Last year we had a thread like this, so I made one for this year since there wasn't any all stickied up yet. Basically, this is just your way of predicting the final standings and the season awardees, then checking at the end of the year who was the closest in making their picks.
(BTW, keep in mind that my personal predictions were made even before the season started. In all honesty, they were made without being influenced by the showings of some players and teams who have already started to do well.)
