I know it may be a bit early to start talking football but OTAs are over and training camp is nearing. The texans are looking much improved and WILL make the playoffs this year. A lot of things have changed this offseason. I hate to say it but jacksonville looks great. Indy has lost some talent - the bears are still over rated. I don't think NE will be anything near as good as they were last year.

Whatever the case, I'm putting the texans down as a wild card spot - probably 2nd place in the AFC south.

All I have is improvement to look forward to. Miami.
I got turned off to the NFL with all the Pats BS though. Time will only tell if I'll get fully back into it or not.

IMO last year's superbowl was one of the best. Seeing the pats get beat by a 10-6 team only inspored me.

You can cheat all you want - A good D line will own you.

SEAHAWKS

Another NFC West title, and I'm sure that they'll have a better showing in the playoffs this year. Alexander is FINALLY gone so the running game can exist now. And Deon Branch will finally have a good year. It's Holmgren's last year, so it's Superbowl or bust.

I betting on the Dolphins!

Im an Eagles fan, so I dont know what to make of this season. We upgraded our secondary, and downgraded our linebackers. Cut Spikes with no replacement, that doesnt make sense. Gaither, Gocong and a couple other candidates for the last LB spot. McNabb is finally 100% and westbrook is a top 3 RB, so we will have a nice offense. I would have liked to see Alexander in a Philly jersey just to help with bwest. I think its going to be just a matter of will we click when we need to? So many games were blown last year on bullshit. We're already in a rebuilding mode and we seem to still be a decent team after the past 8 years. I think we have a nice shot at winning our Division. Philly 1, Dallas 2, Washington 3, Giants 4.

Texans second in the AFC South? Colts 1, Jags 2, Titans 3. Texans wont sniff the playoffs, IMO.

Superbowl Pick: Chargers defeat New Orleans. Id like to see Philly beat New England though.. so thats my sentimental pick.

FUCK YES! I am really happy with how our team is looking. We improved in all the areas that we needed to improve. The only thing I am not very happy with is Josh Brown signing with the Rams. Oh well, I will wait and see this new kicker before I judge.

I fixed it for you, you had it backwards. ;)

I'm not sure how my 49ers will fair.

I just hope Alex Smith will keep his shit together this season.

Alexander wasn't the problem so much as losing Steve Hutchinson to FA

BTW, Josh Brown has been hitting 65 yd FG's in practice for the Rams...

Yeah right. All romo does is boof important situations - plus all of the off field distractions from signing people with personal problems. A classless organization. Dallas would sign mike vick if he came back.

First off, I'm pretty sure the Jags will take the colts place this season. The texans have upgraded EVERY questionmark position. The titans have lost talent - as have the colts. I predict a texans split with the colts and jags - and a sweep of the titans.

I think the texans will have a top rate defense this year. I'm expecting all of you to be surprised.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahaha! the jags will OWN you this year along with the rest of our division (read: strongest division in NFL). we are a juggernaut this year, biaaaach. i mean have you seen our off season moves? btw dallas is still the class of their division. oh and the chargers beatin NO is a horrible superbowl pick.

Does no one learn from the Pats that shit talking doesn't guarantee a win.
Sorry, had to throw that one in there.
