Sigh. So it's that annual time when Twitter really hates me. But, back by *very popular* demand, here are my 2018 NFL record projections after I picked all 267 games (including Super Bowl LIII). Click for explanations: https://t.co/XlyVpcmV2t pic.twitter.com/jZ2gCEHbxZ

Davis predicted the Falcons and the Chargers will be in Super Bowl.
“Matt Ryan and Co. will need a familiar quantum leap in Year 2 under offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian that they enjoyed in a similar scenario with Kyle Shanahan in 2016,” Davis wrote. “The difference with this club is a lightning quick defense that's in full bloom — the primary reason the Falcons came closest to derailing the Eagles in last season's playoffs.”
Super Bowl LIII is February 3, 2019 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
