Fearless NFL Predictions - Revisited
Okay, so predicting the future is tough, and we in the sports office are fairly horrible at it. At the start of the NFL season, we gave you our picks for the division, conference, and Super Bowl champions. Good news: Our conference and Super Bowl champs are still alive. Bad News: None of picked the divisions very well. In fact, nobody got more than 1 NFC division champs right. Here's our dirty laundry for all to see.

Comments
Craig Edwards, while he knows a lot about sports, clearly knows nothing of seeing past blind homer-ism. By admitting that he thought the Deion Branch and the Seahawks were going to beat New England shows class, but nonetheless exposes his inability to forecast real football games in the worst of ways.
