1. Houston Texans

They have one of the most impressive defensive units currently in the NFL. If QB C.J. Stroud can find the groove he had in his rookie season, then maybe they could finally advance past the Divisional Round for the first time in franchise history.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars

Aside from the disappointing early playoff exit, it was a great start under head coach Liam Coen. Now it’s time to see if they can repeat that and remain a contender going forward.

3. Indianapolis Colts

After a promising start last season they fell off a cliff in the second half of it. If QB Daniel Jones can remain healthy the Colts will be in a better position to clinch a playoff spot potentially.

4. Tennessee Titans

The reset button has been hit and they have begun surrounding QB Cam Ward with better personnel on the offensive line and at wide receiver. Will new head coach Robert Saleh have better results this time around with his second head coaching stint?

1. Houston Texans

It’s their division unless someone else takes it from them. That’s not to say that the Texans aren’t good, it’s the fact that it is the easiest division to win in the NFL.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars

QB Trevor Lawrence will be playing under his third head coach in just his fifth season. For his sake the Jaguars better have figured this out.

3. Indianapolis Colts

It’s safe to say that they should not have taken QB Anthony Richardson with the 4th overall pick in the 2023 draft. QB Daniel Jones will try to re-establish himself as a top signal caller being the 6th overall pick in the 2019 draft for the New York Giants.

4. Tennessee Titans

Rookie QB Cam Ward should be remembered as the story of the 2025 draft. There’s good reason to believe that he can turn around this franchise in the near future.
