ESPN Makes Embarrassing Mistake Predicting Wins for NFL Teams During Their Schedule Release Special

Audio By Carbonatix

Upon the release of the regular season schedule, ESPN attempted to predict the wins of the all 32 NFL teams. Unfortunately for the so-called Worldwide Leader of Sports no one was checking if their math was correct.

Via Pro Football Talk

assuming there are no ties, NFL teams will go a combined 256-256 this season.

So when ESPN’s team of NFL writers compiled their predictions, it was amusing to see that they picked a total of 289 wins and only 223 losses. Yes, league-wide the Worldwide Leader thinks NFL teams are going to go 289-223, a .564 winning percentage in a world where the only certainty is a .500 winning percentage.

It's hard to take these ESPN "experts" seriously when they predict the NFL to be a collective 66 games over .500 next season. Which is, of course, impossible.

26 of the 32 teams are predicted to be .500 or better. Only 2 teams with less than 7 wins.https://t.co/bBl6lbo7q7

This is pretty embarrassing and hilarious at the same time. Maybe ESPN cut all the fact checkers when they laid off all those people last year.
