The Lions are the only NFC North team to improve their record from 2012 to 2013, so they'll probably just finish 7-9 again unless Calvin gets injured.

coincidentally, the last time you had won a playoff game you played against the Raiders and Bo injured his hip and was forced to retire and we were crushed by the Bills in the AFC Championship game
so take your pick: DMC or MJD or wildcard halfback rookie

I'm assuming Steelers split series with Ravens and Bengals this year while taking losses to the Colts, Saints and Panthers. Is this prediction overly optimistic? Of course it is.

Bills weren't that bad a team last year and they mortgaged the future stupidly to get considerably better in the short term. lol bills and all but they had a pretty strong defense last year even before Byrd returned and were held back by their offense. Ideally Watkins and the new o-line additions make them an average offense while the addition of Brandon Spikes makes a good defense better


No offense to the raiders but a Matt Schaub led team in 2014 doesn't frighten me much

Williams for Johnson is roughly an even trade and the line got better :shrug:

And sure Watkins is a rookie but he's for sure a top-5 talent in his draft and that's a bit different than some 3rd rounder or even a late first developing

Browns prediction will remain unchanged:




Browns will go 5-11 and forever stay in the special type of hell where they're bad enough to be drafting in the top 5/top 10, but not bad enough to actually draft a player that will actually be a difference maker.

The Seahawks look good. Really good. I was originally worried about the nasty schedule they had, but with recent injuries/issues with the scarier teams they will be facing this year I am very optimistic.

Gonna say 12 to 13 wins in the regular season.

You know what, gently caress it, let's go.

:toxx: If I had more money I'd put more up for this but I'm pretty poor so yeah - $1 for each game I get wrong goes to the charity of choice for the first person who calls me out on this poo poo after the season ends. If the Packers win the Super Bowl I'll double it, I'll find a way even if I have to sell something.

W1: @Seahawks - W, The Seahawks don't scare me with these new rules, they can't mug everyone anymore
W2: Jets - W, lol
W3: @Lions - L, gently caress the Lions scare me. They are the most dangerous team in this division other than us now
W4: @Bears - L, and seriously gently caress the Bears I hope I'm wrong on this one
W5: Vikings - W, lol
W6: @Dolphins - W, I still don't believe the Dolphins are very good
W7: Panthers - W, they are gonna regress from last year
W8: @Saints - L, I just hope they don't beat us by 30

W10: Bears - W, I don't think they can win in Lambeau
W11: Eagles - W, Not in Lambeau, probably not even in Philly
W12: @Vikings - W, It's still the Vikings.
W13: Patriots - W, REVENGE FOR 2010, Hopefully this time Rodgers is on the field
W14: Falcons - W, haha seriously
W15: @Bills - W, it's the Bills
W16: @Bucs - L, because it's Lovie loving Smith and this totally looks like a trap game
W17: Lions - W, gently caress you, you're not sweeping us

12-4 if Rodgers doesn't die. 11-5 if something goes wrong. 7-9 or some other bullshit if something horrible happens. Go Pack Go.

W: The Browns are the old ravens and as of 2000 the Ravens hadn't won anything.
@ Saints
W: The Saints are still emotionally drained from Katrina and will be unable to focus on the game.
@ Texans
W: If the Texans can't win with Pro Bowl star Matt Schaub, how can they win without?
@ Buccaneers
W: Michael Johnson and Anthony Collin's deployment as sleeper agents is finally revealed.
vs. Steelers
W: Andy Dalton's game is good enough to gain consent prior.
@ Browns
W: Fun fact: The Browns have never beaten the Bengals ever.
vs. Broncos
W: Manning's tendency to choke in key situations slightly edges out Dalton's tendency to choke in key situations.
@ Steelers
W: The Bengals play their third stringers but still win when the Steelers all simultaneously suffer a crisis of individuality and show up the Penguins game.

Regular season: 17-0

Divisional round:
The Bengals never actually play their game after the league eliminates them in the wildcard round through force of habit.
