Newton is done in the NFL.

I think he'll have one more shot with another team, but he'll definitely not be a starter.

Welp with the Regular Season starting tomorrow night I might as well put in my Predictions for the Division Leaders for both Conferences.

1. Chiefs(AFC West)
2. Browns(AFC North)
3. Bills(AFC East)
4. Titans(AFC South)

I'm pretty sure this Season we'll get three Wildcard Teams instead of 2 if memory serves me right and I'll go with the Steelers, Ravens, Broncos.

1. Bucs(NFC South)
2. Packers(NFC North)
3. Cowboys(NFC East)
4. Cardinals(NFC West)

Wild Card Teams I will say Giants, Rams, Seahawks.
