Season predictions revisited
In looking back to the start of the season, I can see why Sean had the success he did. He nailed all but one of his postseason predictions (the Rams as division champs). I did OK, but not quite as good. Let's see...
* AFC North -- Pittsburgh came through, although they are shaky as a contender at best. Can Cleveland surprise anyone? Perhaps if Dwayne Rudd keeps his helmet on...
* AFC South -- I picked the Colts, but Tennessee emerged. At least Indy will be around for the playoffs.
* AFC West -- I picked Denver. The Raiders won the show and the Broncos won't be around in January.
* AFC East -- I picked Miami to win it and the Pats to get a wild card. Neither happened as the Jets are the division's sole representative.
* NFC South -- Tampa Bay came through, as predicted. Atlanta was the season's surprise, sneaking into the postseason despite losing the final game to the Browns. How 'bout dem Aints??? ... er, Saints.
* NFC West -- I picked the Rams. Let's face it, everyone picked the Rams. The Rams, of course, gagged. The Niners won it, but they won't be around long in the playoffs.
* NFC East -- I picked Philly, which won. I still think they're gonna win the Stupid Brawl. The Giants surprised me, but then so did the Redskins, whom I had picked as a wild card but failed to make the field.
* NFC North -- Bears... Packers... Bears... Of course the Pack won, but I'm disappointed in Chicago for not making the playoffs. Losers!
Stupor Bore -- Philadelphia can't play Denver now, so instead I'll pick them to beat the Raiders.
