Let's look at them one at a time.
Denver has the best roster in the league. Almost everyone has pegged them to win the AFC West and most think they will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl and possibly win it. This is not a BOLD prediction. You are playing the same odds that everyone else is - that the best team will win.
Seattle not repeating is also not a BOLD prediction. No one has repeated in a decade with several defending champions missing the playoffs altogether.You say, on one hand, that what Buffalo did in the 90s is impossible and, on the other hand, you say that someone not repeating shows manipulation. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
Arizona won't win the NFC? Really? To say that a team that has been to ONE Super Bowl in their history and who missed the Playoffs last season (Hell, was 2008 the last time they made the Playoffs?) won't make it is not a BOLD prediction. I actually hope they make it just to watch you change your story.
Bottom line, you have NOT made ANY BOLD predictions about the league.
Additionally, you said Johnny Football would come off the bench in Week 1 and salvage a win for Cleveland over Pittsburgh. Didn't happen. You said Bell and Blount would be suspended for that game and that would be the "excuse" for the Steelers losing. I told you that they would not be suspended until next year, in all likelihood. They weren't. You were flat wrong.
You pointed to an old article about the unavailability of the "All 22" camera angle as "proof" that the NFL is "hiding what happens off the screen" from us. I pointed out that that angle has been available on NFL.com for several years now. You hid from that and pretended you didn't read that you were called out as a complete moron on that one.
You also made the "bold" prediction that Manning would get the TD record in prime time. Oh, really? Do you realize that TV execs take that kind of stuff into consideration when they pick their games for prime time? That's why Denver had back-to-back prime time games. NBC was "betting" that he would do it last week, NFLN/CBS were "betting" he'd do it this week. It's not that tough to project what few weeks that a player may reach a milestone in and, if you're wrong you still get Denver vs San Francisco or Denver vs San Diego - two nice matchups for prime time.
