Superbowl LII Projection, Week 2, Sunday

Carolina over Baltimore

Both conference leaders fell from their perches, and now we've got a brand new matchup projected, Carolina over Baltimore. Still, if I get that right this early in the season, I'll be pretty surprised.

I watched a video today of Dan Dierdorf delivering the news to St. Louis that the Cardinals would be leaving for Arizona. I didn't previously know that he became a sports anchor on one of our local stations right after his career for a few years before Monday Night Football signed him. Anyway, that video led me to video of a similar report in Baltimore when the Colts left town a few years prior. Then I noticed in week 2 it was Cardinals vs Colts. Also in the first 2 weeks was Rams vs Colts and Ravens vs Browns. Then I figured when the Rams were still in St. Louis, the NFL should have scheduled them against the Ravens at the same time the Colts played the Cardinals, just to catch any potentially confused time travelers. But, then I realized due to the way the schedule works, the Rams and Cardinals, both NFC West teams, could play either the AFC South with Indianapolis or the AFC North with Baltimore, but not both in a given year. It was a slow day at work.
