King Kamala 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 NBA: The Toronto Raptors will go deep into the playoffs and I think they could win the Eastern Conference. With a healthy Vince Carter and the Raptors finally getting some resemblence of a supporting cast, the Raptors should be able to beat 95% of the Eastern Conference teams. Mind you, this is if Vince Carter stays healthy. So if Vinny doesn't get some kind of freak injury, I think the Raptors could be the sacrificial lamb to the Lakers. NFL: Patriots will be the AFC champs(and therefore will proably win the Superbowl). The Chiefs have been exposed by nearly losing to the Raiders and Chargers. MLB: Even if the Marlins lose Pudge, they'll win 80 games. With Jack McKeon back behind the wheel and most of the young players back next year, it'll be a HUGE shock to me at least if they lose 90+ games. I'm not saying they'll make the playoffs, but next season won't be like 98. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 The Yankees finish 3rd in the AL East next year after they have a bad run of injuries and no young players that anyone wants to trade for replacements. The Red Sox win the divison and the Jays could win the Wild Card or at least come close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying they'll make the playoffs, but next season won't be like 98. '98 was a unique scenario, and I don't think the comparison is apt. I DO think they'll win around 80 games, and people will be surprised at the drop off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 NFL: Patriots will be the AFC champs(and therefore will proably win the Superbowl). The Chiefs have been exposed by nearly losing to the Raiders and Chargers. Way to go out on a limb there. Maybe if you picked the Bengals, you could consider it a bold pick. I don't think anything major will happen in the NHL, NBA or NFL this year, but I will make one about MLB. Steinbrenner's replacements for Clemens, Wells and the soon to leave Pettite don't live up to the hype. The Yanks finish third in the East (behind Toronto and the WS Champion Red Sox) and Georgie goes on a rampage next off-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 -Hmmm interesting topic...well I already said in the offseason thread that I don't think the Yankees won't win another World Series this decade but I don't know how bold that is. -Barry Bonds will come in to Spring Training 20-30 lbs. lighter and will miss half the season due to injuries and hit less than 20 homeruns. -The A's will only win 88 games this year but still win the A.L. West. -The only players that are suspended for steroid use will conveniently be non-star players on small market teams. Okay not really bold there. -The heir apparant to Bud Selig will not be Sandy Alderson but Giants' majority owner Peter Magowan. -Before the decade is over the Arizona Cardinals will win a Super Bowl. -The 49ers will not reach the playoffs for another 10 years. -Michael Vick's career will be plauged by injuries and he'll never lead the Falcons to another playoff victory.

Sooner or later they'll just say fuck it and give up trying, if they haven't already. I also hope they can break Dallas' 93/94 home losing streak of 19 games, only 8 more to tie it.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted December 6, 2003 The Devil Rays will make the playoffs as the Wild Card in the next 10 seasons. That's something I'd lay large sums of money on being wrong. Their biggest problem is not necessarly becoming the best second place team, but A second place team. New York or Boston will have an issue with that. I don't necessarily see either team winning a world series (Disgraceful) But I DO see them getting into the baseball version of an arms race with their off season moves and holding a stranglehold on the top of the division (flipping back and forth) for a while.

Guest TheGregWitul Report post Posted December 6, 2003 NFL: Dallas fails to make the playoffs, and Carolina is knocked off in the first round (If they finish with enough wins to get the first week bye, then they end up losing the next week.). New England goes on to win the Super Bowl, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles by six points. The following season, the Pats acquire Keyshawn Johnson and finish 9-7. The Buccaneers finish 12-4 and win the Super Bowl..... College Football: What is considered an upest, USC defeats OU in the Championship by fourteen points... NBA: With all the hype set on Lebron and the Lakers, fans and media alike are shocked to see the Lakers lose to Sacramento in the playoffs. The Kings go on to defeat the Pistons in seven games to capture their first NBA title. The Spurs lose in the first round of the playoffs, and the Jazz and Nuggets each finish with better overall records than the Trailblazers and T'Wolves..... j.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 It's not just who OU's beaten..it's the way they've done it. They've proven with there defense and offense that they are very good. The quality of the team does matter but you can tell by watching the way they pull things off that they are THAT good. But I give up. I bet if they won the Big XII and then put down USC very handedly people would still find something to denounce them with. "Oh well...they didn't face very good teams. They had it to easy. They didn't prove anything!" Yes because nothing good can come out of Oklahoma or something..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
