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 !!!
