2010 NFL Predictions
o Division champions are in bold italics; wild card teams are in bold; non-playoff teams with winning records are in italics.
o Teams with identical records are placed in order based on NFL tie-breaking procedures.
o Playoff teams are seeded based on NFL seeding and tie-breaking procedures. Each team is numbered in order of where I think they will finish in conference playoff standings. Playoff positions are to the right of each team in regular font within these little things: {#}.
o Team records are listed in regular font: #-#.
o I also rank each team from 1 to 32 and team rankings are listed to the right of each team in bold parentheses: (#); rankings are based on how I think each team compares with the rest of the league, without taking into consideration conference, division, or schedule; rankings do not indicate where I think they will finish in the standings.
o I also rank each division in the league from 1-8 in three different ways: Power Rank is based on the strength of the top two teams in the division; Depth Rank is based on the strength of the bottom two teams in the division; Overall Rank is based on the strength of all four teams in the division. Division rankings are in parenthesis to right of each division, along with number of teams with winning record; number of teams with 11 or more wins; and number of teams with 11 or more losses.
