The Oakland Raiders begin the season all even with the three other teams in their Division – enjoy it while it lasts! The Raiders figure to be one of the basement dwellers again as they try to keep up with the Broncos, the Chargers and the Chiefs.
The San Diego Chargers will look to build on a rare solid December stretch from last year, a first round playoff upset of the Bengals and a near-win against Denver in the second round of the postseason.
The Kansas City Chiefs were the unquestioned surprise of the NFL last season and enter the 2014-2015 campaign looking to take the next step.
The defending AFC Champion Denver Broncos return to the field this upcoming season as an overwhelming favorite to win the Conference again and to make a serious run at another Super Bowl Championship. And why not?
The St. Louis Rams enter the 2014-2015 season with more promise than they have had in a while. Sam Bradford should be healthy again in what is one final chance to win the St. Louis Rams fans over.
The question ahead of the San Francisco 49ers heading into the 2014-2015 season is a simple one. Are they good enough to beat the Seattle Seahawks within their own division. There is little doubt that the Niners are one of the two or three best teams in the NFC – it is just a matter of getting by the defending Super Bowl champs that will decide their fate.
The Arizona Cardinals were arguably the best story in the NFC last year – only eclipsed by the Kansas City Chiefs as the team that made the most drastic improvement. The addition of Head Coach Bruce Arians has completely changed the culture of this team and has made it one to be reckoned with – right off the bat.
The Seattle Seahawks become the hunted this year rather than being the hunter when they kick off their season against Green Bay in September.
