User:Bob rulz/2008 NFL season predictions

My predictions for the 2008 NFL season! Probably way off, but meh, it's all in good fun.


 * UPDATE: I originally said that week 1 wouldn't affect my predictions, but the season-ending injury to Tom Brady changed the dynamic of the season. I never thought that it was a bad thing to wait until after week 1 for the predictions anyway, to get a feel for each of the teams and to allow yourself to settle into "football mode". I don't feel like the season really gets underway until after week 1.
 * UPDATE II: My regular season predictions are now final. Playoff predictions will come by September 12. See? Only minor changes anyway. Moved the Browns out the playoffs and the Broncos into the playoffs. Minor seeding changes. Knocked the Patriots' record down, as well as other minor record changes.
 * UPDATE III: My playoff predictions, and therefore all of my pre-season predictions, are now complete!
