Yeah. I'll show you how I picked them to finish before the season started (http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=35552 (http://www.tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=35552)) and how I picked their record week by week on Yahoo! sports (two weeks I didn't make predictions online, but I made them and saved them on my PC). So, let's see how Lotusdamus did (Actual record in parenthesis):
Seattle Seahawks (13-3)- TPWW: 9-7, Yahoo: 13-3 (made up for it w/ the week-by-week)
St. Louis Rams (6-10)- TPWW: 8-8, Yahoo: 10-6 (too much faith)
Arizona Cardinals (5-11)- TPWW: 8-8, Yahoo: 6-10 (meh)
San Francisco 49ers (4-12)- TPWW: 4-12, Yahoo: 2-14 (pretty good, eh?)
Chicago Bears (11-5)- TPWW: 4-12, Yahoo: 4-12 (at least I was consistent)
Minnesota Vikings (9-7)- TPWW: 10-6, Yahoo: 8-8 (right in the middle)
Detroit Lions (5-11)- TPWW: 7-9, Yahoo: 4-12 (in the middle)
Green Bay Packers (4-12)- TPWW: 8-8, Yahoo: 6-10 (got smarter as the season went on)
Atlanta Falcons (8-8)- TPWW: 12-4, Yahoo: 14-2 (well, I am a Falcons fan, so of course I'd be partial towards them...)
Carolina Panthers (11-5)- TPWW: 13-3, Yahoo: 13-3 (too much faith, but I was correct in picking them to win the division)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-5)- TPWW: 4-12, Yahoo: 6-10 (OUCH. Never bought into these guys)
New Orleans Saints (3-13)- TPWW: 5-11, Yahoo: 7-9 (For some reason, I have a lot of confidence in the Saints. And I'm usually wrong)
New York Giants (11-5)- TPWW: 7-9, Yahoo: 7-9 (conversely, I usually pick against the Giants, and usually I'm right; just not this year)
Philadelphia Eagles (6-10)- TPWW: 11-5, Yahoo: 10-6 (I always have too much faith in the Eagles, but who knew TO would be suspended for the year at the beginning of the season?)
Dallas Cowboys (9-7)- TPWW: 10-6, Yahoo: 9-7 (pretty good here)
Washington Redskins (10-6)- TPWW: 4-12, Yahoo: 5-11 (Uh, fuck me)
Baltimore Ravens (6-10)- TPWW: 12-4, Yahoo: 9-7 (Oh god, fuck me again; could have been worse on the yahoo: I started them out 6-0, luckily I smarted up a bit)
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)- TPWW: 10-6, Yahoo: 11-5 (pretty fuckin good)
Cleveland Browns (6-10)- TPWW: 4-12, Yahoo: 2-14 (just got worse for me here)
Cincinnati Bengals (11-5)- TPWW: 10-6, Yahoo: 14-2 (wow, a little too trigger happy for them on Yahoo)
Oakland Raiders (4-12)- TPWW: 7-9, Yahoo: 11-5 (I guess I let my love for the Raiders really fuck up my prediction here)
San Diego Chargers (9-7)- TPWW: 9-7, Yahoo: 11-5 (almost perfect, kinda)
Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)- TPWW: 9-7, Yahoo: 9-7 (pretty close)
Denver Broncos (13-3)- TPWW: 6-10, Yahoo: 7-9 (Jesus, that sucked a dick. Well, I guess that comes from me hating the Broncos)
Indianapolis Colts (14-2)- TPWW: 11-5, Yahoo: 11-5 (Eh; I don't know what I was thinking when I picked the Texans to beat them in Houston, put too much stock in to home field advantage; way too much)
Jacksonville Jaguars (12-4)- TPWW: 11-5, Yahoo: 12-4 (Pretty fuckin good if I do say so myself)
Houston Texans (2-14)- TPWW: 9-7, Yahoo: 5-11 (OUCH again. Horrible; I picked them to win 5 home games, including one against Indy. DUMBFUCK OVER HERE)
Tennessee Titans (4-12)- TPWW: 3-13, Yahoo: 3-13 (almost)
New England Patriots (10-6)- TPWW: 12-4, Yahoo: 13-3 (too much faith in the champs.)
Buffalo Bills (6-10)- TPWW: 8-8, Yahoo: 6-10 (Got it right on Yahoo at least)
New York Jets (4-12)- TPWW: 6-10, Yahoo: 3-13 (and you guys gave me shit for picking the Jets to go 6-10...)
Miami Dolphins (9-7)- TPWW: 7-9, Yahoo: 4-12 (they just looked awful, even in their wins. I guess that's why I kept on picking them to lose)
Well there you have it. I correctly guessed 2 out of 32 records in the preseason, and 5 out of 32 week by week on Yahoo. Pretty fugly, I suppose.
