re: Call it now, final record for this team

Are your predictions just a shot in the dark all the time or are they based upon what you think you know or understand about the particular subject? I think these answers to final record are more predictions based on things people believe they know or understand about this team (right or wrong) than just out right guesses.

I get what you're saying, but one person's prediction on the final record being right over someone else's who only missed the correct outcome by 1 game in no way shape or form means the correct person knew or knows more about the team than the other.

I probably know more about the Tennessee Titans than anyone else on this board. I'm a huge fan and have been following them since they arrived in TN. I understand Jeff Fisher's coaching method and I know how the players react to certain situations.

If you and I predicted the rest of the season's outcome and I missed it by one game and you got it correct, it doesn't mean you "know" more than me.

Getting the right prediction vs. the wrong prediction is one injury away, one fluke miracle play away, one horribly missed call by the refs away, etc, etc, etc... from being right or wrong on the prediction.

In sum, if LSU goes 9-3, not 10-2 or 11-1, it by no means you know more about LSU's team play than others who predicted wrong.
