The Cleveland Browns hope to escape their annual role as the league’s punching bag this season. The club brings in Mike Pettine to be its new head coach after he did some great things with the Buffalo defense a year ago.
The Pittsburgh Steelers weathered a litany of roster moves during the offseason following a disappointing 8-8 season, and now hope that all of that roster turnover will lead to wins on the field.
In all likelihood, the Tennessee Titans are not going to be good in 2014. This is blatantly obvious when looking at their roster, but at least they have one reason to hold their heads high entering the new year: The only team in the NFL with worse odds to win the Super Bowl are in their own division—the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Oakland Raiders begin the season all even with the three other teams in their Division – enjoy it while it lasts! The Raiders figure to be one of the basement dwellers again as they try to keep up with the Broncos, the Chargers and the Chiefs.
The San Diego Chargers will look to build on a rare solid December stretch from last year, a first round playoff upset of the Bengals and a near-win against Denver in the second round of the postseason.
The Kansas City Chiefs were the unquestioned surprise of the NFL last season and enter the 2014-2015 campaign looking to take the next step.
The defending AFC Champion Denver Broncos return to the field this upcoming season as an overwhelming favorite to win the Conference again and to make a serious run at another Super Bowl Championship. And why not?
The St. Louis Rams enter the 2014-2015 season with more promise than they have had in a while. Sam Bradford should be healthy again in what is one final chance to win the St. Louis Rams fans over.
The question ahead of the San Francisco 49ers heading into the 2014-2015 season is a simple one. Are they good enough to beat the Seattle Seahawks within their own division. There is little doubt that the Niners are one of the two or three best teams in the NFC – it is just a matter of getting by the defending Super Bowl champs that will decide their fate.
The Arizona Cardinals were arguably the best story in the NFC last year – only eclipsed by the Kansas City Chiefs as the team that made the most drastic improvement. The addition of Head Coach Bruce Arians has completely changed the culture of this team and has made it one to be reckoned with – right off the bat.
The Seattle Seahawks become the hunted this year rather than being the hunter when they kick off their season against Green Bay in September.
The Detroit Lions looked to capitalize on a huge 2011 season, but promise turned to letdown as the boys from Motor City finished the 2012-13 campaign with an overall record of 4-12.
The Green Bay Packers started off slowly in 2012, and after five games into the season found themselves already one game under .500, which included a controversial loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The biggest question when looking at this year’s Minnesota Vikings is — whether Adrian Peterson can carry the Vikings to another postseason appearance.
The NFC North is the only division heading into the 2013 NFL season that has an overwhelming favorite to run away with the division title.
