[yostevo 0]

4. Patriots win 8 games or less

5. Matt Moore finishes Top 12 Fantasy QB

6. Packers over Bengals in Superbowl

I'm pretty sure none of this happens. I love the enthusiiam though.

[xxxravagexxx 0]

Some of these probably won't be considered "fearless", so sue me. I was pretty accurate last year, so I figured I'd give it a shot again.

 

1. Super Bowl - Cowboys over Patriots
   
2. Teams on the way up - Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans (they'll win the AFC South)
   
3. Teams on the way down - Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints
   
4. After more popular players get injured this year (including Drew Brees & Peyton Manning), the NFL will regret their decision to extend the season in 2011
   
5. Chicago Bears will be the "hot" December team.
   
6. Most wins - New England Patriots
   
7. Least wins - Buffalo Bills
   
8. Offensive ROY - Ryan Matthews
   
9. Defensive ROY - Brandon Graham
   
10. First coach to be fired - John Fox
    
11. Kevin Kolb, Carson Palmer & Chad Henne will be top-10 fantasy QBs
    
12. Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger & Drew Brees will NOT be top-10 fantasy QBs
    
13. Shon Greene, Jamal Charles & Arian Foster will be top-10 fantasy RBs
    
14. Maurice Jones-Drew, Thomas Jones & Ricky Williams will NOT be top-10 fantasy RBS
    
15. Greg Jennings, Hakeem Nicks & Jabar Gaffney will be top-10 fantasy WRs
    
16. Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald & Vincent Jackson will NOT be top-10 fantasy WRs
    

[steelers2101 7]

1. Ahmad Bradshaw will be a top 10 running back, finishing with 1600 total yards and 10 TDs.

 

2. Not too fearless, but Jermichael Finley will be the #1 TE, finishing with 80 receptions, 1200 yards and 12 TDs.

 

3. If he doesn't get slowed by injuries or miss games, Percy Harvin will be a top 10 wide receiver and top 5 in leagues that count return yardage and/or touchdowns.

7) Greg Jennings finishes #2

 

8) Favre's consecutive starts streak ends week 7

 

9) Ronnie Brown will be the NFL Comeback Player of the Year

[TD Ryan2 314]

4) My fantasy team scores the most points in our league's history (gratuitous hehe here )

but you still end up losing your Fantasy Super Bowl and post constantly about how much you hate the Head to Head format.

[kmbryant09 1]

1. Jamaal Charles is a top5 Running Back...The Chiefs finish as a top10 offense.

 

2. Brett Favre's consecutive starts streak comes to an end.

 

3. Calvin Johnson finishes as the #1 Wide Receiver as Stafford is a top10 QuarterBack.

 

4. Mark Sanchez plays himself into a QB controversy as the Jets finish at or below .500.

 

5. The Falcons win the NFC South. Saints are a Wildcard team but lose early in the playoffs.

 

6. Kyle Orton is a top12 QB...mostly because the Broncos are playing from behind most of the season.

 

7. Maurice Jones-Drew, Steven Jackson, Drew Brees, Joe Flacco, Kevin Kolb, Andre Johnson, Anquan Boldin, & Brandon Marshall will be relative busts.

 

8. Ahmad Bradshaw, Joseph Addai, Tim Hightower, Eli Manning, Big Ben, Roddy White, Jabar Gaffney, & Steve Smith (CAR) will be relative bargains.

 

9. Peyton Manning wins MVP, Aaron Rodgers wins Offensive Player of the Year, Patrick Willis wins DEF MVP. C.J. Spiller & Ndamukong Suh are ROY's.

 

10. The Colts beat the 49ers in the SuperBowl

 

[Matt Mueller 146]

Not a stretch...but Rodgers and Peyton become the clear #1 fantasy options at QB while Brees slips down a notch.

[Smileseers 54]

** The longest field goal in NFL history is kicked in 2010.

 

** Randy Moss has 19+ TDs.

 

** Dexter Marqoise McCluster is ROY.

 

Jets win the Super Bowl because Rex and I said so (and they have the #1 DEF).

 

[SUXBNME 1,337]

1: Garcon out produes Wayne uh..no

2: Berrian grabs 80 for 1100 and 10 TD's 0-2

3: Brady and Moss light the league up meh

4: Devin Aromashodu becomes the teams top reciever by week 5I suck at this

5: LT replaces Greene as starter by week 6 looks good

6: FFT's hamsters survive until week 3 then go on strike for the rest of the season jury's still out

7: Brent Celek is #1 TE by seasons end not a chance in hell

8: CJ Spiller gets a season ending injury by week 5

9: Mike FF asks Giants Fan to be a staff writer- His first article "How to make Trades"

10: Mendenhall is the years biggest bust relative to ADP. I still hate him

 

It seems that I suck almost as bad as KSB2424 at this prediction stuff

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

- Patriots 10-6

- 49'ers surprise in NFC with a top 2 seed

- Detroit wins 7+ games and surprises

- Jets disappoint with 8 wins or less

- Chris Johnson wins MVP as he leads Titans to playoffs

- New Orleans struggles as defending SB champs, make playoffs, but make early exit

- Favre does not finish the season on active roster as he gets drilled early and often

- Malcolm Floyd is surprise WR in FF

Holy crap, that is some bad prognostication.

[SUXBNME 1,337]

 

Holy crap, that is some bad prognostication.

You got Floyd correct

2010 Fearless Predictions:

 

1. Dallas v. NY Jets Super Bowl. The Jets D will overcome the Colts in the conference final this time. No one else is ready in the AFC. Dallas just has so many weapons that are in their prime(or close to it) that I can't see the NFC keeping pace. The Packers will come up short against them in the conference final.

 

2. Tony Romo is the #1 fantasy QB and league MVP. He really had a great year last season but was overshadowed by some superlative performances from CJ/Peyton. Regardless of the plethora of RBs on this team, this team will succeed with the pass and their defense still has enough holes to make for some high scoring affairs.

 

3. James Jones finally overtakes Donald Driver either by injury or performance and posts top 25 WR #s. I've had my eye on this guy for awhile and he's just a playmaker waiting to happen.

 

4. John Carlson becomes a top 5 TE. Last year's seemingly pedestrian season will drive his ADP down but it shouldn't. Seattle's paper thin oline last year made Carlson a highly talented blocker. They will get him involved more. He's a bargain waiting to happen in your draft.

 

5. James Harrison is a top ten back. Coaches have treated him like a leper throughout his career and the drafting of Hardesty made me weary. However, Montario got hurt setting the rookie way back in camp and now Harrison finally gets the rock. The green light means go baby go. Delhomme gives at least a threat of a passing game which will free up Harrison just enough.

 

6. The defending Super Bowl champs don't even win their division. Say hello to the A-T-L

 

7. As always, I have to submit a Lions prediction. While they will stumble to a 5-11 record, they play well enough to be very optimistic in 2011. The big Honolulu blue and silver lining? Jahvid Best is the offensive ROY.

 

There you have it folks. Shred at will.

1. Both have looked real shaky at times. Dallas has only played 3 games but if they don't get their running game going, they won't even make the playoffs. Jets should continue to improve IMO with Holmes returning and a healthy Revis.

2. Not quite MVPesque but not bad either. He needs a running game.

3. Unless injured, Driver isn't going away.

4. I blame the coaches. They don't feature him enough and I have no idea why.

5. NO

6. ATL is playing well. This could happen.

7. Really had a chance to win all 4 games. 0-4 wasn't totally unexpected with a brutal opening part of the schedule. Stafford returning and staying on the field will result in some wins, but maybe not 5.

 

So far, pretty ugly.

[Bishop82 61]

And now for my 2010 Predictions:

1. Ray Rice will be a "Forte type" bust So far so good

2. Dez Bryant has a "Boldin type" of rookie year Too early to tell

3. Titans win their division Maybe

4. Vikings finish 3rd in the NFC North with Favre at QB Maybe

5. Super Bowl will be Dallas vs Chargers Not likely

6. Jay Cutler will be a top 5 QB Maybe if he returns from his concussion

7. Raiders and Panthers make the playoffs Maybe half right

8. Saints and Jets don't make the playoffs Not likely

9. #1 Fantasy QB is Tom Brady, #1 Fantasy RB is MJD, #1 Fantasy WR is Brandon Marshall so far so good sans MJD

10. Browns finish 10-6 Not likely

[yostevo 0]

Bump for personal evals.

[ashwiggins 0]

This would be the greatest prediction thread of all time if you would have just chosen the opposite of everything you predicted.

[RSersen 0]

1. The Steelers go at least 2-2 with Ben out, and make the playoffs. So far so good

2. Ryan Grant puts together another quiet top 10 fantasy RB season, still has an ADP of 3.05 in 2011. Wrong

3. Houston makes the playoffs (going to keep saying this until it happens, dammit). So far so good

4. Jamaal Charles finishes as a top 5 fantasy back with numbers similar to Ray Rice 2009. Too early to tell

5. The Jets start 1-3, finish 8-8. No playoffs for Fat Rex. Wrong

6. The Chiefs are a 7 to 9 win team, and are contending for a wildcard late in the season. So far so good

7. San Francisco wins the NFC West with a 9-7 record. Too early to tell

8. Tomlinson has enough left in the tank to be a menace to Greene owners all year long. Greene finishes outside of the top 15 fantasy backs. So far so good

9. Derrick Mason ends the year with better numbers (yards and TDs) than Anquan Boldin. Too early to tell

10. Green Bay wins the NFC North, and defeat the Vikings in the NFC Championsip in Lambeau. Favre is never heard from again. Too early to tell

 

4 of 10 looking good. Only two that are certainly wrong. Not a bad start.

[giraldi02 470]

In terms of fantasy predictions alone, I'll place these ten predictions:

 

1) Miles Austin will not be in the top 10 WR's in terms of scoring

2) Terrell Owens will be fantasy relevant, particularly in PPR leagues, amassing 60 catches this season

3) DeAngelo Williams will play a full 16 games, and be a top 5 RB

4) Neither Tom Brady nor Phillip Rivers will be top 5 QBs

5) Clinton Portis will rush for over 1000 yards, and miss time due to injury

6) Dustin Keller will outperform, and subsequently outscore, Tony Gonzalez

7) Jeremy Maclin will have more yards receiving than DeSean Jackson

8) Jamaal Charles will rush for 1,500 yards

9) Joseph Addai will top 1,000 yards rushing again

10) Derrick Mason will have more catches than Anquan Boldin

 

1) Accurate. Miles is the 17th ranked WR in my PPR league

2) TO already has 24 catches and is ahead of Miles Austin in scoring. Looks like I might have even low-balled him

3) Well...he's played all the games, but has a LONG way to go. Once Otah comes back, I like both DeAngelo and JStew's numbers to increase. But this one looks like a severe reach.

4) Rivers is a beast...and Brady is not far behind....

5) Well...1000 yards is not going to happen...but he did miss time with injury!

6) Keller has 50 more yards and 4 more TDs than Gonzo...and could've been had about 10 rounds later

7) Well...yardage wise it's not happening...but points wise they're almost identical thanks to the TD difference

8) Ef Todd Haley

9) Addai is close to the right average. At this rate, he'd be around 920 yards.

10) Yeah..........

10) Yeah..........

Why would you compare Miles Austin on an overall basis? He's played 3 games, nearly everyone else has played 4. Also why TO has more points than Austin...

[dpbuddha 9]

1. Owen Daniels will be a top-3 TE this season.

 

2. Philly TEAM QB will be the #1 TEAM QB this season.

 

3. Cutler will be in the top 3 QBs this season.

 

4. T.O. will catch 10 TDs this season.

 

5. Ryan Matthews AND Shonn Greene will be top-5 RBs this season.

 

6. Frank Gore will finish outside the top-10 RBs

 

7. Antonio Gates will finish outside the top-5 TEs

 

8. Larry Fitzgerald will finish outside the top-15 WRs

 

1...nope.

2...looking pretty good.

3...probably not but we'll see.

4...Well on pace.

5...No F-ing way.

6...On the cusp.

7...Doubtful

8...Maybe this wasn't much of a stretch but this is going to come true.

[lexdizzle 1]

My 2010 Predictions:

 

1. Frank Gore is the top RB with 2400 total yards and 18tds...and doesnt miss a game

 

2. Knox and Bowe top 10 WR, Ochocinco and TO both top 20 WR, Jacoby & James Jones top 30 WR

 

3. Welker is a bust and EDELMAN is the late round steal!

 

4. Michael Bush and Ahmad Bradshaw are top 10 RB's

 

5. Vernon Davis wont crack top 8 TE

 

6. Colts vs Packers Superbowl ::: Colts 35 def Packers 24

 

Its fun to look back and see these and say what the hell...we all tend to miss more than nail any.

 

i thought deserved a week 15 bump because many playoffs end next week.

[TD Ryan2 314]

9. Tim Hightower outproduces Beanie Wells RIGHT

10. Eddie Royal is closer to 2008 than 2009 WRONG glad i didnt take my own advice here

 

4 correct calls out of 10 with the Derrick Mason prediction being very close to a 5th. Id say thats not bad.

6) Calvin Johnson finishes as the #1 WR in the NFL this year (due to Stafford's improvement and Best's threat) WRONG - but did very well

8) Favre's consecutive starts streak ends week 7 WRONG - ended week 14

 

9) Ronnie Brown will be the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Yeah. Not.

1.3 out of 10, I better just stick to masturbating

[giraldi02 470]

1) Miles Austin will not be in the top 10 WR's in terms of scoring

2) Terrell Owens will be fantasy relevant, particularly in PPR leagues, amassing 60 catches this season

8) Jamaal Charles will rush for 1,500 yards

9) Joseph Addai will top 1,000 yards rushing again

10) Derrick Mason will have more catches than Anquan Boldin

 

Man...I came close on a lot of them, but still wrong on a lot of them.

 

1) Miles Austin wasn't in the top 10 WR's in any of my leagues

2) TO surpassed my modest expectations and nabbed 72 balls

3) WRONG

4) WRONG/WRONG

5) WRONG, but he did miss a lot of time due to injury

6) Keller had 55 catches for 687 and 5tds, Gonzo had 70 for 656 and 6tds. Keller definitely didn't outproduce him, but he was near identical value in non PPR leagues

7) DeSean beat him by 92 yards. Damn.

8) Charles ran for 1467. Double Damn.

9) WRONG

10) Boldin had 3 more catches than Mason. Triple Damn.

[FantasyKing 4]

1) Aaron Rodgers wins MVP

 

2) Packers over Ravens in the Superbowl

 

3) Jahvid Best and Ryan Mathews share co-ROY

 

4) My fantasy team scores the most points in our league's history (gratuitous hehe here )

7) Greg Jennings finishes #2

 

8) Favre's consecutive starts streak ends week 7

 

9) Ronnie Brown will be the NFL Comeback Player of the Year

 

 

Gotta say this is some pretty damn good stuff here.

[FantasyKing 4]

This would be the greatest prediction thread of all time if you would have just chosen the opposite of everything you predicted.

 

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

- Patriots 10-6. Do I get credit if they did better than everyone else thought?

- 49'ers surprise in NFC with a top 2 seed. Umm no.

- Detroit wins 7+ games and surprises Close. 6 wins and a surprise.

- Jets disappoint with 8 wins or less Umm no.

- Chris Johnson wins MVP as he leads Titans to playoffs. Not even close

- New Orleans struggles as defending SB champs, make playoffs, but make early exit.

- Favre does not finish the season on active roster as he gets drilled early and often

- Malcolm Floyd is surprise WR in FF Half a point?

- Slaton returns as a contributor as Foster doesn't live up to the hype due to injury. Epic Fail.
