Work is busy, so I don't really have time to go in depth. I will have picks on Friday/Saturday, and will try to follow my normal schedule of Power Rankings on Tuesday/Wednesday and Picks.
Some notes: yes, I think the 4 AFC Division Winners repeat, and 5 overall. I see 8 teams going back to the playoffs. Carolina might be the most surprising, but I think people are way overstating the loss of marginal WR and DBs, and replacing them with marginal WR and DBs.
