Please remind me not to make football predictions next year. I’m happy with a few of these I got right, but there are a few really embarrassing predictions in here as well.
Here’s how I did on predicting the order of finishing.
NFC East prediction: Eagles, Giants (*), Cowboys, Redskins. Got this almost completely backwards. Terrible.
I’ve already made my first set of ill-fated 2012/13 NFL predictions on the order in which the teams will finish. I must be a glutton for punishment, because here are ten more predictions involving stories that I think will emerge this season.
1. By the end of the season, the story around Michael Vick will be whether the Eagles will pick up the next season on his contract or if the organization will wash its hands of him and move on. Even though I’ve picked the Eagles to win the NFC East, I’m hedging with this prediction. I can see Vick having another middling season where he’s either hurt and/or continues to turn the ball over at a frightening clip. I really hope I’m wrong.
The morning air is crisper, and that can only mean one thing – the start of football season is upon us. Before the start of the season last year, I made an attempt to demonstrate my football predictive prowess. Looking back on the results, I’m not sure why I’m going to try it again. Making predictions about a football season is a fool’s game. I know that, but I just can’t resist. Like last year, I’ll take a stab at how I see teams finishing the year, as well as a few storylines that I think will play out over the season.
For this post, I’ll cover how I see the teams finishing by division (* indicates my pick for the wildcard playoff spots) Continue reading
