Hows being picked to win the Superbowl refreshing? I HATE IT!!

lol sounds like some pretty in depth predictions, especially in the off-season. I can live with some people saying that cleveland wins our division, but I highly doubt if they do indeed play Jax in the playoffs that they have much of a chance. Its kinda funny though, because for all this speculation who knows who will even reach the playoffs this year until the season plays out

i don't really care what the sports writers and casters picks are. they do not mean anything. the pats will have a good chance to win it this year, but everyone already knows that.

Although I admit it was nice (and thanks btw

) in the end, so what? Like you said it was two kids playing Madden in Mom's basement. In the end it is as relevant as Dr.Z or Wilbon.

We are going to get it done this year, no doubt about it. If anything we have gotter a tad bit better(if thats even possible) because we've gotten faster and younger on the defensive side of the ball despite losing asante

I like the way it breaks down all playoffs and other stats,real cool to see they pick Tom Brady as offensive player of the year and Jerod Mayo as defensive rookie of the year.

Must be computerized by a computer made in New England

Lets see how accurate it stands in about 8 months from now...

I have to question the Ravens and Bengals at 5-11 and Texans at 6-10,I think those 3 teams are a bit better than that

Chad Jackson has two catches for TD's in the Super Bowl? Ummm, if Vegas is taking odds on that I will give it is a shot, but I am not holding my breath on it.

Sorry to bring this up, but, seeing that this is the offseason and all, and no games have been played yet, I can't figure out for the life of me what statistics form the basis for this computer simulation. If it's last year's stats, wouldn't that be more predictive of last year than this year? Or is it like Madden, with speed, strength, etc. metrics?
