There isn’t a sport more unpredictable than football. No matter how much time and effort we put into analyzing the every detail of a team’s offseason, the truth is that we have no idea what’s going to happen once that ball gets kicked off.
Sure, we’ve got a pretty good hunch that the New England Patriots are going to be dominant, but that’s more of the exception and not the rule.

Nearly everybody had the Ravens as an easy playoff contender, if not a Super Bowl contender, and all of Cincinnati was ready to kick Dalton to the curb six months ago. There were even reports that the Bengals was interested in testing out A.J. McCarron at quarterback. A.J. McCarron!
And every week, there are about five or six individual games, plays or performances that leave us asking, “What was that?”
