2015 Chicago Bears Season Predictions

Another year looms for the Chicago Bears and so does the question – will Jay Cutler finally play up to his contract? I mean c’mon. Cutler was brutal last year – he was responsible for 24 turnovers. Cutler will be guiding a Chicago ship that on paper had a ton of holes to fill in the offseason but inexplicably were ignored.

2015 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Predictions

The Josh McCown and Mike Glennon era is thankfully over in Tampa Bay – it’s Jameis Winston time Tampa. A top tier quarterback can change a lot of things for a team – the Buccaneers hope that Winston can be one of those special characters. There are still some holes on this team however heading into the 2015 season – who is going to emerge as a viable running back?

The Detroit Lions begin the 2015 with lofty expectations after an 11-5 season last year but with a few key members from that team departed for greener pastures.

2015 New Orleans Saints Season Predictions

The New Orleans Saints will try to improve on a disappointing 7-9 season and try to get back to the form that saw them a dominant NFL force just a few short years ago. The problem? The Saints inexplicably traded away their best offensive weapon Jimmy Graham, they traded Kenny Stills and they still have the hugely over-rated Rob Ryan running the defense.

2015 Redskins Preview & NFL Football Future Lines & Pick

2015 Washington Redskins Season Predictions

The mortgaging of the future for Robert Griffin III still plagues the Washington Redskins – the Football Gods are punishing them for some odd reason – maybe it’s the logo, maybe owner Dan Snyder is being paid back for something he did in a past life. The Washington Redskins ranked 26th in points scored last season and 29th in points allowed – ugly indeed.

2015 N.Y. Giants Season Predictions

It is hard to believe that the New York Giants went just 6-10 last season and that this team has made the playoffs just once in the last six seasons. Eli Manning had one of his best statistical seasons as a pro last year and Odell Beckham exploded onto the scene but injuries on both sides of the ball in key areas really hurt this team where it counted the most – in the standings.

2015 Seahawks Preview & NFL Football Future Lines & Pick

2015 Seattle Seahawks Season Predictions

The Seattle Seahawks enter the 2015-2016 NFL season with typically lofty goals and seemingly few reasons to think that those goals aren’t completely attainable. The Hawks remain one of the best coached teams in the game, they have a balanced offense that added a key piece in the offseason and they still own one of the best defenses in the game.

2015 St. Louis Rams Season Predictions

The St. Louis Rams will enter the 2015-2016 NFL season with their annual sense of optimism, but seemingly few other reasons to think that they can challenge the top dogs in the NFC this year. No longer will the Rams have to sit on pins and needles with every preseason and regular-season snap praying that Sam Bradford doesn’t get hurt – he’s Philadelphia’s problem now.

2015 Arizona Cardinals Season Predictions

The Arizona Cardinals looked to be on a path toward the Super Bowl last year before a string of bad luck derailed any plans to advance deep into the playoffs. After a 9-1 start, the Cards lost four of their last six games, lost Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton to injury and subsequently fell off the radar.

This is a rematch people actually want to see.

Green Bay

Last week against Dallas the Packers owned the second half and got the victory to set up a rematch with their nemesis Seattle. The Packers have enjoyed a very fine season but they are definitely a stronger team at home than on the road this year.

[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

At home the offense is unstoppable and mistake free but on the road they are not quite as potent. It will be relatively fresh that they lost to Seattle in the opener and I think we will see a performance that tops that one win or lose.

The key to this one will be QB Aaron Rodgers. In the opening loss he had his worst game of the season but assuming he is right physically I think he will be much better. Against the Cowboys they didn’t put much pressure on him but Seattle will force him to prove that he is up to the task physically.

[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Green Bay has a gifted receiving corps but the Seahawks have the best secondary in the NFL. It should be a nice battle.

Seattle

The final margin for the Seahawks might have been a cover as a big favourite but that game was actually pretty close and in doubt until an interception return for a TD. I am not saying the Seahawks were lucky to escape, just that it was closer than it might have looked on the ticker. Seattle is looking primed get back to the Super Bowl. They are playing well and will be taking on a team they have already beaten once at home this season. They are definitely peaking at the right time it seems.

Against the Panthers Russell Wilson continued his brilliance in big games. You may not know from game to game whether it will be his feet, his arms or his brain that will beat you but he has emerged as one of the most consistent and savvy QBs in the game.

[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

I expect that he will once again be the x factor as the Packers are likely to gang up on the run and dare a mediocre group of receivers to be difference makers. Many have lost playing that game.

NFL Handicapping Trends:

  • Packers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games on fieldturf.
  • Packers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
  • Packers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.
  • Seahawks are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. win.
  • Seahawks are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
  • Seahawks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
  • Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings.
  • Home team is 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

NFL Prediction:  Over 46.5

I like the total and number in this. The total might hold a little more value because as they proved in the first meeting the Seahawks could dominate and still get the over.

NFL Score prediction:  Seattle 30 – Green Bay 28

Hopefully it will drop but it is pretty good right now.
