AFC SOUTH: Pre-Draft Predictions and Analysis
Note: This is a pre-draft analysis on the teams and predictions based on the new schedule release. Moshe Football understands that some of the teams records may seem too high or too low. This is due to the type of quick predictions. Moshe Football will also have after draft predictions, and post pre-season predictions (the main one that will be deeper analyzed and the one Moshe Football will stand by). So if you have any beef, save it for the later predictions.
AFC SOUTH
z-Houston Texans 14-2 (the one seed)
Indianapolis Colts 7-9
Tennessee Titans 7-9
Jacksonville Jaguars 1-15
Z= Conference Champs, Y=Division Champs, X=Playoff Spot
Houston Texans
Slack will definitely be given over this, especially considering their schedule includes the 49ers, Seahawks, Ravens, Patriots, and Broncos. But the Texans will finish on top of the AFC at the end of the regular season. It's the playoffs the Texans won't survive.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 16 vs Denver Broncos - A win over the broncos may very well give the Texans the first seed.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 5 at San Francisco 49ers - Losing here will hurt their validity.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colt's schedule is not so bad. They just won't be making it this year. In the early predictions the Colts tied with the Ravens for the final seed, having to go down to the strength of victory to lose the tie breaker to the Ravens. While the Ravens will actually win more than seven games next year. Seven seems about right for last year's surprise team.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 2 vs Miami Dolphins - The Colts will start the season 2-0. A win versus Miami will give the Colts an important head to head advantage when it comes time to fight for playoff spots.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 5 vs Seahawks - The Colts first two losses will be against NFC West teams.
Tennessee Titans
The Titans were nothing special last year and this year won't be too different. But if Tennessee could improve their 1-5 record against their division this team can be a surprise. The toughest part of their schedule is a three week road stretch including one division game and the Broncos.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 11 vs Indianapolis Colts - A sweep in this series could result to second place in the division for the winner.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 13 at Indianapolis Colts - This will even out the race for the final wildcard spot.
Jacksonville Jaguars
This team is a mess but Jones-Drew and Blackmon are a light in the darkness. Moshe Football predicts this team to fight out for the first pick in 2014.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 11 vs Arizona Cardinals - The Jags only win will screw them out of the first pick.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 1 vs Kansas City Chiefs - The start to a bad season.
