It's hard to believe sometimes, but 31 other NFL teams full of real players and people exist outside of the Chicago Bears' bubble. It's true. Look it up.

While the Bears are our obvious No. 1 priority here at Windy City Gridiron, it doesn't mean we don't pay attention to rest of the happenings around the league. For example, den master Ken Mitchell watched every single game in the NFL last year from start to finish. That's dedication and a love of football we all no doubt share (to a degree). We will bring our thoughts on the Bears' 2017 season and Week 1 later this week, but for now it's a focus outside of the Chicago realm.

On that note, outside of the sphere, we as a staff decided to poll together our best preseason predictions and thoughts on the NFL this year. Make no mistake: we know our football very well here at WCG, but some of us (mainly me) will without a doubt engage in the customary mocking of each other with every consequential incorrect prediction.

Let's read our tarot cards.
