AFC East
New England Patriots - Look great on paper, but the loss of Richard Seymour really hurts.
New York Jets - The addition of Thomas Jones brings New York closer to competing with the Patriots.
Buffalo Bills - Will win some games they shouldn't and lose some games they shouldn't.
Miami Dolphins - An aging defense and quarterback aren't enough to pull this team out of the basement.
AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers - Healthy again, the Steelers will make some noise in the North.
Cincinnati Bengals - Another offseason for Carson Palmer to heal should have him poised for a big year.
Baltimore Ravens - Age is creeping up fast at some very key positions.
Cleveland Browns - The Brady Quinn era will probably start right after the team's bye week.
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts - Lost a lot from their championship team, but still have the most important part.
Tennessee Titans - Vince Young is a star in the making.
Jacksonville Jaguars - With their QB situation, why release Leftwich for nothing?
Houston Texans - On the right track, but still a year away.
AFC West
San Diego Chargers - The Chargers are loaded with talent, but can they win in January?
Oakland Raiders - A fantastic defense and an improved offense will make the Raiders this year's most improved team.
Denver Broncos - Cutler looks promising, but he will experience some growing pains.
Kansas City Chiefs - Average on both sides of the ball isn't going to take the Chiefs far in the West.
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles - Depth in the trenches keeps the Eagles atop the division.
Dallas Cowboys - Loaded with talent, but can Wade Phillips continue what Bill Parcells started?
Washington Redskins - If things go right on defense, the Redskins could be competitive this year.
New York Giants - Defense will be the Giants' downfall this season.
NFC North
Chicago Bears - Clearly the most talented team in the division.
Detroit Lions - Offense should be potent. Defense, not so much.
Green Bay Packers - Stood still during the offseason while the rest of the division got better.
Minnesota Vikings - Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor will face a lot of eight-man fronts this year.
NFC South
New Orleans Saints - Offense should only get better this year.
Carolina Panthers - A healthy squad could challenge the Saints for the division crown.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jeff Garcia just isn't the answer for the Bucs.
Atlanta Falcons - The Falcons season began unraveling all the way back in April.
NFC West
San Francisco 49ers - In a very evenly matched division, each team has the potential to finish at the top or the bottom.
Arizona Cardinals - Look for a huge breakout season for Matt Leinart.
Seattle Seahawks - Must avoid the injury bug this year.
St. Louis Rams - Tons and tons of offense, but no defense.
