1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

There is no reason to think that with all 22 starters returning from last years Super Bowl that they won’t at least get to the Conference title game.

2. New Orleans Saints

QB Drew Brees has retired and the torch has been passed to Jameis Winston. This will be an interesting team to watch.

3. Carolina Panthers

They still have a ways to go, but trading for QB Sam Darnold was a good move. Low risk and high reward.

4. Atlanta Falcons

The belief is that QB Matt Ryan can still help this team for a couple more years, which is why they drafted TE Kyle Pitts instead of a quarterback. That could come back to haunt them.
