I did this a couple weeks ago, but here’s an analysis of the NFL season in light of the Shockey and Taylor trades. Volume III will be necessary as soon as Brett Favre becomes a Carolina Panther, Buffalo Bill, or Jon Gruden’s eighteenth quarterback. But for now:
AFC East: New England 11-5; Buffalo 11-5; NY Jets 10-6; Miami 3-13
AFC Central: Cleveland 11-5; Pittsburgh 11-5; Baltimore 6-10; Cincinnati 4-12
AFC South: Indianapolis 13-3; Jacksonville 11-5; Tennessee 8-8; Houston 6-10
AFC West: San Diego 13-3; Oakland 7-9; Kansas City 4-12; Denver 4-12
NFC East: Washington 14-2; Dallas 12-4; NY Giants 11-5; Philadelphia 6-10
NFC North: Minnesota 11-5; Green Bay 9-7; Detroit 6-10; Chicago 2-14
NFC South: New Orleans 15-1; Atlanta 6-10; Carolina 5-11; Tampa Bay 4-12
NFC West: Seattle 14-2; St. Louis; San Francisco 4-12; Arizona 4-12
Playoffs (Wild-card): Buf over CLE; NE over Jax; Giants over WAS; Dal over MIN
(Divisional): SD over Buf; IND over New Eng; NO over Giants; Dal over SEA
(Conference): SD over Ind; Dal over NO
(Super Bowl): SD over Dal
