Yep. There they are. I went game by game, week by week, and picked who I thought would win each game. (Actually, I wrote this post last week). It didn’t take as long as it sounds. Anyway, I can’t wait for a star quarterback (Tom Brady?) or running back (Reggie Bush?) to go down and completely ruin my predictions. Or maybe a rookie coach turns out better than I thought (Tampa Bay, Detroit, St. Louis, San Francisco- you hear me?). Maybe Wade Phillips surprises everybody and coaches Dallas to the playoffs. When I did these, I didn’t expect that Carolina would end up ahead of Atlanta (a team I would’ve put in the playoffs). The only thing I took into consideration was the recent trend that the Super Bowl loser has made the playoffs the following year. Then again, Pittsburgh kind of stole this last one, so maybe Arizona pulls a Seattle and makes it.
In addition to my final standings predictions, I’m posting my playoffs predictions (which are likely based solely on emotion and wishful thinking than anything legitimate), as well. Enjoy. Tear apart. Cry. Rejoice. Whatever.
Anyway. By week three we’ll all realize how completely wrong I am. Maybe that’s why I picked New Orleans. Go Saints!
