The NFL season is 100 days away, which means we have precious little time remaining to speculate on the future once games actually get going Sept. 8, when the Rams host the Bills in the season opener. And, really, isn’t saying loudly what might happen and then disappearing infinitely more enjoyable than just watching events unfold in real time? Here, somewhere between informed speculation and Rich Strike–ian long-shotting, is our sweet spot.
To memorialize our final days of blind-take-having, we present to you a master list of bold predictions for the upcoming season, the size and heft of which you normally would need to seek at a wholesale retailer. We are all about bang for the buck here at The MMQB, so consider this a scorecard of sorts for the season ahead.
