All these well thought out, insightful pre-preseason predictions, and not even one person had two teams in the final four. 😕 You gotta love football! 😃 ---

Well, one out of three ain’t bad. 😃 I did better than **Omni** , anyway. ---

I got a lot of them right too! Strangely my biggest issues seem to have been in predicting QB situations. My Packers pick assumed Favre would be with them, and the Jets pick that he wouldn’t be with them. Ditto Pennington re: Dolphins. I predicted that McNabb would be gone and the Eagles would suck as a result. I predicted the Titans and Vikings would be mediocre with Young and Jackson, but both ended up with better seasons with veteran leaders. I didn’t expect the Ravens and Falcons to get anything out of the QB position this year and therefore predicted bad years. My biggest misses were expecting Cleveland and Jacksonville to be good again and I didn’t think those terrible teams would be _that_ terrible. Also, my tradition of completely being at a loss to predict the NFC South continues. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > Lions beat Dolphins to finish 19-0 season. I suspect that this one might have been just the _slightest_ bit tongue-in-cheek, but nevertheless I do believe I can prove mathematically that this is the \*\*Worst. Prediction. Ever. \*\* ---

Hey, if I keep predicating the Cardinals will make it to the Super Bowl, one year it will happen. What are those playoff tickets doing on my fridge? 😛 ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Hey, I made a lot of predictions! I got a lot of them right too! Yeah, I know. I’m just jerking your chain. What’s funny is how remarkably prescient my Colts-Bucs Superbowl pick looked in Week 13, compared to how dumb it looks now… ---
