2009 Prediction Review
Going into just about every season 10-6 is the record you figure a team needs to achieve to make the playoffs, but by the midway point of the season it was pretty clear to me that 9-7 might be good enough for at least one team. My predictions for the Ravens this year had them finishing 10-6, but realistically it should have bene 9-7 all along. I had the Ravens beating the Packers in Green Bay, but the Packers fixed their offensive line issues and have actually become one of the stronger teams in the NFC.
I had two other games wrong, but they canceled each other out and both games could have ended either way. I had the Ravens losing at the Chargers (they won) and winning at home against the Bengals (they lost). Here is a summary of my predictions for 2009:
