I'll go first:

NFL
Champs - It'd be ridiculous for me to say any other team but Birdgang will win the Lambeau, even with the two-game skid they're on. But, if they can wrap up this bye on Sunday, and everyone comes back healthy for the Divisional Round (Lane, CJ, HURTS, Sweat, & Maddox).....top-to-bottom....I don't see us losing. I can see The Chiefs winning again or maybe the Bills.
SB MVP - Jalen Hurts, of course.
MVP - Hurts, by all rights....BUT his injury cleared the way for Mahomes, so it will be him. It's the Carson Wentz thing all over again.

NBA
Champs - Bucks, I think. No one in the West can beat them in a seven-game series. In fact, I predict the champs are coming out of the East this year between Boston, Milwaukee, Los Nets, and yes....Squad.
Finals MVP - Giannis....or KD....or Tatum....or Joel.
Season MVP - As much a I WANT to say Luka, either Jokic yet again (cause advanced metrics rule this league now) or Tatum.

NHL I don't watch, so pass.

MLB
Champs - Fightins got the players, but Bryce is out till the All-Star break. My back-up will always be the Dodgers till they prove they're not. No Verlander, no Astros. And the Yanks are a dark horse.
WS MVP - Bryce.....or Judge.

NL MVP - Schwarber (led the NL in HRs last year, so he's got as good a shot as anyone)
AL MVP - Sho-Time (Ontani needs his due. Unless he gets hurt, he should win it)
NL Cy Young - Max Schzerer, Mets
AL Cy Young - Dylan Cease, White Sox


Only other prediction that is a sure shot is Bron becomes the new NBA All-Time Scorer this year. I think he does it early February, before the All-Star break. As of right now, he's 527 points away. At his current average of 28.5 PPG this year, that places him 19 games away, which would be Feb. 7 vs the Thunder. He getting that record either the 7th, 9th vs the Bucks, or 11th vs Golden State.

That's all I got. How 'bout you?
