t Kansas State, Weber coached at Illinois and Southern Illinois.?FRESHMAN STANDOUT: Xavier Sneed scored eight points coming off

The NFL is one of the toughest leagues to forecast, but with the help of ESPNs Football Power Index (FPI) were going to look into our crystal ball and make a few bold projections for the upcoming NFL season.As a reminder, the ultimate goal of NFL FPI is to measure team strength and project performance going forward. FPI simulates the season 10,000 times to produce the most accurate estimate of what will happen throughout the year.Although many of the projections below are black or white (i.e.: this team WILL win), its worth noting that with any projection system nothing is a sure thing. For example, the Packers have the best chance of any team to make the playoffs, but there is still a 1-in-5 chance they miss the postseason.Nonetheless, below are 10 bold predictions from the perspective of ESPNs FPI.1. Carolina will run away with the NFC South.The Panthers enter the season with the best chance of any team to win its division, according to FPI. Carolina has about a two-in-three chance of winning the NFC South, and no other team has more than a 13 percent chance. Amazingly, Carolina is the FPI favorite in every conference game this season, but that doesnt mean it will win all of those games. Theres still a 33 percent chance either Atlanta, New Orleans or Tampa Bay wins the NFC South, but Carolina appears to be the safest bet to end the season as division champs.
