2015 NFL Predictions: Cool Thoughts, Expert Bros

After some three months off from this blog, I guess we've arrived at the time of year where I'll have to crank out a bunch of predictions over the next two months. As usual, I'm sitting here saying that I should just stop this beginning-of-the-season nonsense where I only get a handful of picks right.

But of course, last year with my football predictions I was right about my Super Bowl winner. I nailed three of the four Championship game participants. And hey, six out of eight division winners ain't bad either.

So seeing as last year I was committed to picking against the Denver team that so many people were going with, I'm feeling something similar this year after every one of the roughly 50 predictions I first saw all have a Packers-Colts Super Bowl. When something is this widely picked, it's almost certainly going to be wrong.

All of that said, I still have no idea who I actually will be picking as I type this. I can say that I already hate it because I know there's going to be at least a few out-of-nowhere surprise teams this year that I'm probably going to be too chickenshit to pick.
