Final yr with Stink’s assist we efficiently predicted the 2022 Tremendous Bowl champs so let’s go B2B similar to the Chiefs ought to!
We additionally appropriately picked the Jets to eclipse their over/below complete and BOLDLY declared them because the NFL sleeper crew of the yr.
Mark additionally predicted what we want for the final word homegate or tailgate – and he nailed that as effectively. For 2023 Stink Sez purchase a TV from LG and get all of your gameday grub from Butterball and Carvel.
How can we make extra profitable NFL predictions for 2023? The identical method we did final yr – by consulting FOX NFL knowledgeable commentator Mark “Stink” Schlereth.
As a person who received Tremendous Bowls as a participant for groups in each the AFC and NFC, there isn’t a bias right here. However, Stink thinks the AFC is clearly superior once more in 2023.
Let’s reduce proper to it, Mark; what closing 4 groups will emerge from the slog of a full season to make the convention championships and in the end the Tremendous Bowl?
“Nicely, you get an damage and it adjustments every thing – it’s a season of ebbs and flows. I nonetheless assume you must say Kansas Metropolis is the category of the AFC. Patrick Mahomes is the GOAT.
Cincinnati, everyone loves Joe Burrow and I feel he’s an outstanding quarterback. However there’s one crew I like much more. I like Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. I’ll let you know what; I’d in all probability bounce Cincinnati from the AFC Championship and put the Jets in there versus KC.
As a result of that’s a high 5 protection final yr with out nice quarterback play. Now you throw nice quarterback play in there and the complimentary nature of soccer, that Jets protection could possibly be the perfect protection within the NFL. And that Jets offense has a lot potential.
For the NFC, I’ll go together with the 2 finest rosters in my thoughts – the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers. A repeat of final yr’s NFC Championship sport.
No dialogue of 2023 NFL predictions is full with out speaking sleeper groups. I feel Seattle is a big potential sleeper crew. I did their final preseason sport (as an announcer) and I hung round follow. They’re gifted. They’re bodily. Their backend on protection is lengthy, lean, quick.
I feel New Orleans with Derek Carr are a sleeper crew. I feel they win the NFC South going away. There’s not as a lot problem there for them. These are my two favourite sleeper groups that I received for you.”
What do you consider the NFC North in 2023/2024?
“That division is simply attention-grabbing as a result of pretty much as good as Minnesota was final yr they misplaced within the Wild Card spherical. Nobody actually believes in them. I feel everybody has excessive expectations for Detroit, however let’s not neglect that they’re DETROIT.
Can they overcome the unhappy sack dropping that has gone on there? I like Dan Campbell, I feel he is a superb coach. I’m selecting Detroit to win that division.
I like Jordan Love. Final yr I used to be speaking to Aaron Rodgers about Love’s development and Aaron stated was difficult him to exit in follow and take that problem on his personal shoulders. He received an opportunity to play final yr and performed effectively. I feel Love goes to be a kind of guys that’s sneaky good this yr.”
Is Bill Belichick on the new seat? If he doesn’t flip it round this season, is he a possible new future?
“I feel he could have not less than yet another yr. However if you happen to have a look at the remainder of that division – the Payments must be good once more, Tua Tagovailoa and all of the weapons in Miami if he can keep wholesome, the Jets who I like – I feel the Patriots are clearly the 4th finest crew.
The massive factor from final yr was the regression of Mac Jones. All of us noticed it coming. How do you rent a particular groups coach and a defensive coordinator to be “co-offensive coordinators?”
They’ve rectified that and get Bill O’Brien again within the constructing. Having that man to mentor your QB, a man that mentored Tom Brady, I feel Mac Jones is so much higher than individuals give him credit score for and I anticipate an enormous bounce again season. However I don’t assume Invoice B will get fired even when they don’t compete for a playoff spot in 2023.
What’s the perfect offensive line in soccer?
I’d give it to the Philadelphia Eagles. An enormous bodily group that may completely snot-clobber you and run it proper down your gullet but in addition athletic sufficient to get guys exterior.
“Do not forget that film with “Globogym?” The entire “we’re higher than you and we all know it.” That’s the Eagles on the subject of their offensive line.”
Who can be hoisting the Lombardi in February?
“I’ll go together with the Jets and Aaron Rodgers. I’ve much less hatred for the Jets than I do for the Chiefs, as a Denver man. So I’ll take the Jets.”
NFL Predictions 2023 – Common Season and Playoff Outcomes
AFC East
Jets
Dolphins
Payments
Patriots
Random Notes: Bear in mind when the 2022 NFL season started, each knowledgeable with a microphone and an web connection was screaming how unstoppable the Payments have been going to be? I’ve seen that very same sentiment starting to emerge as we enter the 2023 NFL season. However I don’t purchase it. Right here’s why:
No method Josh Allen doesn’t get damage. Yearly they are saying they’re going to “run the ball extra” then they don’t assist this by way of play calls or personnel. 2023 isn’t any completely different. James Cook, Damien Harris, Latavius Murray? Not a believer.
Plus, who’s their #2 WR? Solely a matter of time earlier than Ken Dorsey panics and Allen is trying 40+ per sport. Additionally, the protection isn’t higher, whereas all the division has improved. I additionally assume getting their tooth kicked in at dwelling within the snow to finish the 2022 season nonetheless lingers. So far as NFL predictions 2023, we’re predicting the Payments don’t make the playoffs.
Dolphins are able to roll with what might be the perfect offense in soccer, due to Tua’s ju-jitsu coaching. Oh and ya, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. I don’t assume it issues who totes the rock or in the event that they introduced Sammie Smith or Bernie Parmalee out of the remaining dwelling.
I like The Hoodie aka Billy Snapface, however they’re ending in final place. In the event that they have been within the AFC South or NFC South, they’d win 3 extra video games and be in prime playoff place.
The Jets are the perfect crew on this division. Imagine the hype.
AFC West
Chiefs
Chargers
Raiders
Broncos
Random Notes: Chiefs have received this division 8 years in a row and this would be the ninth.
I do know the Chargers are an attractive choose, once more, however a Charger is gonna Charger. Simply have a look at the best way they blew the sport towards JAX final yr. Nonetheless a playoff crew and possibly this yr they win a playoff sport.
The Raiders are screwed up internally. Jimmy Good-looking will get damage. Offered offense, dangerous protection. 7 win ceiling and the way lengthy till Davante Adams calls for a commerce?
My sentiment on the 2023 Broncos stays precisely the identical because it did in 2022:
“I’ve zero confidence within the Broncos. I’m firmly entrenched within the “Russell Wilson will get an excessive amount of credit score for his success” camp. What has he received with out the Legion of Increase? Nicely I’ll inform ya, one playoff win in 3 tries. And, I’m bored with seeing him and Ciara all over the place like the brand new Energy Couple. She isn’t a generational singer and he isn’t a generational QB.”
AFC South
Jaguars
Titans
Colts
Texans
Random Notes: Would anybody care if there was an earthquake and this division fell all the best way to the middle of the earth and melted in its molten core (allegedly). We’ll hold this temporary: Jaguars win these division.
The Titans, Colts, and Texans mixed to win 7 video games final yr. And none of them received any higher heading into 2023.
AFC North
Bengals
Ravens
Steelers
Browns
Random Notes: In hindsight this division was higher than anybody anticipated a yr in the past, with 3 groups ending above .500.
The AFC North performs towards the AFC South and NFC West this season. Each will vie for worst division within the NFL in 2023-24. So you must see a Wild Card crew out of this division, possibly two.
The Bengals are the cream of the division. After a Tremendous Bowl look and an AFC Championship sport look within the final two seasons, is that this the yr?
The Ravens are the Ravens and can sleepwalk into 10 wins like at all times.
Now that the QB saga between Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky has been settled and KP has had a full offseason as unquestioned starter, they may not less than equal 9 wins from a yr in the past.
The Browns are worse than they have been a yr in the past. Except Mr. Therapeutic massage performs like Mr. Watson of 2021.
NFC East
Eagles
Cowboys
Giants
Redskins
Random Notes: Surprisingly in 2022, every crew on this division completed over .500. Neither the Giants or the Eagles can sneak up on anybody this yr, although. As a lot as I need to say the Giants can slay the dragon of the Cowboys, they only can’t appear to do it when it issues.
Talking of Jerr-ah, who’s Dak going to throw to other than CDC Lamb (#COVID)? There is no such thing as a clear second weapon within the passing sport. Jake Ferguson? And, Tony Pollard‘s leg damage was gnarly and fewer than a yr in the past.
Irrespective of the place Ron Rivera goes, save for one season with Cam Newton, QB unsteadiness follows.
NFC West
49ers
Seahawks
Rams
Cardinals
Random Notes: The 49ers are wanting additional horny this yr.
The massive query right here is which crew could have a worse document – the Cardinals or the Rams? Each odor like 4-win ceilings.
NFC North
Vikings
Packers
Lions
Bears
Random Notes: Packers are nonetheless the creem of this division till confirmed in any other case. I simply have this horrible feeling they may make the playoffs. And if you happen to have a look at the final 25+ years, why wouldn’t they?
For as a lot love the Lions and Bears are getting, the perfect crew on this division is the Vikings.
Lions & Bears both suck – and I’m a Bears fan.
NFC South
Saints
Falcons
Buccaneers
Panthers
Random Notes: Derek Carr is the lacking hyperlink. If there’s one factor I bear in mind about his time in Oakland…err Vegas its the entire drops from his wide receivers. Yearly, regardless of who it was. That beats a person down. He’s primed to show the Raiders fallacious. And he really has expertise on offense and a stable D.
The Falcons get me all tingly due to Arthur Smith. He doesn’t take any crap. Nice younger core on offense – Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, Drake London. All of it boils right down to Desmon Ridder and I feel he’s up for the problem. I’m predicting 10 wins. @ me in February.
Bucs are dying slowly, Panthers not ascending quick sufficient to maintain tempo.
2023 NFL Playoffs Predictions:
In case you forgot the playoff format has modified. There are a complete of 14 groups–seven from every convention. The highest seed from every convention has a bye to the divisional spherical. It was once high two seeds, now only one in every convention.
