Better/Worse Than Expected

Must start every season with one of these, the lines start talking to you: BETTER- HOU(by a lot), MINN(ball control & good D), JAX(addition by subtraction), PITT(returns to NFL elite), OAK(good D, enough weapons on O to win a few), SF(trendy, but talent is there). WORSE- CHI(lost a lot on D, O needs D to set the table), ATL(worst team in NFL, college coach), NYJ(not sneaking up on anyone), NO(Ditto NYJ, add in bad D, can't outscore a 1st place schedule all season), CAR(aging, living on reputation, Delhomme is bad), KC(all stats call for LJ demise, then what do they do?), NYG(loss of Barber is enormous, D keeps getting worse), DET(if Kitna was so good, he wouldn't be there), NE(big early season losses on D, will take time for O to mesh, elite, but nowhere near best right now).
