Originally posted by dwatersYou might want to edit your playoff matchups, as they don't make much sense. So you think this will be the breakout year for the Texans?
I had to pick someone, this felt like the process of elimination. The AFC West appears terrible beyond San Diego, I think the Steelers will have the traditional Super Bowl falloff, and I think the Dolphins and Colts will fall off a little bit this year. I want to say the Browns will do better than most seem to think, but I decided to go with the Bills and Texans instead.

Green Bay is the new Cardinals pick. Patriots are not what they used to be and should go down on the scheduling committee on how bad Miami's first four games are to virtually eliminate them. Ravens lost the heart and soul with Rex Ryan and if Palmer is healthy then the Bengals will take their spot. Steelers have an easy road compared to last year and if they can survive with a healthy Ben then its a cake walk.

The Falcons offense is loaded all over, IMO. And their D is a bit underrated. It will all come together for Matt Ryan & company this year. And ironically enough, they will get to steamroll over their former QB Vick and the Eagles on their way to the titles. I actually want to say Philly might have a shot, but they're the modern-day version of the Bills: all those times in the big games and they have nothing to show for it (1-4 in conference championships & 0-1 in the Super Bowl this decade).
