NFL Preview, AFC South
Holy crap! It's football in less than a month! You know what that means? That's right! It's time to lose most of my baseball fan readers by doing a whole lot of preview posts! 9 of them, to be exact! With even more exclamation points! ! !!!!!
The AFC South produced last years world Champion and is a very intriguing division this year. Intriguing, however, is not a synonym of good. Of course, all four teams here could make the playoffs in the NFC.
Indianapolis Colts: It's easy to pick the last years Super Bowl winner to win their d
ivision, and I'm all about taking the easy route, so that's what I'm doing. Nothing has really changed with the Colts, as it hasn't for the past 5 years or so. If they can execute, they can do anything they want. That's the key though, they didn't execute when it counted before last year, so I don't think we can necessarily pencil them into the big game yet. We'll go ahead and give them the AFC north crown though.
Tennessee Titans: People have been saying the Titans can't compete since they don't have a defense. Well, that doesn't stop the Colts, does it? The difference is between the wideouts and the offensive scheme, which is less developed than what the Colts boast. They have three running backs that are all right, and the odds of one of them breaking out this season seems pretty good. They should get second pretty easily.
Jacksonville Jaguars: They cut their starting quarterback days before the season started. What? I don't see how they can possibly be successful when the organization is making decisions like that. Their defense is the best in the division though, which really isn't saying a whole lot.
Houston Texans: I've been thinking that the Texans were on the verge of breaking out for some time now, but this offseason they took a few steps back. Never, ever sign an aging running back. It never ends well. They have a few assorted talented players, like Damico Ryans, Dunta Robinson, Andre Johnson, but they won't do much this year.
The Colts are the only playoff team out of this division.
