Four analysts, four questions: AFC West
Ah, the AFC West. Home of rabid crowds, rich tradition and … well, not much else these days.
We continue with our Q and A series on each division with the sure-to-produce-one-playoff-team West. Will anyone challenge the Chargers? Does the division have a strength? Are there any sleeper players ready to break out into greatness?
Let our “Fantastic Four” answer.
Four analysts, four questions: AFC South
Our division Q and As continue with the AFC South, where few things are surer than death, taxes and Peyton Manning’s Colts winning at least 10 games and probably 12.
Our four tape-hounds put their collective heads together to look at the South, identify the breakout players and pick winners.
Does anyone have the temerity to pick against Indy? Only a fateful click of the mouse will reveal the not-so-shocking truth!
Four analysts, four questions: AFC East
Now it’s time for the AFC East in our series of division-centric season preview Q and As.
The AFC East shapes up as a three-team race for supremacy, and those three teams are fairly easy to identify: Buffalo, Buffalo and Buffalo.
This kind of analysis is why we get paid the big bucks!

Four analysts, four questions: AFC North
Khaled Elsayed. Neil Hornsby. Ben Stockwell. Sam Monson.
Individually, they are but men, but as a group the Pro Football Focus analysts and game graders are practically the Mount Rushmore of NFL observers. Or at least the Mount Blockmore of NFL observers.
In a series of Q and As for each division, the fearsome foursome answers a quartet of important questions for the NFL’s eight subsets. What are these divisions good at doing? Who’s going to overachieve, or underwhelm? Who’s going to be the breakout player? And, of course, who’s going to win?
Ranking the defensive fronts: The Triumphant 10
Finishing our look at the defensive lines ahead of the 2010 season, Ben Stockwell takes us through the top 10, starting with the underrated Atlanta Falcons and going all the way up to … well, we can’t tell you just yet, but the answers are a mere click away.
Here’s a hint: Our top team rhymes with “Plowboys.”
Ranking the defensive fronts: The Middlers
Continuing our look at the defensive lines heading into the 2010 season, Ben Stockwell takes you from 20 to 11. Who will rise to the top, and who will sink to the bottom?
And will the mediocrity of these fronts mean mediocrity in the standings as well?
