| You picked the Steelers because they're your favourite team, jack. I love my Packers, but I'm not blind to their current defensive struggles. Actually the Steelers are a decent pick.
In the NFC I'm gonna go with Tampa Bay to make the Super Bowl again. Today's parity generally goes against repeat champs, but I can see the Bucs getting even better as they get more accustomed to Jon Gruden's coaching/gameplan. My sleeper pick in the NFC is Minnesota.
In the AFC I like Miami. I think their defense could challenge Tampa's this year, that's how incredibly sick it is. If they can get it together, they will be the best ball-control team in a long time. Jason Taylor, Adewale Ogunleye, Zach Thomas, Junior Seau, Sam Madison, Pat Surtain, Brock Marion, Sammy Knight, Jamar Fletcher -- that defense will keep Ricky Williams on the field for a loooong time. My sleeper is Indy, but they need a good year from Edge. |
