thanks, kyle. not that a put much stock into their prediction in the first place…but they did predict the NFL Champ, the NBA Champ, the BCS Champ and one other last year. just thought it was interesting.

jeff ircink: that’s funny, cause back in early June, whatifsports.com did the same analysis and picked the Vikings to beat the Chargers – with an asterisk that those results only count IF Favre plays: http://min.scout.com/2/974472.html i take it then this is the result if Favre doesn’t play this season???

Quote from linked article: "All of our predictions and projections you've enjoyed (some more than others) over the last two weeks are part of a fluid process. We've learned a lot about our NFL simulation engine and the data it is generating. It's our goal throughout training camp and on in to the pre-season to make the necessary calibrations that reflect the best "what-if" scenario for the 2010 NFL season." So, ultimately, neither one might be valid (as valid as a 10,001 repetition computer simulation can be, I guess) in 2 months time.

Well since this is just a prediction it really doesnt mean anything but lets all hope it does. i just hope the players dont get all this champion stuff in their head because championships arent won on paper. they cant think they are the champs just yet and be careless during the season. if they take on game at a time and keep their focus, im sure they will be the champs! GO PACKERS!
