I\u2019m taking a blog break for the Labor Day weekend, but that doesn\u2019t stop me from looking at the NFL<\/a> season for this year.<\/p>\n

And it is time, once again, for Gary\u2019s Guesses, my weekly NFL predictions.\u00a0 Over the years, I have been averaging about 67% correct answers, which is not too bad, but certainly not good enough for you to bet the ranch on anything I say.<\/p>\n

Before I get to the guesses, here are my predictions for the upcoming Divisional, Conference, and Super Bowl winners:<\/p>\n

AFC\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

EAST<\/strong> \u2013 New England Patriots <\/a>(who else?)<\/p>\n

NORTH<\/strong> \u2013 Cleveland Browns<\/a> (Are you serious?)<\/p>\n

SOUTH<\/strong> \u2013 Houston Texans<\/a> (Luck retired, right?)<\/p>\n

WEST<\/strong> \u2013 Kansas City Chiefs <\/a>(Mahomes did not retire, right?)<\/p>\n


\nNFC<\/strong><\/p>\n

EAST<\/strong> \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> (Ezekiel Elliott is still not in camp?)<\/p>\n

NORTH<\/strong> \u2013 Chicago Bears<\/a> (What happened to the Packers and the Vikings?)<\/p>\n

SOUTH<\/strong> \u2013 New Orleans Saints<\/a> (What team has a bigger chip on their shoulder?)<\/p>\n

WEST<\/strong> \u2013 Los Angeles Rams<\/a> (Aren\u2019t they looking forward to back-to-back Super Bowls?)<\/p>\n


\nAFC CHAMPION<\/strong> \u2013 Kansas City<\/p>\n

NFC CHAMPION<\/strong> \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n

SUPER BOWL WINNER<\/strong> \u2013 Kansas City<\/p>\n
