We know this is the Panthers year to win it all.  But, if by some freak turn of events, we don't win it.  I think the Patriots will.  Think about last year's 11-5 team.  Then you add Fred Taylor, Joey Galloway, Derrick Burgess...and Tom Brady!  What do you think?  The Steelers haven't changed and the Eagles are supposedly better, even though I can't stand them.  Then there are always unknowns such as the Chargers and their claim of LT being on the downside, and their QB who wants an Eli Manning like contract.  The Giants will be tough again, too, but minus Plax and Ward.  Let me know what you think, and then enjoy football every weekend from now until February.
