10 BOLD Predictions For The 2017 Chicago Cubs

1. Repeat

You had to know this was coming right?

I predicted last season that the Cubs would break their 108-year streak and win their first World Series championship in over a century and that came true so why not predict that they’ll go back to back?

Of course, history is against them again.

The last team to repeat as World Champions were the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. If any team is up to making history, it’s got to be the Cubs.

One good thing is the fact they are the first team to ever repeat as World Series champions when they did it in 1907-1908 so my thoughts are if they did it in 1907-1908, why can’t they do it in 2016-2017?

And before you’re quick to laugh at my prediction, how many people laughed at me when I said they’d win it all last year?

I’ll be checking in throughout the season to see if I can continue my outstanding accuracy rate.
