But in the AFC the only two teams I can see getting into the playoffs this year who didn't last year are the Chargers, and Texans. Even if Manning missed 3 games and the Colt went 0-3....they still will put up at least 9 wins, and possibly 10. I don't think Houston is going to be better than 10.

In the NFC I could Someone else winning the NFC West, and Chicago being displaced by a Tampa, Detroit or NYG.

But I'm not seeing a 5th team. Which tells me someone is going to surprise this year, like Cincinnati running the table in their division two years ago, Atlanta winning their division three years ago, or KC last year. Money question is who of last years playoff teams falters that I haven't already mentioned?
Baltimore. I don't trust Joe Flacco
