A 6.5 win prediction? Oh my god, as a guy who hates losing, what the hell should I watch from September to January? Hockey? We haven't been this low since 2017, when it was 5.5. And what a terrible year that was, eh? But that should tell you all you need to know about the reliability of win total predictions. Predictions, by betting sites or football publications are about as accurate as fan base predictions. To put it into two words, "nobody knows". But in preparation for the worst, let's start the kvetching and hand wringing now. We'll be well practiced by the time teams kick off the season!!!
