Let's look at the predictions of yore (yore meaning back in September)...
Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post predicted the following:
And now, the fearless picks. In the NFC, the Rams, Packers, Bucs and Giants will win their divisions. The Eagles and Saints will earn the wild-card spots. Favre will be the MVP. In the AFC, the Raiders, Steelers, Colts and Dolphins will win their divisions. The Chiefs and Ravens will earn wild cards. Portis and Williams will rush for 2,000 yards and Williams will be the MVP.
Tampa Bay will repeat by beating the Steelers in the Super Bowl.
So far, he's only gotten one thing right--the Rams, though he could get the Colts and Dolphins right. His Super Bowl prediction was shot to hell early (my condolences, Griff).
Chewie sure as shit ain't getting a cheesesteak from me...the Giants in the Super Bowl...pffft! (My condolences.)
Ep said the Chiefs would take the AFC West. Nice call. Don't count them out yet...they could be the surprise of the playoffs.
My predictions were the Eagles not going 12-4 and the Rams at 10-6. The latter is one prediction I'm happy to have fucked up.
Eagles could end up 12-4, but if they fuck up next weekend and Dallas wins (which I'm sure Jimbo is salivating over), they'll be 11-5 and will have pissed away a good playoff setup.
I hate Washington...go Eagles! I desperately want a repeat of the NFC Championship 2 years ago.
My playoff predictions are as follows:
NFC First Week:
Dallas (3) over Green Bay (6)
Carolina (4) over Minnesota (5)
Divisional Playoff:
St. Louis (1) over Carolina
Philadelphia (2) over Dallas
Championship:
St. Louis over Philadelphia
AFC First Week:
Baltimore (6) over Kansas City (3)
Tennessee (4) over Miami (5)
Divisional Playoff:
New England (1) over Baltimore
Indianapolis (2) over Tennessee
Championship:
New England over Indianapolis
Super Bowl 38: St. Louis over New England in a rematch of Super Bowl 36.
