    Biggest surprise: Raiders I think are the obvious choice here which doesn't really make them much of a surprise. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the Lions. Their defense is going to go back to playing at the dominant level they were playing at a couple years ago. Stafford and the offense will get it together and become more efficient and balanced offense now that megatron is gone.

    Decline: Cardinals. Palmer is a great QB and when I say that I mean he's top 5 in the league right now. He was incredible last season and probably the best passer in the league. I just can't see Palmer replicating the amazing play he had last season, I don't think he'll be bad but he'll be a step down from last season and in consequence the Cardinals will be more beatable.

    MVP: Big Ben. He's putting up ridiculous numbers for the past couple seasons now and I don't see him slowing down. Steelers offense is going to remain the high powered machine it is as long as they have Ben & Antonio Brown.

    Super Bowl matchup: Cowboys vs Steelers. Would be an amazing match up tbh.

    Which team will be the biggest surprise:
    Titans on the come up, although I can totally see an argument for the Jaguars.
    Which team is going to decline greatly after a great previous season:
    Broncos for sure
    MVP:
    Tyler Eifert best TE in the league
    Super Bowl Matchup:
    Bengals vs Panthers, battle of the cat bros and a little bias for both

    Idk about AZ this year honestly. Don't feel Palmer is going to have the same success that he had last year.

    NFC is always a crapshoot, tbh. I think the addition of Chandler Jones definitely improves their defense, which is already pretty solid. Plus, they have really good outside threats. I don't think Carolina is going to duplicate, either.

    I guess Seattle could be my prediction, but I think they'll regress. Although, Russell Wilson definitely took a big step forward last year.

    I really think Tampa Bay could be a sleeper though.

    Man, f--- the NFC, it'll probably be the Bears or Rams.
