[net.sport.football] Pick, NFL week #15 predictions

ekblaw@uiucdcs.CS.UIUC.EDU (12/17/85)

Nice picks, but Jets were way off!!!  You did a serious error in NFL picks;
you used a linear progression based on only two games.  Yes, the Bears lost
in the Orange Bowl, but so have the Jets!  I don't see how you can so quickly
say that the Jets are better than the Dolphins or that the Dolphins are better
than the Bears.  I have mentioned several times during the year how difficult
it is for an NFL team to go unbeaten; especially considering the out-of-divisiongames that the Bears played!  Sheesh, to only have lost one is a major achieve-
ment! (Dolphins can't say that.  They lost two, both to teams usually weak --
Detroit and Houston).  No, that linear progression was a grievous error, and
you paid for it.
