Reputation Annihilation: NFL ‘08 Edition
Sep 04, 2008
The Sports Guy makes an excellent case (and blackjack metaphor) against making preseason predictions about the NFL. Today’s NFL is completely random from year to year with the exception of Indy & New England, but since I don’t have the years of being totally wrong that Bill Simmons does, I will start now…

2. NY Jets 10-6
3. Buffalo 8-8
4. Miami 4-12
AFC North
1. Pittsburgh 10-6
2. Cleveland 7-9
3. Cincinnati 7-9
4. Baltimore 4-12

3. Tennessee 7-9
4. Houston 6-10

2. Denver 8-8
3. Kansas City 5-11
4. Oakland 5-11

2. Philadelphia 9-7
3. NY Giants 9-7
4. Washington 7-9
NFC North
1. Minnesota 9-7

Seattle is not that good. They’re getting older at skill positions. But that division is weak. I guess my point is, I don’t think they are a Super Bowl team. Also, Seattle is home to the worst pro sports fans in the nation. Horrible. Just Horrible.

Seattle is less than “not that good.” They’re pretty darn bad and certainly not a Super Bowl team. However, I disagree with Seattle having the worst pro sports fans…they’re as good as anywhere else.

Mr. Spot did take a big steaming dump all over the NFC North, but thats what predictions are all about. I actually predict that Andrew from Philadelphia will give up women and embark on an asexual life of sitting on park benches spewing out random facts that he looked up on his Iphone. There will be large pauses in between facts due to not upgrading to the 3G.
Keep up the good work Mr. Spot, It takes a brave man to give every team in the league mediocre records as to never be off by more than two games, thus never really being completely right or completely wrong. In all honesty, I enjoy the blog and will be a loyal reader from here on out.

You think Green Bay has that bad of a season? They have a solid team and a great defense in an otherwise weak offensive division (at least at the quarterback position). I see them going 10-6.
Don’t sleep on Aaron Rogers, Mr. Spot!
I like the Steez with the toughest schedule in the NFL to go 12-4, but I worry I’m splitting hairs. A division win is a division win.
Sorry about those skins last night; I hope you didn’t stuff your neck too full of cookies and milk after the G-Men took you to church.
