'll be enough to sneak into the playoffs.
3. Browns (8-8) They'll be the most erratic team in the league, playing up or down to their competition each week. I've got them winning 1 against the Ravens and beating the Eagles, but I also have them losing to the Jaguars and Football Team.
4. Bengals (5-11) Joe Burrow will hit the ground running as a rookie QB, but this team still has a way to go before they can be considered contenders.

South
1. Titans (11-5)[3] Many people think this team was a bit flukey last year and say they'll fall back to Earth. I disagree. I think they'll be even better than last year, especially with Houston taking a bit of a drop.
2. Texans (8-8) Losing Hopkins will prove to be too big a blow, as their offense will struggle to find their grove early without him. They'll recover to finish strong to end the season, but it'll be too late.
3. Colts (6-10) I've just never seen them as anything spectacular, and I don't think adding Philip Rivers will help as many think it will.
4. Jaguars (1-15) It's gonna get ugly, That's all I've gotta say. Doug Marrone will probably get fired before the end of the season.

West
1. Chiefs (13-3)[2] I don't think the hangover will hit them at all, and with Mahomes healthy for all 16 games, they'll finish with a better record than last season. I'm picking the to repeat
2. Raiders (9-7)[6] I've got them neck and neck with Denver for 2nd in the division. I'll give them the nod based on coaching.
3. Broncos (8-8) One of the hottest teams to end last season, they'll start strong before running out of steam late. But they are a team to watch for the future.
4. Chargers (3-13) They've got some good pieces on D, but I've got little to no faith in their offense especially at QB.

NFC
East
1. Eagles (12-4)[2] The injury bug's already starting to affect them a little, but if they can keep enough people healthy, and I think they will, they're gonna be one of the best teams.
2. Giants (8-8) After a solid year 1, Daniel Jones will have an even better year 2. I see them as a team on the rise.
3. Cowboys (7-9) They'll start strong, but in the final weeks they'll become, as Stephen A Smith likes to say "an Accident Waiting to Happen". I've got them losing their last 5.
4. Football Team (2-14) They might be the worst team in the league talent-wise, even below Jacksonville. I give them their 2 wins solely off of coaching.

North
1. Vikings (11-5)[4] Yes, there's a lot of new pieces, especially of Defense, but somehow, some way, they'll all fit. Plus a monster season from Dalvin Cook won't hurt either.
2. Packers (10-6)[7] I do think they were a bit overrated last season and are due for a bit of regression. But as long as Rodgers is playing, never count this team out.
3. Bears (7-9) The defense will be solid as usual, but whoever the starting QB will be, they'll be the 4th best QB in the division. I'm sorry, but that's just too tough of a sell for me.
4. Lions (3-13) I won't be surprised if HC Matt Patricia gets fired mid season. I think this is a team that needs a culture change before they start going anywhere

South
1. Saints (12-4)[1] This time, they'll get the 1st round bye they were looking for, but it won't help as they'll still get snakebitten in the playoffs
2. Buccaneers (11-5)[5] There's gonna be some bumps in the road early as TB12 adjusts to a new team, but they'll hit their stride midseason and come into the playoffs as a team no one wants to play.
3. Falcons (5-11) Everyone says they're gonna be a better team than they were last year... sorry, I don't buy it. This was the exact same thing everyone said at the start of last season. This season will cost Dan Quinn his job.
4. Panthers (4-12) It's gonna painful to watch as the Panthers waste the talent of Christian McCaffrey for another season.

West
1. Seahawks (12-4)[3] Always a solid team, they're my pick to win this division and could easily make another deep playoff run.
2. 49ers (10-6)[6] I think the hangover will hit them a little and they'll lose some games they probably shouldn't, but they'll still be in the playoffs
3. Rams (8-8) In a tough division, it just doesn't seem like they've done enough to be at the top. If anything, they're a team on the decline.
4. Cardinals (7-9) I don't think they're gonna improve as much as some people think they will, their division is just too tough, but they are a team on the rise nevertheless.
