Re: 1982 NFL season - expectations as well as retrospect

Re: What NFL season had the least clear favorite in the preseason?

1999 Elway’s retirement made 3peat talk for DEN impossible The Falcons seemed to have “yeah but” one hit wonder vibes Safe to say the Rams were the longest of longshots This was ESPN's predictions for 1999 in form of power rankings; https://a.espncdn.com/nfl/preview99/rankings.html They had Jackson...
