Sports Illustrated projection

[jowczarski]

I'm a little surprised by this projection, to be honest, as well as Peter King's pick of the Ravens in the Super Bowl. Our season predictions come out Thursday and Paul Dehner, Jr. and I reveal our Bengals prediction during the #BBP tomorrow (when it posts) -- and I assure we are not "homers" -- but to say this team totally nosedives is ... interesting. I guess you have to pick a few playoff teams to do that so you can fit your "surprise" playoff teams in there, but honestly (barring major injury, of course, of course) I don't see this. But, I guess that's the beauty of predictions. We all have to do them, and you're either right or you're wrong. But I know I'll catch far more heat for being wrong than they will!
