The Great Zomboni's 2021 Predictions

[Zombo]

The Great Zomboni Ranks Them:

1. Cleveland Browns ... Best roster in NFL and brilliant young coach

2. Kansas City Chiefs ... Deadly beasts, but OL may go through adjustment period

3. Tennesee Titans ... Loaded and in a weak division

4. Seattle Seahawks ... Got a feeling they will rise out of powerful NFC West

5. Los Angeles Rams ... Great on D, Solid on O

6. Buffalo Bills ...  Class of their division, but not the AFC

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... Loaded again, but one of the NFL's oldest rosters is susceptible to injury.

8. Green Bay Packers ... Can win their division in their sleep, but offseason drama may have taken a toll on them

9. Los Angeles Chargers ... New Coach has a lot to work with, should be fun year for them

10. Pittsburgh Steelers ... Don't bury Ben just yet.

11. San Francisco 49ers ... Playoff team if they are healthy, but breaking in a rookie QB makes it tough to pick them higher.

12. Washington Redskins ... Great defense and a little Fitzmagic should make it a fun year in the Capital

13. Baltimore Ravens ... Injuries already adding up, not feeling like it is their year.

14. Dallas Cowboys ... Good offense, bad defense ... High drama.

15. New England Patriots ... Back to winning ways, but not playoff bound

16. New Orleans Saints ... A little bit of a Brees hangover

17. Denver Broncos ... Defense is exciting, offense is boring.

18. Indianapolis Colts ... I'm just not a Carson Wentz believer.

19. Chicago Bears ... Can win enough games with defense until they figure out who their QB is.

20. Miami Dolphins ... You can just tell that they are not all in on Tua.

21. Minnesota Vikings ... Don't see the required leadership from the QB position.

22. Arizona Cardinals ... Can't seem to get over the hump

23. New York Giants ... I wanted to like them, but preaseason looked uninspiring

24. Las Vegas Raiders ... Step backwards, they need somebody new picking the groceries

25. Cincinnati Bengals ... Stockpiling young talent, but not ready yet in AFC's toughest division

26. Atlanta Falcons ... Transition year with new coach, clock running out on old QB

27. New York Jets ... I like the new QB, but same old lack of surrounding talent.

28. Carolina Panthers ... Jets old QB isn't in a better situation either.

29. Detroit Lions ... Pretty weak roster for the new coach to start out with.

30. Jacksonville Jaguars ... Gonna be tough sledding for Urban and Wonder Boy

31. Philadelphia Eagles ... Never saw a SB roster crumble so fast.

32. Houston Texans ... Dreadful.

Good stuff Zombo.

I'm not a fan of the Panthers, but I have a funny feeling Darnold will be better with that coach & system. Something to watch from afar as we cheer on our favorite team.
