Cincinnati looks like they'll be much improved and have a change of attitude. I haven't lost my mind, but I see them going 8-8.

The Cardinals (my team, eat me you frontrunning, bandwagoning ho's.) suck this year and will be lucky to go 7-9.

I suppose the biggest surprise will be a competitive Bengals team. I'm not a fan, but from playing Fantasy Football and getting NFL Ticket on DirecTV, I see a lot of games from all teams.

Hey, my superbowl picks may have been way off but I can pick the surprise teams! : )

Bucs look good (monday's loss to the Rams aside), so I will go with them. In the AFC, I think my Pats will be improved, and in the playoffs - but I cant pick them. Despite my hate for "the fish", I think they have all the pieces to go far.

Bucs over Dolphins

At least I was right about the Pats being improved and in the playoffs - sheesh. Of course, it's not like I am heartbroken or anything about "the fish" falling short again.

BTW, someone tell the Titans to bring their thermal underwear: single digits with a negative wind chill forcast for tomorrow night in Foxborough.

Wow with the exception of Winnows Bengal prediction and a few other random picks that was some pretty crappy picking. Sadly I would have agreed with most of them before the season started.

Superbowl Pick
St Louis vs KC. Who wouldnt want to see that match up? That game would be higher scoring than an NBA game.

If Mike Martz had any fuckin clue on how to coach a football game, my Superbowl prediction would still be alive. Who sits on the ball with 40 seconds on the clock, 1 time out, ball sitting on the 20 yard line?? Who settles for a friggin field goal for a tie rather than go for the win? Martz is an absolutely moron! He should be fired for that pathetic coaching decision.

It wouldn't have been alive past today's game anyway! Go Colts!

Colts looked mighty impressive today, I think they have it in them to go all the way.... New England will be a tough road game, though. It's supposed to be snowing too.

The colts havn't punted once in either play off game. If they play the pats like they played the last two games along with alittle better D the will be in the Superbowl and I will be happy.

Colts' major weakness is the run defense. And running the ball isn't exactly New England's strong side... Manning is simply amazing, I agree with what some of the comentators said: It's like having an offensive coordinator on the field.

Just think his younger brother is just as good as he is.

I actually picked pretty good here. Maybe I should bet next year. I still think Philly will be going to Super bowl but Indy is SOOOOO damn hot right now. Really depends on whether James can get any rushing against the NE defense. I don't think there will be any stopping Manning so NE needs to control the clock and keep him off the field. Bleed the clock like crazy with running and short passes all day.

If Indy makes it to Super Bowl then I like them on a nice warm field. Otherwise Philly can beat NE.
