NFL football FINALLY returns this evening when the Atlanta Falcons head to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. Before things officially get underway, I'd like to present to you a string of predictions for the upcoming season including playoffs, MVP and of course, Super Bowl 53 champion that are all but guaranteed to be proven inaccurate by the time the confetti falls from the rafters at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on February 3rd. May the gridiron gods bless the 2018 season with less awful penalties, a more competitive AFC and most importantly, a glorious inaugural intro powerslide from the divine Cris Collinsworth on the NBC broadcast tonight. Happy start of football season everyone.
