I have always been a football fan--much more of the NFL than college--though the extent of my fandom has largely consisted of watching and following the Chicago Bears. And the Super Bowl. Which have mostly been mutually exclusive.
Sometimes I throw away money in weekly football pools, but I have never played Fantasy Football, rarely watch regular season games in which I have no rooting interest and would be hard-pressed to name many players beyond the big stars and members of the Bears.
So I can hardly think of anyone less-equipped to make NFL predictions with any degree of expertise and acuity.
But last season, rather than bother with a Football Picks Post on Seth Saith, I simply threw up a couple guesses on Facebook.
And glory be, I was exactly right. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl and the Bears finished 8-8.
So now I feel obliged to offer up a slightly more comprehensive football forecast prior to the 2014 NFL Season kicking off Thursday night in Seattle with the Seahawks taking on the Packers.
So if you need intelligence with your NFL predictions, refer to ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports,
your local newspaper or myriad other outlets.
your local newspaper or myriad other outlets.
But, as surprise teams seem to spring up every year, chances are many "expert" picks will wind up being just as wrong as mine.
