NFC Roster Snubs

Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers was not selected as one of the running backs this year. McCaffrey was one of the lone bright spots on a poor Panthers team. In only his second year in the league, he amassed 1,098 yards and helped his team stay in the playoff race for most of the season until the wheels fell off in the last month.

MVP predictions

On offense, look for the Indianapolis Colts Duo of QB Andrew Luck and WR Eric Ebron to make waves; the two were dynamic in the regular season, connecting on several high-impact plays during the Colts amazing late-season run. Keep your eyes on the field whenever they are together at the same time, because that’s when you are likely to see some magic.

On defense, there are several candidates for MVP such as JJ Watt of Houston, who was second overall in Sacks during the regular season behind Super Bowl-bound Aaron Donald of the Rams. Buffalo Bills DT Kyle Williams might also get the nod for MVP as more of a sentimental pick, as he is set to retire after this season.
