The 2018 regular-season is right around the corner. The first preseason game is just a little over a week away and it’s time to unleash my predictions for the upcoming season.

The first game of the season features the defending Super Bowl champs, as the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, September 6th.

NFL Predictions: Win/Loss Records, Division Standings & Future Odds

Predicting the National Football League is no easy task. Every year there are teams that come out of nowhere to surprise and others who fail to live up to expectations.

It’s what makes pro football so great. So much can change from one year to the next. It’s why it’s critical to stay informed on all the teams and not just base your opinions on what happened last season.

I’ve studied all the offseason moves and taken a close look at the schedules to compile my 2018 predictions. Below you will find my projected records on all 32 teams.

I’ve also provided my division standings, future odds and playoff predictions. You can compare my results with the over/under win totals provided by Vegas to see if I think they are overrated or underrated this year.
