2009 NFL Preview (AFC South)

Tennessee Titans RB LenDale White recently claimed his reason for losing 30lbs was giving up tequilla shots. In honor of this move I will give out 30 shots on his behalf, 1 for each pound. (8 shots)The Indianapolis Colts will make the playoffs for the 8th straight season. (9 shots)Jacksonville QB, David Garrard will only throw 9 td passes in what will be a miserable season for the Jaguars. (10 shots)The Titans might win 10 games and not make the playoffs. (3 shots)It's year 3 of the Gary Kubiak Era in Houston and if history is any barometer the Texans will win the AFC South.

Predicted Order of Finish
1. Houston Texans - Yr 3 of the Kubiak Era = division title.
2. Indianapolis Colts* - Will win 10 games, again.
3. Tennessee Titans* - Tequilla shots are on LenDale.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars - Just a dull team.

End Game

If Matt Schaub can stay healthy for the entire season then Houston has a great chance to win the 1st division title in it's 8 yr existance. Condidering he has missed 9 starts in the last 2 seasons that's a big IF. The Colts have a new coach and no Marivn Harrison but still should get to the playoffs and go farther than Houston. Tennessee will miss Albert Haynesworth on defense and not score enough to offset the loss. Jacksonville is boring and will wollow with the also-rans of the conference.

- Tomorrow NFC East
