[net.sport.football] NFL Picking on.

I, for one, would like to know how all those computer pick programs auto-
matically puts everybody 4-0 or 3-0 or whatever against the AFC Central.
Houston showed that they do have something in them by beating Miami last
week. Cincinatti was almost a playoff team (and alot of people think that
they will make the playoffs, see the NFL Picks articles). Pittsburgh is
finally out of their rookie plagued last season and is showing their might
(so they played the Dolts, 45 points is 45 points.) The only team with no
chance this year is, as always, Cleaverland. They are this years Buffalo.

Ho, Ho, HO!  Boy am I glad Monday Night Football get's all the
coverage it does!  Show's what some people know about teams they
haven't heard anything about.  The Browns one-on-one style of
coverage worked real well against LIPPS and STALLWORTH!  Remember,
last years #2 overall rated defense (yes, the Browns!) may just be
this years #1 defense!  Just watch our linebackers!

	And remember, while our offensive line may not have looked
great, they are all young players.  Give them a while, and then
stand back.  And next year there is Kosar!  (Yes, NEXT year.  Marty
doesn't plan to ruin Kosar by pushing him.  And Kosar doesn't mind! 
He WANTS to play here.  Forever!)  Now if we just had some wide
outs....

AFC Central?  You must all know by now, it's the BROWNS!

P.S.  Beating the Colts this year, no matter how bad, means NOTHING.

The Steelers sure didn't show much might against the Browns on Monday.
In fact, I thought the Browns looked pretty tough...the score could've been
worse.  The Browns have a helluva set of linebackers and a monster-sized,
but inexperienced offensive line.  Good smart quarterback in Danielson.
They'll cause problems for any team, especially the teams thinking that
they have an easy win with Cleveland on their schedule.

My strong impression of that game was not so much the Browns' coverage of
Lipps and Stallworth as it was that Malone had an AWFUL game.  He usually
had good pass protection and often had open receivers, but his passes
were too often off-target, resulting in incomplete passes.

Not that I minded.  This Raider fan is always happy to see the Steelers
drop a game.  (And to think that I spent seven years in Pittsburgh
listening to Myron Cope.  If you think Howard Cosell is abnoxious ...)
