The Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins edged out San Diego and New York as their respective conference champions. The road to the championship goes through their home fields.
The breakdown...
NFC East
The Redskins and Giants are strong at the top but the Cowboys and Eagles are looking like the two worst teams in the USAFL. Washington has a tough defense, New York has a powerful offense. Cleveland looks improved by Pittsburgh has taken a huge step back, especially on offense.
1. Washington (13-3)
2. New York Giants (12-4)
3. Cleveland (10-6)
4. Pittsburgh (9-7)
5. Dallas (4-12)
6. Philadelphia (3-13)
NFC Central
This division title is up for grabs. Detroit and Baltimore do not have much offense, Green Bay and San Francisco do not have much defense. This will be bloody all the way.
1. Detroit (10-6)
2. Baltimore (9-7)
3. Green Bay (8-8)
4. San Francisco (8-8)
5. Chicago (6-10)
6. Minnesota (5-11)
AFC East
The Panthers won't have much competition for the division, it's the conference where resistance will be tough. Carolina is a much improved team from last year, New York has regressed. The rest of the division are about the same.
1. Carolina (14-2)
2. Atlanta (9-7)
3. Boston (7-9)
4. Miami (7-9)
5. Buffalo (6-10)
6. New York Jets (4-12)
AFC Central
The Chargers have the edge but look at those Chiefs! Launching from 2-14 last year to 12-4 and a very good chance at a wild card slot, at least...maybe the division? One caveat: they were expected to win 6 last year. Raiders are about the same but the rest of 'em: Broncos, Houston, Cincinnati - big dropoff.
1. San Diego (13-3)
2. Kansas City (12-4)
3. Oakland (11-5)
4. Denver (6-10)
5. Houston (4-12)
6. Cincinnati (4-12)
