NFL 2005/2006
The American Football season starts this week with alot of teams looking as though they are a big show. Here are my %chance ratings and comments for each teams chance of winning the Superbowl.
Indianapolis 13% - lost all 5 preseason games but have the best offence in the competition. Unfortunately they have no defence and that is what is needed to win the Superbowl.
New England 11% - Won 3 of the last 4 superbowls and have the best coach in the league. They have lost their offensive and defensive coordinators along with a couple of players. A great team but will be challenged this year.
Philadelphia 11% - Knocking on the door in recent years but keep getting knocked out in the NFC championship game. Have a good coach and quarter back but Tyrell Owens is the key. If he spits the dummy they are no good things whereas if he has a blinder of a year they are a chance.
Carolina 6% - Made the Superbowl final 2 years ago and just went down. Have a good defence and have picked up some good players. Finished year off well last season after suffering major injuries. Big show odds.
Atlanta 6% - Have the best rushing quarterback in the competition and have a well balanced team and good rookie coach. With the NFC not as strong as the AFC they are a good chance to get to the Superbowl.
Baltimore 5% - Dissapointing last year with their number 1 ranked defence. Their offence does not score enough but on paper they look like a well balanced side. Would need to improve but are a good chance.
Pittsburgh 5% - Big improver last year and their defence and quarterback are hot. Have lost a few players but will be better off with last years playoff experience. Good chance but are drawn in the tough AFC division.
Minnesota 5% - Have a great offence but have tried hard to improve their defence in the off season. Lost Randy Moss but have a good QB and always score alot. One of the better chances in the NFC.
New York Jets 5% - Big improver last year and were unlucky not to go further in the playoffs. Have worked hard on improving their defence and their QB is getting better. A big show this year.
Kansas City 3% - No defence
San Diego 3% - Not for me
Buffalo 3% - Expect a good year
Denver 2% - Undefeated preseason but dont like
Seattle 2% - Not with their coach
St Louis 2% - Terrible defence
Jacksonville 2% - Coach is a moron
Dallas 2% - Great coach and with new QB might go OK
Detroit 2% - Smart coach and big impovers this year i fancy
Cincinatti 2% - They are a good smokie at odds
Washington 1% - With an offence they would be good
Oakland 1% - Think they will have a good year
Green Bay 1% - QB has past his better days
New York Giants 1% - Dont rate them
Arizona 1% - Expect a good year from them
New Orleans 1% - Not a bad side but wont win the SB
Tampa Bay <1% - Not expected to have a good season
Houston <1% - A few years off being decent
Miami <1% - Will improve over next few years
Chicago <1% - Not the worst side in it
Tennessee <1% - Lost the plot in recent years
San Francisco <1% - Hopeless
Cleeveland <1% - Rebuilding a competitive side
