I always do this every year with my Athlon Football Review magazine...writing
in the projected wins and losses. Strangely enough, as my knowledge of football
has grown over the years, my accuracy has gone down. Go figure (!). Anyway,
here are mine, I'm curious what you all are picking.

AFC East
New England Patriots (11-5)
Miami Dolphins (9-7)
Buffalo Bills (7-9)
New York Jets (7-9)

AFC North
Baltimore Ravens (10-6)
Cleveland Browns (8-8)
Cincinnati Bengals (8-8)
Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8)

AFC South
Tennessee Titans (8-8)
Houston Texans (6-10)
Indianapolis Colts (5-11)
Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11)

AFC West
San Diego Chargers (10-6)
Oakland Raiders (10-6)
Denver Broncos (9-7)
Kansas City Chiefs (9-7)

Wild Cards: Oakland, Miami

Seattle Seahawks (10-6)
St. Louis Rams (10-6)
San Francisco 49ers (6-10)
Arizona Cardinals (2-14)

As for the Dolphins, here's how I fear their schedule might work out:

(WIN) over HOUSTON
(WIN) over depleted New York Jets
(LOSS) to BUFFALO BILLS
(LOSS) to New York Giants as our linebackers can't contain Shockey & Barber
(WIN) at Jacksonville
(WIN) over NEW ENGLAND, ending the Pat's unbeaten streak.
(LOSS) to San Diego Chargers
(WIN) over INDIANAPOLIS
(LOSS) to Tennessee
(WIN) over BALTIMORE in defensive struggle
(LOSS) to WASHINGTON, the first major upset of the year.
(LOSS) to Dallas, as Parcells inexplicably rouses Cowboys to occasion
(LOSS) to New England, as Dolphins are sent reeling.
(WIN) over PHILADELPHIA on Monday as Phins keep playoff hopes alive.
(WIN) over Buffalo on the road in upset.
(WIN) over NEW YORK JETS to make the playoffs as a wildcard.
