Here is my year in review. I will hand out a bunch of real NFL awards based off my opinions and then give some of my own awards as well. Lets get started.
MVP: Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos. Duh... well obviously he is my pick. Not only is Peyton my favorite athlete of all time and one of my roll models, he is one of the best NFL QB's ever and put some more icing on the cake with this season. 55 TD's, 5477 yards(both new records) is just insane. No way he isn't the MVP.
Runner Up: Cam Newton.
Honorable Mentions: Russel Wilson, Lesean McCoy, Jamaal Charles.
Offensive Player of the Year: Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs: Peyton should also win this award, but I'll give it to someone else just be be nice. I almost went with McCoy for this one but I thought about it and McCoy has a lot more talent around him than Charles. Jamaal accounted for 70% of his teams plays this year, thats crazy. Their offense wouldn't be going too many places without him.
Runner Up: Lesean McCoy.
Honorable Mentions: Josh Gordon, Calvin Johnson, Drew Brees.
Defensive Player of the Year: Luke Kuechly, Carolina Panthers. Luke won this award for me during that game a couple of weeks ago against the Saints. He went for 24 tackles, the most in a game since 1996, and also capped it off with an interception, his 4th on the year. The Panthers have one of the NFL's most stout defenses so it makes since to give it to Luke.
Runner Up: Robert Mathis.
Honorable Mentions: Richard Sherman, Robert Quinn, JJ Watt.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Keenan Allen, San Diego Chargers. I got a real good look at this kid in prime Thursday night a couple weeks ago in Denver. He leaped over the Broncos defenders and once I saw that I knew he is the real deal.
Runner Up: Eddy Lacey.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Kiki Olonso, Buffalo Bills. This guy has already become a legend in his city and was a bright stop in a pretty bad Bills team. He had his 4 interceptions earlier in the season, but no one else is more deserving.
Runner Up: Star Lotulelei.
Coach of the Year: Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers. "Riverboat Ron" changed the league completely. The Panthers went from 1-3 to 12-4. It was a crazy turn around and Ron went from being on the hot-seat to coach of the year.
Runner Up: Andy Reid.
Honorable Mentions: Bruce Arians, Pete Caroll, Chip Kelly.
Comeback Player of the Year: Terrel Suggs, Baltimore Ravens. This award isn't as competitive as it was last year(Manning and Peterson) but Suggs makes the best case. It seems pretty apparent that he was pretty banged up last season and really returned to form this year.
Runner Up: Knowshon Moreno
Honorable Mentions: Philip Rivers, Riley Cooper.
Okay now on to my own awards.
Best Game: Broncos 51 vs. Cowboys 48
Seriously, 99 combined points, 11 total touchdowns. It is hard to get better and more entertaining than that(besides for the defensive coordinators).
Runner Up: Panthers 24 vs. Patriots 20
Worst Game: Eagles 54 vs. Bears 11
This was flexed into Sunday Night Football and I stopped watching it after about 1 quarter. Such a bad game for non Eagles fans.
Runner Up: Seahawks 34 vs. Saints 7.
Most Surprising Team: Kansas City Chiefs. Like the Colts of last year, the Chiefs went from 2-14 to 11-5. Big turnaround wins them this award.
Runner Up: Carolina Panthers.
Most Disappointing: Houston Texans. After an 11-1 start to last season, the Texans have gone 4-18. What the heck happened?
Runner Up: Washington Redskins
The "You really blew" award: Detroit Lions. The NFC North was yours to win, and you finished in third place. Wow.
Runner Up: Miami Dolphins
The "I wish I was in another division" award: Arizona Cardinals. 10-6 would've won the NFC north or east, but since they are in the competitive west, they couldn't even make the playoffs.
Best Division(heck, lets just rank all of them!)
1. NFC West/AFC West this two had a combined total of 5 playoff teams and 6 winning teams. Wow.
3. NFC South: Panthers 12-4, Saints 11-5 Wildcard.
4. AFC North: 11-5 and two 8-8 teams.
5. AFC East: 12-4 and two 8-8 teams.
6. NFC East: 10-6 winner along with 8-8 runner up. Not as bad as we thought.
7. NFC North: Wow, 8-7-1 winner. Not good.
8. AFC South: Colts are good at 11-5. No over .500 teams.

My Preseason Predictions Compared to Teams Actual Records
Last Weeks Picks Record: 13-3
This Seasons Record: 178-78
That is a nice record to end the season on. EXACTLY 100 more games that I called correctly than incorrectly! Before the start of the season I made some predictions about every teams final record, and here are how those predictions compare to what actually happened. I will list how many games I was off. For example, if I predicted a team to go 0-16, but they went 8-8, I was +8 games off on my prediction. If I called them going 16-0 but they went 8-8, I was -8 off on my prediction. That is how this will work. Lets see how I did!
