<description>15 predictions:

- An AFC team wins Super Bowl XL

YES!

1.0 - 0.0

- Terrell Owens does quite well in 2006, playing for an AFC team

NOPE!

1.0 - 1.0

- The Detroit Tigers have their first winning season since 1993, but miss the playoffs anyway

Half-Right...

1.5 - 1.5

- Matt Millen is fired as President and CEO of the Detroit Lions

NOT YET!

1.5 - 2.5

- The Detroit Pistons again face the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, and this time they win handily

NOPE!

1.5 - 3.5

- The Detroit Red Wings make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, but lose to Ottawa

NOPE!

1.5 - 4.5

- NCAA Basketball Final Four: Washington, Florida, Duke, and Michigan State

3/4ths Wrong!

1.75 - 5.25

- USC wins the National Championship by beating Texas in the Rose Bowl (in a surprisingly close game)

Doesn&#039;t getting &quot;close game&quot; correct count for something? Like, 1/4th of a point?

2.00 - 6.00

- Reggie Bush goes #1 in the NFL Draft

NOPE!

2.00 - 7.00

- The White Sox don&#039;t win their division

RIGHT!

3.00 - 7.00

- The Miami Heat do not make it to the Eastern Conference Finals

Oops...

3.00 - 8.00

- Lebron James is NBA MVP

Oops...

3.00 - 9.00

- Steve Yzerman retires

YEP!

4.00 - 9.00

- The Dallas Mavericks make it to the Western Conference Finals (and lose)

Oops...

4.00 - 10.00

- The US makes it all the way to the World Cup semifinals before losing, but then loses in the match for third place

WRONG!!!

4.00 - 11.00

So, that pretty much sucked...</description>
