The Raiders won't win their division next year.

You don't get any points for predicting that.

In a thread titled "NFL 2007 in review" should we be worried about predictions?

In 2001, Edgerrin James had a 110 yards per game average, but only played in six games. Priest Holmes led the league with 1,555 yards. No fewer than three RBs have rushed for 1,600 yards each year between 2002 through 2006.

How many RBs rushed for over 100 yards per game in 2007.

Spoiler:
Zero


Who was the last RB to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season?

Spoiler:
Jamal Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards in 2003

If I were going to review the year 2007 with regards to the NFL I think I'd start with the Patriots being the first team ever to go 16-0 in a regular season. But that's just me.

If Peterson started every game last season, at his pace he would have broken Eric Dickerson's record. The rookie one.

They were also the first team ever to trademark 19-0 but fall flat on their face.
