Cowboys 7-9 Eagles 6-10 Best call: “…the fact of the matter is (the Eagles) don’t have as good a QB situation as their investment in it suggests.” Worst call: “With (Dallas’) patchwork D and an offense led by a rookie (QB) at least half the season, count on a very slow start but a competitive finish for not-so-big D.” What happened: Cowboys 13-3 Giants 11-5 Redskins 8-7-1 Eagles 7-9 (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

Vikings 7-9 Lions 6-10 Best call: “Mike Zimmer’s Vikings are well coached so they’ll be competitive — but missing a good young QB on the verge of a breakout season is too much to overcome.” Worst call: “The arrow is pointed down in Motown…expect the Lions to assume their familiar position in the division basement.” What happened: Packers 10-6 Lions 9-7 Vikings 8-8 Bears 3-13 (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski)

Falcons 7-9 Saints 7-9 Bucs 5-11 Best call: “(The Saints offense) will probably still be a productive unit, but not good enough to overcome what is still an awful Saints defense.” Worst call: “Year 2 of the Dan Quinn Era in Atlanta figures to look a lot like Year 1: a good stretch will make you fall in love with them but they’ll ultimately disappoint.” What happened: Falcons 11-5 Bucs 9-7 Saints 7-9 Panthers 6-10 (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Colts 6-10
Titans 3-13 Best call: “These Colts look closer to the glue factory than the Super Bowl, and a .500 season would be a best case scenario.” Worst call: “I’m about to say three words that have perhaps never been spoken: I love Jacksonville.” (Woodfork’s note: This is my worst call of the decade, let alone the year.)

As is the tradition, Rob Woodfork looks back at his preseason NFL predictions to see which ones he nailed and which ones he missed by a mile.
