Here are MSR’s Season 5 (3 since restart) predictions for MSR. Thanks to all those that voted.
Super Bowl Winner:
1. Eagles (20%)
2. Raiders/Bengals (16%)
3. Patriots/Chiefs/Saints (8%)
Super Bowl Loser:
1. Eagles (48%)
2. Chiefs/Bengals/Patriots (12%)
3. Panthers (8%)
It appears MSR is predicting a Eagles vs Bengals Super Bowl, as they had the most total votes to make the Super Bowl. The Eagles seem to be a slight favorite to come out on top.
Highest Scoring Team:
1. Ravens (44%)
2. Benglas (20%)
3. Eagles (16%)
The Ravens have stars all over their offense. With the amount of star power they have, few teams can consistently light it up like they will be able to.
Least Points Allowed:
1. Eagles (20%)
2. Jets (16%)
3. Bengals (12%)
Despite losing Sauce Gardner in the offseason, they may have actually improved their secondary with the addition of Kevin Byrad. Both great talent and coaching make the Jets defense one that offenses won't have a fun time facing.
NFC Playoff Teams:
1. Saints (100%)
2. Eagles (96%)
3. Cardinals (91%)
4. Panthers (72%)
5. Rams (68%)
6. Bucs (64%)
7. Bears or Packers (53%)
6 of the 7 NFC playoff teams seem to have clear favorites. However, who will win the NFC North is really up in the air. With the Bears and Packers leading the charge but all 4 of which got some support.
AFC Playoff Teams:
1. Bengals (100%)
2. Raiders (96%)
3. Jags (92%)
4. Ravens/Chiefs (84%)
5. Patriots (80%)
6. Jets (32%
I'm not sure I've ever seen this big of a disparity between the 6th and 7th seed of the playoffs. The top 6 teams are clear but there seems to be no confidence after that. A lot of teams hovering within the 20-30% range.
Most Improved User:
1. Dolphins (16%)
2. Jets/Colts/Bills (12%)
3. Broncos/Vikings/Steelers (8%)
Lots of teams getting votes here. The biggest common denominator seems to be teams that acquired new QBs. It may come down to what team improved their QB play the most.
QB From Real Life Draft That Will Have the Most Success:
1. Hendan Hooker - Dolphins (48%)
2. Bryce Young - Colts (32%)
3. Anthony Richardson - Broncos/Dorian Thompson Robinson - Chargers (8%)
Like mentioned previously, the Dolphins just got a new QB and that is a big reason people expect a big improvement from them this year.
Which Conference Will Have More Wins:
1. I'm in the AFC and think the AFC will have more (44%)
2. I'm in the NFC and think the NFC will have more (36%)
3. I'm in the NFC and think the AFC will have more (16%)
4. I'm in the AFC and think the AFC will have more (4%)
Most people picked their own conference to be better. However, more NFC users believe in the AFC than vice versa. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
How did MSR do? What did they get wrong? What did they get right?
