    Notes: Preseason mags pick Panthers to win Super Bowl; Fiedler ponders Bucs

    By Skip Wood, USA TODAY
    One would think the Carolina Panthers would be flattered about the raves they're receiving from five of the more established NFL preseason magazines that already have their picks in place.

    After all, all five have the Panthers reaching the Super Bowl, and three have them winning it.

    But based on last season's Roman numeral picks from the Big Five, perhaps Carolina should be wary.

    Not one publication correctly predicted the Pittsburgh Steelers would beat the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. For that matter, the Steelers were shut out while the Seahawks gained but one nod, albeit in a losing cause.

    Last summer, Athlon had the Baltimore Ravens beating the Philadelphia Eagles; Lindy's, the Kansas City Chiefs beating the St. Louis Rams; Pro Football Weekly, the Indianapolis Colts beating the Eagles; Sporting News, the Denver Broncos defeating the Seattle Seahawks; Street & Smith's, the Eagles beating the Colts.

    This time Carolina squarely is on their mind — and the defending Super Bowl champions are getting the back of their hand. Just one magazine picked the Steelers to return to the Super Bowl.

    So which teams do they think will be meeting in Miami?

    The envelope, please.

    Athlon: Indianapolis defeats Carolina. Lindy's: Carolina defeats Denver. ProFootball Weekly: Carolina defeats Indianapolis. Sporting News: Pittsburgh defeats Carolina. Street & Smith's: Carolina defeats Denver.

    Division winners:

    •Athlon— NFC East (Dallas Cowboys), NFC North (Chicago Bears), NFC South (Panthers), NFC West (Seahawks). AFC East (New England Patriots), AFC North (Steelers), AFC South (Colts), AFC West (Broncos).

    •Lindy's— NFC East (Eagles), NFC North (Bears), NFC South (Panthers), NFC West (Seahawks). AFC East (New England Patriots), AFC North (Steelers), AFC South (Colts), AFC West (Broncos).

    •Pro Football Weekly— NFC East (Washing-ton Redskins), NFC North (Bears), NFC South (Panthers), NFC West (Seahawks). AFC East (Patriots), AFC North (Steelers), AFC South (Colts), AFC West (Broncos).

    •Sporting News— NFC East (Cowboys), NFC North (Bears), NFC South (Panthers), NFC West (Seahawks). AFC East (Patriots), AFC North (Steelers), AFC South (Colts), AFC West (Broncos).

    •Street & Smith's— NFC East (Cowboys), NFC North (Bears), NFC South (Panthers), NFC West (Seahawks). AFC East (Patriots), AFC North (Steelers), AFC South (Colts), AFC West (Broncos).

    I hate stuff like this. All of this would disappear if we go through a rash of injuries like we have gone through.

    Predictions don't mean shit! I don't care to predict who will win the Super Bowl until I see how teams perform halfway through the season.
