Just ran across this piece on NFL.com that lists what strike me as six pretty wild predictions: Midseason report: Bold second-half predictions - NFL.com
Three of the predictions are that both Seattle and Dallas fail to make the playoffs, while the Giants do make the playoffs. A fourth prediction is that Cleveland makes the playoffs, due to Manziel replacing Hoyer. A fifth prediction is that Mark Ingram rushes for more yards than any other RB the rest of the season. And the final prediction is that the Steelers win the SB.
Since none of these predictions strike me as particularly likely and some of them seem almost impossible, I was wondering how Vegas would handicap each of them. Which do you think the bookmakers would consider most likely and which least likely?
Personally, I think that Hoyer getting benched and then Manziel leading the Browns to the playoffs is least likely, and Ingram rushing for the most yards of any RB over the remainder the season is most likely.
