Basically what the title says, I'll predict division standings, playoff matchups, award winners . . . * indicates wildcard.

AFC East

1. 13-3 New England Patriots - Coud look a lot like their '07 team

2. 9-7 Buffalo Bills - Terrell Owens should help, but not a lot

3. 8-8 Miami Dolphins - Fluke season from QB and average defense

4. 6-10 New York Jets - Mark Sanchez or Kellen Clemens?  Is neither an option?

AFC North

1. 12-4 Pittsburgh Steelers - Basically everyone returning

2. 10-6 Baltimore Ravens* - Losing key defensive players hurt but Joe Flacco is a stud

3. 6-10 Cincinatti Bengals - Carson Palmer is back, still a good QB

4. 5-11 Cleveland Browns - Basically a mess everywhere

AFC South

1. 11-4 Indianapolis Colts - Nine game winning streak to end the season

2. 9-7 Houston Texans* - Could have one of the best offenses in AFC

3. 8-8 Tennessee Titans - No Albert Haynesworth and no passing game

AFC West

1. 11-5 San Diego Chargers - No competition in this weak division

2. 6-10 Kansas City Cheifs - Matt Cassell will be their best QB in years
