There are 2 things I keep hearing that are beginning to bother me:

	1) The AFC West is the toughest division in football
	2) People making fun of the Cowpies for losing to Detroit

First off, an unbiased analyst would surmise at this point in the season
that the NFC Central is the toughest division, just as Yours Truly predicted
about a month ago (Hmmm, should I include a smiley face here? ).  That means
that Dallas should just be thankful it wasn't blown away for both halves 
of last week's game.
	The Packers haven't played a decent game yet, but have a 1-1 record.
The Vikings (I'll admit I still have a hard time grasping this) look like a
team to be reckoned with.  Chicago, if not already, will be the best team in
the NFL by season's end.   With Steve Young, Tampa Bay will no longer be a
patsy.  Detroit always had talent, now they have a coach as well.

The NFC Central and AFC West are each 7-3 at this point, but the NFC Central
should pull ahead this week.  My forecast follows:

Chicago   ov Minnesota     1-1	Seattle     ov LA Rams        1-0
Detroit   ov Indianapolis  2-1	LA Raiders  ov San Francisco  2-0
Tampa Bay ov New Orleans   3-1	San Diego   ov Cincinnati     3-0
Green Bay ov NY Jets       4-1  Kansas City ls Miami          3-1
				Denver      ls Atlanta        3-2  Sorry, Mike


Well, let's see how it turns out !!!
