Preseason Victories

The Steelers, Colts, Bucs, and Redskins were the only teams to have a winning record in 2005 and post no wins (Steelers and Redskins) or just one win (Colts and Bucs) in the preseason. The Steelers and colts both won yesterday (did you really think they wouldn’t?), the Bucs lost and the Redskins play tonight.

The Cowboys, Panthers, Giants and Bengals were the only teams to have a winning record in 2005 and be undefeated in the 2006 preseason. Of course, the Cowboys, Panthers, and Giants lost and the Bengals had the sole win in this group.

If one were to make predictions based on the preseason, one would have been 2 – 5 in these games with the last game to be played tonight. My prediction is the Redskins will win tonight and make it 2 – 6 for those (e.g. Burkhardt) who believe preseason wins are important.

The full season preview will be written next week. HTTR
