With the 2007 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 12 playoff teams and picked the winners for the Wild Card games, Division games, Conference Championship and finally Super Bowl XLII in Arizona which will feature a rematch of a recent Super Bowl.
