Houston Texans
How Deshaun Watson progresses upon his return from his season-ending ACL tear will determine just how much the Texans can improve upon last year’s 4-12 campaign. Head coach Bill O’Brien already plans to cater his system to the quarterback’s unique skill set, cheap nike nfl jerseys china per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. With Houston’s additions of Senio Kelemete, Zach Fulton, and Seantrel Henderson, Watson won’t play behind a ramshackle offensive line. Meanwhile, a healthy J.J. Watt can make a dangerous defense even better. The Texans won’t be given too much time to jell, though, since they face the Patriots in Foxborough to open the season.
Prediction: 8-8
Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck has yet to throw an NFL-sized football after last year’s shoulder surgery, according to Albert Breer of new nike nfl jerseys cheap The MMQB. His health should be the franchise’s the No. 1 priority, but the glacial pace of his recovery should have the Colts worried. The team has been built around his availability, and no one is exactly sure when he’ll take the field again. The Colts don’t have enough surrounding talent to offset mediocre to below-average quarterback play, as they demonstrated last season. buy nike nfl jerseys cheap A Thursday night meeting with the Patriots brings intrigue since the Colts wanted to hire Josh McDaniels as their head coach before he backed out of the agreement and returned to New England.
Prediction: 5-11
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars exceeded all realistic expectations last season by making the AFC Championship Game. Their defense is downright nasty. Leonard Fournette provides the offense with an identity. How much Jacksonville improves and how far it can go this year will come down to Blake Bortles’ maturation and help from the skill positions. The Jaguars took a few free-agent risks by signing Donte Moncrief, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Niles Paul. This group must come together after losing Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns and Marcedes Lewis. Jacksonville will be tested during its regular trip to London when the Jaguars “host” the Eagles in an early contender for regular season game of the year. nike nfl jerseys cheap paypal
Prediction: 10-6
Tennessee Titans
The Titans didn’t fire former head coach Mike Mularkey after a playoff appearance and hire Mike Vrabel to maintain the status quo. This is a team gunning for an AFC South crown. It’s capable of doing so as long as Marcus Mariota improves upon last season’s 13-to-15 touchdown-to-interception ratio and cheap nfl nike jerseys china Derrick Henry proves he’s a true lead back. The organization also added Malcolm Butler and Dion Lewis this offseason to improve its defense and offense, respectively. In a fun twist, the Titans will travel to London for the first time to face the Chargers.
