Interesting that they're able to pick the correct winner overall with such accuracy, while being so very wrong about things like this:

The Packers will tie Favre’s Minnesota Vikings for the NFC’s top record but will be the top seed in the conference due to a stronger record against divisional foes.

It probably comes down to good overall modelling of player attributes and the game itself, coupled with a fair bit of luck.
I remember an EA NHL prediction from 2006-2007 which had the Flames winning the cup, Iginla getting the Art Ross (with something like 120 points) and Tanguay taking the Con Smythe.
