Mixed bag. Did terrible on the player awards.0 -
On review, this isn't as bad as I expected - nearly got all the playoff teams right. Biggest misses were nearly everything 49ers related (injuries still haunting me) and idiotic belief in McCarthy with the Cowboys.
The most annoying thing is how close my Audacious Prediction of the Season came to hitting. Cardinals were a tiebreaker away despite losing their last 2 games.Had a look at my 2019 and I was surprised at how close I got with a good few (setting myself up for this to be a disaster)

Comeback Player of the Year: Trent Williams will get a lot of coverage during the 49ers prime time games. (Alex Smith will get it if he sees any field time and doesn't get carried off again) - Cheated by picking two but Right

Surprise Team (Good): Falcons current Vegas win total is the same as the Raiders and Broncos -Wrong
Surprise Team (Bad): Saints still win their division but not as good as previous years, Broncos billed as some as a playoff contender but will struggle -One Wrong and one Right
Breakout Player: Jimmy Garoppolo hard to give this title to a QB coming off a few minutes from having a ring but has spent the whole off-season being written off -Wrong
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Drew Lock feel he will end up being a good player but too much hype on his performances at the tail end of last season and new rookie support -Right
Worst Overall Record: Jags -Right
Audacious Prediction of the Season: Both the NFC and AFC will have divisions with 3 representatives in the playoffs (AFCN & NFCW/S) - Soooooo close and only a tie breaker away but Wrong
Your own team: 49ers
Regular Season Record: 11-5 - Nearly got it backward Wrong
Best Rookie: Brandon Aiyuk - Right, shaping up to be a star
Most looking forward to seeing: The Revenge Tour - can the rookie and FA replacements fill in or even a step up on the very small number of guys lost post Super Bowl -Injuries stole this, will never know how that team could have bounced back:(:(0 -

Breakout Player: TJ Hockensen Wrong
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Tom Brady Next year
Worst Overall Record: Jacksonville Jags Right
Audacious Prediction of the Season: Washington are the worst offense of this millennium On a couple of occasions during the season they were on the list for PFF, but ultimately they were just bad.
Your own team: Vikings
Regular Season Record: 10-6 Wrong
Best Rookie: Justin Jefferson Right
Most looking forward to seeing: The offense. JJ, Thielen, Cook, Cousins supported by an improved and unchanged OL make me very excited about the season. It is just hard to see the Vikings ahead of the big guns in the NFC but I see a good year ahead. Not a bad prediction. Ultimately the offense was good, but the OL regressed back to poor after a year of average. The defense was crapper than expected, which explained them having a losing season0 -
