There are 2 things I keep hearing that are beginning to bother me: 1) The AFC West is the toughest division in football 2) People making fun of the Cowpies for losing to Detroit First off, an unbiased analyst would surmise at this point in the season that the NFC Central is the toughest division, just as Yours Truly predicted about a month ago (Hmmm, should I include a smiley face here? ). That means that Dallas should just be thankful it wasn't blown away for both halves of last week's game. The Packers haven't played a decent game yet, but have a 1-1 record. The Vikings (I'll admit I still have a hard time grasping this) look like a team to be reckoned with. Chicago, if not already, will be the best team in the NFL by season's end. With Steve Young, Tampa Bay will no longer be a patsy. Detroit always had talent, now they have a coach as well. The NFC Central and AFC West are each 7-3 at this point, but the NFC Central should pull ahead this week. My forecast follows: Chicago ov Minnesota 1-1 Seattle ov LA Rams 1-0 Detroit ov Indianapolis 2-1 LA Raiders ov San Francisco 2-0 Tampa Bay ov New Orleans 3-1 San Diego ov Cincinnati 3-0 Green Bay ov NY Jets 4-1 Kansas City ls Miami 3-1 Denver ls Atlanta 3-2 Sorry, Mike Well, let's see how it turns out !!!

The Bears are a good team, if they can keep McMahon out of the hospital. However, the Vikings definately are to be taken seriously, their running game is almost non-existent , but with Kramer to Carter, Rhymes, Jones, Anderson, Brown etc.... the passing game is awesome!! Also, the defense has the best turnover ratio in the NFL. The Purple People Eaters are back!! Shari Nelson ....ihnp4!rosevax!shari
