When it comes to making predictions, we tend to hesitate.
Not that it really matters. We’re just throwing darts into the dark.
But that’s what we do. When we’re right, nobody cares. When we’re wrong, we’re idiots.
On the other hand, we’re idiots anyway.
Here are our predictions for the 2024 season. You will think it is idiotic if your favorite team does not appear in our projected playoff standings.
