Predicting Every Playoff Team For The 2018 NFL Season

Let's see how wrong I end up being this year!

By the time this article is posted, Week 1 of the NFL Regular Season will have come and gone, and this list will probably somehow already be wrong. Regardless, this season has a lot of teams on the rise, and only twelve playoff spots up for grabs, so let's just dive into my predictions for how the playoff picture will end up shaking out by January.

NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles

The defending champs still have one of the most talented rosters in football, and if Carson Wentz comes back at full strength, this team should be contending yet again.

NFC South: New Orleans Saints

This team is built to win now, and have already mortgaged their future to do so. This year it's Super Bowl or bust, and I expect the Saints to be in contention.

NFC North: Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is still the best in the game, and with a better team around him this year, the Pack could make some noise.

NFC West: Los Angeles Rams

Coming off an amazing season, I think the Rams will take a small step back this season.That being said, they're still the best team in their division by a mile.

NFC Wild Card #1: Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton is the key. If he doesn't turn the ball over this team has a chance to surprise people this year.

NFC Wild Card #2: Minnesota Vikings

They've gotten better at every position, and I still don't believe in them. Prove me wrong Minnesota. Break the legacy of failure!

AFC East: New England Patriots

I mean...it's the Patriots. They're making playoffs.

AFC South: Jacksonville Jaguars

Sacksonville won't be a one year wonder, even if they have to drag Blake Bortles to glory.

AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers

Even without Bell, the Steelers are still head and shoulders above the rest of their division.

AFC West: Los Angeles Chargers

This is my dark horse candidate to get to a Super Bowl. Just watch them be awful because I jinx everything I touch but I still believe!

AFC Wild Card #1: Houston Texans

If this team doesn't turn into a walking infirmary they have a shot to make playoffs this season.

AFC Wild Card #2: Tennessee Titans

This team was awful last year and still made the playoffs, and they've gotten even better this offseason. If they can just maintain status quo, they'll be fine.

Well, there you have it! I can't wait until January when I reread this article and laugh at how wrong I was.

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.
