I feel like these predictions are a little easy on the "bold" part.

The Lions making the playoffs - bold. I will also second that prediction.
The Bengals winning one game - not bold, because everyone would agree with that or something similar, like winning between 1-3 games.
The Skins having a top 15 defense? Not bold, I think based upon what we've seen this preseason we're definitely capable of that.
The Skins having a top 5 defense? Bold. Also note I'm using that as an example, because I don't believe that'll happen this year lol.

I'll go out on a limb.
John Beck will have a season equal to Mark Brunell's 2005 season, where he threw for 3000 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 10 picks.
Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo will be the first pair of Redskins bookend linebackers to both make the Pro Bowl the same year.
Here's another bold one: Ryan Kerrigan = DROY.

I feel like the "Bold" part still needs to be emphasized. Another example just to give an idea:

Bold prediction: Aceinthehouse predicting we will go 14-2 last year.

Not bold: Santana Moss will have 80 catches. (Sorry Jontrem)
