I was able to wrangle 12 current and former staff writers at Hogs Haven and harvest their vast football knowledge for predictions of the future. In the eleventh annual edition of this series, the site's writers and analysts were asked to guess team and individual award winners for this season.
Enjoy the predictions below, and please add your own in the comments below, as we prepare to embark, once again, into the most wonderful time of the year.
