The regular season is finally upon us, which means it’s time for PFT’s preseason predictions. Guaranteed to look dumb in 17 weeks.
Last year, none of us picked the Broncos to win the Super Bowl, and only one of us picked the Broncos to get to the Super Bowl. Not only did none of us have the Panthers winning the NFC, none of us even had the Panthers making the playoffs.
This year we have to be better, right? Tell us in the comments what you think.
