American Football Conference“ 12-4. Got better than last year. Good draft, and they still have tom Brady and Bill Bellicik. They have a TE Factory going on, and improved their defense through the draft. Division is not that great. My fave to represent AFC again. „ - 2
American Football Conference“ 9-7. Improved by adding Williams on Defense. They have play makers on offense with RB Fred Jackson and WR Stevie Johnson. They go as far as Ryan Fitzpatrick takes them. „ - 3
American Football Conference“ 7-9. Sorry this team has no offense. Tim Tebow will put fans in the stands, but it's Sanchez team to lose. Good defense, but doesn't scare anyone on offense. „ - 4
American Football Conference“ 6-10. This team could surprise people if they get consistent QB play. Good defense. „ - 5
National Football Conference“ 11-5. Until they are dethroned they are the SB Champs. Brutal schedule. Good draft and rookie RB Wilson and WR Randle must replace Jacobs and Manningham. Best front 4 in football. DE JPP may be the best defensive player in NFL by season's end. Forget the overall rankings. NYG finished season beating best offensive teams in football. Don't forget after their 2007 SB win, they started 11-1 until someone decided to play Jesse James. Go Big Blue. „ - 6
National Football Conference“ 10-6. Games are not won on paper. If so, Philly would've gone 16-0. Yes they have maybe the best talent in the NFC, but can Vick stay healthy. Will the defense lead the league in sacks again? Can be a SB contender or a pretender. Makes playoffs!!! „ - 7 National Football Conference“ 9-7. Enough with these Cowboy fans promoting this team as the best in football. Too many questions. Will the running game stay healthy. Can Dez Bryant keep his head in the game. Will Romo become the leader everyone says he is, but has yet to prove. „
- 8 National Football Conference“ 6-10. They beat my Gmen twice last year, and have an exciting rookie QB in RGIII, but this is still a rebuilding team. RGIII is gonna have some bad times, but this team is heading in the right direction. They play in a tough div, so can't expect too much. „
- 9 American Football Conference“ 11-5. Flacco has to back up his words ala Eli. Defense is gonna miss Struggs, and many players are getting old. Ray Rice can carry this team, but WR's need to step up. Can make SB, must win close games. I see them winning 1 playoff game and then done. „
- 10 American Football Conference“ 10-6. Had a GREAT Draft!!! Two drafts in a row, Dalton to Green can be a terrific QB/WR Tandem for many years. Defense is top 10, and they have a lot of good young players. Brought in Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis to run ball, and they can be dangerous. Must beat Pitt and Bal though, went 0-4 last yr against them. Playoff team. 1 and done. „
- 11 American Football Conference“ 9-7. Pitt can be a playoff team, but I see them getting older on defense, and Big Ben takes too many shot back there. Can never count out Pitt, because they are a class org. But I don't think they will make playoffs. If running game is solid, and secondary can improve, maybe they can make some noise. „
- 12 American Football Conference“ 6-10. This is a team that can surprise people. Naming Wheedon starting QB was the right move. He is 28 though as a rookie. Trent Richardson already has issues, and they let Peyton Hillis go to KC. Good young team, but still a year or two away. „
- 13 National Football Conference“ 11-5. Need to improve on defense. Will be challenged in own div by Chi and Det. Need running game to take pressure off Rodgers and Starks has to be the man. Will win div and can make it to SB. „
- 14 National Football Conference“ 10-6. Playoff team. They were 7-3 before Cutler went down. They added Michael Bush and Brandon Marshall. Resigned Forte and if Cutler stays healthy, and def stays solid, this is a dangerous team. Playoff bound!!! „
- 15 National Football Conference“ 9-7. Team is an enigma right now. So many off the field problems since January. Can team come together. Stafford had an incredible year, but can he stay healthy. Megatron is the best WR on the planet. Needs a running game and players to act mature. Can make playoffs, but I think they miss out, barely. „
- 16 National Football Conference“ 5-11. Team is moving in the right direction, and they seemed dedicated to Ponder as their QB of the future. RB Adrian Petersen and DE Allen are studs, but they have too many holes to fill. „
- 17 American Football Conference“ 11-5. I think this team will ascend into the AFC Championship game..if. If Schaub stays healthy and the can get solid WR play from Jones and a full year from Andre Johnson. Arian Foster is a beast and they have a great running game. Hou had the 2nd rated def last yr, but lost Williams and Demarco. Team is talented, well coached and won their first playoff game last year. Wouldn't surprise me if they made it to the SB. Plus its a weak div. „
- 18 American Football Conference“ 7-9. did anyone notice that Ten was in playoff hunt late into the yr. QB Hasselback is getting older, RB Johnson is good, and must improve his per yd avg from last year. Young team with lots of questions. Mike Munchak is a good coach and this team will fight. No playoffs yet „
- 19 American Football Conference“ 5-11. Team isn't as bad as most people think. If Andrew Luck plays like the hype, this team will be better than expected. Tough to come in and replace a legend. Weak division helps a little, but not enough weapons for Luck to throw too, and running game is suspect. Hell Peyton went 3-13 his first year. The rest is history. „
- 20 American Football Conference“ 5-11. This may be the worst team in the NFL. Young QB, unhappy RB in MJD and no dominant players on either side of ball. MJD is top 5 RB, and Mercedes Lewis is good TE, but too young to contend just yet. No playoffs „
- 21 National Football Conference“ 11-5. Matt Ryan has one of the best REGULAR Season records of any QB in their first 5 yrs, but cannot win a playoff game. Team is loaded on offense with WR's Roddy White and Julio Jones, plus RB Michael Turner and TE Gonzalez, but defense must step up. Div is getting tougher and CAR and TB are no longer pushovers. Playoffs, 1 and done. „
- 22 National Football Conference“ 10-6? Hard to predict this team. They have talent and one of the best QB's in football in Drew Brees. But the loss of head coach Sean Payton and the bountygate image may prove too much to overcome. They are still a playoff team, and can be very scary. Miss Playoffs. (NFC is too deep this year.) „
- 23 National Football Conference“ 8-8. Team will be better with Cam Newton getting some experience. Need WR's to take pressure off Smith. Good RB tandem, and improving defense. This team can be either a playoff team or one that struggles. I see them as .500. „
- 24 National Football Conference“ 7-9. They picked up some good players in both FA and draft. Adding WR Vincent Jackson and RT from NO was big. Had a solid draft and new coaching squad. Shiano turned Rutgers around, but has no NFL experience. No playoffs, but is one of my sleepers. „
- 25 American Football Conference“ 11-5. Yes KC. They lost so many players to injury, yet still managed to be in hunt for div until final week. RB Jamaal Chalres is back, and they added Peyton Hillis. Have good young WRs in Bowe and Baldwin. TE was hurt and is back. Good LB's and they Respect Romeo Crennel. Team will make playoffs and win div if QB Matt Cassell plays full year. Playoffs. 1 and done. „
