    The two most improved teams this season will be J ville and the Browns. You heard it here first. Coughlin is making a ton of difference with the Jags. They might even achieve a winning record.

    Jacksonville is a team that few should overlook this season. Their defense is the least of my concerns.



    Yes, yes, they still have Blake Bortles at quarterback but Leonard Fournette is their future for sure. Combine that with an offense predicated on clock control and they may just surprise some people.


    Add that defense... and you do have a darkhorse contender for the AFC South crown.



    Cleveland... I will have to wait and reserve judgement on them haha. Liked what I saw from DeShone Kizer though. Myles though... I am still not sold on him like most.

    Seriously? I bet their coaches would be thrilled if they won more than 4. They're trying to load up on talent but they're gonna be mostly rookies and second year guys and still no QB. They'll be better than the team that should've gone 0-16 last year... but I have a better chance at winning the powerball that the browns do of having a winning season

    As always, I want the Steelers to go 6-0 in the division. If they do, they'll win the division. After that, the other three can fight for scraps all they want.

    I think Tennessee will get that AFC South crown though that division is getting tough all the way around. Tenn made some nice moves this past year. We play that division this year.

    Agree on Tennessee. I got suckered by Jacksonville last season. They were my dark horse division champ. That worked out well. I think they'll be better, but still in the .500 range or worse.

    Whatever the Browns record at the end of the year... they will end up in third place.

    Same thoughts here. Tennessee should get it.


    However, for me, that depends if DeShaun Watson can come along quickly. The more he does, the better Houston's chances.


    Only reason I put Jacksonville as a darkhorse is that their defense is as talented as anyones in the league on paper. Putting it together and a consistent enough Bortles will be the key for them.

    every year people pick jacksonville to break out, and every year they're picking in the top percent of the draft.....it's the main reason tyson alualu signed with us

    your right about Jacksonville in years past, but they made some good moves this year. No.1 is coaching change, and Coughlin hire to oversee operations and a good drafting year.

    Historically, it's not the most improved teams we need to worry about.... our guys get up for big games..... it's which teams suck so bad that we look past them, those are the teams we need to worry about..... Giving up a game to a 2-14 team.
