Third String But Playing on Special Teams

Default Worst to first?

So every year since realignment in 2002 a team that finished last in the division ended up winning it the next year. Last year it was Tebow & the Broncos.

Who's it going to be this year?

This may sound crazy, but I think the Indianapolis Colts are going to surprise some people. They are in a weak division and Luck looks like the real deal. I feel like they could be AFC South Champs with a 10-6 or even 9-7 record.

Kansas City or Rams. Buffalo has a chance if EVERYTHING goes right and the Pats off season moves don't pan out.

If not the Chiefs, it will not happen this year.

This is an easy one--at least for me. I don't think any of these teams will win their division--except for the Colts. If they were not included I would not have voted.

The Chiefs because they have the talent, a HC they will play for, and Peyton isn't throwing like Peyton.

The Colts can't touch the Texans IMO.

But it takes a team to win, and as a team they just don't stack up with the Texans. I wouldn't expect them to even beat out the Titans for second.

I think the Chiefs have the best chance. I know it was only three games, but once they got rid of Haley and Romeo Crennel took over they were playing very well, especially on defense; they also had season ending injuries to three of their most important players last year.

If I recall correctly they only finished one game out of first place in 2011, so they have by far the least amount of improvement needed to go from worst to first.

No vote. I don't see a team that could do it.

KC if the streak continues, a division that isn't real strong, key players back from injury, team with a good coach the player want to play for.

It's gonna be tough with Peyton in the division but KC could definitely pull it off. They were 10-6 with Todd Haley 2 years ago and still managed to win half their games after losing most of their stars to injury. Now they have a real coach and get their players back. The sky is the limit for them.
