I have only heard of Pro football weekly on that list. They picked us to win the division too. I disagree with their indi call.

ArtMonkDrillz · 06-23-2006, 08:48 AM

The Sporting News really thinks Pitt can repeat? Did they also think the ravens would repeat a few years ago?

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-23-2006, 08:48 AM

Surprise, surprise.

FRPLG · 06-23-2006, 08:52 AM

I'd rather be underestimated.

BigSKINBauer · 06-23-2006, 08:56 AM

What I find interesting is that every division except for the nfc BEAST is really easy to call. I mean, there is no variation in picks for any of those divisions by any of the mags.

NFC North: I think Bears are going to win this clearly. Maybe the vikings might give them a run for their money but it really belongs to the bears

West: Seahawks, maybe arizona but come'on its arizona

South: Carolina but Tampa is not to far behind.

AFC North: SB champs, steelers. Bengals will be good though

South: Indi, i don't see anything that will push jax over them

West: Really great division but the cheifs are going to fall. Broncos are going to be everyone's favorite. Chargers can be great but the broncos are really good.

North: Who else but Gods gift to man, the dynasty themselves and belichick.

All have a clear favorite and most just have a close second but no one is picking those seconds. The NFC east is the most diverse and competitive division in the league. We are the light in the NFL. We are what they should promote. BEAST.

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-23-2006, 08:58 AM

I say the Fins knock off the Pats in the AFC.

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-23-2006, 08:58 AM

The Dolphins aren't my trendy favorite, I just think they will be that much improved and the Patriots will be that much worse.

Contact57 · 06-23-2006, 09:04 AM

I just wanna watch football. The skins are gonna have a bumpy ride, but the D will carry us through. NFC Championship game at least.
Seahawks,Cowboys,Bears...........doesn't matter.

At least we are in the hunt.

TheMalcolmConnection · 06-23-2006, 09:06 AM

I have this feeling that if we play the Panthers in the NFC Championship game, we'd make the Super Bowl. I really am worried about the Seahawks.

BrudLee · 06-23-2006, 09:37 AM

I want to go to the Lindy's office and party with those guys. Philadelphia? Outrageous!

MonkManiac · 06-23-2006, 09:40 AM

How many years now have the media been all over Carolina's jock?!?!? Every one of them here has the Panthers in the Super Bowl. Seems like a conspiracy.

Monkeydad · 06-23-2006, 10:30 AM

Whoever Lindy's is...

Eagles? If they ever had any credibility, they just lost it. The Eagles are the only team in the NFC East who won't have a shot at the playoffs, let alone a division title.

They must be from Philly...

MTK · 06-23-2006, 10:47 AM

These are probably the biggest 5 in the biz for sports mags.

Lindy's

Athlon's

Pro Football Weekly

Sporting News

Picks are fun and all to make, but I think every magazine on that list will admit that anything can happen in the NFL. Everybody likes to argue over picks fervently, but in the back of our minds we all know that in the end we have no clue what's going to happen.
