Joe's NFL Predictions

Super Bowl: not the Raiders or Falcons. Probably Denver and Cowboys

Bears Record: 11 - 5
49ers Record: 8 - 8
Titans Record: 3 -13
Broncos Record: 11 - 5

10 Things I Think:

1. The NFC is terrible
2. Mel Kiper should play baseball. He gets 30% right (.300) and he's an all-star, borderline hall of famer.
3. Bill Walsh had more impact on the game than Parcells, Gibbs, and Ditka COMBINED.
4. Matt Schaub (or however its spelled) will be the most overdrafted Fantasy player. But he'll have great numbers every 3rd game.
5. Vince Young is... difficult to rate. He needs to get better. He probably won't. But I guess Donovan did, kind of. And Culpepper. Steve Young actually did... Vince's stats last year: More picks than TDs. Hmm. 52% completion rate. 67 QB rating... Hmm. Hmm. THIS GUY MADE THE PRO BOWL!?!?! What a joke. Still could be good, except his team is terrible. But, they have one of the top 5 coaches on their side, which will help.
6. Cardinals, the "team to surprise everybody" for the last 3 or 4 years, still won't.
7. The Lions will.
8. If you have the number one fantasy pick, grab Deshaun Foster. I'm hoping I have the number two fantasy pick.
9. Brett Favre is the QB version of Curtis Martin, only with a few more amazing plays b/c of his arm strength. Should have done more with the raw athleticism that he had. Both are compilers, but both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, no question.
10. Marvin Harrison retires at the end of the year.

Broncos ? Super Bowl? AH sweet sounds!!

WOW.... I would be shocked if they win the division... Maybe LT gets hurt.... I do expect them in the playoffs tho. Henry should be very very solid for them...

I cant help but believe that the PAtriots win the SB hands down. Major improvements on an already solid team. Best move? WR.... not Moss but Welker.... Brady will love him....

Walsh is the most often-imitated and yet most seldom-duplicated. What came 1st? His system or his players? Whatever the order he maximized the results.
Even Seifert won 2 SBs - wheres he these days? Too bad Walsh retired too soon. The Niners may have won more.

At least Ditka sells all sorts of stuff and makes to MNF this year....

Prediction: I still wont have cable or Sunday ticket this year.....

Oh! Anyone with cable willing to let me put a slingbox in their house? HEE HEE
