2012 NFL Season Predictions-Overview

As I intend to do each year prior to the start of each new NFL season, I'll take my best educated guess as to what each teams overall record will be, and then, add in some playoff possibilities, awards and culminating with a predicted champion.

Well, after several attempts to get the alignment straightened out, I've run out of ideas.  Some of the post just didn't want to transfer aligned as it is on the page I wrote this up on.  I've noticed this type of thing happen before with blogger, and trying to fix it after the fact is often times futile.  Perhaps I'll simply type directly into blogger next time.
