Yesterday we took a look at the NFC. Today it's time to break down the AFC - winners of 7 out of the last 10 Super Bowls and 4 of the last 5. Can the AFC do it again this year? Will the Colts finally get over the hump? What team will come out of nowhere and make the playoffs? Are the Patriots back in championship form? Why does CBS's pregame show suck so much compared to the Fox broadcast? Here we go with the AFC division previews. (2 comments, 2775 words in story) Full Story By Vin, Section NFL
Outside of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, there is no better span on the sporting calendar than the opening weekend of the NFL season. No more guessing how preseason performance really translates into regular season play, no more thinking about who will make the 53 man roster, no more praying that a key player on your team doesn't get hurt in a meaningless game. It's just you, your remote, perhaps a cold brew, and the joy of Christmas in September. And while I appreciate the Thursday night teaser, I'd almost rather the NFL not have gone to that. It's like getting an appetizer and then having to wait 3 hours for the main course to arrive. Just fast forward me to Sunday already! But before we can start week 1, we need the obligatory 2006 NFL predictions. Here it is folks, what you've been waiting for... the official Sportscolumn 2006 NFL Predictions. I have spent all weekend digesting stats, schedules, rosters... and lots of alcohol. Depending on how much you agree with these predictions, is how much of the relative mix of those things went into the picks. I predicted game by game for each of the 17 weeks and came up with the final standings and records of every team in the NFL. We'll kick it off with the NFC.

The annual jaunt to professional football immortality, better known as the Super Bowl, begins in earnest in less than one week. Of the 32 teams in pursuit, two will be forever remembered; one as the glorious victor, the other as their inglorious victim. Who will they be this year? Will it be like last year, where two perennial playoff teams (Steelers, Seahawks) that had come up short finally achieve the immortality? Will it be reminiscent of the 1999 season when two teams came out of nowhere (Titans, Rams) to deliver not only their own immortality, but an immortal game, as well? No one really knows. And, it's good that prediction columns are not immortal (see last year's column). (10 comments, 1773 words in story) Full Story By Vtknowitall, Section College
No real intro, I just want to say that I am a Virginia Tech fan, so nobody jump on me for making a homer pick, because I picked a team to win the National Title that lots of columnists here are fans of. (4 comments, 2852 words in story) Full Story By JDWC, Section MLB
The second half of the Major League Baseball Season is underway, and it's safe to say the first half had its share of surprises. What are the Detroit Tigers doing on top of the A.L. Central? What are the Cleveland Indians doing in fourth place? What are the Atlanta Braves, winners of 14 straight N.L. East titles doing...well...not in first?! Down the stretch, don't expect any less excitement. In fact, with every team in both of the West divisions still in the hunt, the Yankees and Red Sox fighting it out again, and trade deadline deals still to be made, you can expect even more excitement than the first half held. This is how the divisions will play out: (8 comments, 2738 words in story) Full Story All trademarks and copyrights are owned by their respective leagues and associations.
