Pete Prisco does the power rankings for CBS Sportsline's NFL site, and he made a couple of comments that are just outrageously dumb, IMO.
#1) Indianapolis - "If they can, [against the Patriots, Titans , and Packers], go 2-1 in those games they will breathe a sigh of relief." Come on!!! Not that that isn't a tough schedule to start off the season, but "a sigh of relief?"!!!!!!! BS!! They are CLEARLY better than 2 of those 3 teams, and have a good chance at beating the 3rd. I'd say their "expectation" is somewhere around 2.2 wins in their first 3 games. So how can it be a "sigh of relief?"
#2) Seahawks - "They hoped to go 1-1 in their first two games..." This is even worse than the first comment!! There's no way this team hoped to go 1-1 vs. two non-playoff teams to open the season! No way in hell! Granted, he admits that he "was wrong about them," but still. "Hoped" to go 1-1? Come on.
