Top 10 Team to watch in 2011-12 NFL Season

This is my fourth BLOG ON on 2011-12 NFL Season. In this blog you will see the predictions for all 30 teams . How they will do in this season.

Here are ten teams to watch this NFL season…

1. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots won 14 games last season, best in the NFL. They return unanimous MVP Tom Brady, along with an offensive line and skill positions that saw vast improvements through free agency.The defense is as good as always, even if there are many new faces in new places. Bill Belichick knows how to build a defense, and the way he uses Albert Haynesworth and Andre Carter on the defensive line has us all intrigued.New England last missed the playoffs in 2008, when Tom Brady went down with a knee injury. They won't be on the outside looking in this year.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs might be an easy target for those who want to pick a team from the 2010 playoffs who will not repeat. But look around the division, which team is more talented top to bottom than the Chiefs?

Some may say the San Diego Chargers, but I have serious trust issues with Charger head coach Norv Turner. San Diego has gotten off to notoriously slow starts under Turner, and they also feature a defense that has major holes on the defensive line and at linebacker.Back to Kansas City: this team is better than the 2010 version that won 10 games. Matt Cassel is a year smarter, the offensive line is better and the talent at wide receiver is deeper.San Diego will push Kansas City for the division, but they are not good enough to take it just yet.

3. Baltimore Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers represented the AFC North last year and made it all the way to the Super Bowl. Worth noting is the fact that the Steelers have failed to make the playoffs the last two times they made a Super Bowl appearance.The Baltimore Ravens are poised to make a run at the AFC North this season. The offensive line has been improved with the addition of Bryant McKinnie at left tackle, which moves Michael Oher to his natural position of right tackle. The secondary should see an upgrade with Jimmy Smith at cornerback opposite Cary Williams and Chris Carr.Baltimore has the talent to overtake Pittsburgh in the AFC North, if the offensive line comes together. If McKinnie fails to drop weight and play motivated football, Baltimore could struggle.

4. Houston Texans

The Houston Texans are ready to take the AFC South from the Indianapolis Colts after their nine-year run of dominance in the division.The health of Peyton Manning certainly helps shift the power to the Texans, but they were ready to take the division before the extent of Manning's injury was known.Houston is loaded on offense, with a top-tier quarterback in Matt Schaub, the 2010 NFL rushing leader in Arian Foster and one of the best wide receivers the NFL has today in Andre Johnson. Points should come easily in Houston.The defense is remade now that Wade Phillips and his 3-4 defense are in town. Phillips has been masterful at beating Manning during his days with the San Diego Chargers.

 5. San Diego Chargers

Some may think the Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders or even the New York Jets would lay claim to this spot...but they don't. It's the San Diego Chargers who will be the second new team in the AFC playoff picture.Why San Diego and not the Jets? San Diego is better on the offensive line, better at wide receiver, equal at running back, better at quarterback and plays in a weaker division.

The Jets will face issues on the offensive line and at wide receiver all season. There's also the lingering issue of who will rush the passer.
