2016 MLS Season Predictions

Unfortunately, this blog has been dormant for the last month because of one factor for another, but it is coming back with a preview of the upcoming MLS season. I have already written more expansive previews on other sites, but here I'm going to post my raw predictions, as in conference standings, playoff picks, MLS Cup Champion and awards predictions. These are probably going to be terribly wrong, but that's why I post them here anyway. Here goes nothing...

1. Columbus Crew
2. Toronto FC
3. New York Red Bulls
4. NYCFC
5. Montreal Impact
6. Orlando City

10. Chicago Fire

Western Conference:
1. FC Dallas
2, Vancouver Whitecaps
3. Seattle Sounders
4. LA Galaxy

6. Real Salt Lake
