Agreed with what the NFL loves, but I just don't see it.  The Raiders pulled out some close games last year with gutsy calls (2 point conversion) that went their way.  Their team has some great personnel, but lacks in the linebacker corps and secondary on defense.  I also think San Diego, er, LA (That feels weird) might be a sleeper team in the AFC West.

I was flat-out amazed KC took a QB, and gave up a ton to get him, when they were seemingly close last year.  Now, I don't know how that team will respond.

pitt will be tough offensively, but I think the Bengal's defense will be better than them, especially in the back end.  Look for some high scoring games out of there this year.

New England is still New England, and they have made some moves to improve their club over a year ago, but Atlanta showed (for 3 and 1/2 quarters) that a team with a lot of weapons can spread them out and attack them.  I am a LOT more optimistic of holding down their offense with the LB corps we have now, as their game of dink and dunk is very difficult to defend, but if you can cover just long enough, the front four should be able to get some shots on Brady.

It is going to be big fun watching it unfold.
