He goes over some of the good and some of the bad of his Truths column this season. What's cool is that concedes that he did screw up on a lot of his predictions -- but the column over the course of the season definitely smacked of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. Even the biggest dope can predict a third of the winners, you know?

From the article:

Truth: Of all the teams in the NFC, the Washington Redskins are the only team capable of winning the Super Bowl.

After being down on Joe Gibbs early in the season, I have to credit him for getting things together. If the Skins knock off the Eagles, they will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the league -- hotter than the streaking Patriots, also winners of four straight.

Of course, we know the Redskins can play defense. What's been impressive is their offensive explosion the last two weeks -- 35 points in each victory, over the Cowboys and Giants.

The Skins have a good offensive line, three good running backs, a big-play receiver (Santana Moss), an effective tight end (Chris Cooley) and a QB who has thrown 22 touchdowns and just nine interceptions.

Comment: Maybe Al Saunders can fix Washington's mediocre offense.
