nfl preview... afc

afc west is tough. tougher than people think. but ALWAYS BET AGANIST AARON BROOKS. always. he threw backwards in a game. how does a professional quarterback get so confused as to throw backwards? denver is good, and yes, jake plummer makes a fan grab their tums. and san diego and phil rivers, he's young, he's inexperienced. and he will ride ladainian tomlinson. kansas city has herm edwards. great speeches and still, where's the defense? i hope it's there because larry johnson is the crux of my fantasy team, and he won't run in blowouts. shoot. i'll go broncos 1st, chiefs 2nd, chargers 3rd, raiders... poor art shell.

afc central, i mean north-- also tough. the ravens have a real qb. if they can score a touchdown a game they're a playoff team. that's how bad kyle boller is. the browns will take it on the chin. often. in the cold, in the heat, in domes and on grass. we will cry for charlie frye. ben roethlisberger will look more like a quarterback but is willie parker that good? the defense will kick tail. cincinnati is kind of... great? who ever thought we might say that? i don't love rudi johnson, though. and i think the defense will get better. i call cincinnati 1st, pittsburgh 2nd, ravens 3rd, browns last.

afc south, well, i love david carr. and i will stop right there because everything i say will be biased. i think the texans knock someone off. i think the titans might be embarrassingly bad. the colts will beat the giants. who's the other team? i mean it, who is the other team?? jacksonville. you know what? everything has been very straightforward so this division, i will flip up my prognosticating. colts will come first. they're ready. the texans take second. they won't suck. david carr will go a whole game without tasting turf. he'll be so perturbed he'll start grazing in his backyard. the actionville jaguars might take third. or second. i like matt jones. i liked him in college, that guy has some TALENT. and the defense has some talent too. the titans are no good. 1st colts, 2nd jaguars, texans a close third, and the titans will be playing vince young.

afc east, well, the jets... give them a week to see how bad they are. the bills are really bad, i think, but no one seems to agree. the miami dollfaces are a surprise in the making. put some cash on them. 6 game win streak at the end of the year with gus frerotte. and the patriots... they're such a sure thing i'm putting them 2nd. then again, i don't believe in daunte's knee. so i guess new england patsies 1st, miami 2nd, jets 3rd, bills 4th. jp losman is unconvincing.
