Packers 2013 Prediction

I've always laughed when the "experts" predict team's final records, playoffs, etc.  Well, I decided to put my 2013 Green Bay Packer prediction on paper:

Final 2013 Record:  10-6, in the playoffs via Wild Card, tie-breaker goes to DET

NFC North Prediction
Lions:  10-6
Packers:  10-6
Bears:  8-8
Queens:  5-11

I think San Francisco is just too good on offense, and unless our defense can learn how to stop the option, that's a loss.  Washington could still be without RGIII, Cincinnati just hasn't clicked in years, and Detroit never wins at Lambeau.  Even though Baltimore sold the farm, they are still tough to beat at home.  Then comes the win streak -- Cleveland is still a mistake by the lake, Minnesota still wears purple, Chicago is very beatable at Lambeau, and Philadelphia will probably be using their 2nd string QB by that point.  The Packers have not played well in New York in recent years (or against them at all!).  Then is the purple people again--Cassell/Ponder anyone???  Rodgers has gotten "headaches" in recent years in Detroit.  I think Atlanta will be one of the top teams in the NFC, but the Packers will beat them at Lambeau.  I think Dallas is going to have a momentous year, and they lose to the Boys in Big D.  I think we round out the year beating the Steelers in a Super Bowl rematch, and lose to the Bears in Chicago, with Cutler on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

I'm sure I'll be wrong on most fronts, which is fine.  But now I can call myself a local "expert"--maybe.
