#11 Dallas Cowboys
When owner Jerry Jones saw the amount the Ravens paid their QB he knew he was as well going to have to overpay his middle of the pack QB and that he did. With Romo getting an extension he is guaranteed that the Cowboys are his team! Now is the time to step up and with Dez, Miles and Jason Witten, Romo has a high powered aerial attack and if they can get Demarrco Murray to stay healthy the NFL better watch out!#12 Washington Redskins
All we really have to say is they still have Mike Shannahan correct? I mean that guy is a guinness, he can take any RB and make him an instant star. Alfred Morris, Tatum Bell, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis, Reuben Draughns are they still around? Well Alfred is and if RGIII comes back with a season anywhere close to what he had last year the Redskins will have a solid season.
#13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Acquired a lot of important holes in their locker room. With the acquisitions of Darrelle Revis (Healthy?) Dashon Goldon and Eric Wright the Buccaneers added depth and great skill to their secondary! Josh Freeman is a good QB who has plenty of room and time to grow. Vincet Jackson is more familiar with the offense now and signing Mike Williams to an extension the Buccaneers are looking at a bright future!
#14 New York Giants
What? The New York Giants barely crack the top 20 are you kidding me? No we are not. The Giants lost a few key players this off-season, Osi Umenyiora, Chris Canty, Martellus Bennett and semi injury prone Ahmad Bradshaw. Thats a lot of key starters that have helped the Giants the past few seasons. Plus they had the holdout of Victor Cruz which is never a good idea for a player just hurts the team and makes you look bad if you do not play up to the contract. They still have Eli Manning at the helm and for some reason that guy always seem to win. #15 Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers seem to be on a decline the past couple of years but make no doubt, they will still be a hard nose D with a ground and pound Offense that can manage to win games. If Big Ben can stay healthy all year, the Steelers could definitely be a contender this year. Losing their deep threat Mike Wallace sure hurts but look for Antonio Brown to try and fill the void. Tomlin has a lot in store for him this year but from his short career in coaching we can see that he can handle adversity!#16 Indianapolis Colts
We are not completely sold on the Andrew Luck wagon quite yet. That being said he definitely showed great leadership last year and showed the potential to be a great NFL QB. Last year the Colts were playing with a lot of emotion and their strength of schedule was not so tough but they are another young team that look to have an amazing future ahead of them! T.Y. Hilton looks to be a great compliment to Reggie Wayne and their young D has a year under their belt, the Colts look to have a pretty good season.#17 Baltimore Ravens
Unlike the last Super Bowl team, the Ravens decided to stick with their QB and give him an outrageous amount of money! Making a lot of people wonder if Flacco was really worth losing numerous people on Defense. Yeah we knew the time would come when there would be no more Ray or Ed but to just let Ed go seemed a little weird? If their young D comes out and can play somewhat like last years than the Ravens will be alright this year but it is hard to tell right now. They also just lost Flacco's go to man around the end Zone Dennis Pitta along with losing Boldin because they could not afford him. Ravens have some decisions ahead of them and they obviously know they have a target on their back being the defending champion!#18 Minnesota Vikings
All Day (Adrian Peterson) is without question one of the best RB's of all time as long as he stays healthy. The Vikings had a great draft some might even say the best draft this year. They found a WR from Tennessee in Cordarelle Patterson and with the addition of Greg Jennings, the Vikings have already improved greatly from last year. They stole Sharrif Floyd and Xavier Rhodes late in the first round which is a huge addition for their D in a pass heavy league. If Christian Ponder can improve a little each year, look for the Vikings to have a great next couple of years!
#19 Chicago Bears
Da Bears! Jay Cutler stay healthy and your team will make it to the playoffs. Their D just keeps getting better the older they get it seems. Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler are one of the most fun QB/WR combos to watch in the NFL! Now all they need are some supporting cast at wideout. Look for Alshon Jeffery to get more looks this year and if Matt Forte and Michael Bush stay healthy all year as a 1-2 punch then the Bears will find themselves sitting at a decent record!
#20 St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams are in a tough division and will have to play the Seahawks and 49ers a combined four times throughout the year! That being said the Rams are a young and very talented team looking to improve from last year. Adding Jake Long to their team will definitely help out their O-Line so look for Bradford to help take this team to the next level with Rookie WR Tavon Austin and second year starters Brian Quick and Austin Pettis. It always helps to have a great coach in Jeff Fisher.
