I just copied yours and moved things around a bit. The bold are still my predictions...

I see the Bengals and Baltimore going either way, but my big suprise is Detroit getting a Wild Card !!!

I didn't want to be a complete homer, but if the Bengals make it to the Super Bowl, they will win against any team from the NFC !!!

WHODEY !!!

Damn Ox, the niners? That would be sweet redemption... too much of a stretch though.

NE vs. Cincy AFC Championship

NO Saints vs. Dallas NFC Championship

Cincy vs Dallas Championship

Cincy world champs!!!

[BengalszoneBilly]

Damn Ox, the niners?

That's what I was thinking!

[The PatternMaster]

Cincy world champs!!!

Wouldn't we have to beat Casey Bramlet and the Hamburg SeaDevils to truly hold that title?

Would be nice, wouldn't it?

A few thoughts which will likely turn out to be completely wrong...

...I think you're right that two NFC playoff teams will come out of the western division. But Seattle won't be one of them.

...I think the Giants or Cowboys make it in in place of Carolina. NO will win that division.

...In the AFC, are you predicting that KC will somehow lose more than 16 games? That's the only way I see them finishing behind Oakland. I think Jax stays right behind Indy as well.

...I don't like Denver this year. I think Balti is good for one last run at the playoffs...and the Jets are a real wild card IMHO. They may really bust out this season, or just turn to crap.

[combatbengal]

I predict Cincy as #1 with the Ravens giving us a run for our money. Clowns are out of it. No QB!, Pit will put up a fight but not sure how they will do with new leadership. Can't wait!

Well 711,

I just don't know what I was thinking posting my ridiculous predictions on this season.

You're right, da Jets could possibly NOT finish in the basement, da Titans could possibly NOT make it to the post season, and da Raiders could possibly manage to NOT have perfect season of 0-16 yet still finish behind KC, but what the hell do I know?

Welcome aboard brother.

[GapControl]

Well, I am gonna go with some sleeper picks... Arizona and Tampa Bay. I think both those teams are going to make the playoffs, surpassing San Fran and Carolina.

Super bowl... hmm.... ok Bengals vs. New Orleans!

Brian Simmons and Kase in the classic, "Bengals you gave up on me too soon!" championship matchup! The world will tune in! ;-)

[bengal4life]

My Super bowl pick is Bengals Vs. Ditka. Bengals win by 1.

I'm not saying I agree with Ox... but who would have thought that N.O. would have been as good as they were last year? SF will have a chance to have one hell of an offense, and in the NFC that could easily be enough to make it to the Super Bowl.

I thought it would be interesting to bring up an old posting from June to see if any of you guys want to change your predictions since June.

[GapControl]

I am going to change my prediction to New England in the Superbowl versus New Orleans. As for the Bengals, we will lose in the second round of the playoffs. Probably to San Diego or some other high powered offense, like New England.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

I'm shocked to see every poster here who posted a prediction, had the Bengals' winning the division and at least going to the Championship game.

Shocked.

A very interesting and enlightening poll thread I must say, I could have never predicted such an outcome.

[HoosierCat]

I stand by my prediction that if the super bowl is bengals vs. ditka, the bengals only win if it's mini-ditka.

Ditka could drive the team bus to victory at the Indy 500,
