Staff Predictions For The 2013 NFL Season
The 2013 NFL season is finally upon us, so now it’s time for the Fix staff to creep out onto the ledge — well, some of us anyway — and set our predictions for the season in stone.
Let’s start with the AFC:
| Staffer | AFC East Champ | AFC South Champ | AFC North Champ | AFC West Champ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alan Harrison | Patriots | Texans | Ravens | Broncos |
| Josh Kay | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| Gerard Martin | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| JJ Kay | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| Chris Garosi | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| Andrew Miller | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| Brett Talley | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
| John Hoey | Patriots | Texans | Bengals | Broncos |
I honestly didn’t expect for there to be this much agreement among the staff considering we’re all from different regions of the country. And aside from Ravens pick to win the AFC North, there appears to be a clear consensus in each division.
Now for the NFC:
| Staffer | NFC East Champ | NFC South Champ | NFC North Champ | NFC West Champ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alan Harrison | Giants | Falcons | Packers | 49ers |
| Josh Kay | Cowboys | Buccaneers | Packers | Seahawks |
| Gerard Martin | Eagles | Saints | Packers | Seahawks |
| JJ Kay | Cowboys | Falcons | Packers | 49ers |
| Chris Garosi | Redskins | Saints | Bears | 49ers |
| Andrew Miller | Cowboys | Falcons | Packers | Seahawks |
| Brett Talley | Giants | Saints | Packers | 49ers |
| John Hoey | Giants | Saints | Packers | 49ers |
Unlike the Staff’s AFC predictions, the NFC predictions — aside from the Packers — couldn’t be farther from a consensus.

And the Championship Games:
