2023 Predictions Sure to Go Wrong

[averagejoe]

@TREFF

Did this with your yearly post in mind.
This is not based on anything except math.
All I did was plug in the offensive rankings (points; yards; turnovers; sacks) of each NFL team, then bounce those same rankings off each team's 17-game schedule (average).

Here are the playoff seeds based on this:

AFC (* Division winner)
1) JAC*
2) KC*
3) MIA*
4) CIN*
5) BUF
6) LV
7) LAC

NFC (* Division winner)
1) DET*
2) SF*
3) PHI*
4) TB*
5) DAL
6) SEA
7) GB

If anyone sees a problem, take it up with Jack Black.

There's some predictions I'd love to see (but probably won't):

• Aaron Rodgers gets benched by week 8.
• Jordan Love leads all QB in turnovers.
  • Followed by Anthony Richardson.
• Justin Fields throws for 3999 yards (keeping the Bears streak alive).
• UDFAs Sean Tucker and Jaleel McLaughlin lead all rookie RB in rushing (which will drop the value on all RB even more in 2024).
• Fans throw plastic sample size bottles of Johnson & Johnsons Baby Lotion at Desean Watson at every road game.

Since we're throwing out hyperboles, pick a player with a chronic injury history who plays all 17 games.
(Maybe call it the Fred Taylor Award.)

I'll take Dobbins.

Any thoughts on FANTASY predictions gone awry?

I thought Pittsburgh was gonna find their offense this year. Thought both Pickett & Pickens were gonna have a kickass season.
It was quickly shown to me. How stupid I am LOL

 

[eaglesnut]

I predict I will draft a great playoff scoring team that will miss the playoffs by a very wide margin.

Most my guys crushed yesterday, hello terry.

I thought for sure Kenneth Walker was gonna be a stud. Maybe next year.

 

[Chef99]

Ooh, a positive one! Devin Singletary!

I'm happy for "Motor"! I always liked that guy.

impeccable timing, he looked great vs Philly tonight, took over that 3rd qtr

besides the game he got injured and the game he split with Charbs as they eased him back in, really only 1 poor performance on the season

Picked chroniclly-injured Dobbins to last the entire season.
He tore his Achilles 3 days later. Game 1.

Miami: Mostert doesn’t miss a game, and finishes top three in rushing yards (10th in yards, but 1st in TDs, well done)
NYJ: Garrett Wilson leads league in targets (4th in targets, nice call)
New England: no receiver breaks 600 yards (CRUSHED IT)

Jacksonville: Trevor Lawrence is QB3 (another great call, pretty sure he was the QB3 of the AFC South this season)

Denver: Trautman outsnaps Dulcich

Detroit: Jameson Williams gets that second catch this year (nailed it!)
Chicago: DJ Moore double digit TD, top ten WR (only 8 TDs but was WR6 on the season)

Dallas: Lamb catches 150 passes (135rec on 181tar, close!)

Seattle: Tyler Lockett finally has a season that corresponds to his neglected ADP (WR34, think he finally performed worse than his ADP for the first time in his career)

so close on this one!!!

San Francisco: lose the Super Bowl to the Buffalo Bills

pretty damn good stuff @TKOSpikes
