Espn's 2010 NFL predictions

by thealltimeloser on Sep 7, 2010 11:02 AM CDT

Hey, guys. I'm new to the site and new to SBN in general. You guys run a hell of a blog here. Did anyone see the ESPN crew's so-called expert predictions for the upcoming season? Seth Wickersham has the Texans going to the Super Bowl. Pretty cool, especially considering that the Texans dont normally get much love from the national media. Interestingly, of 16 pundits, only 2 chose a team other than the colts or ravens to come out of the AFC: Wickersham choosing the Texans and some other guy picking the Chargers.

Welcome, TATL

I think, if we actually want to start getting respect, we need to do the little things…like beat the damn Colts.

Until we win several “Biggest Games in Franchise History!!!!.” which we seem to play every week, then we deserve our fate of being ignored.

A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

Welcome, TATL. Hope you’ll stick around.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Aw crap

I meant ‘till Sunday’. That’s what I get, I suppose. Seriously. It needs to be Sunday. I’ll even take Thursday. We need to start another smack talking thread over here. All anyone is talking about at SB is how Gonzo is pissed about being replaced as a starter. It’s annoying. I just want endless Texans v Colts talk until next Tuesday or so.

Yeah, I saw the article

with the results of the last three seasons, I guess they’ve all been burnt by us as the “dark horse” pick to make the playoffs. So I don’t blame them for not picking us. It doesn’t make them right though.

Picked the Texans

for my week one survivor league team to beat the Colts. If you lose, I am out of that one for the rest of the year. I also have you picked to make it to the AFCCG this year on another index.

You must really hate the Colts.

Welcome in. Have a seat. Stay a while.

Q: If losses by fewer than 7 points are 3 times more likely than blowout losses to cause Tim to get blindingly drunk, do you take the over or the under on the number of Scott appearances as 3.5?

TexansDC: False. You can’t get drunk from Coors Light.

I Love The Texans

And even I wouldn’t pick them in a survival league to beat the Colts in Week One.

I think if you don't care about losing then your chances of winning sky rocket

Tons of people are going to pick the colts. So if Houston pulls it off half the league is gone.

Look out Arlington!

Here come the Texans!

Oh sweet mother of all that is good and pure.....

to even fantasize about going to the SB in the brokeback’s own house—is too much for me to visualize. It is on par with brokeback fan attempting to visualize their starting quarterback showing interest in his own team’s performance.
