In baseball, there are the Yankees. In the NBA, the Lakers. In golf, Tiger Woods, in tennis you can hardly go wrong with Pete Sampras. Nobody gets all of them right, but it's still pretty easy to pick winners, really.
Sportswriters do it all the time.
It can't be that hard. Try the NFL in 2000. This is one goofy, turned-around season. They not only won't go to the Super Bowl, they may not make the playoffs. The same is true for the Bucs and Colts.
