My predictions:

2. The Badgers will finish in the top 4 in the 2012 Big 10 (12) season and not win the Big 10 title.True
3. The Green Bay Packers will not win the Super Bowl. (maybe I can be a jinx) True

25. There will be a major forest fire in the Mount Charleston area this year. Hopefully wrong
26. The number of police shootings will be down significantly in 2012. So far, so good
27. Gitmo, the prison for terrorists in Cuba, will still be open at the end of the 2012. Still true
