A Patriots Vs Cowboys Super Bowl Is What It Looks Like We'll Have
9/2/08


Opening day is approaching, as is the deadline to vote in the FanIQ Prediction System.  Simply, you rate each team by different positions, and the scores get put to the schedule to come up with record predictions for the season.

We'd like to get you to vote. The more people we can get to vote, the more varied the numbers are, and the more accurate in theory the predictions will be. 

Obviously, the system is far from perfect, but since we really have no idea what will truly happen, it will be interesting to look back at to see how close it got.  This weekend, we'll post the results using the rankings of each FanIQ member, but let's see how my personal rankings predicted the year according to the system.

(Note: I tweaked it slightly, home field is 4 instead of 5 points, and only 2 points in the playoffs)

 
NFC North     NFC South  
Vikings 10-6   Bucs 11-5
Bears 9-7   Panthers 10-6
Packers 8-8   Saints 8-8
Lions 1-15   Falcons 4-12
NFC East     NFC West  
Cowboys 13-3   Seahawks 8-8
Giants 9-7   49ers 7-9
Redskins 8-8   Cardinals 6-10
Eagles 7-9   Rams 6-10
AFC North     AFC South  
Ravens 9-7   Colts 13-3
Steelers 8-8   Jaguars 13-3
Browns 6-10   Titans 10-6
Bengals 5-11   Texans 6-10
AFC East     AFC West  
Patriots 14-2   Chargers 14-2
Jets 8-8   Raiders 8-8
Bills 8-8   Broncos 6-10
Dolphins 1-15   Chiefs 2-14


Now obviously, there are some results that many, myself included, look at with confusion.  The Bears making the playoffs for one, I doubt they win more than 6.  Ravens are another in a similar situation.  As for the playoffs:

1 Cowboys        
    Cowboys      
3 Vikings Vikings      
6 Bears   Cowboys    
      Bucs    
4 Seahawks   Cowboys  
5 Panthers Seahawks    
    Bucs      
2 Bucs        
Playoffs         Patriots
1 Chargers        
    Chargers      
3 Colts Colts      
6 Titans     Patriots  
      Colts    
4 Ravens   Patriots    
5 Jaguars Jaguars      
    Patriots      
2 Patriots        
 

So my ratings predict a Cowboys/Patriots Super Bowl, with New England winning.  It'll be fun to see how close (or awful) this looks once the season ends, but the great thing about the NFL, is that crazy things happen.

These are what my rankings predict, and if you haven't voted yet, do it now so we can see what FanIQ's ratings predict for the 2008 season.
