1. Dallas? Do you really honestly think Dallas
has any chance whatsoever of making the superbowl?

Patriots over Green Bay.

4. Uh, no. That's why I worded it the way I did?
:-)

5. hope spring eternal
dallas has had a very good year. when the tuna brings in better talent next year, they will be the team to beat.

sadly the afc's best teams are a lot better than the nfc's best this season

i will root for the stinking eagles only for limpdicks benefit.

8. My Cowboys
Had the easiest schedule I've ever seen a team other than a Florida college team play. I told people at the beginning of the season that they could go 10 and 6 and never play anyone with a winning record. I thought Carolina would be worse than they were, and I thought they would beat the Saints and lose both games to Philly, but otherwise they won exactly the games I predicted they would.

It had nothing to do with skill or coaching, it was all about schedule. And who are the first two teams they would play in the playoffs? Carolina, who's coming back to earth, and Philly, who is due for a loss. Dallas has beaten both. They could literally get to the Championship game and never play a decent game. They won't, but it's possible.

I hope my man Jerry pays the same schedule maker next year.

3. That's okay, let people make fun of NE
That's all they did the year they won the Superbowl, and whiney Rams fans still think it was an undeserved win.


Kurt shoulda stayed home and ate some more chunky soup, that day.

6. Well, they have more of a chance than the Rams, that's for sure.
But they are still overrated. But well coached. Who knows, this season there are no dominant teams, NE could do it.

But I won't believe it till I see it.

I didn't put my real pick up there, which would be the Titans versus Philadelphia. But there's nothing funny in that matchup.

9. Overrated, overschmated
What was that I heard about the "Greatest Show on Turf" from media, sportcasters, radio, ESPN, everybody?

Didn't matter one bit.

NE won because they had the will to win.

However, I'd like to see TN beat Philly in a Superbowl.

Not this one, though.

10. Well, if it makes you feel better
I picked New England in that one because I thought the Rams were overrated. But now I think NE is. So you'll have to hope I'm 50-50. Actually, less, because aside from that SuperBowl I'm lousy at picking them.

12. Pats over the Eagles
Ironically, when they met in Week 2, it was the first ever Week 2 game in which both teams had been shut out in the first week.

My, how teams can change over the course of 17 weeks.
