This might get moved to the "Around The NFL" forum but I think it could go here as well since most of us probably will pick the Packers, and more people seem to come to the Packers part.
Who do you think the division winners will be? Who do you think the wild card winners will be? And whom do you think with beat who in the Super Bowl?
My guesses
AFC:
North: Ravens
South: Texans
East: Patriots
West: Chargers
Wild Cards: Jets and Titans (tough to leave the Steelers out but sounds like they might be having OL problems and I've heard the last two times they made it to the Super Bowl they didn't make it to the playoffs the next year)
NFC:
North: Packers
South: Saints
East: Eagles
West: Rams
Wild Cards: Falcons and Lions (Bucs were right up there as well for me but had to leave one of them out.)
Super Bowl: Packers over Patriots

Jets are not a serious consideration for getting past a WC spot until they get a decent QB. OR Sanchez becomes one.
The issue I have with the Titans is that they are a Running team, which was only enough to get them 6 wins last year. CJ had a big hold out and you know what happens to guys that hold out. Injuries. I doubt they changed enough to merit having a winning record, much less a playoff spot.
I have the exact same issue with Houston. Great running doesn't equate to wins. Neither team has anything else. I think that the first team to 8 wins takes the AFC south. Either Jacksonville or Indy. I will go with better coaching in Indy. Even without Manning, the Colts are better than Tennessee, Houston and Jacksonville.
I would give that WC spot to the Steelers.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
