NFL Predictions

It's that time of year again. When Browns fans start dreaming about what could be again. When Bengals fans argue with Browns fans for no reason. When Steelers fans remind both they have been better than both for the past 3 decades. And so on...

The NFL season is just days away and I couldn't be happier. For the first time in what seems like a while, it's hard to point out just one team that will dominate. For the past few years, it's been the Colts or Patriots but it seems like both may be a bit down this year. This year, it is truly a crap shoot.

And the great thing for me is that without a favorite NFL team I root for every week, I get to predict the season without bias (to a point). So after 3 fantasy drafts, endless amounts of hours watching NFL Live and doing some research of my own, I'm ready to give you my 2008 NFL Predictions.
