Lucas1138 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Methodology: I went through the schedule week by week and picked the games. It was basically an exercise of "who would I favor in this game." As a result, the records skew high on top and low on bottom. The basic order holds true though. AFC1. Indianapolis 14-22. Denver 14-23. Pittsburgh 13-34. New England 13-35. Baltimore 12-46. San Diego NFC1. Green Bay 15-12. Seattle 13-33. Dallas 13-34. New Orleans 12-45. Philadelphia 12-46.

The Choc Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That's alot of really good records. 8 teams with 13 wins? Last year there were none. Year before that 2. Before that 2 again. I just see no way that many teams win that many games. Also, there is no way 3 teams win only 1 game each. Quick and easy I'd say this AFCEastPats 12-4Phins 9-7Bills 8-8Jets 6-10 NorthPitts 11-5Balt 10-6Cincy 10-6Browns 5-11 SouthColts 12-4Texans 8-8Titans 5-11Jax 2-14 WestBroncos 12-4Chargers 10-6Chiefs 8-8Raiders 4-12 NFC EastBoys 11-5Giants 9-7Eagles 9-7Skins 3-13 NorthPack 12-4Lions 8-8VIkes 7-9Bears 6-10 SouthSaints 10-6Panthers 9-7Falcons 8-8Bucs 5-11 WestHawks 13-3Cards 10-6Rams 9-7Niners 4-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You can't expect me to read your whole post, can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 But in reality it woulda been quicker to read that one sentence rather than going back and looking up the standings for the previous few seasons to make my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Looking around the most popular NFL sites the Packers are the sexy pick for the NFC. I'd agree expect for losing their best receiver. Sure its not like losing your QB but a key drop here and there is probably worth a couple extra losses. The margin for error in the NFL is so low.

Lucas1138 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I generally agree... but Aaron Rodgers, man. He's so good. He's the level beyond good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 The trendy pick is nearly always the teams that lose in the Conference Title Games the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yep. The ballsy ones are the guys who go with the teams who lost in the divisional round. You never see anyone pick a 6-10 team to go all the way, because ultimately they don't know shit. If they did they'd be more than just NFL "analysts." They're just fans who spew their shit out and hope they can keep it going for as long as they can. And why not? Does anyone really remember just how wrong these guys are year after year?

Lucas1138 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 For the record, this is what I had last year: AFC1. Denver (14-2)2. New England (13-3)3. Indianapolis (12-4)4. Pittsburgh (11-5)5. San Diego (11-5)6. Cincinnati (10-6) NFC1. Seattle (13-3)2. New Orleans (13-3)3. Green Bay (13-3)4. Philadelphia (10-6)5. San Francisco (11-5)6. Carolina Panthers (10-6) I got 5/6 AFC teams right, but only 3/6 NFC teams (NFCS boned me, picked the wrong NFCW team).... I did have 5 of the final 8 nailed down - not that they were particularly difficult to predict (Denver, New England, Indy, Seattle, Green Bay). My one big regret was having Dallas miss out on tiebreak. I loved that team last year. As a result I probably overcompensated this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm not doing full win/loss standings, but here's what I got. NFC East1. Dallas (3)2. Philadelphia3. New York4.

Lucas1138 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I really tried to talk myself into Minnesota or Miami, but I just couldn't. I can see the pieces there for both of those teams and a playoff season won't shock me, but I want to see it happen first before I become a believer.
