Posted on August 30th, 2007 – 10:30 AMBy Michael Rand
If the Vikings get blacked out a bunch of times this year, you just might have to get to know the AFC a little bit better. We’re here to help, but we’ve given ourselves a 5-minute limit for this post. Ready? Go!
AFC EAST
1. Patriots — though they will implode in the playoffs, and it will be fun to watch.
2. Bills — Up and comers.
3. Fins — Trent Green and duct tape.
4. Jets — Eight games of Pennington, eight games of Clemens, six victories.
AFC NORTH
1. Ravens — They still play some D.
2. Steelers — Tomlin.
3. Bengals — Taking a step back until they learn to play both sides of the ball.
4. Browns — [redacted].
AFC SOUTH
1. Colts — only fools take the Jags.
2. Jags — Who plays QB?
3. Titans — minus-76 point differential last year indicates 8-8 was a mirage. Vince Young can only do so much.
4. Texans — No longer a pushover with Schaub to go with Reggie Bush. Oh, wait.
AFC WEST
1. Chargers — Martyball.
2. Broncos — Hot on their heels, deep playoff run.
3. Chiefs — LJ and pray.
4. Raiders — Daunte gets his roll on 12-14 times.
