THE BROWNS BOARD

Mahomo's 2021 NFL Predictions


Pat Mahomo

Recommended Posts

NFC EAST

1. Washington Football Team (WFT has strong enough D and skill players that Fitz can guide them to win this weak division)

2. Dallas Cowboys (Talent is there to win, coaching is not.)

3. NY Giants. (They will finally realize Daniel Jones isn't it.)

4. Philadelphia Eagles. (Jalen Hurtz is meh, with too much uncertainty and questionable coaching)

 

NFC NORTH

1. Green Bay Packers (clearly the best roster in a bad division, and Rodgers is still awesome)

2. Chicago Bears (Made playoffs 2 of last 3 years with Trubisky, They'll let Dalton eat some L's VS hard competiton to start year, then Fields takes over and gets some Ws)

3. Minnesota Vikings (Team is more talented than 3rd place in divsion, but I think Zimmer's message falls flat and locker room loses respect for Cousins, they underachieve)

4. Detroit Lions (They will be a try hard team, with no where near enough talent to win much.  Goff sucks)

 

NFC SOUTH

1.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (The band is back together and this time, they'll start the season running the Brady offense and not Arians bombs away attack. They'll be a tough out)

2. New Orleans (Jameis Winston, running short pass attack with some deep shots mixed in...will be better than people think.  Payton can still coach.)

3. Atlanta Falcons (They had statistically awful luck in close games..they'll regress to the mean and win about 7 games and look like the Titans doing it.)

4. Carolina (more or less a tie with Atlanta.  D is still young and I am not convinced that Darnold is it....hard team to read...better than 4th if McCaffrey plays all 17 games)

 

NFC WEST

1. San Francisco 49ers (deep roster, good skill players, good QB to start, and a better one waiting to start.  tough division, but 49ers edge with depth.)

2. LA Rams (Stars and JAGS approach with Stafford running McVay offense I think will work out well.  This team was 9-7 with bad QB play last year)

3. Seattle Seahawks (such a hard division....Seahawks will have to overcome their meh defense most weeks.  WIlson will have to carry them in playoffs if they are to win)

4. Arizona Cardinals (Brutal schedule, and brutal division.  For all the hype, coach Bro and Kyler Murray haven't been able to produce a dynamic O, and D isn't great either)

 

NFC Playoff seeding

1. Green Bay

 

2. Tampa Bay

3. San Francisco

4. Washington

5. LA Rams

6. Seattle

7. New Orleans

 

TB over NO

SF over Seattle

RAMS over Washington

 

RAMS over GB

SF over TB

RAMS over SF

 

NFC Champion LA RAMS

 

AFC EAST

1. Buffalo Bills (By far and away the best team in this division, and with improved pass rush, a legit title contender)

2. NE Patriots (Roster is better with alot of covid opt outs, now back, QB situation is in flux and better, but team will need to win with D)

3. Miami Dolphins (good and deep roster, but will only go as far as Tua can take them.  Not enough efficient deep pass plays to get over the top.  too much dink and dunk)

4. NY Jets (Wilson will take some lumps but show he is a legit QB....the roster is still a few more seasons of churn away from being competitive.)

 

AFC NORTH

1. Cleveland Browns (Cleveland will use the tried and true power run game, limit turnovers, and play good D, to win the division)

2. Baltimore Ravens (The secrew to Lamars MVP success was having 2 awesome TE's. not more WR's etc.  They don't have 2 TE's.  Jackson can't pass.  Too one diminsional)

3. Cincinnatti Bengals (A healthy Joe Burrow makes or breaks this team.  They can make a little noise if he's healthy....a big if)

4. Pittsburg Steelers (I have no faith in Big Ben having anything left, nor any faith in their O line.  I think they bottom out and start a mini rebuild next year)

 

AFC SOUTH

1. Tennessee Titans (the core of a good team is all back...and the division sucks...would help if they could find a pass rush)

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (Part of finsihing 2nd in the divison is that I think the Colts will be bad...if they can halfway block on offense, they should be OK)

3. Indianapolis Colts (a decent roster, with a bunch of QB's I don't have any faith in.  I think Wentz just aint it.  They aren't good enough to win despite the QB)

4. Houston Texans (A real threat to go 0-17.  Worst roster in the NFL...and it's one of he oldest as well.  It will be YEARS of roster building to get back to being competetive)

 

AFC WEST

1. Kansas City Chiefs (key to season is completely new O Line.  IF KC can use entire playbook on any spot on field, down and distance...will be very hard to stop them)

2. LA Chargers (pretty good roster, and expected ascension of Herbert...Chargers should be solid across the board.  Need to stay healthy)

3. Denver Broncos (good roster except QB and right side of O line.  Those are bad places to suck though...easiest schedule in NFL..could get them to 9-10 wins)

4. Las Vegas Raiders (The team just can't get out of 6-11 mode.  Don't draft or roster build well enough...fix one area, and get worse in another.  Shallow depth)

 

AFC Playoffs

 

1. Kansas City (that week 5 Bills/Chiefs matchup is HUGE!) 

 

2. Bills

3. Titans (benefit from being in week division)

4. Browns

5. Chargers

6. Ravens

7. Patriots

 

Bills OVER Patriots

Titans OVER Ravens

Chargers OVER Browns

 

Chiefs OVER Chargers

Bills OVER Titans

 

Chiefs over Bills 

 

Super Bowl

 

Chiefs over Rams.

I am Zero.  The powers that be changed my screen name to “Pat Mahomo”

I was wondering why you chose that name.  :)  

...not that I actually read anything that a fan of another team posts.  I only opened this thread to find out what agency Zero was.

So what’s the story there? You got a thing for WW II era Japanese fighter planes? Your favorite part of binary code? Big fan of the dog in The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Or maybe he loved A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Forum. That fits well.😂

Overall, not bad. However, I think the Steelers D will be good enough to keep them out of the North basement. MHO is the Bungles (and I live in Bungle Land) made a huge mistake not getting Burrow better bodyguards on the o-line. Should he get hurt early in the year- they're looking at a three win season.  

Finally- if you think the Chargers are a better overall team than the Browns- you're nuts.  :)

Dobbins getting injured earlier tonight will lose the Ravens the #2 slot in AFCN as the rest of their running backs are a who's who of who's that

I won't underestimate the Ratbirds- but I saw that injury to Dobbins. Looks like a season ending ACL.

As much as I hate the Steelers, they won't go away. Probably a 3 team race in the AFC North again, with Cincy improving.

I question your 49ers pick also. Seattle & their ugly uniforms are better. Stafford will help the Rams....that's a tough division. 

I used to like the Packers & Rodgers, not anymore. Too much drama.
