Last February, I wrote an article predicting the 2020 records of every NFL team. Now that the regular season is over it is time to see how right I really was, or if I was a complete idiot and didn’t know what I was talking about.
I calculated a scoring system to see how well or how bad I actually did;
Dead On – 5 Points
One Game Off – 4 points
Two Games Off – 3 Points
Three Games Off – 2 Points
Four Games Off – 1 Point
Idiot Meter Off – 0 points
Let’s see what I was able to muster this season. Enjoy the five pictures I used in this one as they expressed my emotions looking back at these. Stick around to the end to see the official results of how I actually did on my predictions!

Now for the final results. I took this score out of 160 with that being if every team got a perfect five score. Let’s see the calculations;
The score in total that I got was – 77.
Now by dividing that by 160, I get a total percentage of…
48%
Now that doesn’t look good, but rarely do people get even close to a good percentage in these things. Plus I predicted these all the way back in February so I I’d say I am pretty proud of myself here.
