Who's the consensus favorite heading into next year?

[Jesus Christ 0]

Is it the Giants/Patriots?

 

What say you?

[Eagles Green 34]

I'm sure the Cowboys will be favored to win the NFC.

 

 

 

But once again, the underprepared QB will choke.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Early Vegas line has the Pats at 5/2, Colts at 5-1.

[KSB2424 3,087]

A lot depends on the offseason, but right now:

 

1. Patriots

2. Colts

3. Cowboys

4. Chargers

5. Giants

6. Jags

7. Green Bay

8. Pitt

9. Seattle

10. Cleveland

Gotta go with THE CHAMPS!

[The Moz 69]

If you don't know who in here would ?

 

 

IMO

 

in the AFC :

 

Colts

Pats

Jags

Steelers

 

all contend

 

in the NFC

 

 

Giants are a tier above anyone else.

 

Green bay

Dallas

Carolina - if Delhomme is healthy

 

should contend as well.

 

I have a rematch of the Pats / Giants next season

REDSKINS!

[famousb 11]

Carolina - if Delhomme is healthy

[KSB2424 3,087]

REDSKINS!

Jim Fassel is the better choice. YWIA

[The Moz 69]

i just found:

Pats 5/2

DAL 7-1

Indy 8-1

SD 8-1

NYG 12-1

 

 

I would put a 100 on NYG at 12 - 1 !

 

NYG has everyone back pretty much on a team that looks like it just gets better !

[Jarvis Basnight 119]

I've got this crazy feeling that next year is the year SD puts it all together.

[KSB2424 3,087]

How many teams have won back to back Superbowls in the history of the world?

[Little Big Head 6]

Im going with the Pats

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

The MGM Grand in Vegas had:

Pats: 5/2

Colts: 5/1

Dallas: 6/1

GB: 6/1

SD: 7/1

Jags: 8/1

Giants: 8/1

[KSB2424 3,087]

Minny is a "Trent Dilfer" away from winning their division.

 

Tampa Bay is a "Chad Johnson" away from winning the Superbowl.

 

Don't sleep on Breezy and Nawlin's!

[surferskin 30]

Jim Fassel is the better choice. YWIA

Lack of Experience + not choosing your coaching staff = Disaster

 

I've always been a big Fassel fan. Dude got to the Superbowl with Kerry freakin' Collins. This year he was scapegoated for the lack of offense from the Ravens, but when Fassel was let go and Billick starting calling plays the offense actually regressed. Also, I always respected the guy when during the middle of the season with the Giants he went to management to ask if he was going to be let go at the end of the season and was told YES they would make a change. Jim still stayed on and finished out the season for his players (the antithesis to Petrino). Shows alot about character right there.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

Is anyone surprised that the Patriots did not open at 18-1?

i don't necessarily agree. it's pretty late in the game and it's not exactly like he'd have the pick of the litter to find his own staff at this point.

i don't think fassel would be worst choice. actually, i thought he was the BEST choice before gibbs decided to shock everyone and come back in 04. i guess, it's a little worrisome that he's about the coldest candidate the last couple of years. besides the redskins, i've never heard his name with any other job openings. while i think that they could certainly do worse than fassel, i just feel the potential of a young coordinator like spags, has a much higher ceiling than fassel. then again, i could be completely wrong.

that would have been crassic...
