How any "expert" could pick the Steelers to win it all is beyond me.

That's the 2nd "expert" that I've seen pick the Cowboys to win the NFC East, yet still have the Eagles in the SB.  What the hell is the point in that?  Just idiots trying to be different.

I still think the NFC is about 1 year away from presenting any major challenge to the Eagles.  Michael Vick is the Millenium's version of Randall Cunningham, great ability but will never be a true QB.  Favre is too old, Coolpooper has no one to throw to.  I think the only legit threat this year will be the Panthers and we will beat them too.

As for the Chiefs?  LMFAO!!!  :-D
No one picked the Patriots?

I also think Ben RottenBurger will fall back to earth this year.  My prediction:

Eagles vs Jets

Eagles    31
Jets        13

I've got the SB as Eagles-Jets too. I did my season predictions at work last night and will put them up in Monster's thread in the NFL forum.

Roethlisberger has been terrible. I read the other day that Ken Whisenhunt, the OC, has had to cut back on the playbook because Ben looks so bad.

How could know one pick the Pats?

The Chiefs....you've got to be kidding me. Trent Green and no defense. Yea, thats the path to Detroit.

Other than me picking the Eagles to go 13-3, I have the same picks for the NFC east as they do.

If anything, they should be proud that they have near the same picks as me.

If they knew, they'd probably be more suicidal than proud.

They'd be suicidal out of jealousy that they weren't the originators of those unbelievable picks.

The only "expert" I've ever heard of out of that group is Pompei.

The rest might as well be guys who have cleaned my rain gutters in the past.

What's up with all the talk of a "solid Cowboys defense?"

I didn't catch ANY of their preseason, so I  don't know. I do know; though, that there's no way this could be true. Are the Cowgirls everyones "sexy" pick this year or what? I think they're this years Seattle.
