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. Cal Ripken Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Manny Machado Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. http://www.theoriolesteamshop.com/Customized/ . - The Washington Redskins have cut defensive lineman Adam Carriker and punter Sav Rocca. Chance Sisco Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Eddie Murray Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan coach John Beileins new contract will keep him with the Wolverines through the 2018-19 season. Whether retirement awaits after that, he isnt ready to say. The 60-year-old coach will make $2.45 million in annual compensation under the new deal. The three-year extension replaced his previous contract, which was to end after the 2015-16. His first contract, which paid $1.3 million plus incentives, made him the highest paid basketball coach in school history. And now he is set through the 2018-19 season. "At least," he said Tuesday. "When I first got here, I at least wanted to coach that contract. Who knows right now where that all goes, but I love the faith the university has in me to at least redo my contract to that extension." He said there was no sense of urgency to get a deal done, but added it felt good knowing he could make incoming high school juniors a promise hed be there if they signed with Michigan. "It would be good to get it as we began recruiting," he said. "My plan was to coach at least six more years and put that so the 2015 class knew." The Wolverines fell to Louisville in the NCAA title game, the schools first trip there sinnce the early 1990s.dddddddddddd Beilein said the cache that comes with reaching the final game of the season only has helped on the recruiting trail. He remembered one of his earliest recruits here asking him if Michigan ever was any good in basketball. "When we ask them if they watched the championship game they say, Of course," he said. "When we ask them if theyre interested in Michigan, they say, Of course. Thats very positive." Beilein has guided the Wolverines to four NCAA Tournament appearances and the team shared its first Big Ten title last year for the first time since 1986. Guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., key players in the championship-game run, left early and were taken in the first round of the NBA draft. Sophomore forwards Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III will be the likely nucleus of the coming seasons team. Michigan hired Beilein in 2007 after he led West Virginia to an NIT title. Hes also had stops at Richmond, Canisius, LeMoyne, Nazareth and Erie (N.Y.) Community College. His career record as a head coach is 673-403. The new contract is a far cry from his first college paycheque. Erie paid him $12,000 a year when became its head coach in 1978.
