DETROIT -- First of all, I know.
I know the season started Wednesday. But one game out of 162 isn't giving me much of an advantage in making predictions, although, based on past history, I can use all the help I can get.
So here they are, somewhat belatedly.
Clip and save.
Unless they're bad.
Which they will probably be.
