GAME OF THE WEEK PREDICTION

What: Seahawks at Chiefs

Where: Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO

When: Friday, Aug. 21, at 8 p.m. ET

Watch: N/A

Betting Line: Chiefs -3

Last week the Kansas City Chiefs made easy work of the Cardinals and their opponent this week, the Seattle Seahawks let a win against the Broncos slip through their fingers. All eyes should be on Seahawks Kick Returner and all around speed demon Tyler Lockett after last weeks performance. Also Seattle running back and former second-round pick Christine Michael has been growing on me and could be Marshawn Lynch’s successor. Although he has struggled his first few years in the league he needs to show the pure athleticism that convinced Seattle to take such a high pick on him. On the other side of the spectrum a player to watch for the Chiefs is backup Quarterback Chase Daniel a veteran the can still sling the football with ease and has shown talent. If he continues to impress look out for the possibility of a team with a injured starter to reach out to Kansas City for a midseason trade. Marcus Peters, the Kansas City rookie has shown great development and it will be interesting to see him improve. The Pick: Chiefs 23, Seahawks 16

Thanks for checking in for this article! It might be a short one but a fun one as I go over my predictions for the 5 Major Awards and the Super Bowl.

Offensive Rookie Of The Year

Melvin Gordon, RB Chargers

Why: I think Gordon helps to take the Chargers from one of the worst running teams in the league to one of the top 15 and maybe even into the playoffs.

Defensive Rookie Of The Year

Leonard Williams, DL Jets

Why: Williams is literally a beast on the Defensive Line, even drawing comparisons to JJ Watt. The one good thing to take away from the Sheldon Richardson situation is that he will get more playing  time.

Offensive Player Of The Year

Adrian Peterson, RB Vikings

Why: I think Adrian Peterson will have a fire put on under him after missing last year due to suspension. Minnesota is my sleeper team for this year and Peterson is the main reason why.

Defensive Player Of The Year

Richard Sherman, CB Seahawks

Why: At this point the award is just between Watt and Sherman and with Sherman being on a top tier team I will give the nod to the best Corner Back in the game (sorry Darrelle Revis)

Most Valuable Player

Andrew Luck, QB Colts

Why:  If you saw my AFC Record predictions you saw that I predicted the Colts to go 13-3, the best record of any team and this QB is the main reason why

SUPER BOWL PREDICTION

And finally, the moment you all (well some of you at least) have been waiting for my Super Bowl prediction! In 2013-14 I correctly predicted the AFC, NFC, and Super Bowl Champion. Ok, so it’s between the Packers and the Patriots and my prediction is…..

Packers 34, Patriots 27

GAME OF THE WEEK PREDICTION

What: Packers at Patriots

Where: Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA

When: Thursday, Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET

Watch: NFL Network

Betting Line: Patriots (-3)

Football is completely back this week with all 32 teams in action including this potential Super Bowl preview. Star Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will play a couple of series’ for the Packer, while the Patriots will be without Tom Brady which means backup QB Jimmy Garoppolo will get a lot of time, possibly even a whole half which will be good practice for the first four games of the season if Brady’s suspension is upheld. Another thing to watch for the Pats is their Cornerback situation now that Darrelle Revis left in Free Agency. Malcolm Butler, Logan Ryan, Tarell Brown, and Bradley Fletcher all will get some time in that position battle. I would also watch rookie Malcolm Brown now that Vince Wilfork is gone. While the focus will be on the Patriots QB situation the Packers also have a battle for the #2 spot between Scott Tolzien, Matt Blanchard and rookie Brett Hundley. The Packers will start fast but in the end Jimmy Garoppolo will overcome the Packers defense. In the end My Pick is: Patriots 27, Packers 14.

GAME OF THE WEEK PREDICTION

What: Vikings vs Steelers

Where: Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio

When: Sunday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ET

Watch: NBC

Betting Line: Vikings (-3)

Football is back people… finally. Well, preseason football anyway. But I figured I should throw up an article predicting this years Hall of Fame Game and while most fans will have to wait another week to see their teams put on pads, for Vikings and Steelers fans it comes a little early. And while we are unlikely to see stars like Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger, and Adrian Peterson we should get a look at Teddy Bridgewater and rookies Trae Waynes and Bud Dupree. Because the Vikings, being a younger team will have more starters playing I will say for my prediction: Vikings 20, Steelers 16
