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

I can see either of them before I can see the Falcons winning it all.

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!!!

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 wouldn't say that. he may not have moss but he has some good WR, don't sleep on Burleson.

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.

PhillyGirl · September 02, 2005, 09:22:23 AM

He looked like shtein for the last 6 games last year too.

MDS · September 02, 2005, 09:52:09 AM

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.

I wouldn't be too terribly proud to be as retarded as those guys.
