My Ongoing Sports Prediction Thread

 

… And that’s a fact!

 

I tend to make bold statements. I really get a kick out of getting people all worked up when I spew opinions as if they are stone cold fact. When I think something is a certain way, and I’m stern about it, that really means I think I am right and would be shocked if I were wrong.

To see how full of shit I am, let us see how well I do at making some sports projections. Determine if I know even half of what I claim to. This should be fun 😁

This list will be an ever-growing thread of things I am going to predict on the fly. I’ll keep track of each’s current status (didn’t happen, hasn’t happened, did happen) and update accordingly. Some of these predictions will be much bolder than others. I’ll also give a confidence indication to demonstrate how passionate I am about my prediction. I’ll try to make at least one bold prediction a day. Sounds about right anyway!

On to the predictions!

Note: These will be in reverse order of when the prediction was made, so the last one is the oldest one and the top one is the newest.

Note: Confidence values range from one to three with 1 being “a little confident”, 2 being “confident”, and 3 being “that’s a fact!” Keep in mind I don’t tend to make predictions for stuff I’m not confident in.
