With the 2012 NFL Season upon us I decided to take a look at the teams and make some pre-season predictions.  The records you see below were actually compiled by me going through the week-by-week schedule and issuing a team a win or a loss.

Then I assigned the playoff teams by seed, any tiebreakers were done using the NFL tiebreaker rules.  I then picked the winners for the Wild Card games, Division games, Conference Championship games and finally Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday February 3, 2013.

Before we get into the teams I have a few awards to predict.
