NFL Outlook

Going into the season most fans thought we'd see Indianapolis and New England battle it out for the AFC championship. The NFC with all its star power looked as if the Cowboys were going to the super bowl.








When Tom Brady's knee crumbled in the first game of the season as he was throwing the ball so did New England's chances of winning the AFC. Even with mastermind coach Bill Belichick calling the shots, star running back Laurency Maroney and dirtiest, hardest hitting safety Rodney Harrison are hobbled by injuries. It looks like all the coaching in the world can't get you to the Superbowl.

For the Idianapolis Colts, the whole season (to this point) has been a mediocre. With superstar quarterback Peyton Manning having trouble with his knee and the defense not playing well, Colts fans must be scratching their heads.



















So who is the AFC's Frontrunner? Well it's not the Chargers, Colts, Jaguars, Broncos, Steelers (well maybe) or any other usual suspects. Which team is undeafeated and winning games the old fashioned way; with great defense and few mistakes. That's right the only undefeated team in the NFL is that "Music City Miracle Team" with that same coach.

Now, the NFC looks like an easy call to me. Can you say repeat? The Giants defense is dominating, their running back is a freight train, the quarterback is accurate and has great wideouts. And, is their a great coach in New York? I don't think so....

Conclusion: While one league is struggling with its identity, the other has a clear cut favorite and it is talent that is winning out. Or, is it coaching?
