Poll to follow

I'm going with Arizona. Atlanta gets Super Bowl Losers Jinx. Not sure if Oakland is ready.

[Upnorth]

The only 10 I see is Tennessee. Good D, good oline. Weak division

[hoosier]

I dunno about Zona, Carson Palmer seems to be in decline and Fitzgerald is about ready to start collecting social security. Agreed about Atlanta and Oakland, Raiders won a lot of close games last year (8.7 Pythagorean wins) and are due for a regression to the mean. KC 's defense is old and brittle, so even if Tyreek Hill continues to develop they still have problems. I would go out on a limb and pick Philadelphia and their awesome DL, but I think they are going to have QB problems so never mind. That leaves Cleveland.

They win their division but that is about it. Cannot compete with NE, Pittsburgh or even whoever wins the AFC West.

That leaves Cleveland.

Falcons defense was pretty young and raw last year, but was improving fast. That defense will shock some people this year - likely be a top 5 defense. They clearly have the best shot.

Carson Palmer is fragile. He will not last the season.

[mraynrand]

I have an eye on the Vikings too.

[pbmax]

I have an eye on the Vikings too.

Weapons aside, they don't have much offense with that QB.

Then again, I picked the Eagles who might be in the same boat.

[mraynrand]

I heard that the Vikings are going to use a modified raiders logo this year.

[Zool]

I voted Raiders because I think their D will improve and their O will stabilize. They will win 11-12 and with Mack you can win any game in the playoffs.

[mraynrand]

Weapons aside, they don't have much offense with that QB.

Then again, I picked the Eagles who might be in the same boat.

Even with Bridgewater available the offense will still be a patchwork affair.

[Upnorth]

I easily could have picked Oakland but figured if you are going to reach by not picking NE out of the AFC, might as well reach.
Re the vikings, I think their O improves if Cook is half way decent. I am glad the oline will hold them back, as they have a legitimate solid D.

[Cheesehead Craig]

TN. Mariota has a breakout season with over 4k yds passing, runs for another 400 and has 35 TDs. Gets mentioned in the MVP race.

[smuggler]

I think Oakland and Atlanta have the most realistic chances.

[woodbuck27]

I went with the Atlanta Falcons.
