Ole' 45 Calling It Like I See It.......Sometimes the Vision May Be Cloudy



In August every Sports Media Outlet on TV and Radio will present to you their prognostications for the upcoming NFL season. It has always shocked me that you don't have specials that look back at how those prognostications fared. Perhaps these analyst don't want tobe seen as idiots or perhaps the process would be about as useful as the initial process itself just less entertaining. The 64/60 isn't your typical media outlet we encourage embarassment and embrace being labled idiots. So for everyone out their who is nauseated by all the UK Basketball Topics on this site, as I am, here is a look back at my predictions for the NFL season and let me just say it's amazing how wrong one person can be on such a consistent basis.

Team by Team Predictions (Originally Posted on 9/9/10)


Bears- Jay Cutler will be a All-Pro QB even with his 20 INT.

Packers- The sheik Packers Super Bowl pick will be as succesful as last season sheik Super Bowl pick, the Packers.

Vikings- Brett Favre's 2011 won't be as magical but Peterson will carry them back into the NFC Championship.

Lions- With Suh and Best on board the Thanksgiving Day Lions game will not make you lose the Turkey.

Saints- Those who used a first round selection on Drew Brees will suffer the same fate as the Saints and will be on the outside looking in come playoff time.

Falcons- Michael Turner will lead the leauge in Rushing and the Falcons into the playoffs.

Panthers- Jimmy Clausen will take over for Moore by Week 6.

Buccaneers- Bucs battle Rams for worst team in NFC.

49ers- In fear of what Alex Smith will do the 49ers may be the first team ever to routinely punt on anything longer than 3rd and 5. Despite this they will still make the playoffs.

Seahawks- Pete Carrol's chances of a Postseason berth is slightly less than his former employers.

Cardinals- News Break: With the Cardinals decision to go with Derrek Anderson expect some regression from last seasons playoff run.

Rams- Bradford's development comes in 4th Quarters down by 20.

Cowboys- Cowboys Super Bowl abscence ends this season.

Giants- Giants 2009 will be a distant memory a return trip to the playoffs should be expected.

Redskins- After years of terrible WR's with the Eagles McNabb looks the repeat the situation.

Eagles- The city of Philadelphia and youth movement doesn't seem to mix.

Steelers- Steelers go 3-1 with Dixon and return to the playoffs.

Bengals- Cinco and Owens set NFL record marks for fines in a season as each week the must top one another.

Ravens- Ravens become a team lead by the offense in 2010.

Browns- GM stint with Browns will only accelerate the erosion of Holmgren's resume.

Chargers- Their is a fine line between a perenial playoff team and a rebuilding franchise. The Chargers have crossed it.

Chiefs- Romeo and Charles bring their past success to the Chiefs.

Raiders- The Raiders attempt to make a playoff push while Al Davis unintentionally sabotages the team on a daily basis.

Broncos- With Tebow in the fold the Broncos become the first Proffesional Sports team approved by God and all religous fractions associated with him.

Jaguars- The Jaguars countdown to LA begins.

Titans- Any decrease in production by Chris Johnson adds more pressure to Vince Young and a increase in Sports Psychologist in the Nashville area.

Texans- Once again a sheik pick for a playoff spot, once again fall just short thanks to 0-2 mark against Colts.

Colts- Colts once again threaten 14 Wins or more.

Jets- Rex Ryan some how talks himself into the playoffs despite a 8-8 record.

Patriots- Brady and Co. can no longer outscore everyone and D isn't up for the challenge.

Dolphins- Marshall catches 100 passes for 1400 yards and 14 TD's. Dolphins to the playoffs.
