Bears
Awesome offense, defense gonna be better but still pretty awful.
Any total under 50 I'm taking the over this year with them.
From a fantasy perspective I think Cutler is going to have a big year if he can stay healthy, throwing to all those targets and having to throw all the time cause of the defense.

Redskins
Speed all over the field, solid O line. Deep at receiver, Reed is a fast tight end and tough to match up against. Have The second leading rusher the past two years in Morris. All they need is for RG3 to learn how to slide.
Love the defense now. Ryan Clark and Hatcher are huge pickups. Orakpo fully healthy, Kerrigan is going to be much better and two solid corners. Meriweather and Clark at safety are going to light some teams up.
The only problem is they have all the NFC West teams scheduled (sea, az, stl, sf). Those are tough defensive teams. I still think we shock the world and go 11-5.

That is an awfully optimistic view of the defense. Meriweather looked mediocre last year and Ryan Clark is old (Skins should have never let him go). The linebacking group has little experience and Im not sure where you see 2 solid corners? Hall is another year older but I guess you could say solid. Amerson tho? I think its premature to call him solid.
I love the offense tho
Dallas Cowboys
Offense
Our Qb is coming off back surgery
Our backup Qb is Beezer
Defense
Ranked dead last in 2013 giving up avg 413 YPG which is more than any other team and 3rd most in NFL History. Ranked 30th against the pass and 27th against the run. Top CB Carr can't stay healthy. CB Skandrick won't play first 4 games because he took Molly. No improvements made this year
Cowboys will have to score 40 points a game to have a shot at winning games this year. Ain't happenin'.

Gotta disagree. Rambo was a liability last year and Ryan Clark will be much more reliable. The pash rush is going to be one of the best in the league with a healthy Orakpo and the addition of Hatcher.
I mean, the first team D has looked great all preseason. Even right now against the Ravens if you are watching it. 5 tackles for loss in the 1st quarter. They are blowing up the line of scrimmage. Fun to watch.
Giants offense is gonna be a bit better due to new OC and Rashard Jennings and Eli will not throw 27 INTs. But the O won't be THAT much better. Just not as bad.
Defense may be the best in the NFC Least, but that's not saying much.
The NFC Least is gonna be up for grabs. 9-7, 8-8, 7-9, 6-10. Any of the teams could finish in any of those positions and the Division champ will lose their first playoff game.

The most dominant team in the NFL, your Seattle Seahawks:
QB - Going into his 3rd year, what's not to love about Love Muscle? Guy isn't going to put up Peyton Manning numbers but is consistent and does not make mistakes. He's more than a game manager. He's the unquestioned leader.
RB - Lynch makes the Hawks go. They are a run first team and will tell you so and dare you to stop them. Watch out though, he is aging but...C. Michael is an absolute stud with speed that is nipping at his heels.
WR - G. Tate is gone but P. Harvin is healthy now. Now they have some depth. Harvin, Baldwin, Kearse and rookies Richardson and Norwood. Richardson is small but very speedy.
OL - Is always a question and my biggest concern. I like the signing of E. Winston but we'll see.
DL - We lost Red Bryant and Clemmons but please watch out for their 4th round pick C. Marsh out of UCLA. Guy has a motor and should fit in great. Bennett was the biggest resign of the offseason. They should dominate off the edges again.
LB - Solid again. Watch out for rook B. Coyle from Montana. The Hawks are high on this guy and he's making a lot of plays in the preseason.
DB - Nothing to be said. Best in the NFL and perhaps in the history of the NFL.
Seattle plays in the toughest division in the NFL. I see them going down to the wire with SF again but they get in the playoffs and will be ready for a late season run once again.

Patriots, will exceed the expectations of many who believe they're on the decline
defense is supposed to be one of the best in the league this year. Added Revis, get Wilfork & Mayo back
RB by committee, more than adequate
WR solid with LaFell, Amendola & Edelman plus Dobson and Thompkins who are no longer rookies
TE can be a monster, Pats had one of the league's top offenses with Gronk playing
Brady will be Brady
12 or more wins
title contenders

If the Steelers don't get to 10 wins, Tomlin has to go. They have 8 games against teams with a combined 37-91 record last year. They only play 2 games on the road against teams with winning records, the other 4 are at home. The other team, Balt, was 8-8. LeGarret Blount is a cancer and has to go. They have an average O line finally. Yes, for them, that's great news. If they let Ben go no huddle when he wants, there's no reason to not reach 10, maybe.....just maybe 11 wins, with that schedule. Now, because of recent events, the backfield may be getting thin. That could hurt them bad.
Typical Indy team. Great quarterback, great skill guys. OL will be a work in progress. Defense slowly coming around but they also may have the worst secondary in the NFL. I am just glad they switched to the 3-4 defense. Tony Dungy ruined the colts with his stupid and extremely predictable tampa 2. Worst defense in football. 3-4 gives so much more variety. Mathis will miss the 1st 4 games. Toler may be one of the worst corners in the NFL and they are starting a new strong safety this year and laron Landry will be hurt by week 3 and be on IR.
But as it is with the NFL, you are always in it if you have an elite quarterback and in his 3rd year, hopefully Luck only gets better. If Luck missed the season, this team would be a lock to have the #1 pick again. Can you imagine a 46 year old matt Hasselback with no offensive line and this defense.
They are a lock to win the division barring a Luck injury.Probably a 3 or 4 seed. With the way the schedule is alligned, i think this year every 4 years is their toughest schedule as they play the NFC east and the AFC North along with Broncos and Patriots. Those teams don't go 14-2 but they are usually physical and likely none are picking in the top 5. If the colts played in a tough division, schedule would be brutal. They also wont be playing the Redskins until RG 3 is hurt so redskins will be better once Cousins plays. Wish they played them week 1 before he goes down.
Only 2 years left until they will have to give Luck his franchise qb deal and Hilton a sizeable contract as well. And Probably Dwayne Allen. Had a good rookie year but was hurt all of last year.
