Pretty interesting. Only one person picked Washington to even make the playoffs, and there was a guy that picked Houston to go to the Super Bowl.

A couple of writers picked the Jets to win their division even though Namath was lost for a couple of months. Yes, the defense was good in 1970 but they had lost Biggs on defense and Sauer and Snell on offense.
