[J.U. ICE]

Brown's already surprised last year. I don't think anybody would be surprised if they were able to get deep into the playoffs. I want to go out on a limb and say Cincy will be better this year too. Should be an interesting year.

Texans definitely have the potential to surprise, but they're in one of the toughest divisions, with the Colts, Jaguars, and Titans. I think the competition will be pretty solid all the way through. Tennessee might surprise.

I don't expect the Ravens to surprise. AFC North is another tough division, and they have a tough schedule. I'd say it will take them another year to get up to par.

I'd have to agree with the Jets though. After their first few games, they should cruise through some of the teams, and their division isn't that scary other than New England, although the Bills are improved too.

Falcon's won't surprise next year. Michael Turner's not going to make them a contender all of a sudden. They've lost too much talent, and the entire situation in Atlanta is just.. not promising.

I'm going to throw Oakland into the mix. Now I don't expect them to be back in their early 00's form, but if Jamarcus can step up, I think they can get a few more wins.
