Think of all the variables that go into any particular game--- 106 possible players between the two teams, maybe 65 plays per game with 22 different people running around trying to make something happen, a team of referees who may or may not see, and correctly judge, any infractions. How about even down to playing the game with a ball that isn't round and has a tendency to bounce oddly. Figure in weather, injuries, crowd noise, the impact of coaching staffs down to the merest ball boys and a host of other inconceivable variables and what do you have when "experts" start making long-range predictions?

You get a wonderful show of people pulling guess out of their butts. Generally you can be assured that the Pats and Packers will be good and the Lions and Browns will be bad, but even that's never guaranteed.

These guys might, might be able to predict the coming week's games, but beyond that, their record is no better than the local weatherman's long range forecasting. Maybe much worse.
