NFL Officials Predictions

[tempestos]

I think Hochuli is in the top 3 of NFL officials. I would also put Mike Carey in that group along with Kukar. Their mechanics seem first rate and they are all very decisive with their calls. They also do a great job of "selling" calls made by their crew. They hustle, yet always pay attention. Kukar got a great assignment with the NFC championship and I will be happy with either Carey or Hochuli in the SB. However, I assume it will go to Hochuli because he has the better crew. If you look at playoff history, several of his guys usually either get a championship game or the SB. Since this year, they are going with crew assignments over the all-star team, the overall crew score would seem to be more important and I think Hochuli's will probably beat Carey's.
