ESPN reporting that my Patriots may grab Ty Law. I'm afraid.

Kubiak finally realizes that he got lucky with Terrell Davis and stops trying to turn scrubs into feature backs hopefully. 7-9 Texans Please draft a real RB next year.

More like for the 1000th time. This is the trendy pick that everyone is calling.

Which is what worries me about it. The trendy picks usually only end up half right most of the time. That is, they only get one team correct if they're lucky. Sometimes the trendy pick ends up dead wrong all the way around.

The Chargers would be the obvious wrong choice given the conference they play in and the incredible amount of great teams in the AFC. Patriots, Colts, Jaguars, and Pittsburgh all have an excellent chance at making the Super Bowl instead of San Diego. But the Cowboys have been playoff choke artists for the past decade. So I'd say take any predictions (including mine of Seahawks v Patriots) to be taken for what they are. Complete pie-in-the-sky guesses.

You're no where near the first.

It's tough to pick the super bowl this year. Cowboys have a great team on paper, but havn't proven anything in the playoffs. The Packers got rid of Favre. The Giants won't repeat, hardly anyone does and they lost both starting DE's from last year. There are no other teams that impress me enough to say anything about them. The Vikings won't do anything until they get a QB. Who else should we be paying attention too? Saints? One year wonders so far, lets see if they can step it up. Seattle's WR corps are hurt. Who else?

As far as the AFC it's easier. San Diego, New England, Jacksonbille, Indy etc are all the league's finest. Unless a team from the AFC North gets on a roll like the Giants last year, I don't see any team going anywhere from that division.

Interesting year coming up.

Dallas vs NE in the Superbowl, NE coming ahead.

Unless of course..

Dallas chokes.
Romo gets hurt (they play like dog shit when anyone but him is under center).
Moss gets hurt.
Brady gets hurt.

I'm pulling for Miami to win about 7 to 8 wins this season. Cam Cameron was just a horrible, horrible coach. They should've won 5-6 games last year but due to Cameron they barely avoided being the worst team ever

The Patriots should send Cam Cameron a gift basket handing them Wes Welker on a silver platter like that.

I think Miami has a pretty decent shot at winning 7-8 games, they're a good team, that just had an unfortunate run of bad luck last season.

5-6 at most. Their problem isn't themselves as much as it is the division. They'll lose 2 to the pats, likely 2 to the jets and at least one to the bills. That's 0-5 right there. They'd have to go over .500 the rest of the way to even win 6.

Yeah, Miami lost a ton of close games that could have gone either way and fell the wrong way. Trading Chambers midseason, and losing some key players to injury resulted in a terrible season. I would love to see 6 wins or so and that would be a huge step in the right direction for sure
