Conference back40::soapbox

    We should do a picks pool and see who is the best prognosticator.

    
    NFC Central: Green Bay Packers
    NFC East:    Dallas Cowboys
    NFC West:    San Fransisco 49'ers
    
    AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs
    AFC East: New England Patriots
    AFC Central: Pittsburgh Steelers
    
    Super Bowl: Green Bay Packers  vs Kansas City Chiefs
    
    Winner: Green Bay Packers
    

    
    ok, we could do it weekly. rank them 15-1 or by points spread?

    1 point per correct pick, no spreads.

    
      The Cowboys will stumble early with Emmitt out and Michael on
     suspension.  They will put it together by November and will go
     on to win it all, humiliating the Pats in December along the
     way.  No other team has the personnel to match them.

    >New England will defeat Atlanta for the BOWL.  
    
    Hehehehehehehe!!

    I predict that the Bengals will have an equal number of wins and
    losses.  A bold prediction, perhaps, but I make it nonetheless.

    
    Steve, at least you have Kijana Carter back this year. Plus, i like
    Jeff Blake, very strong arm.

    They did pretty good in pre-season, but that's rather meaningless, IMO. 
    FWIW, they lost about 5-6 games last year by less than a touchdown -
    most by 3 pts. or less.  Not that they would have won the superbowl or
    anything, but they would have had a decent record.  8^)
    
    
    -steve

         It's the Cowboys and Colts this year. No question about it. 

    Mark!  You're picking the Packers for the Superbowl???
    I don't want no steenkin Bears fan cheering for my team.  B^)
    I must admit I, do like their chance this year.  Depends on Farves
    health.  After that medication addiction thing, he will need
    to find other means of pain relief.  Or, miss a game here or
    there...

         The way the NFL is set up now, no team but Dallas or possibly the
    49ers will EVER win a superbowl. The AFC will remain a complete
    shambles for a long time, although the teams are slowly improving.
    Green Bay might have a remote chance, but the Patriots will be in the
    gutter this year with strong competition from Miami, Indianapolis, and
    Buffalo. The Broncos look strong now, but we've seen this routine
    before. Expect another off and on season. At least they've gotten back
    to the point where other teams fear Mile High Stadium. Kansas City
    remains the most overrated team in the NFL, with the Raiders a close
    second. 

    Go Pats!!!

    Football?  Do you guys not watch real football (soccer)?  Here I was
    getting a little excited about a football note to find it's American 
    Football.
