I'll buy one of those teams winning a playoff game.

Buy or sell: Christian Hackenberg is the Jets starting QB to start the season.

Predictions: The Raiders represent the AFC in the Super Bowl and the Jets will be very, very bad.

I buy Hack being the starter, McCown will get hurt. It is 100% probability.

Buy or Sell: Sam Bradford not repeating the type of yr he had last yr. Probably ends up hurt.

Predictions: Both the Ravens and Bengals will be under .500 this season with the Ravens being deadlast in the AFC North on pace for a top 5 pick.

Buy Sam Bradford not repeating the type of year he had last but selling he ends up hurt.

Buy or Sell: Aaron Rogers sucks. Ends up injured and/or having the worst stats for his career.

Predictions: Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers both go .500 this season.

Sell, although I have predicted this for the last 2 seasons so naturally the year I bet against him is when he will succeed.

Edit: I will also sell your reverse jinx prediction [emoji23].


Buy or sell: The Buccaneers take the next step this season and win at least one playoff game.

Prediction: Carson Wentz looks similar to his play from the 2nd half of last season and the Pats return to the SB.

Sell the Bucs winning at least one playoff game. They do make the playoffs but go 1 and out.

Buy or Sell: Aaron Rogers has his worst career stats for a season.

Prediction: Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers both go .500 this season.

Making this public, BigDaddy and I have an avatar bet. Ravens finish higher in AFC North, he wins. Browns finish higher, I win. Avatar from end of season through SB on the line.

Sell on Rodgers. Cobb, Nelson, and Adams are a great trio plus the addition of Bennett will be nice.

Buy or sell: Leonard Fournette will not win offensive rookie of the year.

Sell on Wentz. Predictions: Brady wins MVP at 40, Kizer looks like a starting QB.

Buy or Sell: a team will win the Super Bowl that hasn't won in the last 20 years.

I think Bradford has a great season. Much better than last. Historic RB class, may have 4 of the top 10 backs in the NFL as early as next year.

Bump. Insignificant might be too generous. Peterson has been absolutely worthless.
