It may be better for you 81forHOF if you tried being cautiously optomistic as opposed to making bold predictions. I have a Brother who talks a lot of smack too. Every year he boldly predicts what the team is going to do and when we fail to reach his objectives he's left every Monday morning dreading going to work because he has to face the music. I've tried to encourage him to chill and not "bragg" so much, betting, and loosing his money. I have learned through the years how to be an optomist without going overboard thereby keeping my emotions in check. Every year in the NFL is different. every Sunday is different, and naturally I think we are going to win every game we play though I know that's not being realistic. However I've found this to be a safe way of maintaining my sanity over the course of a sixteen game season.
