Around SBN: Perfect Script? No. Matter? No. Steelers Improve To 8-3 Bar-right-arrows



Division Champion Community Predictions Review

This was a topic created by Braekneck way back in August:

http://www.ninersnation.com/story/2007/8/8/20841/18440

I am bored at work, and remembered it, so I thought it would be a good time to review picks.  I'm only going to analyze my own predictions, but I encourage everyone else to analyze anyone's, in addition to their own (if you made predictions).  Here's how I had it playing out:

AFCE:  Pats.  Easy win, hardly counts.

AFCN:  Steelers.  I'm fairly happy with this prediction as I nailed both Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

AFCS:  Colts.  Another easy one.

AFCW:  Broncos.  Whoops, I let my hatred for Norv guide me here.  It's not surprising that following personal dislikes led me astray.

NFCE:  Philly.  Ouch.  I have to say, I think they were really unlucky, but that doesn't matter too much now.  I definitely whiffed big predicting a Romo collapse.

NFCN:  Bears.  Fook Mi.  Where to start:  1) I claimed this was an easy pick. 2) I predicted improvement for Grossman. 3) I laughed in the face of Green Bay, Brett Farve, and anyone who predicted them to win the division. 4) My Superbowl winner was the Bears.  I suck, everyone point and laugh.

NFCS:  Saints.  The surprise team from 2006 surprised again by tanking in 2007.  This division sucked balls, so I don't really care that I missed on Tampa.

NFCW:  Niners.  Everyone knows how this went, but I'm still happy with this pick.  The O-line and QB health issues were impossible to see in advance.  I'm giving myself a moral incomplete for this until the 2008 season plays out.

Superbowl:  Chicago over Pittsburgh.  Vegas has not contacted me to learn the secret art of predicting.

All-in-all, I went 3-5.  3 of 4 in the AFC, but two were the Pats and Colts.  I'm sort of amazed at how badly I missed on the NFC, since you would think I would know that conference better.  Oh well, I'll do better next year.

I didn't make any picks. :(
I was active in that thread, but I didn't make any picks. What was I thinking? Not in a bar in California, that's for sure....

Alright, so awkward references aside and I'll go ahead and say the bright side of all this is that I don't have to look like a moron today for having picked SF, MIN, PHI, NO, DEN, and CIN (which I think pretty assuredly would have been my call at the time... ouch).

I keep reliving the moment when Steve Young almost fell down... over and over....

summer's not a good time for me - I work for a summer camp and don't spend much time in front of a computer, so I had nothin to do with that thread.
Bring back the classic Uni's!
