Before the season prediction contest update.

[Poppa San]

I've been up for a while on a sugar high from eating too many desserts yesterday. Time to do the research to update this. The thread is still locked.
Tie breaker #1: Packers are still in contention for a first round bye which would eliminate any wild card round loser predictions.

I may be eliminated this year, but I'll be back next year

I hope my prediction is wrong so we go 13-3 or 12-4

Why is Poppa San's 13-3 under "doesn't look too good"?

Vikings are probably the toughest team we have to face and I expect us to win out. 13-3 is as likely as 12-4 and both should be under "still in good shape" imo.

Here’s to every one of us hoping that Poppa San comes out victorious.

 

[HardRightEdge]

My prediction was in the range of 7 - 11 wins.

Heck yeah! I’d even be willing to start my concession speech before supper on election night (SB night) when Poppa wins. Shortly afterwards and out of humility, I’ll take a crash landing position and kiss my a?& goodbye.

Yeah me too.

Why is Poppa San's 13-3 under "doesn't look too good"?

I went one game either way as the cutoff before I started the project. I added a spot for 9 wins after I saw how many there were. That said, I think 13 wins are a better probability than 10 wins.

I don't consider my guess of 10-6 to be a realistic scenario as I fully expect the Packers to win more games.

Oh dang....I predicted 11th in both....why cannot that be the first tie breaker LOL

But you expect more than 10 wins before the season started? I for one am pleasantly surprised we are 9-3 at this point of the season. Often when a team hires a new first time HC that team goes thru growing pains the first year. Of course, not many rookie HC's have a future HOF QB to work with...

 

[PackAttack12]

The Packers are currently 11th in points per game, and 14th in points allowed. I predicted 7th and 14th respectively. Part of what I took into the equation was the Packers being able to score more points down the stretch. Hopefully that trends upwards as we go along.

The Packers are right where I thought they would be defensively. Hopefully that number trends better as well.

Well, I predicted the Packers to finish the season with a 10-6 record, so obviously I didn't expect them to win more games than that.

That wasn't the point of most though as I don't agree with Poppa considering my prediction to be still in good shape.

Dang. This looks more likely than the alternative.
