Always fun (and humbling) to look back at how bad of a job you projecting the NFL season, right? Back in September, we projected a Patriots-Panthers Super Bowl. Injuries crippled Carolina from the outset and it didn’t even reach the playoffs. Our preseason playoff picks in the NFC: one of six. Ouch. Only had Dallas. That’s what we get for taking a chance on Arizona! In the AFC we fared slightly better: three out of six. Our darkhorse Super Bowl was Dallas-San Diego, which at least was remotely close to happening.

We couldn’t have been more wrong about the Giants: “Will they continue to be a team divided (Eli vs. Coughlin), or will this Tiki mess unify the G-Men? We’re guessing neither, and leaning toward a Reuben Droughns arrest, a Shockey outburst, and the end of the season will culminate with a firing and perhaps the trading of Eli.”
