Midseason Review II

Before talking about my projections, let me just say that this was a bitch to post because it doesn't recognize spaces. Sorry if it is hard to read. Anyways, lets see how bad I did.

NFL - Lions
Team (Prediction) Result
Green Bay Packers (Loss) Win
@ Chicago Bears (Win) Loss
@ Tampa Bay Bucs (Win) Loss
Baltimore Ravens (Loss) Win
Carolina Panthers (Win) Loss
@ Cleveland Browns (Win) Win
Chicago Bears (Win) Loss
@ Minnesota Vikings (Loss) Loss

...So I was 2 for 8 because I correctly predicted they'd beat the Browns and lose to the Vikings. OUCH. I estimated that they'd have a record of 5-3 and their record is 3-5. Let's see if I can make up for it in the 2nd half.

Game (Prediction) New Prediction
Arizona Cardinals (Win) Win
@ Dallas Cowboys (Loss) Loss
Atlanta Falcons (Loss) Loss
Minnesota Vikings (Win) Win
@ Green Bay Packers (Loss) Loss
Cinncinati Bengals (Win) Loss
@ New Orleans Saints (Win) Win
@ Pittsburgh Steelers (Loss) Loss

I originally predicted them to end the season 4-4, but I think another 3-5 is more likely. If they do finish 6-10, they will miss the playoffs and axe Harrington and Rogers.

Conference (Previous Prediction) Current Prediction
NFC East: (Philadelphia Eagles) New York Giants
NFC North: (Minnesota Vikings) Chicago Bears
NFC South: (Carolina Panthers) Carolina Panthers
NFC West: (St Louis Rams) Seattle Seahawks
Wild Card: (Falcons, Seahawks) Falcons, Rams

AFC East: (New England Patriots) New England Patriots
AFC North: (Pittsburgh Steelers) Cincinnati Bengals
AFC South: (Indianapolis Colts) Indianapolis Colts
AFC West: (San Diego Chargers) San Diego Chargers
Wild Card: (Chiefs, Bengals) Broncos, Steelers

MVP: (Peyton Manning) Edgerrin James
ROY: (JJ Arrington) DeMarcus Ware (I have no idea)
AFC Champ: (Colts) Colts
NFC Champ: (Vikings) Panthers
NFL Champ: (Colts) Colts

3 Bold Second Half Predictions
1) The Vikings are gonna make a run. Brad Johnson told his WRs to run their routes correctly and the ball will be there. Their timing against the Lions looked good. They started the season 3-5, they'll go 5-3 in the second half.
2) The Colts will lose their first game in week 11 in Cincinnati. Did anyone else realize Indy has 3 Monday night games? Is that fair? Yes, yes it is.
3) I will defeat Mike's dad in the finals of our fantasy football league! HA!
