With only two days left until the NFL season is over, it’s time we go over my preseason NFL awards predictions. Let’s get started with the most important award, the MVP. My prediction was Josh Allen and the winner was Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen was 5th in MVP voting, but he was the only player besides Jackson to receive a 1st place MVP vote. The next award was the Offensive Player of The Year. My prediction was Tyreek Hill and the winner was Christian McCaffrey. Hill was second in voting behind McCaffrey, mainly because he was dominating the award the entire season until he injured his ankle in week 14, but that’s just how football is. Next up is Defensive Player of The Year. My prediction was Micah Parsons and the winner was Myles Garrett. Parsons finished third in voting after a good season and is already looking like a front-runner for this award next season.
The next award was the Offensive Rookie of The Year. My prediction was Bijan Robinson and the winner was CJ Stroud. Robinson finished fifth in voting after a good rookie year, and will be one of the best running backs for years to come. Next was the Defensive Rookie of The Year, and this is the first prediction I was correct on. My prediction was Will Anderson Jr, and he was one of the most dominant defensive ends in the NFL as a rookie. I picked him because he looked like a 5 year vet as a rookie, and he played at Alabama. The next award was Comeback Player of The Year, and my prediction was Damar Hamlin and the winner was Joe Flacco. Hamlin only played two games this season after he fell into cardiac arrest during a game last year. It was great to see Hamlin back on the field but Flacco deserved it more. The final award was the Coach of The Year, and this was the second award I was correct about. I picked the Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski. I picked Stefanski because I was excited about the Browns and he had rebuilt the roster into a winning team.
Super Bowl Prediction: Bills vs 49ers/ Real Super Bowl: Chiefs vs 49ers
Before the season I was really excited about the Bills and the 49ers, and it turns out that I was right about one of those teams. The 49ers have the most talented roster in the NFL and it’s not really close. I don’t know where I went wrong about the Bills, but I think I was just ready for the Chiefs reign to be over. I originally had the Bills winning the Super Bowl 38-29. We’ll see if I can predict the NFL as good next season.
