2013 NFL Predictions: Preseason

Predicting the NFL season is like predicting the weather. You can look at patterns and trends and based on that try to predict exactly what's going to happen, but in the long run you aren't going to get everything right because it is so unpredictable at times. So despite this, why do I do season predictions? Well, the answer is simple. It's fun. Even if I end up being wrong, I just enjoy putting thought and energy into the NFL in trying to determine what is going to happen and of course I enjoy the discussion that ensues after doing so. If you don't know my system, I copy down every team's schedules and then predict everything game by game. In doing so I sometimes surprise myself just as much as anyone. In addition to what I have for you in this post, I will be doing a season preview where I discuss my thoughts on each team, division by division, so stay tuned for that. But for now here is the numbers and predictions for what I have come up with in what should be a fantastic season!

And now after looking over this, don't just look at the numbers I came up with, read my explanations with my AFC PREVIEW and my NFC PREVIEW linked to you right in this sentence.
