[JesterBlaze]

[Hell Atlantic]

yeah, our secondary is in a shambles. i was swinging big for S Underhill but missed out on him. aaaargh.

[JesterBlaze]

In the spirit of me digging up a thread where Cringer commented on Matt bringing up the Suicide Pick'em thing again before the 2012 season, I figured another good one to bring back is the Owner Predictions Jeff started us on so long ago....

Here are the categories:

1. Predict your team's record
2. Predict the winner of your division
3. Predict the winner of your conference
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner
5. Predict a breakout player on your team
6. Predict your team MVP
7, 8, etc - Predict whatever you want

[Matt]

1. Predict your team's record - went through my schedule and I think we can pull out an 8-8 season.
2. Predict the winner of your division - Lawrence Phantoms
3. Predict the winner of your conference - Lawrence Phantoms
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner - Lawrence Phantoms
5. Predict a breakout player on your team - we don't really have any candidates for this award, but I'm thinking Jamie Williams will have his best year
6. Predict your team MVP - Dwight Burger
7. DH Singleton will not run for 2000yds this year.
8. Jay Caro will win the league MVP award this year.
9. Gary Jamison will win the ROY as he runs for 1300 yds and 12 TDs.
10. Nicky Doyle will win the defensive player of the year amassing 10 INTs
11.Bill Kidder will win the defensive ROY.

1. Barring injury's I feel pretty good about this years team. 10-6 is very possible, however, I just to play it safe I will go 9-7.

2. I think I have a good shot at it, however, SLC is a year ahead of me in the rebuilding phase. SLC

3. Little Rock's been a machine since the beginning of time. They are always a safe bet.

4. The impossible prediction but a safe guess would be Little Rock.

5. Kent Mulligan is due to have a big year with Donovan entering his 3rd season. However, I also feel pretty good about Carlson. I will say it's possible Mulligan could surpass 1000 yards, 7td's.

6. Nicky Doyle, without a doubt. Once again, barring injury, the guy is going to have a monster year.

7. Antoine Nece wins DROTY with 11 sacks

8. Gene Hamilton takes Lansing to the conference championship, but comes up short to LR.

9. HA will convince us once again what a great team he has, only to start out 1-4 and then bitch and moan that the game sucks and we are all conspiring against him behind his back.

10. Oakland will beat SLC both times this year, only to lose to them in the wild card game.

11. Texas will go "Tits Up" and plummet to 9-7

12. The Vodoo will rebound going 10-6

[JesterBlaze]

11. Texas will go "Tits Up" and plummet to 9-7

This plummet would still be the best defending Champ record in 4 seasons as recent Champs haven't fared well at all the following season with Hartford, Vermont, and myself going 8-8.

3. Predict the winner of your conference: TEX
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner: LRK
5. Predict a breakout player on your team: OLB Vinny Shinkle
6. Predict your team MVP: LDE Caro
7, 8, etc - Predict whatever you want: SLC's first back-to-back winning season in years!!!

[Jave]

5. Predict a breakout player on your team: WR Don Gomez

How is Gomez a "breakout" player? He is already the leading receiver on your team.

[tarcone]

3. Predict the winner of your conference: TEX
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner: LRK

This is the boldest prediction of them all.

[TimG]

I try and stay away from predictions on my teams. But, being as I'm the reining IFL champ, I'll go ahead and post.

1. Predict your team's record: 11-5 - The 1st IFL team to return to the play-offs after a bowl win. (Not researched) So correct me if I'm wrong. I'll correct my self. Norfork was kick-ass for 3 years in a row.

2. Predict the winner of your division: Tough one. I say it's a 4-way race with the better record taking the division.

3. Predict the winner of your conference: LRK. If I have to pick one. Very tough team.

4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner: LRK

5. Predict a breakout player on your team: TE Jack Bennett- 1st round draft pick. He is going to fill a big hole at that position. FB Tyrell Smith, 1st round last year, saw limited action last year so he could be that player also.

6. Predict your team MVP: Hands down I pick QB Chung. He is the man down in Texas. I expect another good year from him. His ratings actually went up and there's no reason to believe that he won't be solid.

7. I signed FA RG Lucius Ressler to solidify my oline and drafted a couple of olinemen.

[Cringer]

1. Predict your team's record - 9-7

2. Predict the winner of your division - Texas

3. Predict the winner of your conference - Lansing

4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner - Cleveland

5. Predict a breakout player on your team -

6. Predict your team MVP - QB Ralph Given

7. Tulsa breaks through and gets a Wild Card.

8. Murfreesboro is the first AC South team to repeat as division champs since the 2007-2008 Cardinals.

9. NC East has a division champ with a winning record.

LOL that's what you told me last year when you traded me your first round draft pick. Talking about, "ohh I'm not as good as I appear and this may be a rebuilding type year, bla bla bla!!" hahahahaha
I wanted another first anyway so it really didn't matter however let me point out you went 13-3 right?

[Suicane]

1. Predict your team's record

I'm gonna say 11-5, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything between 9-12, depending on the breaks.

2. Predict the winner of your division

I don't even wanna go there. It'll all come down to who beats who though. Whoever has the best record in the division probably wins it. I would assume a Houston drop off this year but who the heck knows.

3. Predict the winner of your conference

My usual answer is Norfolk but I wonder if his window hasn't closed at this point. I'm gonna say Boston, sans naming myself of course.

4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner

Crap, lol. Who the heck knows. I'll predict Boston vs Tulsa.

5. Predict a breakout player on your team

I pray to god SLB John Oliver has a breakout season. I'd like see him get some picks.

6. Predict your team MVP

Gotta be a defensive player, cause we need our team MVP to be a defensive player otherwise we're sunk. Kim Cortez.
