Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2615209, member: 2221"] I think there are at least 4 NFC teams ahead of Denver: Saints, GB, 49'ers and Seahawks. The trashing at the hands of Seattle last SB is indicative of how much stronger that conference is at the moment. I haven't checked the actual draw, which can have a big impact on how teams will end, but based on potential, here's my opinion: Denver is by far the best AFC team, although I'm expecting good things from the Colts, with Andrew Luck having another year under his belt, especially if T-Rich delivers. The Pats season will very much depend on Gronk's health imo, but I reckon the Bengals have more upside. Steelers and Chiefs may also have a word to say, especially if Kansas defense is as good as last year, and Alex Smith keeps that performance level. Divisions to go to NE, Cincy, Indy and Denver. The NFC has all the really good defenses (except maybe the Chiefs), with Seahawks, 49'ers, Cards and Panthers ready to obliterate anything or anyone that comes their way. There will be a bloodbath in the West, probably even more so than last season, and there will be teams left out of the playoff that would otherwise walk in if their were in the other conference. Seattle has to remain favourites, but I reckon (and hope) the 49'ers may push that bit further, depending on how well their secondary performs. Missing Aldon and Navorro won't be too big an issue, as we have good depth in the LB dept, but we can't slack too much at the start, at the risk of not being able to catch up later, like last year. SF to pip the Seattle this time. The other conferences all at least have one contender, with East being possibly the weakest division, but I can see another big fight between NO and Carolina for top spot in the South, and I reckon Carolina will take it. GB will take North easily if A-Rod stays healthy and Philly should take East, although you never know what the South-Western Cowboys (WTF are they doing in the NFC East?) are capable of. Must laugh at the comment that SF can't push in that top tier... if they're not there, who is? [/QUOTE]
