NFL Predictions From The Whole Korked Bats Team
The NFL season kicks off tonight (about time), and like every website on the entire damn internet, we felt like hitting you with some predictions for the upcoming season. Will these predictions be right? Probably not. We’re a bunch of bloggers and podcasters. But will these predictions be 100% completely unbiased? You have our word.
Sure, we all have our favorite teams, but we’re willing to put all of those aside to deliver you grade-A analysis with a capital A. Yes, we’re The #1 Derrick Henry Fan Site On The Internet™ but we will place that aside when making our picks as well. Look, we will sacrifice our fandom for your reading pleasure.
Will be held accountable to these predictions? Like many in the media, no. Sorry, but those are the rules. بلاك جاك 21 Nobody is ever held to their piss poor predictions that they make at the beginning of the season.
Anyway, here’s our picks.

SUPER BOWL: Chiefs
- Sigh. Again. They’re just too good.

AFC CHAMPION: Chiefs
- See above.
NFC CHAMPION: Buccaneers
- I want a rematch. Just like no one else.

SUPER BOWL: Titans
AFC CHAMPION: Titans
NFC CHAMPION: Rams
MVP: Derrick Henry
OPOY: Derrick Henry
