I think Belichick has done a tremendous job with that team.

So you were picking the Bucs to be 7-3 and a playoff team? Vegas had the Buc over/under for wins this season at 5 1/2 wins. There is a good chance that they win 10 games which comes close to doubling the expected output. Josh Freeman is the QB, not Tom Brady. The schedule has been pretty easy but do you seriously think that the NFC South is the weakest division in football?

The NFC West has been abused by the NFC South all season (9-2, I believe).

Some strength of schedule numbers courtesy of Gary Shelton at the St. Pete Times:

'72 Dolphins were 14-0 in the regular season, 12 of those wins were against teams under .500, 9 of those teams were 5-9 or worse. All we remember is that they were 17-0.

'74 Steelers didn't win a game in the regular season against a team with a winning record, but they won the Super Bowl.....

'84 49ers went 15-1, only 4 of those wins came against teams with winning records.

This year's Jets and Bucs have beaten 7 teams below .500, the Bears, 6, the Falcons and Packers, 5.




You are what your record is, there are only 2 of the 16 games based upon where you finish the previous year. The other 14 games are set years in advance.

Tampa +7.5 @ Baltimore

Flacco has no picks at home. Tampa needs to change that if they want to go 8-3.

NFC West has that locked up. In fact, I think a few divisions are weaker than the NFC South, even with Carolina serving as the anchor.

My brain wasn't working and for a sec I confused them for being in the west.

The bucs have done a good job. This, though, looks to me like one of those teams that pops one year with a weak schedule only to return to being bad the next year. Time will tell.

I realize that brady is a great qb but look what that team has done this year. I think it's an incredible job considering the team totally changed their style of play after the season had already begun and they are winning against the better teams.

I agree that tampa is probably not as good as the record looks. But like Mike said, in the NFL a win is a win and I dont know anyone that thought Tampa would be where they are right now. Winning 7 of 10 NFL games with the team that Morris has is pretty impressive.

Holy crap, how do you not challenge that? What a fat moron.

How can the Giants not be looking for an onside kick?

Hilarious.

Coughlin should go after his special teams coach, not the punter.
