It’s now time for predictions sure to go wrong, 2024-25 edition! First up is the Atlantic Division. Was actually pretty proud of what happened last year in the prediction game, even thought my whiff on Florida was pretty atrocious. Let’s go for redemption this time around.
Last season, the Atlantic Division teams racked up 748 total points, which was down slightly from the 761 they accumulated in 2022-23 (courtesy of Boston having a record setting year that season, you’ll recall). We’ll shoot for about 730 this time around again, without looking at the betting markets or opening lines, guessing that without a pure non-competitive team in the division that the others won’t be able to feast on an absolute bottom dweller.
