Predictions from 2005... hit -n- miss
By Darryl Breckheimer
Special to primetime-football.com

What did I get right… I either NAILED the teams record or was withing 1 win/loss:
• Browns
• Patriots
• Bills
• Dolphins
• Jaguars
• Broncos
• Raiders
• Lions
• Packers
• Vikings
• Cowboys
• Giants
• Buccaneers
• Saints
• Panthers
• 49ers

WAY OFF… simply didn’t come close, off by at least 3 games:
• Ravens
• Bengals
• Jets
• Texans
• Colts
• Titans
• Chargers
• Chiefs
• Bears
• Redskins
• Eagles
• Falcons
• Rams
• Seahawks
• Cardinals

~ I missed the Rams & Steelers by 2 wins/losses ~

I underestimated… my apologies!

Really thought the Ravens were in for a down year… knowing Pickett was far from ELITE and numerous VETS moving on, saw the Ravens in store for a 7-9 season – WOW, was I off!

Listen, when I predicted the Bears and Panthers would go 0-16… I was exaggerating a little – that being said, I never saw a 7-9 season for the Bears (QB Aaron Rodgers, HB Frank Gore and TE Heath Miller had GREAT rookie seasons).

Hard to put much faith in a team with a scrambling QB (sorry, the history doesn’t support a promising outcome)… but, an 11-5 record with QB Michael Vick is to be PRAISED highly! I find it amazing that Vick was only sacked 48 times, had 19 TDs with only 6 turnovers and added 350+ yards on the ground.

My God, what happened???

AFC South… I predicted this division to go 47-17 overall, the division ended up 33-31and no team better than 9-7.
