SEASON 37 - SEASON PREDICTIONS


Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the annual MOF Season predictions. We are currently in our 3rd season of the brand new CFM mode and it has been excellent to say the least. Coach Shawtypizzle shocked the world in Season 36 as he beat Cheef, Leet, Pauly, and Betts to win the whole thing. Very impressive.

The off-season has been completed and we're currently in the pre-season getting ready for Monday's opening kickoff. Season 37 has alot in store for us, as we see some new guys and we continue to have our veteran staples. We're hoping to see some new faces in the post-season, and some old veterans get off their schnide! Remember these are all in good fun, so enjoy fellas.


AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills - Coach Shawtypizzle

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Buffalo Bills (10-6) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (20-27) .426 
Team's Overall Record: 271-287 (.486)

The Champ is here to defend his crown! Of course everyone expects a Super Bowl hangover, but the Bills made an interesting signing in the off-season. Andrew Luck is now a Buffalo Bill. Coach Shawtypizzle threw $103.9 million over 7 years to Luck and he accepted. But the question is now, what do you do with Tyrod Taylor? The QB who took you to the crown last season? Rumors already have it that Taylor is being shipped out of town, so we'll have to see where he lands. The BIlls lost Kyle Williams to retirement, and the other two of note were kicker Dan Carpenter and safety Aaron Williams, nothing that bad. They basically have the same team coming back, so why wouldn't they be a force to be rekon with? McCoy, Antonio, and Watkins in addition to Andrew Luck, they easily have the best offense in the division.

Miami Dolphins - Coach Kd0tMarxs ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (0-1) .000 
Team's Overall Record: 284-289 (.496)

Miami yet again will be starting the season with a brand new coach. A coach who had a very busy offseason. With the loss of Cameron Wake due to retirement, they also traded Darrelle Revis, lost Reshad Jones, Eric Decker, and Barry Church. That's a pretty big impact. They signed Datone Jones, left end from Green Bay, but did not address their secondary needs at all. The top rated CB is a 68. They will have a lot of problems covering any receivers, let alone Buffalo's. Their offensive line is also pedestrian, with an average rating of 81. Their running game is non existent as well, as they have Jay Ajayi starting on the depth chart as of right now. Zack Lewis is the starting QB right now, and it appears Miami is absolutely in rebuilding mode with 41 million in cap. Coach Kd0tmarxs has alot of work to do in his rookie season, we wish him the best with this land of misfits in Miami.

New England Patriots - Coach Pettigrew95
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 New England Patriots (8-8) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (120-55) .686 
Team's Overall Record: 272-293-2 (.481)

The end of an era. Tom Brady went down last season with an injury, and that was that. He announced his retirement, sending Patriot fans to the tissue box. Coach Pettigrew had to pick up the snot rags and continue though, as he had a pretty decent offseason. Sure they lost Brady, Sheard, Lafell, Butler and Alan Branch, but they signed away Nick Mangold from the Jets, Chris Long from the Rams, Brandon Mebane from Seattle and Stedman Bailey from the Rams. Their draft pick Adrian Mack looks promising as well. The Jimmy Garoppolo era has begun in New England and that doesn't mean good things for Pettigrew. Of course this is still Coach Pettigrew, who has a .686 winning percentage in his MOF career, so he will win some games based on his talent alone, but these guys are not looking very good. They are hurting at RB, with Dion Lewis the highest rated, after Julian Edleman and Gronk their receiving corps is not very good. The strong point of this team is the defense. Their corners are the weakest part, but their front 7 should be very good. I expect the Patriots to be around .500 just because they lack the talent to compete for the division.

New York Jets – Coach TD3322 ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (1-0) 1.000 
Team's Overall Record: 303-273 (.526)

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!! We saw Coach TD3322 take over in Week 17 and win a forfeit over Cleveland, so we don't really know what he's got just yet. All we know is that he made the playoffs in another league and he's a Madden veteran. So i'm sure he knows what he's doing. However, in the offseason they lost a intrical piece of their offensive line in Nick Mangold, and to make it worse he went to the rival Patriots. Their offensive line is absolutely hurting, and is the worst in the division. To stop Buffalo's defensive line, and the revamped Pats line, they will need a prayer. They still have Stafford at the helm, but Bryce Petty is knocking on that door and we expect a full competition in camp. Chris Ivory mans the backfield, as Garcon and Cruz are back for the Jets targets. Jace Amaro is the starting tight end and is getting better every season. The addition of Terrance Cody on the Defensive line was more of a depth signing, but he could make more of an impact if an injury occurs. Wilkerson and Damion Harrison are the strongest parts of the defense as they're back in New York. The draft pick Jayrone Elliot will make his debut at LOLB as he joins Demario Davis and Daryl Washington. The loss of Kyle Wilson and Dee Milliner hurts their secondary but Jimmy Smith, Gilchrist and Calvin Pryor look to over achieve. The Jets are a mess on offense, and as we saw last season you're going to have to score in this division. They will have issues blocking, as we said before, and that will be the demise of this team.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC EAST
The Jets and Dolphins are in rebuilding mode, both teams need QBs and RB's, and even WR's.. and that will make them the basement dwellars, in addition to that they are both rookies of the MOF and you all know how i feel about predicting rookies. The Bills are the creme of the crop of the division and barring any injuries they should win the division once again. The Patriots could be a wild-card surprise if
Garoppolo can play well, and Pettigrew can show up.


AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens - Coach Bubbaduran07
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Baltimore Ravens (6-10) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (51-45) .531 
Team's Overall Record: 276-292 (.486)

The Ravens were one of my busts last season. I predicted them to be much improved, instead they came back with the same record as Season 35, 6-10. Since then, Joe Flacco has been benched, and Van Parker out of Alabama was drafted in the 2nd round. The Ravens traded C.J. Mosely in the off-season to the Redskins for Chris Culliver and Jameson Crowder, in a questionable move. They did sign Josh Boyd and Kyle Wilson, but also lost Chris Canty and Daryl Smith to retirement. The offensive line of the Ravens are one of the strong points of this team, led by 95 rated Marshal Yanda, i'd almost consider moving him to left tackle if i was Coach Bubba. The QB position is in shambles, will it be Sebastian Jordan who was drafted last season, Van Parker, or Joe Flacco? The competition is on, but when you have 3 QB's you have zero QBs. The runningback position i like very much. Demarco Murray is a year older, but the draft pick of Carlton Alden out of FSU will be one of the steals of the draft. The speed of their receivers is also a strong point, Breshard Perriman and Ja'Darius Hester both have a 97 speed. Tight end Crockett Gillmore rounds out the offense. The DLine suffered a loss with Canty leaving, but they are still pretty solid with Jernigan and 93 rated Brandon Williams at DT. Besides Terrell Suggs at ROLB, their linebacking corps is hurting. Especially with the retirement of Daryl Smith, and the trade of Mosely. Their secondary is also a weak spot, with the highest rated corner being at 79. Will Hill is a great safety, and should provide some leadership to the rest of the team.  These guys are an average team, they really need a QB and if i was them, i'd contact Buffalo about Tyrod Taylor yesterday.


Cincinnati Bengals - Coach Dpanther95
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 35 Cincinnati Bengals (8-8) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (115-226) .337 .337 .337 
Team's Overall Record: 290-276 (.512)

Dpanther made strides last season as he finished (8-8) and was right there from start to finish chasing the wild-card spot. Dpanther is still the longest MOF veteran without a playoff appearance, and we're hoping that maybe this season is it. They had a pretty decent draft, grabbing LT Devae Reynolds who should get the opening day start. They did lose speedy RB Giovani Bernard and did not replace him. They also lost Reggie Nelson, who had a great season 36. In addition to that, they lost LT Andre Whitworth, LB AJ Hawk, and CB Leon Hall, all pretty big losses. The offensive line of the Bengals is a little below average, which is most of the league. As mentioned above, rookie Reynolds will gain alot of experience very fast at LT. Kevin Zeitler leads the ratings as an 89 rated RG. Andy Dalton is the cornerstone QB and captain of the offense, rated a 91 he's in the prime of his career. Runningback, like we said above, they lost their speedy Bernard, but they still have Jeremy Hill who will now get the bulk of the carries, we still expect Cincinnati to sign another back before the season starts. They have one of the best receivers and tight ends in football, with AJ Green (95 ovr) and Tyler Eifert (96 ovr) and that definitely helps. Their D-line is very strong as well, with Carlos Dunlap (90 ovr) and Geno Atkins (92 ovr). They have two solid linebackers in Rey Maualuga (86 ovr) and Vontaze Burfict (93 ovr), so their front 7 is very very solid. Their secondary could use some help, with their losses it left some holes at CB. Darqueze Dennard and George Illoka will try to lead a young secondary to some victories. This team is solid everywhere, arguably the most talented team in the division. Another season under the belt, and we think Dpanther could seriously contend for a wild-card spot and even the division if things fall his way.


Cleveland Browns - Coach Kalikarpenter
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Cleveland Browns (13-3) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: (17-15) .531 
Team's Overall Record: 239-333-1 (.418)

Kalikarpenter had himself a comeback season for the ages! After going 4-12 in Season 35, he turned things around immediately and went 13-3 last season. He did get bounced in the playoffs, but still had a successful season in our eyes. They didn't do too much in the off-season, but they did lose RE Paul Kruger who's rated a 97. You look at the Browns offensive line, and think this has to be the strongest points of the team. 95 at LT, 99 at LG, 89 at C. That's very good. The right side isnt as strong, but they are still respectable. Johnny Manziel will be at the helm once again with Derek Hart backing him up. Manziel had a very good season 36 and looks to repeat. Their runningbacks aren't very highly rated, but Ben Tate will be the starter once again as he had a overachieving season 36. Josh Gordon is the #1 WR on the team, and they have a very speedy Adaviyan Randall and the draft pick of Ja'Darius James should help their receiving corps as well. Gary Barnidge will be at TE. Their defensive line is pretty average, with 86 rated Quinton Coples at RE, and 83 rated Phil Taylor at DT. LB Barkevious Mingo rated an 85 leads the linebackers as Karlos Dansby and Christian Kirksey round out the starters. Their secondary is pretty pedestrian, with Derek Vincent at CB and Gipson at FS. These guys are returning just about all of their starters, and won 13 games last season. I believe they could easily win alot of games again as he learns his team even better than last season.


Pittsburgh Steelers - Coach Qpeezy35
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 205-135 (.603) 
Team's Overall Record: 311-256-1 (.548)

Coach Qpeezy struggled a bit last season, finishing 9-7 and still making it into the playoffs. That just goes to show you, Q can have a down season, but still be a playoff team. The Steelers made some solid moves in the offseason, including a late trade for Justin Blackmon which isn't pictured above. They lost Percy Harvin to a trade, but that was about all they lost. The offensive line of the Steelers is about average, with a 71 rated LG that is bringing down that line. I expect Q to make some sort of move to strengthen that spot. Obviously Big Ben is a staple of the offense, but he's had some injury problems late in his career, hence the addition of Ryan Mallet. Fingers are crossed that Ben can stay healthy, because if he doesn't this team will be doomed. Le'Veon Bell is arguably the best RB in the game, rated a 98 and can pretty much do anything asked of him. The signing of Brian Quick was to replace Percy Harvin, and like we mentioned above , the trade for Blackmon and a returning Sammie Coates makes their receiving corps very dangerous. Tomas Spain at TE is also starting to emerge as a very reliable target. On the defensive line, the Steelers are very good. Cameron Heyward, Tyrone Crawford, and Stephon Tuitt are a 3 headed beast that will give the rest of the division fits. The linebackers are also solid, with Lawrence, Timmons, and Dupree. Their corners, also a very solid group with Casey Hayward leading the pack. Mike Mitchell, the ageless wonder, and Shamarko Thomas are back in the safety position. The Steelers have a solid team, no doubt about it. But it all depends on the reliability of Ben Roethlisberger. If he can stay healthy, these guys will contend for the division. If not, they will be a huge disappointment.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC NORTH
I expect the Bengals and Ravens to be more competitive this season, giving the Browns and Steelers some good games. I think the division will be closer, and i believe it will be separated by 1 game. I'm leaning toward the Browns, only because he won 13 games last season, and could've won more if he didnt have 2 games simmed. The Steelers and Bengals will be battling for 2nd place, while the Ravens will be improved.

AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans - Coach Lhu27

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Houston Texans (8-8) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 109-62-1 (.637) 
Team's Overall Record: 277-295-1 (.484)

The Texans improved last season with an (8-8) record, the season before they were (6-10) and i think it was due to the fact that they drafted a decent QB in Brayden Talbott. They made some of the best moves ive seen any team make in the offseason, and they are ready to compete for a wild-card. Their offensive line was greatly improved when they traded for center Max Unger who is an 87 overall. Brown and Brooks on the left are 83 and 88 respectfully and the right side sees Quessenberry and Newton at 82 and 78. As we mentioned before Talbott is at the helm rated an 85, and has excellent throwing ratings in his 2nd season. He should lead this offense to some great numbers. No more Arian Foster as the Texans cut him loose and signed Latavius Murray, arguably the best back in free-agency. DeAndre Hopkins is back for Houston, rated at 96 making the rest of the receiving corps that much better. Tight End C.J. Fiedorowicz starts for the Texans, and is rated a 86. The defensive line is the strength of this team, with JJ Watt and the newly signed Calais Campbell, both rated 99 and 93. All three of their linebackers are rated an 86 individually in Whitney Mercilus, Brian Cushing, and Jadeveon Clowney. They signed Malcolm Butler in the off-season to help their corner issues, but they are still a little weak there. The signing of Micah Hyde was a very good one to solidify the FS position, and Derrick locke will be at SS. The Texans have a very solid team, and are no doubt the second best team in this division, the problem is beating the Jaguars, which is hard with any team.

Indianapolis Colts - Coach Srt4thatass
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Indianapolis Colts (2-14) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 2-20 (.091) 
Team's Overall Record: 288-283 (.504)

Coach Srt4thatass won his first two games of his career last season, while finishing 2-14. Things did not improve with the loss of Andrew Luck in free-agency, also Robert Mathis and Wes Welker both retired. The Colts took a beating in the off-season, however they signed basically every receiver that was on the market and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over the field general duties. The offensive line of the Colts is pretty solid with an 85 LT and 92 LG. Other than that, they are not solid at center or the right side of the line. As we mentioned before Fitzpatrick looks like he will be the starter in Indy with Colt McCoy as the backup, which is not very good. Their starting runningback is Ameer Abdullah coming back from last season. The addition of Eric Decker, Brandon LaFell, Marques Colston, and Harry Douglas at receiver gives that part of the team a complete makeover. Although all those receivers are 30 or older, they still give them some solid targets. They also signed Vernon Davis to backup Colby Fleener at Tight End. Their defensive line is in shambles as their top rated lineman is an 83 at DT in Danny Shelton. The signing of A.J. Hawk didn't do much to help this linebacking corps who are all rated 79 and lower. Vontae Davis is the lone bright spot in the secondary as right now they only have three cornerbacks. These guys are a mess, and it's going to be a shock if they even win a single game. I would do anything i can to get a young, talented QB in here to build around.. someone like Andrew Luck?

Jacksonville Jaguars - Coach Leetpenith
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Jacksonville Jaguars (16-0) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 52-13 (.800) 
Team's Overall Record: 291-281 (.509)

The Jaguars and coach Leet are back after an undefeated 16-0 regular season. Extremely impressive. However, like the Seahawks in Season 35, they fell short in the playoffs and were knocked out by the eventual Champion Bills. The Jaguars did not lose a single player to free-agency, think about that for a minute. Everyone is signed. However, they did gain an incredible cornerback in Josh Norman. The Jaguars offensive line is probably the weakest part of the team. 84, 79, 85, 89, and 72. I believe their backup center will be placed at right tackle, making things a little bit more solid, but their line really isn't that bad, so if that's the weakest part of the team.. yikes. Blake Bortles is back after his qasi MVP win on the console (Charles was league MVP). However Leet has been dangling Bortles on the trade market, wanting to start the newly signed Tim Tebow for some reason, so Bortles can't be happy about that. Corey Grant is back in the backfield, being the worst rated runningback that gains 1500 yards a season. He's rated a 68 but has 96 speed, and that's all that matters sometimes. WR Calvin Johnson leads a very good receiving corps, along with Robinson, Hurns, and Stills. Tight End Julius Thomas rated a 90 along with Marcedes Lewis (81) gives these guys two solid options there as well. Their defensive line, also very solid with Tamba Hali, Dante Fowler Jr., and Roy Miller at DT. Strong linebackers in Telvin Smith (86), Paul Posluszny (82) and Dan Skuta (80) makes their front 7 very good. Josh Norman completes their strong defense adding to probably the only weakness they had on defense. Sergio Brown at SS and the newly signed Tony Jefferson rounds up the safety positions and these guys are ready to roll. Coach Leet is one of the best coaches in the game, and with this team getting better adding Josh Norman, makes them even more dangerous. They can't be any better than they were last season and they didn't lose anything.

Tennessee Titans - Coach MrRoclo
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Tennessee Titans (4-12) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 106-97 (.522) 
Team's Overall Record: 283-291 (.493)

The Titans did not have a bounce back season that we thought he would as he finished (4-12). However, the draft pick of Bradley Lewis was compensation of the awful season. The Titans also signed K'Waun Williams and Ahtyba Rubin. In addtion they drafted CB  Taukei Lucas who should be a blue chipper as well. They did trade Jason McCourty to the Steelers for cap space and draft picks as well. The Titans offensive line is pretty decent, with no one under an 80 on the starting 5. The 89 rated LT Taylor Lewan is the brightest spot on the team only 26 years old. Marcus Mariota is the QB of this team, and if he can stay healthy, is very dangerous back there with his 88 speed. Dri Archer is the starting back rated at 73, but has a 96 speed, as we mentioned before, speed matters. Green-Beckham is the #1 WR on the team rated at 85, and Kendall Wright is a solid #2. Dorin Dickerson looks like the starting TE with newly signed David Ausberry backing him up. The defensive line is as solid as you can be, with Derrick Morgan, Jurrell Casey, and Terrance Knighton on the starting line. Their linebackers are also very solid with Avery Williamson (90), Mychal Kendricks (89), and Brian Orakpo (87). The loss of McCourty hurts but the signing of K'waun Williams will make that hurt less. Huff and Searcy round out the safety position. Their secondary is a little weaker than the rest of the defense, but i do like this team. They are a solid group, and if Roclo can get it together, i wouldn't be shocked if they challenged Houston for 2nd place in the division.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC SOUTH
This is the Jaguars division to lose, no doubt. Coming off an undefeated season, it's kind of hard to bet against him. I don't think he goes undefeated again, since that's extremely difficult. I do expect Houston to really challenge for a wild-card spot, and Tennessee could shock some people. The Colts might be the worst team in the MOF this season.

AFC WEST
Denver Broncos - Coach CheeferD

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Denver Broncos (12-4) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 124-86 (.590) 
Team's Overall Record: 303-271 (.528)

The Broncos looked like they were in trouble early last season, as they started 2-3. After that they went 10-1 and finished 12-4. Of course you have to take into consideration their final 5 games were forfeit wins, which is crazy, never the less they finished 12-4. They lost DeMarcus Ware to retirement, as well as LG Evan Mathis. They didn't really do much other than sign the best receiver on the market in Michael Floyd but they basically have the same team coming back. The offensive line of Denver is hurting a bit. The best lineman on the team is rated an 83 at LT, other than that we have 80, 67, 76, and 73 on the line. Not very good. BARROCCKKK Osweiler is coming back as the starter rated an 80 with 95 throw power. He can make any throw, but he will throw picks. C.J. Anderson is back in the backfield for the Broncos, and he's had himself two great seasons in a row, looking to make it three. The receiving corps of this team is crazy good. D. Thomas (95), E. Sanders (87) and now Michael Floyd at (85). Don't forget about Bennie Fowler who has a 93 speed. Cheef has been trying to trade Fowler, with no bites. Virgil Green will be the starting TE in Denver rated an 82. The defensive line has a hole where Ware used to be, but they still have Malik Jackson. Von Miller leads the linebackers, as more a hybrid DE/LB but rated a 99 overall regardless. Don't forget about Brandon Marshall (MLB) rated an 86 overall. Their corners are also extremely good, Chris Harris (96) and Aqib Talib (88) with Bradley Roby in the nickel position rated an 82. TJ Ward and Darian Stewart round out the safeties in this impressive secondary. The Broncos strength is their defense, no doubt about that. They can play man, zone, blitz uncontrollably and shatter your offense. That alone will win them double digit games.

Kansas City Chiefs - Coach Pauly2110
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Kansas City Chiefs (14-2) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 289-159 (.645) 
Team's Overall Record: 290-265 (.523)

Another season another failed attempt at a championship. Each season Coach Pauly becomes more and more frustrated that he cannot win the big one. 289 regular season wins, 4 super bowl appearances, and zero championships. It has to be weighing heavy. Regardless, another solid season for Coach Pauly's Chiefs last season as they went 14-2. They didn't lose any significant players, and wound up trading for a solid LT in Lane Johnson. Their entire offensive line is very good to be honest, no starters are lower than an 80 on that line. Alex Smith is back at QB and is as accurate of a QB as you can have for Pauly. Absolutely perfect for that west coast style offense that he runs. Jamaal Charles is one year older and his speed has taken a hit, now rated down at 89, but he is still a 93 overall. Jeremy Maclin and Hakeem Nicks are back at WR for Pauly's Chiefs as Travis Kelce sits at TE the #1 target for Smith. The defensive line of the Chiefs is very good with Jaye Howard (85), Allen Bailey (85), and Dontari Poe (93). Justin Houston has been one of the best linebackers in the MOF and is now rated a 98. Derrick Johnson will be backed up by newly signed Demeco Ryans. Also Aldon Smith is back for another season under Pauly at ROLB. Their two corners are also very good, in Marcus Peters and Sean Smith. Eric Berry is back at FS (90), and Ron Parker rounds it out at SS (78). Pauly could use a strong safety to replace Parker, but it really doesn't matter with him. He's a tactical genius. The "Coach" of the MOF. He knows ins and outs, and will scout you to the point of knowing what you will do before you know. I expect Pauly to win this division once again, and maybe take that next step and win the whole thing!

Oakland Raiders - Coach Sweettaz1
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Oakland Raiders (5-11) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 5-11 (.313) 
Team's Overall Record: 283-276 (.506)

Coach Sweettaz1 made his MOF debut last season right before we began the season. He had some bright spots in his 5 victories, including a come from behind win over Commish's Falcons. His offseason was very involved. Losing Latavius Murray, Justin Tuck and RG3. But they signed the top rated free-agent in Fletcher Cox. They also signed Barry Church and Keith Rivers. The offensive line of the Raiders is hurting at LT and that will really mean something if they want to protect Derek Carr. C Rodney Hudson is the top rated lineman at 91. They will need to improve that line if they want to compete with KC and Denver. Derek Carr is back as the starter, as an 88 rated QB. The loss of Murray was not addressed in the off-season, they did sign a familiar name in Darren McFadden but we're not sure if he will be the starter with the three youngsters behind him. Crabtree and Cooper round out a solid receiving corps and Zach Miller provides a big target for Derek Carr in the redzone and short yardage situations. With the addition of Fletcher Cox, as we mentioned above, it makes the defensive line very strong with Dan Williams at DT. Khalil Mack was on his way to Philadelphia but the trade was nixed by league offices, so he will be staying in Oakland, and that's probably a good thing because their other linebackers are nothing to shake a stick at. Their cornerbacks are hurting with the top guy rated a 78 in Miguel Carey. Barry Church was a much needed signing as their top rated secondary player. The secondary of the Raiders is not very good, they will really have to mix up their schemes to stop KC and Denver. That will prevent them from taking a giant leap forward this season.

San Diego Chargers – Mrosado11 ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record:
1-0 (1.000) 
Team's Overall Record: 254-315 (.446)

The San Diego Chargers welcomed coach Mrosado11 in Week 17 as their new head coach. They were one of the busiest teams in the offseason, with trades, and signings. Coach Mrosado did his best to improve this team as much as he possibly could. They traded Brandon Spikes and Ladarius Green but got back DeSean Stills and Ben Benwikere. They also signed Tavon Austin and Dee Milliner. They also had one of the best drafts out of any team, with the pick of LB Duane Byers. The offensive line of the Chargers is very weak at center, 69 overall, and that could provide a big problem. Other than that, they are solid 80's everywhere else. The signing of QB David Fales, might mean the end of Philip Rivers who's 35 years young, and has an 88 throw power. I expect that to be an open competition up until opening kickoff. Melvin Gordon will be the feature back in the backfield, with Kenjon Barner backing him up. The addition of Austin and Stills will help Keenan Allen who's one of the better receivers in the league. Dwayne Allen is the starting TE and is a beast. The defensive line of the Chargers is also very good, with Attaochu (88), Ingram (86), and Liuget (89). The speed of the linebacking corps, is also very impressive. The slowest guy on the linebacking team is at 79. Duane Byers, as mentioned above, is a blue chipper rated 86 with 85 speed. Jason Verrett heads the corners rated an 86, Brandon Flowers also rated an 81 still has it at 31 years old. Eric Weddle although he was on the block, is rated a 93 and still starting at FS. The Chargers will be an interesting team this season, they have alot of talent and speed, which is what coach Mrosado obviously was going for, but will that translate to a winning team? We will have to wait and see.

FINAL ANALYSIS: AFC WEST
Again, the Chiefs are the favorites in the west with Denver having the best defense. These two teams will be right there when its said and done. The Chargers roster is pretty good, but we don't know much about the coach, so that always makes it tough to predict how his team is going to fair. The Raiders can score, but they cannot stop anyone, so that will end up being their demise.



NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys - Coach Jdidd

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Dallas Cowboys (7-9) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 65-77 (.458) 
Team's Overall Record: 307-263 (.539)

Coach Jdidd had a down season after a great Season 35. We didn't see that coming. Now with the loss of Tony Romo, they are scrambling to find a replacement at QB. They also traded Greg Hardy for an aging Adrian Peterson, in a questionable move. They also lost RT Doug Free to retirement, and FS J.J. Wilcox. They did sign Reggie Nelson to replace Wilcox, and Geno Smith to compete for the starting job. The offensive line of the Cowboys is absolutely disgusting. Tyron Smith is a 99, La'el Collins is an 88, Travis Frederick is a 91, Charles Brown an 80, and Zack Martin a 99. That alone will win them games. QB is a big problem here, they drafted Reid Robinson, who will compete with Geno Smith, but this is going to be an issue for Dallas. Adrian Peterson looks like he will finish his career here in Dallas, and behind that line we might be able to see a resurgence season. Dez Bryant is obviously Dez Bryant, and Terrence Williams is a nice #2. Malcolm Lewis will be the tight end rated at 85. Defensive line is average at best for Dallas, with Randy Gregory off two monster seasons in a row starting at LE. Sean Lee was moved to ROLB, for Rolando McClain at MLB a few seasons ago, and that was the smart move. Orlando Scandrick is the top corner on the team rated an 87 and the signing of Reggie Nelson was huge with the loss of Wilcox, Sean Samuels rounds out at SS. The Cowboys are solid at alot of positions, but QB where it matters, is bad. It will really damper their progress but i still think they could be the 2nd best team in the division.

New York Giants - Coach TheTootsieRoll ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 3-9 (.250) 
Team's Overall Record: 296-273-1 (.520)

The Giants made his debut last season when he took over for Coach DC. He finished with a 3-9 record, and the Giants finished 3-13 overall. They lost their cornerstone at QB, Eli Manning to retirement. Then they traded Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Vikings for Jerick McKinnon. They also drafted Derek Phillip and signed RG3 to take over for Eli. The offensive line of the Giants, isn't that bad, kind of average. They obviously will be putting a LT at RT, since they have a 58 rated RT. Other than that, nothing great and nothing bad on the line. As we mentioned above, they lost Eli Manning so they're going to have a lot of issues at QB. I expect Phillip to be the guy since they drafted him, and RG3 and Nassib to back him up. McKinnon was a big trade for the G-men, he should start from Week 1 with Jennings and Vereen backing him up in a pretty solid backfield. Beckham obviously is still a threat and Randle is a good #2. Orson Charles will be the starting TE and that sums up the offense. Defensive line is above average for big blue as Ayers, Sheldon Richardson, and Hankins man up the positions. The linebacking corps is a little weak with Devon Kennard the top rated guy at an 82. Nico Johnson will be the MLB, and JT Thomas will be at ROLB. The loss of DRC hurts a bit, but they still have Amukamara and signed Antwan Cox. Antonio Cromartie is the starter at SS, we think, and that could be an issue. The defense is hurting a bit on this team, the linebackers and secondary is below average, and the QB is a big question mark. That will really hamper their season, given a surprise, these guys will struggle.

Philadelphia Eagles - Bengalsonly7
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Philadelphia Eagles (6-10) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 6-10 (.375)
Team's Overall Record: 271-300 (.475)

The Eagles come into the season with Coach Bengalsonly7 who finished 6-10 last season. They were 6-6 then lost 4 in a row which put them under for good, but they look to be ready this season. They did lose two big pieces of their team in LT Lane Johnson and RE Fletcher Cox, both rated in the 90s. They did sign SS Reshad Jones away from Miami, and traded for Percy Harvin. The Eagles offensive line is hurting, the loss of Lane Johnson was never addressed when they traded him to KC. So right now, they have a 73 rated LT. Their LG is their top rated lineman at 83 and other than that, we have 70 rated guys all over the place, this will be an issue going up against Dallas and Washington's pass rushers. Ryan Tannehill is the starting QB still, and his numbers were not very impressive last season with 18 TD and 25 INT. Ryan Matthews is a solid back, but was almost traded in the off-season for Khalil Mack, a trade that fell through in the league offices. They signed RB Roy Helu who might get some looks as well. Jordan Matthews and Percy Harvin lead the receivers and Jordan Cameron is the starting TE. The loss of Fletcher Cox opened up a spot and they signed Charles Johnson away from Carolina to replace him. They still have Brandon Graham and Bennie Logan and Cedric Thornton at DT. Their linebackers are solid 84's and above with Woodyard, Alonso, and Connor Barwin. Their secondary is in shambles, besides Reshad Jones, not a single player at CB or FS is rated above a 78. Their secondary and offensive line is not very good at all, and that will keep them from winning alot of games. They need to figure out a better option at QB as well, since Tannehill is not getting the job done.

Washington Redskins - Coach NYRedskins35
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Washington Redskins (11-5) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 261-122 (.681)
Team's Overall Record: 345-229 (.601)

Coach Betts is officially back. Betts made his record 7th Super Bowl last season, falling short for the 3rd time. These guys made big trades in the off-season, acquiring C.J. Mosely and Greg Hardy, wow. They lost Adrian Peterson, but they have Tevin Coleman waiting in the wings. The Redskins improved greatly to an already very good team. Their offensive line is headed by Trent Williams who is a 95 LT. Left guard and right tackle are a weakness on this team, as they are rated 74 and 76. Other than that they are pretty solid in the line. Kirk Cousins is back at the Qb spot, and had a very good season 36 with 37 TDs and 19 Ints, i expect another solid season from him. Tevin Coleman who was acquired from Atlanta last off-season will be the starter with the trade of Adrian Peterson, and the return of Matt Jones will spell Coleman. DeSean Jackson is the reigning MOF NFC MVP and will look to dominate once again. The signing of Coradelle Patterson also helps the offense. Jordan Reed is a very solid option at TE and will cause alot of mismatches. The defensive line is hurting a bit at DT, but i expect Betts to figure something out with the line before too long, but the addition of Greg Hardy is a game changer. Their linebackers are out of this world, with Ryan Kerrigan (90), Denario Mack (85) and , C.J. Mosely (91). Their corner backs are a little weak, with Adam Jones the 33 year old being the #1 guy. Their safeties are solid with the addition of Wilcox. The Redskins are the best team in the division, with the least amount of holes. Their secondary is a bit weak and that could hurt them, but with all the QB issues in this division, it might not matter much.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC EAST
This is the Redskins division. Romo and Eli both retired, and Tannehill just isnt very productive. Kirk Cousins is the best QB in this division couple that with Betts being the best coach, spells another division crown for the MOF Hall of Famer. I expect Dallas to figure it out and finish 2nd and maybe compete for a wild-card, and the Giants and Eagles to struggle.

NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears - Coach Natureboy

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Chicago Bears (5-11) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 16-34 (.320)
Team's Overall Record: 333-239-1 (.582)

The Bears had a very nice draft but didn't do too much in the off-season to improve this team. They lost Jay Cutler, but drafted Zach Woodson. They also lost Tight End Martellus Bennett and RB Matt Forte. Center Will Montgomery retired as well. Nature boy struggled a bit last season, finishing 5-11 but they got younger and that was what they wanted to do. Getting rid of Cutler and Forte sent a statement to the rest of the team. The offensive line of the Bears is solid, not great but not bad. LT will need to be improved upon, since there is a 78 rated guy starting. Rookie QB Zach Woodson looks to be the starter going into the season with Brian Hoyer being the backup. We don't know much about Woodson, except that he's from M. Valley St. The Bears have speedy runningbacks in Dunbar, Langford, and Taiwan Jones which is better than what they had in Forte. Alshon Jeffrey is still a beast at WR rated a 95. Kevin White comes in at #2 with a 94 speed. Their TE is a little weak in 31 year old Fred Davis with Joseph Fauria waiting in the wings. Pernell McPhee heads the defensive line, rated a 97 overall. Also Nick Perry on the other side is rated a 92, very solid one two punch. The linebackers are a bit weak, with the highest rated guy being a 82 in Sean Witherspoon and James-Michael Johnson. Kyle Fuller is rated an 82 as the #1 CB, and other than that the secondary doesnt crack anyone over an 80. Their secondary is the weakest part of the team no doubt. Linebackers aren't very strong either. That with a rookie QB leaves a lot of question marks for the Bears who did get younger and a bit faster, but that doesn't always mean wins.


Detroit Lions - Coach Jiggajp2121
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Detroit Lions (11-5) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 37-59 (.385)
Team's Overall Record: 296-279 (.515)

Coach JP is coming off his best season in his MOF career as he won the NFC North with an 11-5 record. The Lions also made some great moves in the off-season, grabbing Tight End Martellus Bennett from the Bears, trading for Brandon Spikes, and signing RG Louis Vazquez and RB Johnathan Stewart. They did lose WR Desean Stills, Stephen Tulloch and Geno Smith. Also Antonio Gates as expected, retired. The offensive line of the Lions is average, they have an 85 rated LT, which is solid but a 74 rated LG, 79 rated Center, and 84 and 80 on the right side. It will get the job done. Daryl Barker is back in his sophmore season rated at an 89 with a 93 speed, for a QB that is just unfair. Lamar Miller is coming off a huge season and will be back in the backfield for Detroit and backing him up with Stewart is a great 1 / 2 punch for these guys. TY Hilton is back after his season ending injury and will be the guy they go to. Tate and Moncrief round out a very solid receiving corps. Of course as we mentioned before, Bennett will be the starting TE rated at 92. Ezekiel Ansah is a 99 rated RE and he will cause alot of damage to opposing teams. Don't forget about Haloti Ngata rated a 90 at DT. The trade for Brandon Spikes washes out the loss of Tulloch, and DeAndre Levy makes this linebacking corps very good. Joe Haden and Darius Slay are at corner, and Quin and Ihedigbo are at safety rounding out a very solid secondary. This team is solid everywhere, and i believe are the best team in the division rating wise. They made some great off-season moves and will be ready to defending the division title.

Green Bay Packers - Coach Trigrdan
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Green Bay Packers (10-6) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 218-174 (.556)
Team's Overall Record: 271-302 (.473)

Trigrdan always finds a way to make the post-season as he won 10 games again last season. The Packers lost some key parts to their team in Kuhn, Jones, Hyde and Raji and they didn't really replace those guys with solid answers. However they did sign Stephen Tulloch, Delaine Walker, and drafted Deveon Lewis and Risean Anthony. The Packers oline is pretty solid, everywhere but LT. They have a 22 year old 78 rated guy who will most likely get the start, but that could spell some issues especially going up against someone line Ansah. Other than that, they are very good with 88, 80, 88, and 80 at LG, C, RG, RT. Aaron Rodgers is back in the prime of his career rated a 99 overall, and you really cannot get much better than him. Eddie Lacy will be the starter once again, and although he's not very fast, he's solid between the tackles and had a huge season 36. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones prove to be excellent targets for Rodgers as well as Delaine Walker at TE. The loss of Datone Jones at LE hurts but the draft pick of Risean Anthony will be grooming to replace him. Mike Daniels is an underrated RE at 96 overall. Linebackers are pretty good as well, with Junior Galette, Clay Matthews, and Stephen Tulloch heading the position. Sam Shields and Damarious Randall are the 1 and 2 CB's on the team, and Clinton-Dix and Burnett round out the safeties. Defensive line is hurting a bit, but other than that there are no real weak points on this team. There's not a lot of speed on offense, but that doesn't matter when you have someone like Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking your team. I wouldn't be shocked to see Green Bay upset Detroit and win the division.

Minnesota Vikings - Coach Krayzie300
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Minnesota Vikings (3-13)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 123-176 (.411)
T
eam's Overall Record: 236-333-3 (.415)

It's wonderful to see Coach Krayzie300 back in the MOF and with his Minnesota Vikings! Although he had a tough season going 3-13 he's happy to be back. They traded Jerick McKinnon, in a questionable move but did get back DRC. They also signed Giovani Bernard to take the place of Mckinnon, so that could be viewed as a wash. The signing of David Harris and Alan Branch were big ones for the defense as well. We start with the o-line, which is a little under average. LT Matt Kalil is the best lineman they have rated an 85. John Sullivan is the next best lineman, at center, rated 84. Other than that, we have 70's everywhere. Teddy Bridgewater is back at QB and rated an 88, very solid QB and ready to break out. Bernard is the starting back now that they traded McKinnon with Ratliff backing him up. Stefon Diggs is the #1 WR rated an 82, and other than that they are a bit weak at WR. The draft pick of Morgan Gordon at TE was very good, but Kyle Rudolph we believe will still be the starter at TE. Their defensive line is the shining spot of the team with Griffen (93), Floyd (92), and Joseph (90) starting. Anthony Barr at LOLB and rated a 90 is great, with David Harris and Courtney Upshaw the other starters. Their two CB's are also very good with DRC and Xavier Rhodes. Harrison Smith at FS (97 overall) arguably is the best at his position in the league. The defense of this team is the strong point, obviously, with some incredible talent. The offense could use some help, and that will be what holds them back. But i expect some upsets along the way because of that D.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC NORTH
It's a two team race in my opinion with the Lions and Packers. Their head to head games will determine the division champion. I expect the Vikings and Bears to get some wins but i really dont see them as a threat in this division.

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons - Coach Commissioner Jeff
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Atlanta Falcons (8-8) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 293-232 (.558)
Team's Overall Record: 272-301-1 (.475)

Commish had yet another average season finishing 8-8. However this was a different route to 8-8. They started 1-5 and finished the season 7-3 after they found out their weaknesses. The Falcons had a very good offseason as they traded for Darrelle Revis and Greg Olsen. They also signed Matt Forte and Brent Celek. They did lose Vernon Davis, David Harris, and traded Justin Durant. Their offensive line is above average, with Jake Matthews at LT, Andy Levitre at LG, Samson Satele at C, Jon Asamoah at RG, and Ryan Schrader at RT. Matt Ryan is back at QB and is another year older but is a solid option at QB. Devonta Freeman is a very good back only at 25 years old and rated an 88. Matt Forte is the secondary back and will be a very nice 2nd option. Julio Jones is arguably the best receiver in the MOF, and with the emergence of second year player BJ Taylor the Falcons have a nice receiving corps. Greg Olsen was a huge addition to the offense, as Brent Celek will be a solid #2 TE. Defensive line is solid, with Vic Beasley (92) at LE, Clayborn at RE, and Hageman at DT. The loss of Durant hurts a bit, but they are ready with young talented LB's in Andrew Cole, Paul Worrilow, the speedy Malcolm Smith, and Brooks Reed. The 1 and 2 CB's could be the best tandem in the MOF with Revis and Trufant. Couple that with Jairus Byrd and Kemal Ishmael, the secondary is the strongest part of this team. The defense is solid, the offense is solid. They don't have many weak spots, now it's just up to the coach to execute and these guys could really make a move this season.

Carolina Panthers - Coach WLJones228 ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 0-1 (.000)
Team's Overall Record: 271-302-1 (.473)

The Panthers signed coach WLJones228 and we've been hearing an awful lot of praise about this coach who comes from alot of other different leagues where he had success with the Panthers. The Panthers are WLJones' favorite team, and you know our motto here, if you're playing with your favorite team it makes you a dangerous coach. The offseason was very interesting for the Panthers, as they traded Josh Norman and Greg Olsen. They also lost Charles Johnson, Thomas Davis, and Johnathan Stewart to name a few. They ddi sign Jabaal Sheard, and traded for Ladairus Green. They also had a very good draft grabbing Damond Hill, Denadre Forrest, and Taz Gibson. The offensive line is not very strong for the Panthers, despite an 88 rated center, and 93 rated RG, they are weak at the tackles, this could prove costly. Cam Newton obviously is a star at QB, and with the history of WLJones we expect a huge year out of him. It looks like Forrest might be the starter at RB, but we wouldnt be shocked to see Raheem Mostert still get the call, since he has a 93 speed. Kelvin Benjamin is the #1 WR and other than that, there's not much to mention. The trade for Ladarius Green was a nice one as they are able to put a speedy TE on the field. Kawann Short at DT rated 93 is the leader of the D-line, and the pick of Damond Hill will replace Charles Johnson. The signing of Jabaal Sheard also makes this d-line very good. The linebackers are very speedy, with Shaq Thompson, Luke Kuechly, and Jordan Hicks all over 80 in that category.  Their corners are a weak spot, with the loss of Josh Norman they didnt really address that in free-agency. The draft pick of Taz Gibson will have to come through as he is now the #1 CB. The safeties will be Tre Boston and Heston Dean. The secondary is a weak spot, but other than that this team is pretty solid everywhere. It's hard to predict how a rookie will do in his first season, but alot of the league believe he could do some big things in Carolina.

New Orleans Saints - Coach Dtroitfan ®
Coach's Last Full Season: Rookie
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: Rookie
Team's Overall Record: 309-263 (.540)

The Saints are on their 3rd coach in 3 seasons, this time its Coach Dtroitfan. We don't know anything about Dtroitfan, we do know alot about the Saints. They are explosive, and they made some moves in the off-season. They signed FS Tyrann Mathieu, which was the biggest contract we've ever seen given out, 7 years 174 million. They also signed DT Brockers, RB Alfred Morris, and drafted WR Jason Riley. They traded Max Unger, their center, and lost Mark Ingram, Brian Quick, and Jahri Evans. The line of the Saints is hurting a bit with the loss of Evans and Unger, but they still have Terron Armstead and Tim Lelito, other than that everyone else is ranked in the 70s. Obviously Drew Brees is still a phenomenal QB rated 89 at 38 years old. Thomas Rawls is the fastest RB on the roster, but we're not sure if he's going to start or if it will be Alfred Morris, don't count out Branden Oliver either. Brandin Cooks is an absolute threat in every sense of the word, as the #1 WR of the Saints. Also the signing of Jason Riley, gives these guys some serious speed at WR. It also looks like Toilolo will be the starting TE. Defensive end Cameron Jordan is a beast rated 97, and Michael Brockers as we mentioned before is rated an 86. Their linebackers aren't a strong point, as they do have speed, but overalls aren't that wonderful. Peters (81), Anthony (81), and Duncan (82). The corners of the Saints are a little weak as well, with the top guy being a 81 overall in Janoris Jenkins. Tyrann Mathieu we all thought was going to be moved to CB, but it looks like he's staying at FS. Along with Kenny Vaccaro at SS, their safeties are very good. The Saints are a good team, they are fast, all over the field. Cooks and Riley are speedsters and going to be very hard to guard them. We don't know anything about Coach Dtroitfan and that will be the only reason we don't predict them to win this division.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Coach Jfon
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 163-171 (.488)
Team's Overall Record: 276-283 (.494)

The Buccaneers are back with Coach Jfon, and another 8-8 finish. Just like the Falcons, these guys are looking to take the next step forward. With two rookies in the division, this is the time to do it. The draft pick of Max Williams will prove to be a big one, and the addition of LB Justin Durant, and Jay Cutler should help out. The loss of Vincent Jackson to retirement, along with Richie Incognito and Brandon Weeden was a solid loss as well. The offensive line of the bucs is rated very low, with the highest guy at RG in Ali Marpet (87), the next highest rated lineman is a 79. Jameis Winston is the head of the offense once again, and Jay Cutler will be his backup. Doug Martin is the starting RB and Charles Sims looks to spell Martin when needed. Mike Evans is one of the most solid WR's in the MOF, and the draft pick of Max Williams, as we mentioned before will be a big addition to the offense. Austin Seferian-Jenkins at Tight End is something we all need to keep our eyes on, he's very good and underrated. The defensive line of the Bucs is also very good, with Vinny Curry (89), and Gerald McCoy (97) as the two beasts. Justin Durant was a nice addition from Atlanta at LOLB along with Levonte David at ROLB. Alterraun Verner and Reggie Murray provide a good solid 1 / 2 at CB. But safety isn't a strong suit for Tampa as they start a 79 and 77 at those positions. The Buccaneers have a solid team. The offensive line and secondary would be their weakest points, but Jfon knows what he's doing with these guys. I expect them to have a very good season and give a push for wild-card.


FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC SOUTH
This division features two rookies, and that could go either way. Either they are both juggernauts, or they are both average. We just don't know. That's why we have to go with the most talented team in the division, and we believe that's the Falcons. The Bucs are also going to be a tough team to deal with. The Panthers we know he can score, but he also turns the ball over alot. And the Saints, we just dont know anything about him.

NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals - Coach Hovadagod_23

Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Arizona Cardinals (3-13) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 77-182 (.297)
Team's Overall Record: 222-350 (.388)

The Cardinals are an absolute mess. They lost so much talent it's just incredible. Tyrann Mathieu could have been resigned, but they decided to let him go. Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald both retired. Then they lost Calais Campbell and Michael Floyd as well. They currently only have 39 players on their roster, and i dont know what they're going to do to fill those spots. The left side of their offensive line is very good, 94 and 99 rated. However their center is rated a 65, that's going to be an issue. They drafted a QB in the draft, Jamerson Collins who will get the start, and hopefully he can make a difference. Mark Ingram is the top rated RB as they just picked him up from Philadelphia. David Johnson might get the start though. John Brown is the top rated WR at an 85, other than that they are weak at that spot. Jermaine Gresham is also a solid TE rated at 86. Their defensive line is atrocious with no one rated over a 77. Their linebackers, also very poor with no one higher than a 75. They have Patrick Peterson at CB, nothing more than that. And they have Antonio Allen and Deone Bucannon at safeties. These guys are hurting, as you can see. They need to fill their roster, and improve it, which i dont think they can do with just free-agents. I would start shopping Patrick Peterson for some picks or a package of players.


St. Louis Rams - Coach SoSickin432
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 St. Louis Rams (5-11)
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 5-11 (.313)
Team's Overall Record: 275-300 (.478)

Coach SoSickin is ready for his sophomore campaign as he finished 5-11 with the Rams last season. Tough season and a very tough division is cause for their record. They didn't do much in the off-season, except draft 3 pretty good players. They did lose Brockers, Chris Long, Tavon Austin, and Stedman Bailey, which is a lot to lose for a 5-11 team. Their offensive line has a lot of below average players, after Greg Robinson at LT, they are no players rated above 78. Zac Parker looks to be the starting QB once again, with Nick Foles as the backup. Which isn't very appealing. Todd Gurley will be the man once again, probably getting 75 to 80% of the offensive touches. Kenny Britt is the #1 WR in a lackluster receiving corps that lost Austin and Bailey in the off-season. Jared Cook is the starting TE which should be the #2 target after Gurley. LeVeon Morgan was drafted to replace Chris Long, and was a very nice pick. Robert Quinn is a 99 rated RE and Aaron Donald is a 99 rated DT, that's just unfair for opposing offensive lines. Their linebackers are also very good with Ogletree, Laurinaitis, and Russell. Their corners are average with EJ Gaines and Erick Hubbard as the 1 and 2. McLeod and McDonald round out the safety positions. The Rams have some question marks on offense, but their defense is extremely impressive. Their front seven could compete with anyone, and in this division that could help.

San Francisco 49ers - Coach BigDre245
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 San Francisco 49ers (13-3) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 150-73 (.673)
Team's Overall Record: 316-258 (.551)

Coach Dre finished 13-3 last season, and had a huge season. It was a bit overshadowed by Beast's 14-2 season, but it cannot be overlooked. The 49ers had a decent off-season after losing Nick Folk to retirement. They signed Dan Carpenter, who is a very good veteran kicker. Also signed Kurt Coleman and Eric Kendricks. The left side of their offensive line is very strong with 85/87 rated LTs and LGs. Their right side isnt as great, but they are average to say the least. Sam Bradford looks to be the starter once again, and he's a big below average as Dre is looking to make some moves to upgrade that position. Carlos Hyde is the starter once again, and is a very strong back. Casey Guy was drafted as a speed guy, so we might see some of him too. Brandon Marshall is back and a year older but still a very good #1. DeVante Parker is their slot guy and speed guy and will be a threat once again. Their tight ends are very good too, with Craig Stevens and Vance McDonald. Don't forget the signing of Ed Dickson too. Their defensive line is hurting a little, with their highest rated guy an 81 in Ian Williams. Linebackers are good, with Novorro Bowman, Eric Kendricks, and Aaron Lynch. Their corners are pretty weak, and they will need to upgrade that asap to defend the Seahawks amongst others. Eric Rieid, Bethea, and Kurt Coleman very good safeties. The 49ers are the 49ers, Coach Dre knows what he's doing and will have these guys right there when its said and done.


Seattle Seahawks - Coach Beast10790
Coach's Last Full Season: Season 36 Seattle Seahawks (14-2) 
Coach's Overall Regular Season Record: 145-56 (.721)
Team's Overall Record: 305-265-1 (.535)

Coach Beast is 30-2 in his last two regular seasons. That is just incredible, he is the model of consistency and his team is absolutely insane. The addition of Paul Kruger, which they didnt even need, was impressive as well. They lost Kevin Williams, and Brandon Mebane so i'm sure they're going to look to put Kruger at DT. Seattle's offensive line is very very good, with 92, 91, 78, 85, and 84 as the starters. Russell Wilson is a 95 rated QB, and they drafted Ronald France who is coming into his rookie season as an 80. I'm sure he will be shopped next offseason. Marshawn Lynch is back for most likely his last season, but CJ Spiller will be the starter as he is just faster. Their receivers are the weakest part of the team, and that's saying alot because Kearse and Doug Baldwin are very good. Durham, Lockett, and Richardson provide some speed after the 1 and 2 WRs. Jimmy Graham is a 95 rated TE, and had 17 touchdown catches last season. Their defensive line looks like a fantasy team with Bennett (94), Avril (93), Kruger (90). Their linebackers, rated KJ Wright (91), Wagner (94), and Irvin (88). Their corners, Sherman (94), Gilmore (88), Thomas (96) at safety, and Duke Williams as an (80). These guys are unfair to say the least. Beast is arguably one of the best MOF Coaches of all time, and he has easily the highest rated team in the MOF. He's going to win alot of games.

FINAL ANALYSIS: NFC WEST
Seattle might go undefeated again, but it's kind of difficult to predict that. I think its his division, and 49ers will definitely be the 1st wild-card team. The Rams are just in a tough division to compete, and the Cardinals could lose every game..
