    So, as I'm sure most of you know, for the past 8 seasons in a row, and 10 of the last 11, the NFL has always had at least one "worst-to-first" team; that is, a team that finished 4th in its division the previous season bounces back to win the division the following year. Last year, it was the Chiefs. Who has the best chance this year? Or, will this be the first year in 9 seasons that we don't have a worst-to-first team? Your candidates, with last year's record in parentheses:

    AFC East: Buffalo Bills (4-12)
    AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals (4-12)
    AFC South: Tennessee Titans (6-10)
    AFC West: Denver Broncos (4-12)
    NFC East: Washington Redskins (6-10)
    NFC North: Minnesota Vikings (6-10)
    NFC South: Carolina Panthers (2-14)
    NFC West: Arizona Cardinals (5-11)

    I like the optimism, and I do see us doing a lot better than many think.

    Looking at that list, I honestly think the Titans have just as good of a chance of doing it as any of those other teams.

    I think it will be the Broncos, as long as Tebow isn't starting.

    Titans will be 9-7.

    Not sure if that's good enough for "worst to first", though.

    I can't see any of those other teams making that same type of improvement.

    Unfortunately, for them (I guess), I think Tebow will be starting.

    Though, Orton is still on their roster. So, you never know.

    Looking at the list now, I do think we have just as good a chance as any of the other teams. But my pick for MOST likely chances would be the Broncos. It was their division that it happened in last year, and I don't see why it can't be theirs again. I don't know why this forum is down on Tebow, but I think he has the chance to lead his team to some wins... I don't see why not.

    I think the Titans, Broncos, and Cardinals are the only teams that have remote chances. But I think the Rams will win it over the Cardinals, and I think the Texans or Colts will take our division (although Jacksonville has improved greatly this off-season).

    Broncos are my pick.
