No one can honestly state they have any clue how a MLS season is going to play out. Even more than any other league in America, the level of parity is either MLS' biggest strength or weakness, depending on who you ask.
With that in mind here are our 2016 MLS predictions, picks and a general statement about the upcoming season from each of our crew. Jon Arnold, Bob Sturm (!), Buzz Carrick, Dan Crooke, Nathan Nipper and your's truly.
I think consistency goes a long way in MLS. Teams that have overhauled during the offseason are going to need some time to find their stride - and that's OK in a league with playoffs.
