1. Pittsburgh Steelers
From top to bottom this is one of the best teams that Mike Tomlin has ever had in Pittsburgh.
2. Cincinnati Bengals
If Andy Dalton can stay healthy for the playoffs, maybe they can make some noise in January.
3. Baltimore Ravens
Keeping key players healthy (namely their QB Joe Flacco) will determine their success this year.
4. Cleveland Browns
With the Cavaliers bringing the city a championship, the Browns have a shining example to follow.
1. New England Patriots
Even with Tom Brady out the first 4 games, winning 12 games still seems doable for them.
2. New York Jets
Bringing in Matt Forte means the Jets offense have another weapon in the passing attack.
3. Buffalo Bills
Tyrod Taylor is being paid like a franchise QB, but is there enough around him to get Buffalo into the playoffs?
4. Miami Dolphins
Adam Gase has been hired to turn around this once proud franchise’s fortunes.

I barely watched a few minutes of any sports network’s coverage of this years Super Bowl and frankly I’m glad because this year they seemed to be struggling to try and come up with some unique storylines. For one, anyone trying to make a point about Cam Newton and the way he conducts himself on the field was tiresome and disingenuous. What he does on the field is fine with me and if you don’t like it, keep him out of the endzone. No one was going to get the exclusive from Peyton Manning that this would be his final game regardless of the outcome. That was pretty comical to see everyone try to get it from him and politely pushed it to the side. With that said, here’s my outlook on the big game. Continue reading
