Official Prediction Thread

[RashanGary]

Hey. . . There is a lot of pride that goes into having a solid read on situations around here. Whenever someone feels like making a prediction, we can come here, lay it out. Let's try to not really post in here other than predictions so it stays relatively clean. Then we can keep record. . . .

Once somebody makes a call, nobody else can take the same stance. So only people who get in early are going to have a chance, but if you get in just to get in, you're going to have a bad record. . . . So basically, as soon as you have a strong feeling one way or another, get in and you'll get your point. . . .


Since I'm starting the thread, I'll get the first prediction in. Obviously this thread is going to take years to really have any merit, but had we had it years ago, it would be something really cool to look at now.




EDIT: If people don't mind, I'm going to put a little twist on it. Seeing Lurkers prediction, it's very difficult because it depends on health and finding a trading partner. I'm going to give him a 30% handicap. If he gets it, his score goes to 1.3. If he misses, he only drops to -0.7. I'll try to keep up on each prediction and give a handicap after each prediction. If people disagree with the handicap we'll talk it out until something is agreed on.

[RashanGary]

I predict Bryan Bulaga is going to be a really good LT in the league barring injury. The reason I think that is MM moving him to LG is a sign of how well he's played at LT. They can't keep him off the field.

[Lurker64]

Thompson trades Colledge towards the end of the preseason, Bulaga starts at LG with Spitz as the primary backup.

[mission]

Burnett has at least 5 INTs with two coming in one game.

[RashanGary]

See my original post for explanation, but. . . .

Lurker gets a 30% handicap because it was a tough prediction
Mission gets 30% handicap because it is a tough prediction


I just want to make sure people who come in with softballs don't get 1 point for every softball and people who are playing for real, get what they deserve.

[Brandon494]

Damn beat me to Burnett. :x haha

Finley will have 10+ TDs this season and make his first pro bowl

[RashanGary]

Damn beat me to Burnett. :x haha

Finley will have 10+ TDs this season and make his first pro bowl

I'd call this a -30% handicap because Finley has already done amazing things in the league Injury for 2 or more games will be a bailout for you. Nobody should get knocked in this game for a season ending injury.

[Brandon494]

Morgan Burnett will be a starter in Green Bay for years to come and will have a similar career to Nick Collins.

Damn, that's a tough one too. I know you've watched him but Collins has had a great career so far. Odds of having a multi-probowl safety from the 3rd round. . . I think that's slim.

I'd give this a 30% handicap.

Nevermind I'll keep my prediction on Burnett :D

Also have to keep in mind Nick Collins didn't really break out til a few years ago. His first years he showed flashes but struggled at times. I think we'll see the same from Burnett.

[Scott Campbell]

Jordy Nelson finishes the year as the #2 WR.

[falco]

Favre throws another pick to end his season, but it's only in game 3... :lol:

[mission]

AJ Hawk goes to another (I know, I know) Pro Bowl.

I don't really even really like the guy but I think it will happen.

[Scott Campbell]

Cullen Jenkins teases me all pre season only to shoot blanks once the games count. Again.

[Scott Campbell]

Thompson trades Colledge towards the end of the preseason, Bulaga starts at LG with Spitz as the primary backup.


Ted tries to trade Colledge but can't get anything for him.

[Scott Campbell]

Our punter finishes in the top half this year.

[Scott Campbell]

Mason Crosby rebounds nicely from last year.

[RashanGary]

Cullen Jenkins teases me all pre season only to shoot blanks once the games count. Again.

-30%. Solid history of this happening and you have injury on your side.

[Scott Campbell]

Will Blackmon gets hurt in the 3rd game. (preseason)

[RashanGary]

Thompson trades Colledge towards the end of the preseason, Bulaga starts at LG with Spitz as the primary backup.


Ted tries to trade Colledge but can't get anything for him.

I can't think of a handicap for this, so this will be even up.

[Brandon494]

Sam Shields makes the team and returns a KR for a TD for the first time since 2000! :D

[RashanGary]

Our punter finishes in the top half this year.

We'll make this for net average because gross doesn't matter and I'll give you a +30% on that. Neither of these guys has punted in an NFL game.

[Scott Campbell]

Al Harris makes it back but isn't the same player anymore and loses the job to Brandon Underwood.


(I think it'll really go to Tramon, but threw Underwood in for shock value)

[RashanGary]

Jordy Nelson finishes the year as the #2 WR.

+20%. Has to get injury luck and beat out Jones.

[Scott Campbell]

The Packer even the score with the Vikings for last years debacle. Twice.

[RashanGary]

Favre throws another pick to end his season, but it's only in game 3... :lol:

+1000%

[Scott Campbell]

Ted finds a scrapheap DL before the season starts.

[RashanGary]

AJ Hawk goes to another (I know, I know) Pro Bowl.

I don't really even really like the guy but I think it will happen.

Already happened once in the past. He's in better shape. -20%

[Scott Campbell]

Justin Harrell gets cut.

[mission]

Quarless has less than 10 catches.

Shields is top 3 on team in special teams tackles.

[RashanGary]

Will Blackmon gets hurt in the 3rd game. (preseason)


Damn it, these are just random. . . Let's try to stick to things that aren't pure luck :)

[Scott Campbell]

Mathews gets double teamed all year and doesn't make it back to 10 sacks.

[mission]

AJ Hawk goes to another (I know, I know) Pro Bowl.

I don't really even really like the guy but I think it will happen.

Already happened once in the past. He's in better shape. -20%

Then can I change it to 'he'll have his best statistical season' for a little better juice?

[RashanGary]

Alright, I jsut quit. . . Why don't we come here when people have a major disagreement and draw the line. Then we can keep score on important things :)

This sucks ass.

[RashanGary]

Or everyone can start their own personal one and then point back to it. This is a lot of freaking work and I'm lazy as hell.

[mission]

I was having fun. :(

It will slow down. Don't give odds to anything that's not quantifiable or if it's just retarded.

You don't have to respond like a rapid-fire-maniac, take your time. :D

Sorry - I'll stop. I was just trying to encourage participation. :lol:

[Scott Campbell]

Tim Tebow's hair will grow back.

[Scott Campbell]

Brad's won't.

Now I'm done. Really.

[Joemailman]

Now I'm done. Really.

Scott channeling his inner Favre.

[Joemailman]

Justin Harrell will play in more games than Cullen Jenkins.

[swede]

Packers win five games against the NFC North and win the division.

[Scott Campbell]

Now I'm done. Really.

Scott channeling his inner Favre.


Check your text messages.

[PlantPage55]

The Packers will go 12-4 and bring the Lombardi Trophy back home.

Do your worst, JustinHarrell.

[Tarlam!]

This is a great thread, Nick. Don't throw in the towel! If we'd have had this thread years ago, everybody would now know I was the first one to predict Chillar being moved outside!

[Tarlam!]

I predict the Aussie Punter gets cut, even though he'd be a better strategic pooch punter, he doesn't seem have much upside - though, he could tackle any Punt Returner and lay the wood like Bigby.

[Tarlam!]

I predict the Detroit Lions win earn a Wild Card spot, making 3 NFC North teams in the playoffs.

I predict Lovie Smith to be terminated as HC of the Bears, no longer than a week after the final regular season game.

[retailguy]

2010 will be the second 16-0 season in NFL history. 1st round playoff bye, followed by a trip to Dallas.

[mngolf19]

The Packer even the score with the Vikings for last years debacle. Twice.

If Favre plays in both games, Scott will be wrong.

[mngolf19]

Rodgers will miss at least 1 game this season due to injury.

[ThunderDan]

Rodgers will miss at least 1 game this season due to injury.

BF will finish the season on the IR if he plays for the Viqueens this year.

Your prediction pisses me off. I wouldn't dare go to a Viking site and wish injury on their superstar.

[mraynrand]

2010 will be the second 16-0 season in NFL history. 1st round playoff bye, followed by a trip to Dallas.

Dallas would have to come to GB for the Divisional round.

[LEWCWA]

What???

The Packers and Dallas both can't go 16-0. They play each other up in Lambeau on a Sunday night in November. So, if we have a playoff bye followed by a trip to Dallas the only way that is possible is if Dallas has a better record.

I am guessing that RG meant a trip to the SB in Dallas not 2 weeks after the playoff bye.

Of course he did. I was just messing with him. :roll:

Who's wishing, it's a prediction based on past results with QBs across the league and how last season went for AR as far as getting hit. Few QBs last an entire season. I'm not wishing anything.

Favre though is an anomaly. He has always made it through the season which contradicts all data concerning QB's. At some point though you would have to think it catches up with him. I just wouldn't want to bet against him any particular season.

I thought everyone knew big D was going to run the table....

[Tony Oday]

Favre retires...for real this time because his ankle will not pass the physical.

AR throws for over 4,000 yards and 35 TDs
Grant gets 1200 yards and 10 TDs
JF gets 79 catches and 11 TDs
Crosby misses an FG to lose a game in the regular season only to make one when it Counts in the NFC championship game
Harrel is a BEAST this year
Hawk records 4 INTs 80 tackles and 6 sacks.

You might be stretching things a bit.

14 QBs played all 16 regular season games last year. At least some of the remaining 18 teams changed QBs for reasons other than injury.

[falco]

Cool down Dan. I didn't see anywhere in his prediction that he 'wishing' injury on anybody.

[Scott Campbell]

Josh Bell to IR with a season ending injury.

[falco]

I predict SC will post:


Josh Bell to IR with a season ending injury.

[mraynrand]

Cullen Jenkins will have more sacks and tackles than Kris Jenkins and will be more beloved than Fergie Jenkins.
