Here’s mine:

 

NFL:

1.       Saints will not make playoffs.

2.       One last placed team from NFC will win division, either Lions or Cardinals.

3.       Each team in AFC North will have at least 6 wins.

 

Bills:

1.       Will lose to Jets in opener but end up 12-4 or better, beating KC week 6 on the way and Pats twice.

2.       Ed Oliver will have 13+ sacks.

3.       Bills will have 5 players with 800+ scrimmage yards including Knox and offense will average 26+ points/game.

The Bills might get a 40 burger game 1 with at least 6 sacks.

Clyde Edwards Helaire will be the #1 fantasy pick for the next 4+ years after he becomes the top fantasy player in 2020.  
 

I also predict the season will be cancelled.  ??

If the season is cancelled wouldn't it be a multi way tie for top fantasy player?

My safe prediction is Josh Allen Top 15 QB

 

My Bold is Top 10. I think our offense will be on fire this year!

 

How about even bolder Top 5?

NFL Wide:

    -Houston and SF and Tampa miss playoffs

    -Ravens make it only as a wild-card

    -No "worst-to-first" division winners this year (first time in a while)

    -No mid-season hiatus (which another poster says will happen).  Because all Qbs on playoff-caliber teams will go the extra mile to stay virus-free

 

Bills:

    -Edmunds gets more DPOY votes that Tre.  (league tired of talking Tre up)

    -"State Farm" will start at least 1 game

    -Zack Moss will get more snaps than Singletary in the 2nd half (whatever that may be) of the season.

 

 

NFL

-TB is in danger of making it 3 for 3 if they don't pick it up on the first prediction

-Ravens will be lucky to make it at all.

-I believe this is true so far

-Definitely true....NFL ain't stopping for noone!

 

Bills

-Edmunds...not quite...shoulder injury hampered him a lot early on.

-"State Farm?  Fromm?  Nope...unless Week 17 is meaningless

-This was starting to happen until Moss dropped the ball in the 49ers game...interesting to see if it continues to happen.

The WFT has a chance of going worst to first. They’re the only ones with a shot though.

NFL wide

  • The Cleveland Browns not only return to the playoffs for the first time since 2002 but they go on and win a playoff game

Liking this one a LOT. The Browns are the most dangerous possible wildcard team IMO.

  • The Dallas Cowboys will have the best regular season record in the NFC and will secure the #1 seed

Major Miss.

  • Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees all call time on their career and retire after the season

Rivers and Brees almost certainly are done after 2020. Who knows on Ben.

  • The Seattle Seahawks miss the playoffs and Pete Carroll steps down

Early on I thought I might have been way off on this. The Seahawks will make the playoffs.... but I think their issues are now very apparent to all.

 

Bills specific

  • Stefon Diggs leads the AFC in receiving yards and is voted a first team all pro

He is currently third in AFC receiving yards behind Hill and Kelce. Has a chance at all pro thought probably 2nd team rather than 1st.

  • AJ Epenesa finishes the season with more sacks than Mario Addison

AJ would have to make up the ground with at least 3.5 in the final four games. Seems unlikely. Think I was much closer to Addison's number than the majority though. I said he wouldn't have more than 5 he currently has 4.

  • Dawson Knox throws a touchdown pass

Still possible.

  • Ed Oliver leads the Bills in sacks with 9

Nope.

 

Not gonna match the 5 out of 8 I nailed in 2017.

Mariota replaces Carr in Vegas

Good afternoon folks, the 2020 season is less than a month away and so it is time for some BOLD predictions. We are after at least TWO Bills specific and at least TWO non-Bills bold predictions for the season ahead. I always do 8 (4 and 4) and going back to 2017 I nailed 5 of my 8 bold predictions.... I haven't got close to that since.... but here is this year's attempt:

 

NFL wide

  • The Cleveland Browns not only return to the playoffs for the first time since 2002 but they go on and win a playoff game
  • The Dallas Cowboys will have the best regular season record in the NFC and will secure the #1 seed
  • Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees all call time on their career and retire after the season

Bills specific

  • Stefon Diggs leads the AFC in receiving yards and is voted a first team all pro
  • AJ Epenesa finishes the season with more sacks than Mario Addison
  • Dawson Knox throws a touchdown pass
  • Ed Oliver leads the Bills in sacks with 9

 

So there are mine, flame away!!!

 

Let's hear yours.

 

I am up to two correct.... I think the Ben, Phil and Drew one has a chance still....

I think I’ll claim 4-for-4 now.  Anybody see Josh falling out of the top 5?

Wow, Gunner, this was quite a mixed bag.  The Browns and Diggs predictions were major hits (and plenty bold), but the Cowboys, Seahawks, and other Bills takes were as cold as ice!

 

That said, you still have as good a record as most draft gurus.

Pah... you wait and see we will win the Superbowl on a Dawson Knox touchdown pass!!!

 

Oliver was way off, as was Dallas. AJ was a bit off but I was right with what I said consistently in pre-season about Mario. He is diminished as a player. I actually think on Seattle they ended the season more like I expected them to play but obviously they had the major hot start. I am minded to repeat that exact prediction next year.
