These are my picks for the upcoming NFL season. Each CENTRAL division could belong to anybody, so I picked a couple of dark horses. Atlanta has made the playoffs every even numbered year starting in 1978. New England may just prove to be the CLASS of the AFC this year. NFC EAST CENTRAL WEST ---- ------- ---- Washington 12-4 Detroit 9-7 L. A. 10-6 Dallas 11-5 Atlanta 10-6 Playoffs: Dallas over Atlanta Washington over Detroit Dallas over L. A. Dallas over Washington AFC EAST CENTRAL WEST ---- ------- ---- New England 11-5 Houston 9-7 L. A. 11-5 Miami 10-6 San Diego 9-7 Playoffs: Miami over San Diego New England over Houston L. A. over Miami New England over L. A. Super Bowl: DALLAS over NEW ENGLAND -- Roger Pannell ARPA: pannell%dosadi.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA, pannell%dosadi.DEC@Purdue-Merlin.ARPA UUCP: {allegra, decvax, ucbvax}!decwrl!rhea!dosadi!pannell

With the NFL football season fast approaching, everyone is starting to mouth off about why THEIR team will win the Super Bowl. Well, here is a chance to put your money where your mouth is. I am willing to keep a record of people's predictions as to which team's will: 1) Win each Division 2) Win the Wild Card spots in each Conference 3) Win the Conference Championships 4) Win the Super Bowl I will take submissions up until midnight September 6 and post the results on September 7. Then, when Super Bowl times comes around in January we will see who was right and who was wrong. Please, if you are going to submit a prediction, do so for each catagory. I will not accept letters with just one or two predictions such as "San Francisco will beat Los Angeles in the Super Bowl". You may e-mail me you responses or post them on the net and I will keep an account of everyone's picks. You could also just not bother and give the Redskins the Lombardi trophy right now. They are going to win the Super Bowl anyway.

My NFL picks: NFC East: Redskins if Riggins fails then Rogers rolls NFC Central: Chicago Bears love that D, but weak division helps NFC West: San Francisco of course AFC East: Miami Dolphins Marino won't be as awesome but Shula will AFC Central: Pittsburgh who else could win this division? Steelers (as in, who else has the talent?) AFC West: Seattle my team, I'm baised, but Easley is great and Warner is back NFC Wildcards: St. Louis and NY Giants AFC Wildcards: Raiders (who cares how) and New England (it is close between Raiders, Denver, and KC; NE is in because of easier division schedule) NFC Champion: 49er's (did I see someone pick the Giants?!?) AFC Champion: Seahawks (ok, ok, so it's a dream) Superbowl Champion: Seahawks (why stop now) Peter B

<<>> For what it's worth, here are my predictions for the 1985 NFL season. Take it with a grain of salt. You must remember that last year I posted more than one article claiming that the Raiders would easily beat the Seahawks in the AFC wildcard game. Oh well, at least I got the Superbowl right. NFC EAST: Redskins NFC CENTRAL: Bears NFC WEST: 49'ers NFC WILDCARDS: Cowboys Packers AFC EAST: Dolphins AFC CENTRAL: Pittsburg AFC WEST: Raiders AFC WILDCARDS: Seahawks Broncos NFC Champion: 49'ers AFC Champion: Raiders (Assuming someone else knocks off the Seahawks.

tmg@druhi.UUCP (GilipskyTM) (08/31/85)
A.F.C. East: Miami * Weak division. I'm not as awed by them as some * people. Take away Marino and what do you * got? Central: Pittsburgh * Nothing that great in this division. West: Seattle * Only strong division in the AFC. This team * is good has a good coach and just might be * hungry enough to do it. Wildcard: L.A. Raiders * Still have some talent, but I've always hated them. Wildcard: Denver Broncos * Are they for real? Only time will tell. A.F.C. Champ: Seattle over L.A. * Like I said, AFC West-The division where all the AFC strenght is. N.F.C. East: Washington * If New York and St. Louis have good years (you never know * which way the balls going to bounce) they'll give them * a run for it. I'll enjoy watching the demise of the * cowboys, I like them almost as much as I like the raiders. Central: Chicago * Being a packer backer this isn't easy for me to admit. * They'll be tough to beat if thier defense stays healthy * along with McMahon, Payton and Co. West: San Fran. * With all that talent they should have no problem in * division if they stay healthy. Wildcard: Packers * The pack will do ok this year. The defense is much * improved and the passing game should still be as * exciting as ever. Wildcard: Giants * Just a guess, could go to either St. Louis or the * Rams if Dickerson is around to help. NFC Champ: San Fran Super Bowl: San Francisco over Seattle. I'm not a 49er fan. But I believe when they're healty and playing well they're best in NFL. i.e. They can beat anyone when the money's on the line. Tom Gilipsky AT&T I.S. Denver, Co.
tml@drupa.UUCP (Tim Larison) (09/01/85)
My NFL picks: NFC East: NY Giants Best D in the division NFC Central: Chicago Bears Won last year and now have McMahon at qb NFC West: San Francisco Who else? AFC East: Miami Dolphins New England may have as much talent, but they don't have Don Shula AFC Central: Pittsburgh Strong finish last year a sign of things Steelers to come AFC West: Denver Broncos Will show last year not a fluke; best defense and now have breakaway threats in Steve Sewall at rb and V. Johnson at wr. NFC Wildcards: Washington & Green Bay AFC Wildcards: Seattle & New England (Raiders need a QB) NFC Champion: NY Giants AFC Champion: Denver Broncos Superbowl Champion: Denver Broncos (perhaps my home town bias is showing)

I could MAYBE understand putting Seattle at third (I doubt it!), but Denver at the bottom? I also would be very surprised to see San Diego finish second must less first in this division (Sorry Charger fans, I like the team, but in the last couple of years I haven't seen much excitement from Fouts). This is what I would like to see happen, Denver 12-4 Seattle 11-5 Los Angeles 9-7 (Maybe 10-6) Kansas City 8-8 San Diego 6-10 {uw-beaver,decvax!microsof,ucbvax!lbl-csam,allegra,ssc-vax}!fluke!beyer Jeff Beyer; John Fluke Mfg.

I agree with the first posting, maybe cause I live in San Diego :-:- but Spanos, the new Chargers own, is cleaning house. He traded Jackson the AFC leading rusher last year, Duckworth a speed burner, signed Tim Spencer RB, maybe Gary Anderson will be here in a few days, Trumaine Johnson is here. I believe if the offense protects Fouts They are on their way. Don't laugh to much but watch their defense. It's all new and GOOD.

Well, here are my picks. NFC West Central East San Francisco Chicago Washington Los Angeles St. Louis AFC West Central East Seattle Cincinnati Miami Kansas City New England Playoffs: NFC AFC Cardinals over Rams New England over Kansas City 49ers over Cardinals Seattle over Patriots Redskins over Bears Miami over Bengals 49ers over Redskins Miami over Seattle Super Bowl: 49ers over Miami (again) Notes: 49ers are by far and away the class of the NFL but a lot of things can happen on the way to the Super Bowl like injuries and Overconfidence. In the AFC west there are too many good teams for 3 of them to make the playoffs as they will knock each other off. Seattle is a typical Chuck Knox team in that it is a good regular season team but not a good playoff team. Marino will not be as awesome this year but he should be good enough.

Given that they reside in the NFC Central, and the fact that they ARE for real, and that the Bud-man is back, and they're schedule (pretty weak, since they were 3-13 last year), they have an excellant chance of winning first place.
