Football predictions
It's the time of year every football fan loves. The self-deceiving among us entertain undashed hopes of glory. The true hopefuls cannot wait for the games to count. Every serious fan charts out the expected wins and losses. This is how I think they'll finish in January:
AFC East: New England 13-3, Buffalo 8-8, Miami 7-9, NY Jets 5-11
AFC North: Cincinnati 10-6, Pittsburgh 7-9, Baltimore 6-10, Cleveland 6-10
AFC South: Indianapolis 13-3, Jacksonville 10-6, Tennessee 6-10, Houston 6-10
AFC West: Kansas City 11-5, Denver 9-7, Oakland 6-10, San Diego 5-11
NFC East: Philadelphia 12-4, NY Giants 10-6, Washington 6-10, Dallas 5-11
NFC North: Minnesota 12-4, Green Bay 10-6 (sorry, John), Detroit 7-9, Chicago 4-12
NFC South: Carolina 10-6, Atlanta 9-7, New Orleans 8-8, Tampa Bay 7-9
NFC West: Seattle 11-5, St Louis 7-9, Arizona 6-10, San Francisco 4-12
Super Bowl: Indianapolis 35, Seattle 23
I'd dream of a Buffalo-Tampa Bay SuperBowl, so I could renew some brotherly rivalry, but the odds appear highly against that.
