The Washington Redskins put together a solid draft. Their picks help put together some hype-inducing practice clips. And all of a sudden, every other person is calling them a playoff sleeper.
The record predictions come next, and those taken by the wave of excitement proudly display their case for 12-4. Others, forever taken aback by the Redskins front office dysfunction and the endless losing cycle, retreat to the opposite pole as a reactionary move. Consequently, we have clashing predictions. 12-4, versus 4-12.
I’m here to tell you, it’s not that simple.
Record predictions are an unavoidable byproduct of the NFL offseason.
