Right now, it looks like a two horse race...Bengals and Colts! Bengals have a huge advantage in the running game, Colts a slight advantage on the defensive side, both have great receivers. I think it will come down to Manning vs Palmer...play 10 games and it could end up 5-5! The Ravens are the unknown factor...that defense is the same but when not forced to play 3/4 of every game, they look a lot more impressive! McNair is still adjusting, he has great receivers (Mason is simply as solid as they come) and a solid and deep running game...they were lucky yesterday (I saw the whole game) but they trust McNair and that's such a big deal for a team that had quarterbacks who should have been in semi-pro ball since Trent...if McNair settles in and they stay injury-free, look for vast improvement in the second half of the season and a solid playoff run!
