NFL Picks

OK, here goes.

My picks to win each division. Some will seem obvious and those are likely the ones that will come back to bite me. The ones that look like I've lost my mind are probably the ones that in 20 weeks will make me look like a genius.

NFC:
East - Dallas
North - Green Bay
South - Carolina (I just don't see Atlanta getting over that let down. Plus a new stadium. Old rule of the stock market is sell a stock when the HQ moves to a new fancy building. I believe the same for Sports teams.)

West - Seattle

AFC
East - New England (I so hope I am wrong here)
North - Cincinnati
South - Jacksonville
West - Oakland

Let the criticism begin!!

Seattle is a good pick, but don't dismiss Arizona.

Oakland in the AFC West? I don't think so. But then again... We'll see.






New England and Seattle in the SuperBowl. Ho hum!

Hey, If all my picks go south I may have to investigate the size of a donation required to have this whole post eliminated.

OTOH, what it would cost to have it preserved forever.....

NE losing the first of 16 games they are favored to win this season was somehow quite satisfying. I wouldn't want to be the Saints next week though

They sure didn't deliver in fantasy. That wasn't the same team in the second half on either side of the ball.
