It's that time again BSD season 3 preview Looks like the championship ended up in the NFC again the Cardinals was determined to get them a ring this time around will they repeat who knows at this point anything can happen. Look for them to at least win their division but don't want to forget the Rams or the Seahawks who both are contenders to take over in that division.Its a new season so the 49ers have a chance to turn some heads.The Bears look to remain atop of the NFC north hopefully the Vikings,Lions, and Packers can have a better season now that the new head coaches are settled in.The Falcons and their high powered offense will possibly win the NFC south but with 3 other potential playoff teams with the likes of the Bucs,Saints and Panthers in that division it's shaping up to be possibly one of the best kinda hard to tell who might pull this one out.The big bad NFC East is also one of those divisions where any team can win the division possibly the Cowboys may come out on top seeing the young core they have on offense, but don't want to leave out the Giants or Eagles who are potential playoff contenders also.The Redskins has a great team in general let's see if they can turn their talent into wins. All in all it's looking to be some tough battles in the NFC this season the potential sleeper team goes to the Seahawks with an already dominant defense they added the top CB in the draft who is projected to be a superstar. The champs will definitely have their hands full when they see this team twice a year.The team that will represent the NFC in the big dance will be the Bears their offense is already high powered but adding yet another burner at wide out they will be hard to stop.
Welcome back for another BSD season! This is the league to be in if you want to face good competition. Week in and week out you can lose no one is safe and there are new division winners emerging every year. You never know who will come out on top. One thing is for sure. The Miami Dolphins have represented the AFC for the past two super bowls. Although they have not been successful in either one. They have gotten there which says a lot. It is hard enough to win so they have faired very well. They are the team to beat until someone knocks them off. Here are my predictions for the upcoming BSD season for the AFC.
AFC North:
Bengals: Strong team all around they will be tough to be. They will repeat as North champs Steelers: finished at .500 last season I see the Steelers being tough and getting a spot in the playoffs Ravens: This could be a toss up and may come down to how the Ravens do against Cincy and Pitt Browns: Not quite there yet. But could shock some people.
AFC South:
Jags: Can they return to form. They have the talent.
2. Texans: This can be a toss up between the Jags. Texans have talent and will be in the mix
3. Colts: Can they get over the hump. They have a good chance at winning the division.
4. Titans: Tough division to win.
AFC East:
Dolphins: 2x representative of the AFC in the Super Bowl. Could this be the year? Pats: Seems these two swap division winners each year. Will that trend keep? Bills: Can they be the dark horse to win the division? It will be a tall task Jets: New ownership with good players. How will they fair this year?
AFC West:
Raiders: They have the talent on both sides of the ball to make a deep run. But will that pan out? Chiefs: Loaded with talent a year ago. Kansas City is hungry to get back into the playoffs Broncos: Have made a change at QB will that show up in the season. Broncos are still dangerous. Chargers: Through the draft and free agency the San Diego has stocked their roster with talent. They look to make some waves in the AFC West.
That concludes my preview and predictions for season 3 of BSD league. This will be another fun season and teams can’t wait to get started. I will see all my AFC teams in about 4 weeks to see where they will be after 4 games.
BSD Season 2 update with only 3 weeks left in the season the NFC playoff race is pretty tight 8 teams are showing in the race all games being played are very important. The Eagles are showing as the clear cut number 1 seed at the moment with only 1 loss but again there is 3 games left and they could very well be in the same position as the rest of the 3 and 4 loss teams. So at this point every game counts it's open season you never know what could happen. The Battle for the NFC north is close seeing the Packers are one loss behind the Bears who is hoping to clinch the division by winning out but with Aaron Rogers in MVP form the Bears better not let off the Pedal. The NFC East is pretty much sowed up as long as the Eagles win out. The battle in the NFC west Between Rams and Cardinals will come down to the wire Rams having a 1 game lead on the Cards and with only 3 losses they should receive a first round bye in the playoffs. The NFC south is possibly the most important scenario going into the playoffs the Panthers sitting at 9-4 has both the Falcons and Buccaneers on their heels sitting at 7-5 seeing that all 3 teams have tough games coming up it will be an exciting close to the season for all NFC teams fighting for a spot. 3 top games to watch will be Panthers vs Buccaneers week 15. Cardinals vs Eagles week 15 . Cardinals vs Rams week 16. These 3 games will have important playoff implications so all teams involved better bring their a game in the final stretch.
AFC
I have been away for a while and if you miss anytime. There will be lots to catch up with. We will touch on every team in the AFC. But first I must say. This is a great and exciting league and you can tell guys play with passion and grit. That what makes this league so competitive. Some could not handle it so they come into the league only to leave when they can’t handle the competition. Anyone can win the BSD Super Bowl at any time. We are in week 15 and about to move to Week 16. Playoff time is upon us and there are so many teams looking for that top six spot.
Here is a look of the AFC side of NFL/BSD:
AFC North:
Bengals: (10-4) Big jump from last year the Bengals look to wrap up the #1 seed in the AFC. It will be hard to beat them in that cold if they are the #1 seed. Steelers: (7-7) Another team that has turned it around. The Steel city has a chance to go to the playoffs these next two weeks will be a grind. Ravens (6-8) A playoff team a year ago the Ravens have not lived up to the year they had last season. The best they can do is finish (8-8) will it be enough? Browns (4-10) The Dawg Pound are getting better each year.
AFC South:
Texans (9-5): Texans look to win the division and get a home playoff game. They have the best defense in the division and they look to dominate. Colts (7-7) another .500 team who is up and down on the year. Do they have what it takes to make the playoffs? Jaguars: (7-7): The field is saturated with .500 teams. Good comp has led to this and the Jags hope they can get a spot in one of the six slots for the playoffs Titans (1-10): Titans can win the last two to end their season on a winning note.
AFC East:
Patriots (8-6) The division winner will come down to the end of Week 17 what a battle for 1st Bills (8-6) Each week a different leader who wants it bad enough? Dolphins (8-6) someone will be left out the playoffs with a winning record. The division is tight Jets (5-9) looking forward to next year where the Jets will try to get stronger.
AFC West
Raiders (9-5) can the Raiders keep pace and win out? That would sure them a playoff spot. Chiefs (8-6) only a game back and having split the season this is not over yet. Chargers (5-9) Even if they win out Chargers are eliminated from playoff contention Broncos (4-10) what a difference a year makes. Eliminated from playoff contention
BSD NFC SEASON 2 Preview Fresh start new season new opportunities to improve. Congrats to the Vikings for winning the SuperBowl but also congrats to all the other teams that also made the playoffs. Many teams have upgraded and many teams have made some surprising moves in all to compete and get younger. This past offseason consisted of blockbuster trades and a few Coaching changes in the NFC. Some of the top rookies found their homes in the NFC.The sleeper team coming out the gate goes to The bears their defensive back field was leading in interceptions last season which can be even more dominant this season. Looking at the season it will be tough for the champs to repeat seeing that Carolina beefed up their defensive backfield by grabbing the top corner in the draft and of course the playoffs teams with the likes of the Bucs,Cards,Packers,and Eagles are looking to bounce back. But teams that didn't make it they have their work cut out for them the Giants traded away a star WR to gain A star QB or so they hope but they do have potential. Their division rival the Cowboys are looking to bounce back after being knocked out in the first round of the playoffs due to coaching change.The Redskins offense played lights out last season But fell off towards the end but with those group of corners they have their defense should be lockdown this season. Going into the playoffs The Eagles showed promise but got bounced in the first round with Carson Wentz in his second year look for him to be a Pro bowl QB this season. The Atlanta Falcons are ready; they really beefed up their defense in the offseason it might be hard for any team to run on them.The Cards had great success last season just fell short in the playoffs but with the return of David Johnson they should get back on track. The Seahawks should be a playoff contender this year seeing that they still have their defense intact. The 49ers still can compete hopefully their season will be a success. The Saints acquiring the rights to Leveon Bell is a power move in their division. The Rams can have a 10 win season with the speed that's on their offense. Hopefully the Lions can develop some chemistry and a have successful season. The Packers are ready to return to the playoffs seeing their offense is ranked up there with the best.The Bucs ruffled feathers in the playoffs last season hopefully they will be even better and make it over the hump. Last but not least "the Champs"The Vikings will possibly represent the NFC again in the Big dance but then again there are 15 other teams that says otherwise.
AFC: Weeks
The first four weeks of the new BSD season have been an exciting one. The AFC will be fun to watch this year. The BSD has lost a great user out of the NFC. That leaves the door open for anyone to win it all. Who will it be? Much like a shift in power it will be blood left on the streets. Who will come out as king? Lets take a look at the AFC.
Divison Standings:
AFC North:
Baltimore Ravens(2-1): Defense is looking strong only 37 points giving up so far Cincinnati Bengals(3-1): Out to a great start Pittsburg Steelers(1-2): Will be a dangerous team Cleveland Browns(0-3): not a great start still a lot of football left
AFC South:
Jacksonville Jaguars(2-2): Division could be up for grabs Houston Texans(3-0): Off to a great start Indianapolis Colts(0-3): not a great start still a lot of football left Tennessee Titans(0-3): still fighting
AFC East:
New England Patriots(1-2): Always in the race Buffalo Bills(2-1): will three teams make the playoffs? Miami Dolphins(3-0): Super Bowl runner-up team starting off strong New York Jets(1-2): tough defensive division
AFC West:
Kansas City Chiefs(2-1): team to beat in AFC West Denver Broncos(1-3): will always finish strong Oakland Raiders(2-1): can they be in at the end? San Diego Chargers(2-2): strong D can guide to a division title
NFC BSD Season Closing/Playoff Preview
With the first BSD season winding down the playoff picture is about set there was some NFC teams that was on the border and then there are some teams that are prepped and ready for the offseason but for the teams thats still standing and ready to make a run for the championship. The Vikings and Cardinals are the clear cut first round bye teams but the Buccaneers and Cowboys are right behind them in having home field advantage in the first round. The Eagles and Packers are a lock to be their opponents just as long as they don’t lose in week 17 but there still could be hope for the Bears but other than that the NFC playoff picture is pretty much clear.Predictions of who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl is the Vikings,it want be for easy for them but but their defense should carry them all the way.Speaking of defense the team that will go against them in the NFC championship the Arizona Cardinals has a great defense. the cards better prepared seeing that they already took a loss to the Vikings earlier in the season. As for a sleeper pick the Green Bay Packers a team that has the tools to make a run deep into the playoffs and maybe even get to the championship game seeing that they are the only team to hand the Viking their only loss so the sky is the limit for the Packers.
Final NFC Standings
1.Vikings(15-1):The Vikings have just about dominated every opponent that have played this season its almost scary if you have to see them in the playoffs. key win for the Viking came in Week 11 when they defeated the cardinals 13-0 the Cardinals was an undefeated team at the time and the Vikings came out victorious.
2.Cardinals(15-1): if it wasn’t for the vikings this team would be the top team in BSD right now but also losing league rushing leader Duke Johnson hurts too but the Cards are not gonna just lay down they will be ready. Key win for the Cardinals came week 12 against the Falcons 16-14 coming off a loss so it was kinda a must win for the Cards confidence wise.
3.Cowboys(13-3): has been another dominant team this season ending the season at 13-3 with a rookie Quarterback and a rookie running back the cowboys future is bright they also have a chance to make a run. Key win for the Cowboys came week 12 in a 37 to 12 victory over the Redskins
4.Packers(10-6): The Packers are a battle tested team they fight through advisory and still come out on top after losing Aaron Rogers midway through the season the Packers could’ve gave up but they kept fighting and they now have a chance to ruffle some feathers in the playoffs. Key victory came week 2 against the vikings winning the game 25-23
5.Buccaneers(10-6): The Bucs survived a tough division in the NFC south but will have some tough hurdles to get over in the playoffs hopefully James Winston and company can surprise everyone and make a run. Key victory week 16 against the Saints 28-7 victory
6.Eagles(11-5): Philly riding a winning streak going into the playoffs and is looking to be a dark horse in representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. So anyone who has to play them better be ready because they are in sink at the right time. Key victory came for them in week 17 in 23- 20 victory over the Cowboys
7.Bears(9-7): At this point for the Bears to get in they have to pray the Packers or Eagles lose but even if they don’t get in it still was a successful 9win season for the Bears. key win came against Green bay in week 15 with a 37-16 victory
8.Redskins(9-7): At one point in the season the Redskins offense looked unstoppable and Kirk Cousins was looking like a clear cut MVP if the skins coulda got one or two more victories than maybe the skins might be a sleeper but until next season. Key victory came week 16 beating the Bears 31-14 costing the bears their playoff hopes.
9.Seahawks(9-7): with the great defense that Seattle has its surprising that they are not in the playoffs guess things didn’t go their way this season hopefully they can get it together in the offseason. Key win came week 6 against the Falcons winning 36-24
10.Falcons(7-9): with a couple of more victories the Falcons would be in the playoffs but just could not close games losing a few heart breakers but with this offense the Falcons will be a powerhouse next season. Key victory came in week 10 against the Eagles defeating them 28-6
11.Lions(7-9): The lions came close to making it to the playoffs they have been on a 3 game win streak coming off the news of being eliminated but hopefully they can keep that momentum going in the next season.Key win week 16 against the Cowboys 31-13 victory
12.Saints(6-10):The saints had an down and up season they started out slow but ended breaking 500 but then just ended up fading towards the end of the season but with Brees getting older it might be time for the Saints to start shopping for a QB . Key victory came week 9 against the 49ers winning the game 26-19 breaking even at 4-4 at that time in the season.
13.49ers(5-11): The 49ers started well winning 3 in a row but then came 2 straight losses they got another win but never got another after that until later in the season. the 49ers show promise maybe the offseason will give them a chance to get some weapons. key win came against the Seahawks in week 2 with a 20-10 victory.
14.Rams(5-11): with one of the best running backs in the league you woulda thought Rams would be atleast a 10-6 team but sometimes being in a tough division in the NFC west you might have to have a little more than a RB to compete against those defenses in that division. key win came in week 14 against the Falcons 9-3 the least amount of points allowed by the Rams all season
15 Giants (3-13): Going into the season I had high hopes for the Giants but they never could seem to get over the hump but Im sure they will come back next season revamped and ready to compete. Key win came week 7 against the Rams with a 31 -21 victory going into a bye but after that it was down hill from there.
16.Panthers (2-14): kinda disappointing to Cam Newton and the panthers this low on the totem pole but hopefully they can rebound and get back to greatness maybe Josh Norman was right you get what you pay for. Key win for the Panthers came in week 16 against division rival Atlanta Falcons defeating them 32-24

NFC TOP OFFENSIVE PERFORMERS OF THE FIRST QUARTER
Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins he has surprised me this season as he is leading the NFL in passing in the first quarter of the season. he has managed to rack up over 17,000 yards in the first 4 games of the season i can only imagine what the kid can do in the next 3 quarters NFC teams better start prepping heavy when they get ready to face those Redskins or its going to be a record breaking season for Kirk and the boys.
NFC TOP DEFENSIVE PERFORMER OF THE FIRST QUARTER
Chicago Bears CB Kyle Fuller is on pace to have a break out season as he has 6 interceptions in the first 4 games of the season i tell you now teams better be aware of his presence on the field or the 6 number may turn into a quadrople number by the end of the season.

PLAYMADE76:
The big apple the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS with the most electrifying player in the NFL in OBJ the Giants have a big chance to win it all this season especially under the leadership of Eli Manning who is poised and ready to grab his 3rd Super Bowl ring to solidify his Elite status in the NFL.
GGABOY12:
Next is the Minnesota Vikings this team also can be great from the hard-hitting D-fense to the Pound it down your throat football with arguably the best running back in the NFL in A.P. I predict the Vikings may represent the NFC this season in the Superbowl!
MODDYMODBEASTY:
Now the team some consider to be America's coming off a subpar season with the return of Tony Romo to the lineup the Dallas Cowboys have true chance to make some noise in the NFC this season not to mention the star studded running back in Ezekiel Elliott they just drafted I feel Dallas fans are in for a huge treat for this season.
LOVABOI83:
Live from the nations capital the Washington Redskins seems ready to make run at the division title with the addition of Josh Norman to the D-fense they gain some much needed help in the secondary to compete with the Star receivers they have to deal with twice a season.
FHPT317:
The city of brotherly love you gotta love those die hard Philly Fans after witnessing one underperforming team after another they are hoping the new face of the team Carson Wentz can restore the faith also don’t forget about WR Jordan Mathews who has the potential to break out into a superstar receiver this season
AHMAN5:
The cheese heads are anticipating this season to be a great one simply because of the return of Jorde Nelson who suffered a season ending injury in training camp last season I’m sure Aaron Rogers will be delighted to have his favorite pass catcher back in the fold.
BIGFELLA-SOT:
Other than the receiving tandem of Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White and also RB Jeremy Langford there isn’t much to get excited about the Chicago Bears.Their QB Jay Cutler seems can’t get over the hump of becoming an elite QB will this be the season only time will tell.
BANDBAM44:
With the retirement of future hall of famer Calvin Johnson the Detroit Lions seems to be in complete rebuild mode not much to look forward to on the Lions roster Maybe Veterans WR Golden Tate and QB Matthew Stafford can develop some chemistry to ignite the rest of the team.
DAMAGEKIDS:
After a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl the Carolina Panthers look to make another run and complete the mission they almost conquered last season. Cam Newton seems ready to defend the NFC crown with the return of Wr Kelvin Benjamin I definetly think it can happen.
CHUCKTOWNBOI:
Possibly the toughest team to beat in the NFC south the Atlanta Falcons got a lot to prove Matt Ryan and company is ready to make a championship run with a high power offense with the likes of Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman I think they have a chance to make some noise.
HARLEMSLAYER112:
With Drew Brees getting older its hard to say if the New Orleans Saints will be a contender but I wouldn’t count them out they have a speedy receiver who can blow past just about any corner in Brandin Cooks so any team going against the Saints better get ready for a shoot out!
THEIRONLOTUS171:
With Second Year QB Jameis Winston at the helm the Buccaneers fans are pumped for the many possibilities that can open up for them this season but they do have a tough division to fight with in but i think Winstons Leadership will give the Bucs confidence they can contend with any team!
BEBUSHKA:
Some can argue that this is the best team in the NFL with the number 1 defense in the NFL The Seattle Seahawks and the Legion Of Boom are ready to make another title run. Still having a bad taste in their mouth from the Super Bowl loss two seasons ago the Seahawks are shutdown all the nay sayers and add a second championship to the Franchise.
CANYBX28:
Another great defense with the likes of Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Matheu the Arizona Cardinals are a not team to be overlooked they are ball hawking and the Offense can put up points also with future hall of famer Larry Fitzgerald in the lineup any team will always have their hands full when playing the Cardinals
AWHERESRANI:
Well the fans of the San Fransisco was spoiled with championships in the late 80’s and early 90’s but its been long time since 9ers fans had something to get excited about…. well this season it looks like they will be waiting even longer simply the fact they are clearly in rebuild mode with new head coach Chip Kelly hopefully he can motivate the youngsters to develop some winning ways. Player to watch though is rookie defensive end Deforest Buckner hopefully he can provide a spark to this young roster
RUNNING2169:
Now theres a lot of excitement built around this team due to move to Los Angeles. The Rams are in position to bring back the glory days of Erick Dickerson with their own modern day superstar RB Todd Gurley possibly the best in the league he seems poised to take this team to the next level I’m kinda excited myself to see what this kid has in store.
TOP OFFENSIVE NFC PLAYER TO WATCH
After going through Injuries and turmoil in college Todd Gurley in his rookie season was more than spectacular rushing for 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns. I think Gurley is Ready to be the face of L.A. and take his game to elite status where only the likes of Dickerson and Sanders Exist.
TOP DEFENSIVE NFC PLAYER TO WATCH
Arguably the best cover corner in the league the spotlight will defiantly be on Josh Norman this season going up against two of the best receivers in the game twice a year will he really solidify his status as the best Defensive player in the NFL if he can maintain his success.
AFC North:
Baltimore Ravens(BigSip) 83 overall: The Ravens look to bounce back from a disappointing 2015 season. With the return of Breshad Perriman BigSip looks to stretch the field in the new BSD season. Also, bringing in Devin Hester can he steal a roster spot?
Pittsburgh Steelers(daking_murph0611) 85 overall: With a trade within the division the Steelers hope they made a good choice in getting CB Justin Gilbert. With a great line backing core how will daking_murph0611 use this very talented defense?
Cleveland Browns(Dawgdays7177) 73 overall: New QB, new coach, new attitude the Browns look get over the hump in BSD this season. Josh Gordan if he can stay on the field can be a dominate WR. How will Dawgdays7177 spread around the pigskin?
Cincinnati Bengals(jonnyLOUDPOCKETS): 84 overall: With one of the best WR in the NFL in A.J. Green jonnyLOUDPOCKETS and the Bengals offense look to have a productive year. With great “D” can this be the year?
AFC South:
Tennessee Titans(DreMello): 82 overall: The Titans come into the new BSD season with two good running backs. Throw in a very mobile QB and they could be a hard team to get off the field.
Jacksonville Jaguars(FSU_Bandit): 78 Overall: The Jags come into BSD with a lot of talent on paper. How will that equate to on the field play? Defense and offense has playmakers. Can they make the playoffs?
Indianapolis Colts(prime-tyme_93): 78 Overall: With possibly one of the fastest WR core in the league and very good QB in Andrew Luck prime_time_93 looks to open up the field in the new BSD season.
Houston Texans(playahay-ta): 81 Overall: AFC South winners a year ago the Texans look to repeat, now with a hopefully stable QB situation and a defense that should be tops in the league can playahay-ta take the next step?
AFC East:
Buffalo Bills(Markis-23): 81 Overall: Bills look to make a statement in a division dominated by the Pats. With good talent on both sides of the ball how can markis-23 fair in a tough division?
New York Jets(JeffPenland): 77 Overall: If used the right way the Jets could make a big splash in the AFC East. They have the defense to stop most offenses. It will be fun to watch the Jets.
New England Patriots(SurebetGP): 87 overall: Will the dominance continue for the Pats and surebetGP? This team shows no signs of slowing down. Brady will be suspended the 1st 4 games, but that won’t matter this is Madden 17 and he can be subbed easy with no punishment.
Miami Dolphins(Nchoudhury83): 77 overall: With a very talented defense line the Dolphins look to bring pressure. On offense there WR is very good and with Tannehill a year more comfortable nchoudhry looks to set a top the AFC East.
AFC West:
Denver Broncos(mjh3681): 82 Overall: The big questions looming in Mile High is who will mjh3681 start at QB? The defense wants to the best in the NFL. They have the defense DNA to do that.
San Diego Chargers(CrushinUbee): 81 Overall: Bosa has finally joined the team. It’s time to see what the #3 overall pick can do. 4-3 or 3-4 how will crushinubee utilize this defense? Can Rivers get that elusive SuperBowl ring?
Oakland Raiders(Guillotine_29): 84 Overall: The Raiders have talent a good front seven. A decent offense. Does guillotine_29 have enough madden stick skills to make this team a contender? Or will he falter just like previous years?
Kansas City Chiefs(ph00043): 85 Overall: The Chiefs have the make of a team to go deep into the post season. They have a very balanced team which could cause problems for some teams. It will be very interesting to see what the Chiefs and ph00043 can do in BSD league.
