2018 NFL predictions revisited

By Rob Woodfork

WASHINGTON — Remember back in September when I previewed the 2018 NFL season and made team-by-team predictions? Yeah, well it’s time for me to cop to what I got wrong, and strut a little over what I got right. It’s worth noting (read: bragging) that my Super Bowl pick remains a very real possibility.

This year, I’m doing something a tad differently. I’ll still highlight my best and worst calls from each division, but as a fun nod to a famous TV sitcom line, I’m adding a “See, What Had Happened Was…” entry to try to explain away my predictions that turned out to be loud wrong.

Colombia wins Group K after 0-0 draw with Portugal; both squads already into World Cup knockouts

We just lacked finishing. The players were outstanding against a top contender … not only did we play them on equal terms, we dictated the terms. I think playing against a rival like that, showing this kind of football to all these people, in this heat, was incredible.”
