A Look Back



How did my NFL 2012 predictions turn out in the regular season?  Well some truth and fiction.  Let’s start with where I screwed up.

-          Jets and Bills at 11-5 and in the playoffs.  Ouch!
-          Bengals go 6-10.  I respect the Dalton a lot more!
-          Colts 5-11.  Tell you what, they’ve won a lot of close games.  My guess is they take at least a 3-4 game decrease next year.
-          Chiefs win the AFC west at 9-7.  Ouch!! 
-          Broncos at 8-8 miss the playoffs.  Ouchie Mama!!!
-          Eagles at 10-6, Redskins at 3-13.  Philadelphia’s wheels definitely fell off.  RG3 and Alfred Morris are a lot better than I thought.  I didn’t even know who Morris was actually.
-          Lions 11-5, Vikings 4-12.  Double Ouch!
-          Seahawks 7-9 and Rams 4-12.  Now I did say that the Hawks would improve down the stretch but thought their early schedule was too difficult.  Home wins vs GB and NE made a huge impact in their win column.

Now with where I succeeded…

-          Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Packers, Falcons, and 49ers all won their divisions as predicted.
-          Steelers did not make the playoffs as predicted.
-          Jaguars were exactly 2-14.  Titans 6-10.  Buccaneers 7-9.
-          Browns were last in AFC north (although anyone would’ve predicted that)
-          The following teams had either 1 more win or loss than I predicted…Ravens, Texans, Giants, Cowboys, Packers, Bears, Panthers, Saints, and Cardinals

Overall Playoff Teams…

-          I was able to get 6 out of 12 on playoff participants…pretty bad really
-          Teams that didn’t make it which I picked:  Jets, Bills, Chiefs, Giants, Bears, and Lions (4 of which seem very ridiculous)
-          Teams that did make it which I didn’t pick:  Seahawks, Redskins, Vikings, Broncos, Colts, and Bengals (can see Denver in retrospect but consider what most of us thought of the other 5 teams QBs before the season began)

Hey, it’s fun to predict and more fun to see how I do.  Give me your thoughts!!!
