NFC South
Atlanta Falcons (13-3)
The Falcons were one of the top teams last season, but got killed in the playoffs by The Packers. I think that loss will only help them get better for this season. They traded up in the draft to get Julio Jones and that was one of the few things they were missing on offense, another quality wide receiver to go along with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez. Matt Ryan has been a consistent quarterback for The Falcons since the day they drafted him all he does is win and that is the most important thing in all of sports! He is 33-13 in his career so far and only 2 losses total at home, 3 if you include the playoffs! The defense is solid and knows how to force turnovers and usually don't make stupid mistakes. I think The Falcons will not only rule their division but also The NFC, watch out for them this season.
New Orleans Saints (10-6)
The best thing about the lockout ending is I don't have to fucking see Drew Brees and the ugly growth on his face quite as much! Get rid of that shit dumbass, although that still won't get rid of the ugly from his stupid face! Anyways back to football heh, as much as I can't stand Drew Brees and his ugly face he is still a good quarterback and as long as he's around The Saints will be competitive. They got rid of that bitch Reggie Bush and upgraded to Mark Ingram through the draft. Running back was the only weakness on offense for The Saints because they didn't have a guy who can pound it through the middle (hehe), now with Ingram back there and picking up Darren Sproles in free agency The Saints should be scoring even more points. Their defense on the other hand is suspect, they lost some guys in the secondary which I think will be their biggest weakness. Up front they're not too bad, but they aren't going to be scaring anybody with their defense this season. The Saints should have a good year and be in contention for the playoffs.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7)
The Bucs were a sleeper team last year, Josh Freeman came out of nowhere and looks to be the future of this team. LeGarrett Blount also busted out and had a good season and will now take over as the go to guy in the backfield. The defense is tough to gain yardage on as well, the defensive line got even better by drafting Gerald McCoy and the secondary keeps it locked down. The major weakness for The Bucs is their receiving core, they don't have that go to #1 guy and until they get that they won't be able to keep up with the top dogs in their division, The Falcons and Saints. The Bucs still have some growing to do and this season will be a lot of that, they will have some good moments, but they will have some bad ones!
Carolina Panthers (2-14)
The Panthers are in rebuilding mode right now. I think by drafting Cam Newton that was definitely a move in the right direction, but they still have multiple spots to fill on the team before they become a contender. Usually having a rookie qb as your starter means it's most likely going to be a rough season especially when there is a new coach taking over. There will be a few veterans on the offense helping him out, Deangelo Williams at running back, Steve Smith if he can stay healthy and picking up Shockey and Greg Olsen at tight end in the off season will all be good for Newton's progress this season. On defense there really isn't much going for them and that's really going to kill them in this division. It's going to be another long season for The Panthers!
AFC South
Houston Texans (10-6)
The Texans are a team that has been headed in the right direction the last couple of seasons, but have fallen short towards the end of the season. I think this year they finally break through. On offense they're solid, they have Andre Johnson who has been making big plays since the day he stepped on the field even when The Texans were garbage! Arian Foster had a break out season last year, but has been having a difficult off season battling hamstring injuries hopefully that doesn't haunt him all season. On defense they love to get at the quarterback and that's all thanks to the defensive end Mario Williams, he has been getting better ever since the day they drafted him and I think he is going to have a defensive MVP type season this year and they also added one of the top rookie defensive ends to help him out on the other side, J.J. Watt. They are stacked at linebacker, the secondary got the help they needed in the off season by signing Johnathan Joseph and Danieal Manning, and they also got a defensive genius as their new coordinator, Wade Philips. He's terrible as a head coach but when it comes to just focusing on the defense he knows what he's doing. I think The Texans will finally get to their first playoff appearance and division title in their franchise history this year!
Indianapolis Colts (9-7)
The Colts are in trouble mostly because of Peyton Manning's neck surgery. We aren't sure if he is going to play in the first game or at what point of the season he will be back. Knowing Manning it won't be long if he misses any time at all, but no team relies on one player like The Colts do Manning. He runs that team, he knows the offense inside and out and old ass Kerry Collins will not be their savior! Go back home Collins NOBODY missed you! Even if Manning does start he's not 100% and I have a feeling this is going to be a slow start to the season for The Colts. On defense they lost a few good players to free agency, which is not going to help them at all! Dwight Freeney is just about the only worthwile guy on that defense, so have fun with that! They might pick up steam towards the end of the season, but I think it'll be too late.
Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11)
There really isn't too much going on for The Jaguars, they did draft Blaine Gabbert who I think at some point will take over at quaterback for them this season. I think the whole David Garrard project is starting to run it's course and they need a change. Maurice Jones- Drew is really all else they have going for them on offense and on defense who knows what's up? I think Jack Del Rio is definitely on the hot seat to possibly lose his job after the season especially if they have another mediocre year. The Jaguars have shown promise at certain times, but also failed hard and really have accomplished nothing under Del Rio, it might be time for them to go in a different direction there too.
Tennessee Titans (4-12)
Who the hell knows what The Titans have been thinking lately? At least they signed Chris Johnson to an extension, that he deserved, and he will be ending his holdout, but other than that The Titans don't have much going for them. On offense the quarterback situation will be new, Matt Hasselbeck signed in the off season and looks to be the starter with the first round pick Jake Locker sitting for now at least. But they have nobody to throw to and with all the time Chris Johnson has missed I have a feeling his season is going to end up like Revis of The Jets from last year, he also held out and missed some time and ended up getting injured throughout the season I see this happening to Chris Johnson not only due to missing practice time, but also the offense is pretty much going be all on him! On defense they're still pretty decent but once again it's going to be a new system with a new coach so who knows how it will look now? I see this being a long season for The Titans.
