| Don't get too excited about EJ Manuel's performance |
- The Miami Dolphin's defense is under-rated, and it should give their iffy offense a chance to win more than I ever expected
- EJ Manuel looked really good against Indianapolis' backups. He showed enough poise to win the Week 1 starting job as a rookie. With that said, he should still struggle like any other rookie QB once the season rolls around
- Wes who? Brady and the Pats will roll on opponents through the air and on the ground this year.
- Mark Sanchez showed why he is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league by throwing a pick-six on the Jets 1st drive of the game
 |
| The Bengals have built a solid D around Geno Atkins |
AFC North
- Pittsburgh needs their running game and pass defense to improve before the season begins.
- Cincinnati has a solid team. The Bengals will play good defense, good enough offense, and have great coaching
- Brandon Weeden looks better than anyone anticipated. If anyone can develop into a solid target opposite Josh Gordon, look out AFC North
- The Ravens should finish the year at .500 or better. They have too much depth and talent all around the roster
 |
| Matt Flynn better not lose his starting job two years in a row |
- The Chiefs better hope Jamal Charles' ankle gets better sooner than later, or they can kiss an 8-8 season goodbye
- The Denver Broncos are still the best team in the division BY FAR
- If Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor both play like they did on Saturday for the rest of the pre-season, Oakland won't win more than 3 games this Fall
- San Diego has an OK quarterback in Phillip Rivers, but a mediocre core of receivers and tailbacks. It will be a very long season for this inexperienced group now that Malcolm Floyd has strained his knee and DX is out for the year
 |
| Chris Johnson is poised for another 1,500 yard season |
AFC South
- Jacksonville might not win a game until MJD rushes for over 100 yards
- The Houston Texans will contend for the Super Bowl out of the AFC. Strong team defensively, and Nuke Hopkins makes them a very dangerous group offensively
- The Colts have a lot of work to do on defense. A LOT
- Tennessee's offense has more talent than I thought. CJ2K, Kenny Britt, Delaney Walker, Nate Washington, Justin Hunter and Kendall Wright give Jake Locker some serious play-making options. I think they will do better than I originally anticipated if these guys can stay healthy
 |
| If Matt Forte can stay healthy, the Bears should be dangerous |
- Detroit, once again, will be the biggest boom or bust team in the division
- Green Bay's Mike McCarthy can't be pleased by losing 17-0 at home, even in the pre-season. Don't read into this game as the Packers' crystal ball for the regular season. It will be the complete opposite
- Chicago must have a big year from Matt Forte and Michael Bush. Marc Trestman's pass-happy offense won't go anywhere without a running game
- Minnesota has something special brewing with Adrian Peterson, Greg Jennings, Cordarrelle Patterson and Kyle Rudolph. Let's hope Christian Ponder can show some accuracy this Fall
NFC East
 |
| Can RGIII beat all odds and have a healthy 2013 campaign? |
- The Giants will make the playoffs this year. I guarantee it
- Dallas has to find a way to play solid defense or they will be fighting for another wild card spot this year
- RGIII is going to get hurt sooner than later. His receiving core is average even with Fred Davis coming back healthy
- As I stated in my article about Chip Kelly's NFL debut, I expect the Eagles to go 7-9 or 8-8 with play-makers LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson. The defense looks bad but expect it to get better over time
 |
| Gerald McCoy might lead the Buc in sacks this Fall |
- Carolina finally has a #3 receiver in Armanti Edwards. Is he going to help Olsen, Smith and LaFell THAT much? We will see...
- We still won't find out if Tampa Bay's pass rush is improved until Week 1 of the regular season
- Atlanta is absolutely loaded on offense, and less than average on defense. Should be an interesting season for the dirty birds
- New Orleans has more depth at the receiver position than you think but their defense is still shaky at best
 |
| Colin Kaepernick is going to set the Fantasy Football world on fire this year |
- Colin Kaepernick is going to have a monster year for the 49ers and should lead them back to the playoffs
- The St. Louis Rams are saving their big plays for the regular season. We will see Tavon Austin in the pre-season but not as much as we would like
- Arizona's defense is going to cause a lot of turnovers this year when Daryl Washington comes back from his 4-game suspension
- Pete Carroll has built a winner in Seattle. His defense will look very vanilla until the season starts...That's when things get hectic for Carolina and other opposing offenses.
