Looks like all three of my unlikely predictions came true, now that the Raiders have won their 5th game. Suck it, Feldstein! To review:
What I said before the season:
"The Denver Broncos will win at least six games. People are predicting that the bottom three teams in the AFC West are all going to be abysmal, to the tune of 4-12 or 3-13, but the fact is the schedule won't permit that. One of them is going to win 6 or more games, and I think it'll be the Broncos."
Current result: the Broncos have already won 8 games, with 2 games to go.
What I said before the season:
"The Oakland Raiders will win at least five games. This isn't schedule-related; rather, I think that they've gained enough experience to surprise a few teams, plus win three or so AFC West games. They're not the god-awful Raiders of years past, just the god-mediocre Raiders."
Current result: the Raiders have already won 5 games, with 2 games to go.
What I said before the season:
"I can't believe that people are assuming that simply because Tom Brady is back, the Patriots are going to be a 14-2 team. This team's problems go way deeper than Brady being injured; the defense is far more questionable than before, for all the offensive tools they might have. I predict they go 11-5, max."
Current result: the Patriots have already lost 5 games, with 2 games to go.
Nyah nyah nyah etc.
