ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

It's weak that this is my blog entry, given that I haven't blogged for two weeks. It's just that 1) I've been doing a lot of writing (the draft of "Somewhere in Between" is now done, and is currently in the hands of my review committee), and 2) football season is less than a week away. So without further ado, here are my predictions for 2003-2004:

NFC North: 4 Packers, Lions, Bears, Vikings
NFC South: 3 Falcons, 5 Bucs, Saints, Panthers
NFC East: 1 Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Redskins
NFC West: 2 49ers, 6 Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals

AFC North: 1 Steelers, Browns, Ravens, Bengals
AFC South: 2 Titans, Colts, Jaguars, Texans
AFC East: 3 Dolphins, 5 Patriots, Bills, Jets
AFC West: 4 Raiders, 6 Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers

Wild-Card Round:
NFC: Packers over Bucs, Falcons over Rams
AFC: Raiders over Patriots, Chiefs over Dolphins

Divisional Playoffs:
NFC: Eagles over Packers, 49ers over Falcons
AFC: Steelers over Chiefs, Raiders over Titans

Championship Games:
NFC: Eagles over 49ers
AFC: Steelers over Raiders

Super Bowl:
Eagles over Steelers, 30-21
