The crazy AFC-North — and AFC-West — are playing with the prognosticators’ brains


Lamar upset the Chiefs' applecart -- in a crazy start to the NFL season


… upsetting those experts!


Looking at the CBS NFL experts’ picks for the Super Bowl reveal one problem: After two weeks, the teams most picked, the Chiefs and the Bills, are 1-1. 


And looking at the NFC North that was supposed to be dominated by the Browns and Ravens reveals that no team is 2-0 … and in the AFC West, who would have thought that the Raiders and Broncos would be leading at 2-0?


It is a crazy start to the NFL season. 


Ravens end Chiefs and Mahones mantra


First, the Chiefs that everyone loves are 1-1, and they could very easily be 0-2 if the Browns had not collapsed in week one. 


And the Bills who looked woeful in week 1 suddenly looked great — albeit against the Dolphins — yesterday. 


And in the NFC, which definitely is weak in many events, the Packers lost to the Bengals in week 1.


Actually, I like this. The experts are no better than the rest of us. This could be an interesting season for a change — and it could be good for fans. 


Now, if only Florida had run a decent 2-point play and then defeated Alabama, the college game would become more interesting, too. 


We shall see.
