Now that I have thoroughly analyzed the hypothetical college football season, I have decided to engage in a similar analysis for the National Football League. Last season, I published my first set of NFL predictions on my blog, and given the popularity those articles garnered, I thought it would be worth doing them again.. Much like my college preview, I have gone through and analyzed every NFL team’s regular season and postseason, as well as selected my disappointment and surprise teams and upsets to watch out for.
My final football preview entry for this year will be my NFL regular season upset picks are listed below in chronological order. The five upset picks that will be the most impactful to the NFL playoff picture are marked in bold. Also, the (H) and (A) written on each line represents whether or not the the team pulling off the upset is playing the game at home or on the road. Feel free to comment or debate on this post as well as any others included in this preview guide.
