This year's take it to the bank predictions will be brief because I'm a bitter prognosticator. Bitter after losing the Super Bowl last year to that undeserving coach Jerry Banko and his squad of eager Beavers. It was the Grimps' year and how dare he ruin it? The good news for the rest of the league is that there will be no repeat after both teams went into post-season fire sale mode. Our upcoming suckitude is our gift to you. This is a hard year for predictions as I can't recall a time when there was as much parity in the league as there is today. It's anybody's guess who among the mediocre will under or over achieve and take the trophy back from Jerry. That said, the tea leaves and smoke signals tell me the results (listed without further commentary) will be thus:
NFC Landry Penn State 13-4 Bensalem 11-6 Warrington 9-8 Kutztown 8-9
Always love these Steve. Thanks for doing it annually. I think you are right that there are two top teams in each conference and after that literally any team could make the play-offs and a run for a title. As I've stated many times.... just get to the playoffs and anything can happen.
RGG, I feel your pain. And I agree with Mark--I love to see your prognostications about the upcoming season! I'm glad there is parity in the league and I'm not looking forward to rebuilding (which I'm sure is going to start next year!)

A quick look through my predictions and I seem to be more or less on track for every team except Inverness. Wow, they are underachieving. Just read an article about them in the Inverness Times where they are calling for owner Steve Swanson to fire the coach.
