I really don't care about who wins what divisions.
Jets Pats Steelers Ravens / Eagles Falcons Packers
Those are the only teams that have a shot in hell of winning the super bowl.
7 Teams is still a pretty fun NFL season though
Ravens are the darkhorse in the bunch as it stands. Chargers are just weak everywhere. The Ravens are resilient and find ways to win games. The Chargers just squander opportunities and are one of the worst playoff teams this decade.
Rivers is a beast. Gates is good but I'd bet money he misses at least a game or reduced play time due to injury. Besides Floyd the recievers aren't going to be enough just like last year.
Ryan mathews is a joke. Failed his conditioning test and shows zero signs he can take over the rushing role and Tolbert is a 3rd down/goaline back not a workhorse to carry the rushing game.
Come on be real. Vikings stand no chance. Vikings will be the worst in their division and I'd bet money on that. McNabb is done. Sidney Rice is gone, so Shancoe is gonna carry the passing game? Yea right. Donovan is past his prime and was a desperate answer at the QB position. He struggled with one of the best QB Head caoches in the league. The D-line their former strong point is aging and I'd be suprised to see the production they have had recently. AP Can't do it on his own.
I like the other picks but Chiefs? For real? Chargers are clearly better than the chiefs. Their passing game will be top 5 in the league. Floyd, Jackson, Gates, are undeniable supreme and Rivers was the best passer in the game last year with more limited options. Their run game is weak but no way can the special teams be nearly as bad as they were last year. Impossible.
Texans in WC? For real? No love for the Jets? Texans have an awesome offense for sure. But they didnt do nearly enough to address the secondary flaws. They will still be bottom 3rd if not bottom 4 in pass defense again this year. In additon I see Foster's production diminish now that there is more film of him.
Due to the lack of pracitce it is clear the supreme teams from last year will once again rise to the top.
Yeah Sproles is gone but I don't think the run game will be that much worse. I trust Tolbert, Mathews is garbage but I hope he proves me wrong. Chargers will be fine without a dominating run game. What I mean by poor special teams is not their return game. I mean they had 4 blocked punts and gave up 3 kickoffs for a touchdown plus numerous big returns. Those sloppy special teams plays early in the year cost them their season.
Chiefs will have a dominating run game but they arent going to be all that impressive, their passing game is really limited to just Dwayne Bowe and their defense is hardly something to brag about. Reminds me of what Carolina used to be and they didnt exactly rule the NFL.
