Tennessee is two weeks away from being a totally brand new team.
* rookie Rusty Smith - who would be lucky to make it as a back-up qb in the Arena leauge will be replaced by Kerry Collins - who's calf injury sit-out has allowed time for the injury on his throwing finger to heal.
* Kenny Britt will be back. He's a true #1 reciever - the other recievers besides him and Moss simply can't run or catch.
* The Titans get back their two starting D-Line members back next week. Their defensive play has been in the sh!tter with those line injuries.
* Chris Johnson only ran for five yards last week - but he got hurt in the first quarter when he got the wind knocked out of him - and by the time he was ready to go mid-way through the 2nd quarter - they were behind and needed to pass.
As for the Colts - they have Payton Manning - they're tough in the dome - and I assume they'll be a lot more healthy by then... and if not, all the scrubs will have more playing time in them.
But yeah, the Jags or Texans will get rolled at home if they weasel out a division win.

The 2nd place teams in the East and North are going to be the two wildcards. If those two teams are the Patriots and Ravens, for example, they'll beat either Indy or Tennessee, unless those two turn it around in a hurry.
Another division worthy of being its own thread for how horrible it is is the NFC West. Could 7-9 really win a division? How ridiculous would it be for 11-5 Green Bay to go to 7-9 St. Louis for a wildcard game?
