Baltimore Ravens (-200) – The Ravens might be hefty favorites to get in the playoffs, but we don’t see how they’re left out with this roster in two out of three tries. Even if starting quarterback Joe Flacco goes down, his backup, Marc Bulger has all sorts of experience as a starter on a good team in his St. Louis days. The rushing attack has two monsters, and both RBs Ray Rice and Willis McGahee can rush the ball 30 times every week if need be. The wide receivers are deeper than ever with two stars (Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason) and two potential starters (Donte Stallworth and Mark Clayton). The bottom line: There isn’t a team in the AFC North that has this type of depth. There’s no way Baltimore doesn’t win at least nine games and get into the second season once again.

Atlanta Falcons (-120) – The first thing to really take note of with the Falcons is that they are fighting with probably just three teams (NFC East #1 and #2 and NFC North #2) for two playoff spots. Many forget that this Atlanta team won nine games a year ago. QB Matt Ryan is only improving, and the biggest deficiency on the team was addressed with the signing of defensive back Dunta Robinson. Parlay all of that with a relatively easy schedule that should feature plenty of wins against fellow NFC South rivals, and the playoffs seems are a very good possibility. Atlanta could challenge in the division, but catching the Saints doesn’t seem overly likely. Even if that doesn’t happen though, the Falcons are a force to be reckoned with.

Oakland Raiders (+350) - Call us crazy, but we think the Raiders could find a way to win enough games to challenge for one of the Wild Card slots in the AFC. If Oakland had gotten the type of play out of any of its quarterbacks that Jason Campbell gave to the Redskins last year, it would have been a prospective postseason team. If the Pittsburgh Steelers are down this year as many expect, whoever finishes second in the AFC West is going to be right there with the third team in the AFC East and the second and third teams in the AFC South for the last playoff spot. Head coach Tom Cable has plenty of tools to work with in his arsenal this year. The linebacking corps has been upgraded dramatically from a unit that was competitive, as Kamerion Wimbley and Rolando McClain both have Pro Bowl potential. Look at this schedule… The entire NFC West is beatable, as are games against Miami, Houston, Jacksonville, and two with both Denver and Kansas City. Don’t discount the silver and black.
