Ah, what's the use. Yeah, I picked the Titans to win the Super Bowl. You got a problem with that? Wasn't the first time I've been wrong and certainly won't be the last. Oh, and by the way, if you're looking for a great investment, check out newspapers.
Some other predictions that I got wrong in September and even a few that I got right:
What Was I Thinking?
* Coaches of the Year: AFC - Jeff Fisher, Titans; NFC - Jim Mora, Seahawks. The Titans are 2-6 and Fisher's defense already has been torched for 21 touchdown passes, which is nine more than it gave up all of last season. Mora's injury-riddled Seahawks are 3-5.
* Team on the rise: Seahawks. Hey, at least I didn't pick them to win the Super Bowl.
* Team on the decline: Steelers. So much for them having a Super Bowl hangover. Monday night's 28-10 win over the Broncos improved their record to 6-2.
* NFC Defensive Player of the Year: Giants DE Osi Umenyiora. Umenyiora has just five sacks in nine games. Not bad, but not award-worthy.
* Where To Send Their Mail in 2010: Broncos coach Josh McDaniels - Canton (Ohio) McKinley High School. He appears to be a little more capable than I gave him credit for.
* Breakout Year: Jets WR David Clowney and Cowboys LB Anthony Spencer. Clowney looked great in the preseason, but is fifth on the team in receptions with 11. Spencer, the former first-round pick who replaced Greg Ellis, still is looking for his first sack.
Bull's-eyes
* First-round Hits: Vikings WR Percy Harvin, Texans LB Brian Cushing. Harvin already has five touchdowns, three receiving and two on kickoff returns. Cushing leads the Texans defense in tackles and has forced three fumbles.
