Well, it’s that time of year again.

The preseason is over, and we’re finally on the verge of some good old, all-american football.

If you remember, last year I went through every NFL game, predicting the record of each team in the NFL, compiling that into standings, and then from there, made some playoff predictions.

The good: I correctly predicted the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, and got 4 out of the 6 teams to make the playoffs in the AFC

The bad: I completely bombed the NFC, only correctly guessing the Rams and Eagles would make the postseason.

6 out of 12 ain’t too bad, but this year, I’m looking to do better.

This is how I see the NFL shaking out this season (bonus, I’ll do awards too!)
