NFL Award Predictions

The NFL's regular season is coming to a close so it's time to for players to be awarded for what they’ve accomplished this season. I went through all the individual awards and predicted winners.

MVP: Tom Brady

Despite being suspended for four games to start the season Brady stepped right and played better than ever. Posting a 25-to-2 TD-to-INT ratio in eleven games and losing just once to the Seattle Seahawks. Even at the 39 years old Brady has continued to perform better than ever.


Offensive Player of The Year: Matt Ryan

Matty Ice has led a balanced Falcons offense to a first place finish in the NFC South. Ryans has a career-best 115.5 passer rating which leads the league, is third in passing yards (4,613) and third in touchdown passes (34).


Defensive Player of The Year: Khalil Mack

Mack is a one-man wrecking crew and has single-handedly won the Raiders a few games this season. He has 11 sacks, one interception, five forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries.


Offensive Rookie of The Year: Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott's top competition for this award is his own quarterback Dak Prescott but I think he edged him out. Elliot leads the league in rushing with 1,631 yards and is just 177 yards shy of setting the all-time rookie rushing record.


Defensive Rookie of The Year: Jalen Ramsey

Ramsey has been one of the few bright spots for the Jaguars this season. The No. 5 pick has proven that he's a shutdown corner with 61 tackles, 13 passes defended, one forced fumble, and two interceptions this season.


Comeback Player of The Year: Demarco Murray

Usually, the player that wins this award was injured the season prior but Murray just had a down year with Eagles after signing there as a free agent. In 2014 he led the league in rushing but last season he fell all the way down to 27th. This season he's bounced backed with 1,266 rushing yards on 282 carries and nine rushing touchdowns.


Coach of The Year: Jason Garrett

This is the easiest award to predict the have had the Cowboys have had the best record in the NFL for most of the season and the best team coach usual wins this award. Garrett has kept his young team in check and has them playing at their best just in time for the playoffs.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
