Now that I have analyzed every roster over the past month I am ready to make my 2012 predictions. In the past I have been pretty good at picking 8-to-10 playoff teams with always a few awful picks sprinkled in there. If I could get anything right it would be my Super Bowl winner. I might be going out on a limb here, but I am looking at quarterbacks to take the next step and I like the ice in this guys vains...
