Accountability, Shame and Wealth: A Review of My 2010 NFL Predictions

You can say I botched my 2010 NFL prognostications. But you can’t say I ran and hid from my errors.

There’s hope for me surviving this thing, as I have Big Ten Buffoonery dough coming in, tonight’s Megamillions jackpot is up to $330 million and I actually sneaked by with a profit because of Dez Bryant. I picked seven of 12 playoff teams in each conference but who am I kidding, this was a costly season in reputation if not rubles.

A review of the picks I made way back on September 8 …AFC EAST: Jets (Patriots)

AFC NORTH: Bengals (Steelers)

AFC SOUTH: Colts (Colts)

AFC WEST: Chargers (Chiefs)

AFC WILD CARDS: Ravens, Patriots (Ravens, Jets)

NFC EAST: Cowboys (Eagles)

NFC NORTH: Packers (Bears)

NFC SOUTH: Falcons (Falcons)

NFC WEST: Cardinals (Seahawks)

NFC WILD CARDS: Saints, 49ers (Saints, Packers)

SUPER BOWL: Colts over Cowboys

Just how bad did I miss on the Cowboys? …

Again, thank you Dez. The next $55,000 dinner is on me.
