1. Most under the radar team?
Corbaz (@yungswiss_): The New Orleans Saints. After being rocked by the bounty gate scandal, the Saints get their coaching staff back. Adding Rob Ryan will have the biggest difference as he will turn that last place defense around. Look for Brees to have another big season. Also look for the Bucs, Eagles and Lions to bounce back.
Allen (@AC_Writer): The Cincinnati Bengals. Strong defense and the Dalton-Green connection on O.
Eric (@Eric_sarani): Cardinals; With a legitimate arm in the pocket now in Carson Palmer, reigning coach of the year Bruce Arians could take the Cardinals to second in the NFC west and a shot at a wild card spot in the NFC. Don’t sleep on ARIZONA.
Corbaz: The Baltimore Ravens. After winning the Super Bowl the Ravens have lost six starters as well as the heart and soul of that defense, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. It will take at least a season for the chemistry to get where it needs to be.
Allen: The Denver Broncos. Yes Peyton Manning is good, yes they added Wes Welker but they won't go far this year.
Eric: Redskins; Don’t think RGIII stays healthy. Even though I love Alfred Morris running the ball, too tough of a division. Eagles way underperformed last year (healthy Mike Vick and Chip Kelly offense is dangerous), and the cowboys and giants will both have at or over .500 records.
3. Who will win the MVP?
Corbaz: Peyton Manning. He will have plenty of targets to throw to including Wes Welker and Demaryius Thomas. Their defense is a question mark so count on Manning to make up for that weakness by putting up huge numbers.
Allen: AD. That year he had coming off surgery was spectacular. I see him having an equally impressive year being healthier.
Eric: Adrian Peterson; Boomer
4. --- will win the AFC West.
Corbaz: This division is a joke right now. The Denver Broncos will win easily. They will go undefeated and have no problem with the lowly Raiders, Chiefs and Chargers.
Allen: The Denver Broncos. Fever shouldn't have any trouble with division foes behind Manning.
Eric: Denver Broncos, Easiest division and they’ve got Peyton.

Corbaz: The Houston Texans. This was a really hard decision for me but there is just a little more talent in Houston than there is in Indianapolis. Schaub, Johnson and Foster will be too much for a lot of defenses. Ed Reed will also have a huge impact not only on the field but in the locker room as well.
Allen: The Houston Texas. Luck's Colts will challenge but Houston three pronged offensive attack will prevail.
Eric: Colts; This is going to be decided by one game like last year and unlike last year, the Colts will edge out Houston for top dog in the South. Andrew Luck is only getting better and They have got backs now in Bradshaw and a polished Ballard. Reggie Wayne is the youngest looking 34 year old I’ve ever seen.
Corbaz: The Cleveland Browns. Just kidding, I am picking the Cincinnati Bengals. They are a young team, hungry to improve on a 10-6 season in 2012.
Allen: The Cincinnati Bengals. If there defense performs like last year and the offense plays up to potential they'll win out.
Eric: Bengals; I think the Bengals edge out a question mark-ridden Ravens D as Number 1 in the AFC North. I think Gio passes the Green-Ellis for the starting job at running back to win out the last 7 games and take 1st place.
Corbaz: The New England Patriots. Even though they had a very interesting off season, Belichick is a genius and will be good enough to win this weak division. However, it will be interesting to see how they fair against better opponents such as the Falcons in week 4 and the Broncos in week 12.
Allen: Bill and Tom. No receivers, no problem, Brady will get the Patriots to the winner's circle.
Eric: Patriots; Haven’t been anything less than 1st since 2008, and Miami isn’t beating them this year either.

Corbaz: The San Francisco 49ers. This was the hardest decision to make but there will be some great games in the West this year so mark your calendars. I think the 49ers-Seahawks game in week 2 will be one for the ages.
Allen: The Seattle Seahawks. This league will be tough be behind Russell and Marshawn on O as well as lock corners Browner and Sherman. They'll gut it out.
Eric: 49ers; Reigning NFC champions win their division and get the 1 seed in the playoffs.
9. --- will win the NFC South.
Corbaz: The Atlanta Falcons. I definitely see them going 13-3 again and hungrier then ever to reach the Super Bowl. Adding Stephen Jackson in the backfield was a great under the radar move.
Allen: Those Dirty Birds. Matt Ryan's crew adds Stephen Jackson and Osi Umenyora on D. They'll overcome the Saints in this division.

| RG3 and the Skins have high hopes for the new season |
Corbaz: The Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers is a stud and drafting Ed Lacy will give this offense balance it hasn't had in years.
Allen: The Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews will simply get it done, again.
Eric:The Green Bay Packers led by Rodgers will edge out the Vikings.
11. ---will win the NFC East.
Corbaz: The Washington Redskins. This team will go as RG3 goes. It sounds like his knee is fine so look for him to have another great season. The Eagles under Chip Kelley will be interesting to watch and could possibly end up in a shoot out between the two when they play.
Allen: RGIII and crew. Solid rushing attack and Griffin's playmaking will put up enough points to win this division.
Eric: Giants; I honestly think there are too many questions with the Redskins and the Cowboys aren’t winning anything any time soon.
Corbaz: The San Francisco 49ers. After reaching the NFC title game in 2012 and the Super Bowl last season, it is finally their time to hoist that trophy. They had a spectacular off-season and with a year under Kapernick's belt, I do not see them being stopped in the playoffs.
Allen: The Atlanta Falcons. After a few early exits I see Atlanta getting over the hump. With a stronger rushing attack and a much needed pass rusher added the Falcons will finally do the job. All hail the Dirty Birds.
Eric: I’m picking the patriots over Atlanta.
