Forever Giants:1936 National League Champion New York Giants(Year 54)
1935 is here.
My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.
-Mathewson is in the first Hall of Fame class, Horace Stoneham becomes the principal owner of the club, the Giants win the pennant and lose the Series to the Yankees. Travis Jackson and (as a player) Bill Terry retire as Purebloods.

2015 NFL Playoff Predictions
There are only four teams in this years NFL playoffs. I know it seems like more than that, but there are only four.
If there's a team other than Seattle, Green Bay, New England, Denver in the Super Bowl, It's a real surprise.
Lets run through the tournament.
AFC
Baltimore +3 Pittsburgh
Indianapolis -3 Cincinnati
I'll say the Ravens win straight up as well.
New England over Baltimore (I'll probably advocate taking the points)
Denver over Indianapolis
AFC Championship: Denver over New England
NFC
Detroit +6.5 Dallas (Dallas straight up)
Arizona +6.5 Carolina (Carolina straight up)
Seattle over Carolina
Green Bay over Dallas
NFC Championship: Seattle over Green Bay
Super Bowl 49: Denver over Seattle
