No, the New England Patriots aren't going 16-0.

Close, but not quite.

Yes, the New York Jets are going 0-16.

The Tank is on.

Those are two of the things that stand out from my annual exercise of playing out the upcoming NFL season, where I pick every game with a score for each game.

The Patriots will win it all again, but they will have two stumbles this season to prevent a perfect season. After what happened in 2007, that might not be a bad thing.

The Jets will be the first team to go winless since the Detroit Lions in 2008. The Jets will land their franchise quarterback with the first overall pick next spring in the NFL Draft, but it's going to be a long wait to get there.

When I played out the season, there were four new playoffs teams, two in each conference. One of the surprise teams to miss: the Dallas Cowboys. I just don't think the defense is good enough.

So dive in, look around, get angry, but hold onto this until the end of the season. It's bound to make me look bad. Then again, the NFL does that to all of us who try and predict the madness that is this league.

That's what makes it so fun to watch. We think we know, but, of course, we rarely do.

Record predictions for each team can be found at the end, so jump ahead if you want to just see my picks for final records and the playoffs.
