Definitely consider getting PS+ if you do pick up a Vita. There's some great deals and tons of (good) free games.

Not exactly surprising... the signed one of the best QBs in history and the AFC west is the weakest division in the NFL.
That was as risky a prediction as the Bills not making the playoffs.
