1st Place - Indianapolis Colts - The Colts have won four straight AFC South division titles and have enjoyed four consecutive seasons with at least 12 victories. The defending Super Bowl champs will add to both of those streaks in 2007. Yes, we feel that this defense has some issues against the run because of weak linebacker play, but Peyton Manning and the offense will more than make up for several breakdowns a games with their ability to score at will. Still plenty of talent to win the division, but likely not enough to get back to the Super Bowl.

2nd Place - Jacksonville Jaguars - The Jags were a major disappointment last season falling off four games from their 12-4 2005 season. Despite being clubbed by injuries, the defense remained an elite top five unit which promises to be better in 2007 because of the experience that young fill-ins gained last year. The offense could not score last season. Byron Leftwich needs to be the leader of this offense by staying healthy and taking command. Neither seems likely. Put Jacksonville on the playoff fence.

3rd Place - Tennessee Titans - The Miracle Titans found a way to win eight games last season or should I say rookie sensation Vince Young did. So much for seeing a promising player and wanting to put more around him to be even more successful. Instead, the Titans lost running back Travis Henry, they have no receivers with any kind of a name, and they brought in no elite pass rusher. We will find out that Vince can’t really do it all this season. Oh year, the Pacman Jones stuff was quite the downer.

4th Place - Houston Texans - It will be a different song but the same old tune for the Texans as they look to move forward behind new QB Matt Schaub. Schaub is unproven at best in the NFL and he inherits an offensive line that has proved to be one of the worst in football. With such a poor O-line, Schaub can expect to run for his life, and the Texans can expect to get nothing once again from the run game which they desperately need. The defense is improving and shows potential, but these guys will be like the Raiders in that the offense won’t live up to its end of the bargain. Houston finds the gutter.

We don’t see anyway the Colts are losing this division so make sure you get your futures wager in on them at one of our recommended sportsbooks such as Bodog, BetUS, Bookmaker, or Sports Betting. Take this one to the bank ladies and gents.
