Flacco and Steve Smith back, Mike Wallace, their first round pick from last year, supposedly the best TE in the draft last year... If they get that offense going which is bound to happen, those 6 losses turn in to 6 wins and all of a sudden they are an 11 win team.

1. AFC North: The expected resurgence of the Ravens gives the division three legitimate contenders, not to mention three bona fide human starting quarterbacks now that Andy has obliterated the Dalton Scale. The schedule won't help the Browns.

They could just as easily have had 0 wins as 11. Flacco is coming off injury and isn't that great to begin with, smith is another year older and coming off injury, their line is terrible, who are their RB's? If T-rich is gonna save them they're in trouble, they're an 8 win team at best and my bet is they'll end up back around 4-6 wins again next year. Happens every year, media picks a team that is mediocre at best and decides they'll be great and fans everywhere buy into it without bothering to look at a roster that is nothing special.

The Chiefs suck. They had a ridiculously easy schedule and ran off a ton of wins like they should have. And hen when they played a good team in the playoffs?? Got spanked. The Broncos don't have a quarterback. There's no way you can project them to be any good when there's so many question marks around the most important position in sports
