CFZ Even the Pre-season “experts” almost never correctly predict SB Winner

[Bobhaze]

NFL Preseason predictions are usually very unreliable. The so called experts from all the major football media outlets are usually wrong in their pre-season predictions of who will win the SB. Why is that?

Because the NFL is THE most unpredictable of all the pro sports leagues. I put very little stock in almost all preseason predictions. Look at some of the predictions done by some of the big NFL media outlets and their writers the past two seasons, then realize this- no one knows.

PAST TWO SEASONS SB PREDICTIONS:
2021 Predictions

• Sports illustrated- picked GB to beat Buffalo in the SB. Neither made the SB.
• ESPN- predicted the Chiefs would beat the Bucs in a rematch. Didn’t happen.
• PFF- also predicted a rematch of chiefs and bucs but had the Bucs repeating.
• CBS Sports- predicted the Bills would beat the Bucs or the Pack.

2020 Predictions

• Sports Illustrated- picked the Ravens to beat the Saints in SB LV. (The Bucs beat the chiefs)
• ESPN- picked the chiefs to beat the Cowboys! (Sadly, we didn’t make the playoffs)
• PFF- picked the chiefs to beat the saints.
• CBS Sports- their writers did not have a consensus but picked either the ravens, colts, chiefs or Cowboys to beat either the pack, ravens, Seahawks, Cowboys, or chiefs.

Simple truth here: NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND THAT MAKES IT FUN!
Who will win SB LVII? No one has a clue.

What I See

If anyone picks us to be in the SB then we won't make it. I hope we suck during the pre season then

 

[jazzcat22]

Cowboys - Bengals SB
That is my prediction.

 

[Bobhaze]

Cowboys - Bengals SB
That is my prediction.

As long as that’s not what the big sports writers are predicting it could happen, lol.

Everyone is guessing. They may have good reason to believe what they're saying, but they know there are too many variables, and any one of those variables can change everything.

Because all of the people predicting just use playoff teams from the previous season. More than half of the Super Bowls featured at least one team that didn't make the playoffs the year before. Like Cinci last year.

Yeah probably safe to say no one but myself will make that prediction.

Remember back when Chris Berman, every year predicted a SF - Buffalo SB? No matter what, he kept predicting that.

I almost had my Cowboys - Bengals match up if not for that damn catch play.

Well the most historically safe pick is that the Cowboys won't be in the SB.
We have not even been to a NFCC in 26 years.

No, but we can easily predict who will be the bigger contenders . Which is much more predictable based on current history and trends .

Doesn’t mean won’t be some surprises but there won’t be many the last weekends in the playoffs. .

Click bait....they know about as much of the Zoners!

 

[Diehardblues]

Anyone who wasn’t picking the Rams weren’t paying attention last year.

 

[Diehardblues]

Bills would be the team I’d be paying attention to this year.

But Bills, Chiefs, Packers, Rams , Bucs should all be be playing into 3rd weekend in January. Pending any injuries to their QB.

Others could be Bengals, Titans and Pats. Until I see new SF QB can’t put them there yet.

If you’re looking for a surprise team to contend then Denver might be surprise of the year , maybe Chargers but what a brutal division. Reminds of NFC West last year. If you can win best division you might be battle tested to win it all.

 

[Diehardblues]

Well the most historically safe pick is that the Cowboys won't be in the SB.
We have not even been to a NFCC in 26 years.

I’m not sure we win division again. Could be struggle to make playoffs but I see us winning 9 or 10 which should be enough at least for 7th slot.

Egirls and Skins definitely upgraded their rosters while we downgraded.

 

[Haimerej]

I guess the blind optimism after hiring McCarthy wasn't relegated to just this forum. Surprised so many picked Dallas to make hay in 2020.

Your take is my take.
Great minds think alike!

That's because all they do is pick the teams who were good the previous season.

I think the Bucs will be falling off.

 

[DonaldM]

We got this. Booger is the best in the business. He gave it to LA last year because he had a big play there. This year is ours. Copy this.

Who is our Bubba's Smith? He only got one piece of chicken. Had to stop at KFC on his way home.

I don’t the exact percentages but I recall wondering how the hell Sports Illustraded’s, Peter King kept his job.

seems like the guy was always getting it wrong…….kind of like a meteorologist
