If it isn’t clear, the Cleveland Browns will not keep the “Believeland” magic and make the playoffs.
However, the Browns will not be 2008 0-16 Detroit Lions. In fact, they will finish 1-15 by beating the Cincinnati Bengals, and secure the #1 overall pick (what a lucky guy).
Bears (2-14) lose out on the #1 pick lottery by beating San Francisco (2-14) in Week 13.
Bears clean house with Jay Cutler and John Fox.
Ravens fire John Harbaugh after a 5-11 record.
Bengals will not make the playoffs (9-6-1), and Marvin Lewis will be on the hot seat going into 2017.
Jets do just good enough to not have a top 5 draft pick and finish 7-9.
Rams finish 5-11 after starting the season 3-1. “8-8 Jeff Fisher” will never coach in the NFL ending in LA in 2016.
The Colts finish 4-12 and barely avoid last place in the division by beating the Jags in week 17.
Cardinals (8-7-1) and Panthers (6-10) will not make the playoffs.
“Carson Wentz Show” in Philly finishes 8-8 and misses the playoffs.
Houston Texans miss out on back-to-back AFC South championships by one game (9-7).
New England would have gone 16-0 if they had Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski the whole season. However, they’ll have to settle for 15-1.
Cowboys come back down to reality and finish 11-5. Continue the NFC East champion carousel for another year.
Tony Romo will come back from injury to start a couple games and lose his job with the Redskins, embarrassing the Cowboys, while America is stuffing its face on Thanksgiving. Zeke wins Rookie of the Year.
The Titans (10-6) win the division for the first time since 2008 but do not win a playoff game, sorry Titans fans.
The Oakland Raiders (10-6) squeak into the playoffs for the first time since 2002, and leave Oakland, on their way to becoming high rollers in Las Vegas, officially winners.
Three AFC West teams make the playoffs: Chiefs (11-5), Broncos (10-6), and Raiders.
Washington Redskins (10-5-1) not only make the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time since 1991-1992 but win a playoff game. Kirk Cousins signs a long term deal keeping him in Washington. (Yes, I am a Redskins fan, and yes I am extremely optimistic. Sorry not sorry.)
Ties are unacceptable NFL; the NFL needs to bring in a college style overtime. Put the ball on the 35 or 40 and let each team get the ball. Play until someone wins... pretty simple.

See playoff and Super Bowl predictions below.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

722

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2374

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
