It is football season again. By the time this article is published, the first week of the regular season will already be on the books. The following is my prediction of what the results of this season will be. In 17 weeks we will see just how right or wrong I am, at least as far as the playoffs go.

• Exiting Playoffs: Baltimore, Washington Baltimore defense is just too weak, RGIII will get hurt.
• Joining Playoffs: New York Giants, Pittsburgh both purely on defense
• San Francisco moves from division champion to wild card Keapernick will get hurt
• Cincinnati and Seattle move from wild card to division champion Overwhelming talent
• All four divisional playoff games will be blowouts (more than 14 point victories)

Super Bowl: Atlanta vs Houston

Super Bowl Champion: Atlanta Falcons

Super Bowl XLVII is now in the history books. It was the story of two halves. In the first half, the Baltimore Ravens simply out classed the San Francisco 49ers. It was 21-6 at half time and looked to be out of control. A half time of Beyoncé interrupted the action, but Baltimore followed up […]
