First off, I am trying out a new iPad app for blogging, and this is my first post using it. So if things look strange, I apologize and it will be worked out. That said, onward we go.
Finally, the new NFL season is here. The season opener is tonight, and that obviously means that I must join the legions of TV personalities, writers, tweeters, and other "experts" by providing my preseason picks and predictions.
Since I will not likely finish writing this before the game starts this evening, I want to state that I will be putting the Green Bay Packers back in the Super Bowl regardless of how good or how bad they look against the Saints tonight. Also, this is written after hearing about Peyton Manning's surgery today. I am assuming Manning plays less than 6 games.
Also, if you are a keen observer, or you just love looking for non-vital things to attack or argue about, you can add up all the records and note that there is a disproportionate number of wins to losses. I am not going through the entire NFL schedule game by game to predict these teams. I am merely approximating the record that I think each team is capable of achieving.
Drum roll please...
