Over the next four days, Nate and I will be making a series of predictions for the upcoming NFL season. This is not a preview. There is already lots of in-depth coverage available to fans on the upcoming year, and Nate and I are lazy, so we stuck to short and sweet predictions. It's easier to provide content and discuss actual specifics in the comments, so that is what we'll be aiming for (and looking at some of our predictions, I already have plenty to say).
Today we will set the table with some preliminary questions and answers. Tuesday we will have our division predictions. Wednesday we will predict award winners and league leaders. And on Thursday, we will make our predictions for the playoffs, including the Superbowl.
