The Ravens are the most complete team in the division, lots of weapons all over the place. Pittsburgh has a legit
offense but Im awfully worried about that LeBeau-less D. This is the year it all falls apart in Cinci, Dalton is going to
be this seasons Jay Cutler. Lastly the Browns are a joke: Might as well tank and go after Connor Cook/Christian
Hackenburg in next years draft but even that wont help.

Ive been real high on Luck for a while and I feel like this is the year he breaks through now that he has a solid
ground game to complement him. If the Texans can go 9-7 with 4 QBs and Clowney out, just imagine how good
theyll be with Clowney healthy and a full season of the uber-talented Ryan Mallett. Blake Bortles finally has a
security blanket (Julius Thomas) but not much else, the Jags need more seasoning before making any noise. The
cupboard is still bare in Tennessee even with Mariota at the helm, so expect a Manning 98-like year for him due of
that.

With Tom Bradys suspension upheld its still anyones game. That being said, the Patriots will be fine after Brady
comes back with an easy schedule down the stretch. Assuming they have stable QB play, the Bills will be
dangerous as I feel their 16 season playoff drought will end. Miami looks talented but they will need a stellar year
out of Tannehill in order to breakthrough. The Jets defense is without a doubt a top 5 unit, but Geno Smiths/Ryan
Fitzpatricks struggles will be the death of this team.

I like Kansas Citys chances this year, especially with Jeremy Maclin on board and with their terrorizing front 7. This
could be the most talented team in the Mile High in recent memory (which is saying a lot), but Im awfully worried
about Mannings arm in what could be his final season. The Chargers are going to regress and will be clouted with
the inevitable move to LA all season. The Raiders seem more experienced, but wont go anywhere with a lack of a
running game/secondary.

This is Aaron Rodgers best chance at going back to the Super Bowl so far, especially with all his offensive weapons
coming back. Another year of Teddy Bridgewater plus AP returning with a vengeance and now the Vikings look
dangerous: this is going to be an interesting team to watch. Meanwhile in Motown the Lions regressed, losing
Ndamukong Suh among others, but seem like a team that could go in any direction. Da Bears are in for a long
season with a shaky defense and a spiraling Jay Cutler.

With Drew Brees and Sean Payton around the Saints will always be in contention, the secondary looks nice and CJ
Spiller adds another dimension into the offense. With Dan Quinn coming in from Seattle, there will be
improvement in Atlanta but until the O-line gets better things will stay the same. Cam Newton/Luke
Kuechly/Kelvin Benjamin are studs, but everything else about the Panthers worries me imo. In Tampa, 1st overall
pick Jameis Winston is an improvement, but the Bucs are still a few years away from being a serious threat.

The Giants are the under the radar team this season, and if the run game develops the offense will be interesting
as OBJ only gets better. Losing DeMarco Murray will hurt, but expect the Cowboys to still be a threat especially if
the raw but talented defense meshes together. Its hard to judge Philly with Sam Bradford on board, but having
DeMarco Murray should make life easier for Chip Kelly and crew. The Redskins could potentially hit rock bottom,
especially if RGIII doesnt show any signs of improvement.

Coming off two straight Super Bowl appearances the Seahawks seem poised to make a 3 especially now that
Russell Wilson has Jimmy Graham to throw to. St. Louis has what it takes to make it back to the playoffs for the
first time since 2004 led by their good o/d lines. The Cardinals could return to the playoffs but Im not sold on
Carson Palmers health. In San Francisco its going to be tough for Jim Tomsula to replace Jim Harbaugh, especially
with the lack of talent present at some positions.
