Adrian Peterson is going to have a huge year, provided he stays healthy. After failing to rush for 1,000 yards last year Peterson is bound to have a chip on his shoulder. He's a proud guy, and between 2011, the injuries, and the fumbling problem Peterson has plenty of motivation coming into this year. Apparently he's way ahead of rehab schedule from last year's knee injury and I expect him to hit the ground running full speed when the season kicks off.

Aaron Rodgers is also going to have a huge year, in case anybody didn't already suspect that. Not only is he naturally talented but I think Rodgers and the Packers are going to be extra-motivated this year, too. They know they're better than the team that got stomped by the Giants last year, and they know they could've done better than a first round playoff exit.

Peyton's gonna be under a ton of pressure, literally and figuratively. Teams will target his suspect neck and the fans will expect a lot of wins, especially since Manning is succeeding Tebow.

RGIII will be the O-ROY.

The AFC North will be the NFL's best overall division and just might feature three playoff teams, again.

A make-or-break year for Tony Romo. He's compiled some very impressive stats over the years but the Cowboys have gone nowhere in the postseason. Stats are nice; postseason wins are better. Dallas filled some holes in the secondary and if the 'Boys don't win at least one playoff game this year Jerry Jones might start looking for a new quarterback. (and there are gonna be some GOOD ones in next year's draft)

Eli has a chance to cement himself as truly on Brady's level. We all remember his comments from last year, and nobody expected him to back it up with another Super Bowl ring. If he can win two in a row, NOBODY will be able to doubt Eli any longer.

The J-E-T-S are going to be a disaster. Mark Sanchez and Big Time Timmy Jim Tebow running the ship? Sounds like a titanic collapse just waiting to happen. I like Tebow but I don't trust him. And I don't like OR trust Sanchez.

Cam Newton's sophomore season will be a lot of fun. I hated this guy in college but he is truly a beast. Looking forward to see what he does for an encore.

The Eagles are going to show us what a real Dream Team looks like this year. Get ready, NFC East.

Aaron Berry's arrest is the sixth so far this offseason for the Lions. I don't know what it'll take but something needs to change drastically, because the inmates are running the asylum right now.

Chad Johnson (or whatever) promises to be a problem for Roger Goodell this year. Eight-Five needs to realize the NFL doesn't need him. At this point hardly anybody even wants him. Dude should learn when to keep his mouth shut.

The Denver Broncos pledged $50,000 to the wildfire relief effort. Nice gesture but 50 large is peanuts to an NFL team. The Broncos should make a substantial contribution because the state of Colorado is in a world of trouble due to the massive fire.

Drew Brees should've stayed out of the Bountygate mess. Between his contract demands and his statements against the NFL, Brees has done more to hurt his image this offseason than I ever thought possible.

Some of the teams we've grown to expect to compete for Super Bowls are seeing their windows close, fast. NFL careers are over in the blink of an eye, and certain teams need to win now, if they're going to win one. Brady, Manning, Vick, Romo, etc. are all getting old.
