AFC South Predictions

With the Colts taking hits in the coaching department and the Titans losing Albert Haynesworth, do you think this is finally the year the Texans win the division?

We all know about the Titans' depth in their D-line, but realistically, they don't have anyone that can do what Haynesworth did. I think Bullock will start to show age and the rest of the defense will suffer.

As far as the Colts, they've been showing signs of weakness the past 2 seasons, I think this will be their worst season in a while. Dungy's gone, they lose not only a head coach, but a huge motivational factor.

The Jags should do better, but not much better than 8-8. Trading Marcus Stroud was a big mistake.

I think that the Titans vastly overachieved last year, and this one will see them come back down to what they are. Factor in the losses and the age and I'm thinking that the Texans could possibly give them a run for their money for the top spot. I have learned to never count out Indy as long as Manning is there, tho.

Jacksonville will be better than their record will imply, but mostly because they'll do poorly against the division foes.

Regarding Haynesworth - now that he's gotten his payday I would not be surprised if he took the next couple seasons off. I don't see him playing with that intensity during a non-contract year, especially if he's pulling checks like he is now. This will go down as a bad FA pickup by the Redskins.
