The Chargers have lived in mediocrity for the last 10 years. They have one of the most talented teams in the league, but my biggest fear is the Chargers will always just be the Chargers.

Seahawks have established themselves as one of the best drafting teams in the league. They are very deep with offensive weapons and have several playmakers of defense. They’re success will come from how well the play in the trenches. My assumption is it will be very good as I believe Pete Carroll will coach around their flaws.

The Carolina Panthers should be much better in 2023. Panthers were 2 bad calls from being 9-8 and that record should only increase as they’ve improved everywhere. I have them winning a lot of games but that is because of how easy their schedule is. Feels like this roster may need time to gel, but feels like Bryce is already three years ahead. If that elite coaching staff can push the timeline on their chemistry forward then this team will be a tough out at the end of the season.

Titans have owned the AFC South for a few years now and added one of the most talented receivers in the league. Don’t let their last seven games take away from the fact that Vrabel is still an elite coach, Henry is still an elite running back, and Hopkins is still an elite receiver. I don’t see much standing in the way of this team winning the AFC South again… outside of injury.

Jacksonville comes in at number 15 for me. Once you get this high we see that every team is good and there can't be 15 top ten teams. I think the Jags have elite offensive talent but will need one more year to get the talent on the offense and defensive lines. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were the Jaguars. Their time to shine will be 2024.

The Washington Commanders may have the best defense in the league with some very good offensive weapons for Sam Howell. If Howell can be average with their new OC and that roster I can easily see this team winning double digit games.

The Patriots are being slept on by everyone including me. I see the light now. They are good everywhere. The the concern is obviously 16-15 Mac Jones. If a 3rd year QB with a winning record being coached by the GOAT is you biggest worry then you’re probably going to be just fine.

The Browns are one of the most talented teams in the NFL. If someone in that organization can step up and lead them then this team could easily be a contender.

We are in the teens! The odd part about this team is that the reason people are high on them is because of the coach. Outside of that they have mostly the same roster that went 5-12 in 2022. The NFL fan community needs to decide if coaching matters or not. I agree that the Broncos are better because of Payton, but there are other elite coaches that aren’t getting the same benefit of the doubt.

The Packers have been excellent 3 of the last 4 years. Some think it’s only because of their former QB that was in their late 30s. I think it takes more than a QB to have that many wins. I see a 2022 Seahawks type season for the Packers in 2023.
