Houston has had a pretty good record within the division the last few years but a crappy one against non-division opponents.

that most likely will remain this year cause they draw new England, Minnesota, Denver, and Green Bay outside the division.

AFC South is wide open. I don't see Houston running away with anything.

Tennessee is looking better with that ground game in the preseason. They'll have to run it a lot to, check this out:

The Titans have won just 2 of 27 games when allowing over 14 points in a game the last two seasons, a league worst.

so yeah, they'll have to play keep away with that rush attack.

Jacksonville is mad talented on defense but also pretty young so it will probably not happen right out of the gate. shite usually isn't that simple.

Idk if yall watched that Texans vs Cardinals game yesterday, but that defense looked nasty, forcing 5 turnovers.

If i remember rite, they were the ones who ended Brees' TD streak. No other team was able to hold us to no TDs except for them. That defense got even better at the end of the season. I realy think that they will be a top team this year, at least in the AFC.

I actually think that Osweiler will be a decent QB for them. Lamar Miller will provide them with a pretty good run game.

Pats are always a good team and yes, the Steelers do have one of the best offenses in the league.

oh yeah Houston has a nice pass rush but Osweiler has only made 7 starts so far and this is his 5th year as a pro.

I just don't think you plug him in and then all of a sudden they are a better team. Lamar Miller is a good RB though, I'm sure he'll get run to death.

they were healthy most of the time on defense last year so there is that. An injury here and there would change that. Clowney is always good to miss a few games and Watt had back surgery.. apparently he plans on playing Week 1 so more power to him I guess.

Well, I was rite about those 3 teams being good this season. 3/4 remaining in the AFC.

Let's just hope that my prediction of the Saints adressing some needs on both sides of the ball this offseason and being serious contenders next season also comes true.


An elite player such as JPP, hitting on a great defensive player at pick 11, and signing a top FA Olineman to replace either Strief or Evans and this team will be special. We have the necessary cap space after resigning some of our players back.

Go out and get some good assistants. Brees and Payton want it badly and I believe that next season we will be all in.
