early playoff favorites?

simple question, who do you feel, if the season started right now, is best suited to take their division and wild card spots?

individual records are optional.

best answer is not based on my personal opinion, but rather who has the best argument on the matter.

    The Texans are the best team i think. They added Ed Reed and i dont care what anyone says that hes old. hes old but he plays better than most Safeties in the NFL and hes a huge upgrade over the Quin guy they had. They get Brice Mcain back from injury in 2011 Brice was the best nickle corner in the NFL and the Texans love having the nickle back they have J-Jo witch was the best corner last year in the NFL (of corse cause Revis was hurt) and Jackson the 2010 first round pick is looking like a first round pick he even held down Calvin Johnson to 3 receptions and 34 yards in 3 quarters thats after the other corners let calvin get 8 receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The coaches dindnt trust Jackson with calvin but when Jackson was put on Calvin he did nothing the rest of the game. They got a Safety in the second round thats going to add more depht to the safety position. And of coarse they get their defensive leader back Brian Cushing. Cushing is the heart of the defense an excelent run stopper and cover linebacker Cushing is just a physical mis match to the O line when they blitz him he also inspires the defense to play better. Watt nuff said. The Offense Matt Schaub dispite the critisism hes taken hes still a top 10 QB in the NFL and hes the best play action passer Schaub can lead this team to a championship. Arian Foster was the 2nd best RB last year second to you know who and Ben Tate will be back healthy next season bringing back the best RB tandem in the NFL. Owen Daniels just came off a pro bowl year he was ranked the 5th best TE last year. Andre Johnson the 2nd best WR in the NFL some still argue hes number 1 he was playing at a really high level the last 7 games of the season getting 1100 yards. They got DeAndre Hopkins the best REAL receiver in the draft this will help them in the position they have been needing for the past 3 years. If Johnson can play at the level he played at in the last 7 games of the season and DeAndre Hopkins contributes right away and the Texans can involve Foster more in the passing game this would be the key to the Texans superbowl run. I think they will do just that.

    well of course the favorites could very well be the teams that won there division last year, but it rarely happens that all of the division winners repeat, but some do. i think the favorite will be in the afc east,, new england, dah, west, denver, dah, north baltimore, and south, houston, with cin as wild card, but they may be the north winner, also indy could be a wild card or division winner this year,, the afc surprise teams could be miami and pitt. the nfc east i think the giants come back, and dall as a wild card, the south will have atlanta as fav, but dont count out the saints, the north, well i think the packers got it covered, and minesota, or chic wild card, the west will be either the 49 ers or seattle as winners, i like seattle, but the 49 ers are primed for a deep playoff run. who really knows, but going by last year this seems to be logical

    NFC - Green Bay and San Francisco will be the top two seeds...

    AFC - Denver and New England appear to be the favorites here, although Houston and Baltimore are right on their trail...
