Glass much more than half full: Who do the 49ers have to beat?
If I had to classify myself, I'd say I'm somewhere between a realist and an optimist. For example, using this year as an example I think 8-9 wins is a possibility for the 49ers. What would that kind of prediction make me? My guess is just above realist but not quite a crazy-eyed optimist. We've...
49ers 2008 Schedule: Favorite, Underdog, or Even
After looking at the 49ers 2007 schedule against the spread, I thought I'd look at the 49ers 2008 schedule and try and predict which games they'd be favorites and which games they'd be underdogs.

Previewing the Schedule: Recap
Over the last few weeks I have gone through the Lions' entire 2008 schedule and previewed it month by month. The results, to put it nicely, weren't all that great for the Lions. I highly doubt my predictions will come true as I don't think even Detroit could be quite this inconsistent, but man,...
Breaking News: The Schedule Is Still Bland, But With Byes!
The Big Ten, in what was surely a painful decision, allowed member football teams to play games after Thanksgiving in spite of the concern that it could take away from the only game they really care about: The OSU-Michigan season finale. The first round of schedules that take this into effect were...
