It's that time once again for my official fearless predictions for the upcoming season. Or, if perhaps you remember my predictions from last season, "clueless" may be a better word for what follows than "fearless." Last year, I threw some longshot picks in the mix to make things interesting (Seattle?! What was I thinking). This year's picks are more straightforward (and as a result, probably equally off-base). Nevertheless, onward into the breach:
