2007 AFC South Preview

Well, what is to tell, no new coaches here, but the defending Super Bowl Champs are here. In Houston a new era dawns at QB, and in Jacksonville, they want to know if Leftwhich is the right man for the job. In Tennessee, can the Titans pull off what they did a year ago, and can anyone unseat Indy?

4. Jacksonville Jaguars. Someone has to finish last, and it looks like it is the Jags. Now do not get me wrong, they are competitive, but the offesne is the biggest question. Not just QB, but WR as well. They run the ball well, but that is it. If this were an NFC Team, you would talk about them being contenders, but they are in the AFC. BOTTOM LINE-If the offense shows up, it will be a big year for the Jags
PREDICTED FINISH: 6-10

3. Houston Texans. Matt Schaub mania has hit Houston. The QB from Atlanta now has the shot at running his own offense, and Gary Kubiak copuld not be any happier. The Texans seem to be alright on offense, but the defense still worries me. Amobi Okoye needs time to develope, and Mario Williams has a lot to live up to, but DeMeco Ryans is the man on defense, and if his cast plays better, Houston could be thinking playoffs. BOTTOM LINE-if the O-line play improves, and the defense adjusts, this team is going to the playoffs.
PREDICTED FINISH: 8-8

2. Tennessee Titans. Jeff Fischer has a talented "Young" team this season. The defense is good enough to be a major force in the NFL once again, and with Vince Young doing what he did to Colleges in the NFL, look out, here come the Titans. The Titans may not have Travis Henry but so what? They are still a damn good club, and have some playmakers on offense to get things done. It is tight, but they edge out Houston. BOTTOM LINE-if the Titans get a deep threat at WR, think Super Bowl
Predicted Finish: 9-7

1. Indianapolis Colts. Well, the Manning jinx is over, as the Colts won it all last season and might again-if they can stay healthy. But they will have to work their way up to do it. The defense is still a concern, now that Booger McFarland is out for the year, the secondary has a lot of holes to fill. The only hole on offense is RB-Joe Addai is the man now, but depth is needed for the Colts at this position. Despite some shortcomings, this team will still be the one to beat. BOTTOM LINE-if the Colts get together like last year and play as they did in post season, there is no stopping them.
PREDICTED FINISH: 11-5
