I know the year is not over, but here is the official thread for re-visiting the bold predictions we posted back in September. Be prepared to feel foolish! Especially Fish...
All of these predictions have been copied and pasted directly from the thread, so no arguing!
Worst Predictions
Nick
Prediction: The SF 49ers represent the NFC in the Superbowl.
Not only will the 49ers not make the playoffs, but they proved to be one of the worst teams in the entire NFL. I still don't understand all the hype surrounding this team pre-season.
Dan
Prediction: Ronnie Brown will have his best statistical year ever, and will make the Pro Bowl as a starter.
If I substituted BEST for WORST, than I get this prediction spot on. Ronnie Brown has been having his worst year ever, and he is still doing better than Ricky. Horrible.
Fish
Prediction: [on Jets] 7-9 season. paper champions. afc's version of the redskins. heard it here first
I'm guilty of this bad prediction too, but sorry Fish you get the credit for posting it on the forum. Considering the Jets have already won 9 games, this looks like a silly prediction.
Fish
Prediction: benson is either #1 or 2 in rushing in the AFC.
I want to give a lot of credit to Nick, who immediately after this post, posted that Benson would not even be in the top 15 in the AFC. Now that is a bold prediction! When Nick posted that, Fish had this to say, "if benson is not in top 15 rushing that means he suffered a torn acl and then i will be scared of nick cuz he can tell the future." While he is in the top 15, he is 10th in the AFC in rushing. Pretty damn close Nick.
Best Predictions
Josh
Prediction: Fish will talk big about his fantasy team, but ultimately miss the playoffs.
What a prediction, little did Josh know he also would be shut out of the playoffs. Hey guys, how does it feel to not even have a game to play?
Dan
Prediction: T.O. will have within 7 catches of what Chad Johnson finishes the season with.
T.O. completely shattered this prediction, and is having a fantastic individual statistical year. Completely off the radar, I knew he would receive a lot of attention from Carson Palmer.
Josh
Prediction: Arian Foster will break Steve Slatons 1,282 rushing yards to become the Texans all time single season rushing leader.
Although 1282 yards is not a lot, the Texans looked to rely on the pass more as they lost backs. Arian Foster became the best RB in football statistically this year. Great prediction, easily the best I saw on the thread.
Fish
Prediction: The Chiefs will finish with a record of 9-7 or better.
I'm only giving you partial credit for several reasons. First, this is called bold predictions, not let's be safe and cautious predictions. 9-7 is not a bold prediction, but it does appear that the Chiefs are one of the better teams in the AFC, and have had a great turn-around. Just OK prediction.
Nick
Prediction: The Indianapolis Colts will not make the playoffs this year.
Yes, I understand that the season is not over, and the Colts still have a good chance of winning the division, but this is what bold predictions are supposed to look like. The Colts are having one of their worst years, and have just an equal chance of missing playoffs for the first time since Fish was getting hand jobs in high school.
The overall loser here was obviously Fish, who seemed to make all wrong predictions.

1. you completly left out the spillers vs best argument which was a huge deal through most of the preseason/1st month. if u gonna kill me on the benson thing u have to at least give me credit for saying i thought spiller would suck
2. i like how u forgot to mention ur brian hartline over mike wallace agrument under "worst predictions"
3. i like how u claim a "best" prediction for your TO being within 7 catches of Ocho. Currently he is 12 ahead, didnt realize u could change the stats to make it look like u were right. Now I know the season isn't over so you still might be right, but as of now your wrong so i wouldn't call this a "best' prediction.
4. predicting the cheifs will go 9-7 and then most likely going 9-7 isnt an OK prediction, it is a GREAT one. give me another person who predicted a non playoff team's turnaround and there exact record?

I didn't predict a record, but I'll let you know when the Seahawks win the division and make playoffs.

and how is nick saying benson wont be in the top 15 even close and a good call when he is 10th and still has 4 more games to play? ill admit i was dead wrong with him esp after picking him in both my leagues, but saying he wont be in the top 15 for AFC was ridicolus, that would mean he has backup RB numbers
Fish, don't be mad that the one prediction you had was soft and replaced your Saints missing the playoffs prediction, or else you would have been like 0 for 10.

The Seattle Seahawks will win the NFC North. Matt Hasselbeck will make the Pro Bowl roster.
Your right, if seattle does win the west it would be a great pick. but does the matt hasselback cancel out that prediction? maybe we should just stick to picking teams cuz we both suck at picking players haha
Wallace vs. Hartline was not a posted bold prediction, but is was a very false statement. Also, fish said that Wallace will have less than 1000 yards, he only needs to average 30 yards a game to break that
this is funny and all, but i thought the whole point of "bold prediction" would be picking something crazy that nobody else thought and probably wouldn't happen. i wasnt expecting to go 5-5. there is still 25% of the season left so maybe we should umm wait until the season is over before we claim some of these being right. if the colts go 4-0 and win the afc south i dont think claming they will miss the playoffs will look so great #justsayin

And Jahvid Best isn't good. If the Bills weren't losing all the time they could use him better.
Spiller is so much more talented than Best.

You know how I feel about Tessa. I'd take her over Danielle and Kerri at the same time.

Once the season is over, we can predict all the way up to the Super Bowl.

ok now u making a completly different argument, the argument which we had OVER AND OVER was who would be the bigger fantasy impact player and i think best 114 to spillers 32 kills that argument
best vs chicago or cj vs miami? well see, the more i thought about it the less high i am on spiller. hes always shared the ball in college with james davis, hes more of a felix jones big play type/kick returner than a every down rb which u need in fantasy.
- i dont see how i was wrong in any way. even if most of best points came in 1 game, his week 2 was better than spillers entire season!! this argument is more over than the dolphins playoff chances
we all gotta do the Fantasy playoff game. you get a certain number of points to spend on players each week and you can keep players that win for the amount you had spent the week before. They get more expensive as teams lose so you gotta have a good draft. me and mikey were in the finals last year it was alot of fun
Fish, does it hurt when you say the word playoffs?

haha good one. i would say yes but then i remembered that i just bought a delicious lunch with the fantasy winnings from last year that you just gave me the other night. i have some left over $ still, maybe if ur nice ill buy u a 6th place ribbon after nick beats u this week hahahaah
Fish, do you honestly think Nick is going to win or are you just bitter at my comments. Look at the match-up, and tell me why Nick is going to win.
Can't wait to here it.

i was just joking about everything so dont take it seriously cuz im not. i think nick has a better chance of winning it all cuz like i said in my story i dont think ur team can put up big games 3 times in a row which ur most likely gonna need to do. as for this week after looking at the matchup i would give nick the slight edge. i dont think freeman/blount is gonna tear the skins up like the eagles or giants did and nicks got turner vs CAR, rice vs Houston and jackson vs clevland. jennings vs detriot is going to be big tho, if he puts up less than 10 thats not a good sign. if u win it def wouldnt surprise me, but i highly doubt ur gonna put up 130 like u did last week
I know your joking, as am I. I've been trying to rile you up all day.
But...
Look at my match-ups Fish. They are too good to be true.
I understand that your still bitter than I jumped from 8th to 6th to steal away your dreams of repeating, but don't lie to yourself Fish.
Raw Doggin' 118 - LITTLE BEN 98

I'm gonna go ahead and say it, I am a man, I can admit things.
I made several mistakes this year, SEVERAL, but like a coach who has a lot of players lost to injury, I fought, and I fought ferociously.
1. I traded Turner for Wayne essentially straight up. I regret that.
2. I was offered Peyton Hillis for Hakeem Nicks. I sat on the trade for a little to long, Hillis had 35 points that game and Josh quickly terminated the trade off NFL.com

Fish, my team is built around the AIR game. I don't need big games from my RBs, thats the beauty of it. I need DECENT games from them, and BIG games from my BIG time receivers.

everyone makes mistakes. I drafted CJ spiller in the 4th round, beenie wells in the 6th, the bengals D, and i dropped dwayne bowe. if i took randy moss over brady in the second like i was thinking my season would have gone to ****
And you can't tell me that you don't think Blount is going to have DECENT game against the Redskins who gave up 4 TDs to Jacobs/Bradshaw last week, and are almost the worst run D in the league.
