Certainly thinking outside the box. If I had any faith in Alex Smith I could see this as a possibility.

 

[Rockinkuwait]

Interesting... Some teams I'd put higher and lower but no real issues I see with the build.

Just giving it a quick look over...
7 teams with 4 or fewer wins is rare but happened in 2013.
Just 3 teams with 12 or more wins is low (2002 the first year the NFL had 32 teams is the only time it happened with 32 teams).


But put my Eagles at 13-3 instead and it's perfect. Solves both problems. lol.

what magical thing happened that would have given the Packers 4 more wins since your original post??

 

[USCDoom]

Well Minnesota and Dallas lost their QBs. Chicago looks much worse than I thought they would (though with Fox as coach they never show much in preseason). I also think the AFC South will not be as good as I thought they would (though maybe it wont show up in the records).

Basically almost every opponent Green Bay plays looks worse now than 4 weeks ago, while Green Bay looks very good.

hmmmm so you had the Packers losing to the Cowboys and the Vikings twice accounting for 3 losses?

I like this Super Bowl prediction. A little rematch between the 2. Would be fun.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I love the Oakland prediction but KC vs Minny in the SB? The Vikes don't even have a starting QB right now.

 

[USCDoom]

hmmmm so you had the Packers losing to the Cowboys and the Vikings twice accounting for 3 losses?

I did not predict each individual game. Basically I assigned a probability of a loss or win in each game, then put my gut feeling into it and come up with a record that fits. The Packers had the biggest jump by far from pre preseason and now. They had a 52% total, hence the 9-7 record, then they jumped up to 72%, the 13-3 record.

fair enough

I think that with the addition of a healthy Nelson, a slimmer, quicker Lacey, a return of a healthy Nelson and a much improved secondary, how anyone would translate into one extra loss from last season's debacle

just thinkin out loud brother

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Prediction: Another Raven fan will have an epic meltdown before seasons end. Book it. I think this message was approved by handicappers.

Not to be a dick, but wouldn't 72% be 12-4?
