Q1 Predictions


Predictions give us a chance to compete with the experts that we all already know we are smarter than. I pointlessly write e-mails to the horrible fantasy football forecasters and rankers of Yahoo!Sports, ESPN, and CBSSportsline telling them how obviously wrong they are. Right or wrong, the experts have a sweet job. So let's see what our "experts" at WCG can do. I am curious as to everyone's predictions and forecasts on this season's playoff teams and awards. DISCLAIMER: It is very early in the season and these predictions mean absolutely nothing. Some teams have a small sample size because of a Week 4 bye (ridiculous by the way). But, we have an early bye week so let's see what everyone is thinking.

 

My predictions after the jump: (No idea how to make a jump)

Well for rookie of the year, it will probably go to Harvin but at the end of the year if Knox has better numbers and he doesn’t get it I will be pissed!

Also,

If the Bears make the playoffs with a new QB and all the injuries and changes on defense, how does Lovie not win Coach of the year considering that he coached the team and ran the defense

Zack Morris of the NFL!

I’d be highly surprised if Dirty Sanchez and his world famous Zack attack of an arm doesn’t win ROY!

Sanchez doesn't give you that AC Salter Vibe?

Maybe so...

I guess Stafford fits the Zack Morris bill a little better.

And would that make Josh Freeman the NFL’s Screech Powers… He even kind of looks like him.

I think you hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer there. Good stuff.

not to be a downer guys/gals but I think the Vikes will take the North

I wish it wont be so, but it seems tthat way, with both Farve and Peterson

"It doesn't matter what country someone's from, or what they look like, or the color of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently some would say more correctly. I'm a person. Bret's a person. You're a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person. "

if Favre stays healthy, I agree

All safe picks except for the AFC West. I don’t see San Diego holding on there. They are getting worse, not better. We play them in two weeks, and I am calling that road win close, if not a win outright for the Broncos. I think Broncos win the AFC West, and that gives COY to McDaniels.
NFC North… man, how do you call that? Bears live in interesting times, that is certain.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

What I like about the Bears this year

Compared to last year is that last year, we’d lose a good deal of close games on one or two key plays (TB, Carolina, and Atlanta come to mind), any of which games would have taken us to the playoffs. This year, I feel like we’ve tipped the scales enough where we win those games. We’ll be making a strong push for division contention, and if Favre stays healthy, I see us taking the wild card. If not, the division is ours.
