If the Ravens can survive in the secondary than they have a shot at being the top team in the AFC. The Colts as always will be there. New England seemed to have a pretty good draft, but their defence was getting exposed a lot last year. Pittsburgh will need to get through that 6 game stretch without Roethlisberger, if they do that I can see them getting on a roll and being the AFC team in the Superbowl.

I don't think there is a lot to chose between the likes of Miami, New York Jets, Houston Texans, Cincinatti, and San Diego. If Vincent Jackson doesn't play the first 10 games out it could impact the Chargers a fair bit. If they didn't get to destroy the rest of that awful Division they wouldn't be a playoff team.

I think the AFC has lost ground and is now the weaker of the two Conferences. The Colts and Ravens should be pretty good but after that it's a lot of parity in my eyes, and probably what will be the three of the worst teams in Football in Kansas City, Oakland, and Denver.
