pre-season football picks

Ya, I know we all have our favorite teams but I thought it might be fun to pick who we realistically think will be in & win the Super Bowl this year.. then check back to see how accurate we were..

I think my fave team the Steelers have a good chance of repeating BUT.. I'm not 100% sure they will..I'm worried about them winning the division with Baltimore being so tough this year.. And I think New England is a power team with Tom BRady healthy.. even tho personally, I've got a feeling he's going to be hurt again.. he seems weaker ( health wise)

So.. with that said my pick for the AFC is the Steelers simply because they looked soooo good in pre-season & with Ben healthy we're always 'in the race'

Now for the NFC... Maybe the Eagles?? making it an all PA Super bowl?? I don't see the Cardinals repeating..yes, they've got Larry Fitzgerald arguably the best running back in the NFL but they don't have a lot of other weapons...


so okay I'll take Steelers & Eagles with the Steelers going for their 7th title.

Well, I have a feeling everyone will pick their home teams! I'm going for Patriots vs Giants, i'm thinking the outcome will be a little different this time though. Pats win in a "thrilla" 38-28

My Bengals all the way (and Disney will also be adding free platinum dining, resort stays, and park tickets for all of 2010)

Now, realistically, As much as it hurts for me to say this, I think the Ravens will come out on top of the AFC. I think the Saints will come out of the NFC. I'll pick the Saints to win the Superbowl.

You know, I've been watching that training camp show on HBO about the Bengals & it's almost painful to see how disorganized they are.. it's really sad.. I caught it last night & during a pre-season game Ochocinco ( or whatever he's calling himself this week) was telling all the cheerleaders as they walked by "call me!" I think Marvin Lewis is a great coach so that's a shame there is no control..

I'm lucky that I don't get HBO so I don't have to watch that. It's bad enough hearing of the problems going on when you live in Cincinnati. One of these days the owner will decide to let go and the coaches can do their jobs, I agree that Lewis is a good coach. He is just not allowed to do his job. As for ochocinco, they should have traded him in a heartbeat when he wanted out. Instead they trade the good receiver Houshmazada (I'm sure I butchered the spelling on that) instead. Ocho is all mouth and no hands. It's painful to watch him drop multiple passes and then celebrate like he won the superbowl when he does catch one.

But I rant. Who knows, maybe they can put together a good season somehow. I'll settle for 8 and 8. (which is really sad when you think about it)

Hey 8 & 8 is better than the Pittsburgh Pirates.. DS informed me this afternoon that we had the worst losing season 10 years in a row for a baseball team.. now that is pitiful..

Thought the Pirates were better than that. I haven't paid much attention to baseball this year. Just looked at the standings, the Reds are right there with your Pirates. At least 2 of 3 of your teams are doing well. The Steelers and Penguins have had good seasons, Both have championships recently. I actually was rooting for the Pens last season since Detroit had knocked out my team (Columbus).

Well, with a new season I guess anything is possible. Cincinnati is due for a decent season sooner or later. Good luck to your Steelers (unless they are playing Cincinnati, of course).
