Hopefully they can surprise some people this year!

On the Bengals Paul Brown Show with Phil Samp around 1971 or 1972, Samp asked Paul Brown about the preseason predictions.  Already Hall Of Fame Paul Brown said, "  Every summer all of these media preseason predictions come out. They say where every team is going to finish and who will win the championship.  It makes you wonder why we should even play the season.  However every year these media preseason predictions are always wrong and the teams don't finish where they predicted. Therefore I think we in the NFL will just go ahead and play the season anyway."

So Paul Brown made it clear he didn't think much of preseason media predictions.  Felt they were not football and just a waste of time.
