AFC South

1. Columbus Pioneers
2. Indianapolis Colts
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
4. Tennessee Titans

The Pioneers of late have been a better version of the Cardinals/Wildcats of old in that they've had fantastic offenses and porous defenses. I think that's finally about to change. The offense should by all means still be elite. QB Russell Wilson might have a claim to be the league's fourth-best QB. Reigning MVP WR Mark Clayton is the best at his position, and even after getting pilfered during RFA, this OL is still very good. After getting tepid seasons to end his career, HB Willis McGahee was supposed to hand the baton to Le'Veon Bell, but true to his character, he's going to be missing some games. We will instead see for the first quarter of the season former Colts 1st rounder Chris Johnson, who is coming off of a promising season where he averaged 4.5 YPC and didn't fumble on 100+ touches with the Falcons. I guess what I am trying to say is that they have a complete offense. The defense I think has a chance to make a substantial rise from where they were last season. With the pair of first round picks in MLB Kyle Emanuel and OLB Kyler Fackrell, they might be the final ingredients to an effective and stable defense. I think they are legit SB contenders this season, and they are the team I am most excited about this season. I swear that playing in my city has nothing to do with it!

The Colts lost quite a few mainstays to retirement and struck out on their main targets in free agency, but they scored their LG of the present and future in RFA and added a ton of depth through the draft and free agency. This was one of the league's best teams last season and if not for a meltdown by co-Comeback Player of the Year QB Charlie Whitehurst in the playoffs, we might have seen them in the Super Bowl. Defense was their bread-and-butter, and they return 10 of 11 starters, but Whitehurst took where David Carr left off and added another dynamic to their offense that while elite, was very effective and had one of the lowest turnover rates. He should be defined by his disastrous playoff game. What could be problematic is the short and long-term at HB. Steven Jackson is the epitome of a volume runner as he hasn't had a YPC above 4.4 in his career, and he is coming off seasons where it was 4.0 and 3.9. Backup LeSean McCoy isn't much better, so it could be chalked up to OL problems. With two new starters, perhaps the Colts will field a truly complete team and make a deep playoff run.
