you mean this? 8 home teams times 12 games? Not too many teams get 12 home games. I'm sure the NFL would like it if the Patriots did. I'm not sure why you pick 8 home teams. "Clarify" is derived from the word "clear". "Stupify" is what your post did. I think you know the word from which that is derived.

I was being facetious about 14 and 2/3rds years to help prove a point.

96 games? Hoops plays 80 or 82 and hockey plays the other amount Baseball play 162 NFL plays 16 16 * 6 = 96. I don't care about the last 6 years, just this year. I don't know why anyone would want to argue about 96. It makes no sense at all. Maybe I'll argue like you guys. Duke Preston stinks and Roy Williams is great so the NFC is better. There, are you happy now?

OMFG how many times do I have to say that this thread is about THIS YEAR ONLY and about the CONFERENCES AS A WHOLE, not any individual team. I could argue like that against the guy who said Denver would be a contender in the NFC but they went 1-3 versus NFC teams. I won't do it because this is about the WHOLE conference. That's why I named the thread what I did. Look, over the last 14 and two-thirds years I think the AFC is better ok? Geez, why is everyone so sensitive about the AFC?

His post would be perfect if we were talking about 6 years but we're not. Start your own thread about the last 6 years if you want but I won't argue that. Players move around too much for it to make any sense.

Why 96 games? Don't make this like the thread that said Losman would get better in his 17th game. 96 games is 6 years. So over the last 6 years the conferences are even. Great. I'm just talking about this year. There is so much player turnover I don't think you can realistically go beyond 1 year in any analysis.

Maybe you're right. Easier games =more losses. Look, I like the Bills and thus the AFC as much as anyone. I wish they were better than the NFC but they're not. I am being objective. The NFC teams combined for more losses than wins. Saying Jeff Garcia stinks so the AFC is better makes no sense at all. I never said the NFC is better because of Duke Preston. And don't start with the "this team would beat that team in the Super Bowl" stuff. I'm discussing the conferences as a whole, not individual teams.

The NFC sucks but they are under 500? That makes no sense. They play almost all of their games against tough opponents and that is why they are under 500. The AFC plays against easy teams 12 times. That's why they are over 500. I am a Bills fan like all of us but I am being objective. You are being subjective. Tougher games = more losses. That's why the NFC was under 500.

75% of the games have nothing to do with the NFC being under 500 but 25% of the games are the cause? Run those keys over your car because your paint is safe, but keep your fingernails away. The NFC is under 500 because they play more NFC teams. This does not prove the conference is better but it goes a long way.

You can pick and choose stats anytime you want. It is still a small percentage of the games. Conference records are used as tiebreakers and since the NFC was so tough and had close races, teams may have focused on this and overlooked games against AFC opposition.

I'm not talking about individual teams. I picked Baltimore to win in another thread. I'm talking about the AFC vs NFC as conferences.

Let me get this straight: The NFC teams were under 500 overall. You attribute this to the 25% of games they played versus AFC teams??????? What about the 75% of games they played against NFC teams? To me that is the main reason they were under 500 as a whole. This pretty much means the NFC was tougher. What you're saying is like running your fingernails over a car and then keying it and then saying your fingernails caused the scratches. I'm calling the key the culprit.

I can buy number 3. I don't agree but understand your reasoning. The other 2 make no sense, especially number 2. Of course and 8-8 team might make the playoffs in the NFC because all year they had to play a tougher schedule with 12 games against NFC squads. It was much harder to win 10 games in the NFC. AFC teams got a softer schedule so they won more games.

I am getting to the point of anger at reading article after article taking as fact that the AFC is better than the NFC. I watch a lot of football and I see the NFC overall as slightly better than the AFC. It is close, but top to bottom the NFC is better. I have no problem if someone has a difference of opinion but I am perturbed at the reasoning in the articles of the football "experts". Over and over again they state that AFC teams have a better W-L record. What does that prove? Each team plays 12 games within their own conference and only 4 against the other conference. OF COURSE AFC teams would have better records. The get to play teams from the slightly weaker AFC 75% of the time. The NFC teams by contrast have 75% of their games against the tougher teams. What are these geniuses thinking? How can they go by W-L records? There are not level schedules. Maybe these football reporters should actually watch some games and form their own opinions.

Here are my picks. I am not as sure as I was with the Cardinals because there is no one in the NFL as well managed and strategized. Please do not bet money on my procrastinations because I have not spent the right amount of time to be sure. I will go with the Ravens winning the Super Bowl over either the Saints or Seahawks. The NFC is a mess. The Ravens need McNair to stay healthy and to not make too many mistakes.

I'm not sure, but if there is a mailbox box in the way step one involves some smashin.

Well, you know what they say......

Done. You're one step closer to earning that light saver. Not close, but closer.

I already started a thread about this.

Ranked #1 in ESPn power ramkings. Sorry, no link.

Although I know nothing about this particular initiative, I do know a lot about prescription information. Your post displays a massive amount of ignorance on your part. If you develop an open mind, which would of course first involve developing a mind of any variety, please check back and I can fill you in. Until then, stop commenting on this topic. In the long run you'll be ashamed of how dumb you look.

I picked the World Series dead nuts on at the beginning of the playoffs. I'll take a look and see what I think about the Super Bowl. The Colts talk around here has been crazy. It is like they think that Manning can stop the run. Maybe Harrison will bulk up but I doubt it.

"Pray" is the word you're looking for re: NBC. "Prey" is what happens to 14 year olds in Canada.

In case none of you guys noticed, the Lions beat the Cowboys in their own house the other day. This may indicate that they've turned the corner.

I also read somewhere that if we won our last 14 we would have sewn up homefield through the playoffs.
