yeah, that was just my worthless opinion, lol...No doubt about it, Cincy will be tough, but man, playing in the AFC alone keeps me (along with my hatred, lol) from picking them to win 12 games. I think 12 is very doable, and it would get them a first round bye in the playoffs. I think New England will win 13 games, and San Diego will win 12, then after that you'll see Cincy and Pittsburgh winning 12 and 11, 10, somewhere around there..I think Cincy will knock off Seattle, but San Fransissysco will be improved. I like Coach Nolan, and he's building that team the right way, through the draft, and they'll be a playoff team IMO..but its gonna be fun, no doubt..

I know what you mean about San Fran. Two years ago I would've thought that game would've been a gimme, but they will be much improved and may win their division. In my 12-4 prediction, I assumed a split with Seattle and SF, but you're right in that Seattle is the more likely Bengal win of the two games.
