French pastry.
It's a bird; a skylark, specifically.

Completely disagree. I think this Raiders team is a lot better than everyone thinks it is. I'm not as high on them as a year ago, but I think this squad has a sub-par, but passable, defense, and an offense that's set to explode in 2018.
I am suprised to see the Titans up there though. I think they're ready, but not a lot of people are pegging them as a playoff squad.

Titans are an average team. The reason I have them making the playoffs (as of now) is because Mariota has the potential to expand despite his mediocre season and with Michael Vrabel as Head-Couch, the Titans could at least replicate their results. I suspect he can build a decent defense that will give the offensive less stress.

Decent defenses take time. Your prediction begs us to believe he accomplishes this overnight. I don't buy it.

It could happen. The Rams are packed with top notch guys on one-year contracts, so they can afford to take chances.
The Chargers have dealt with the apparent weaknesses, and Phil has a couple good years left.
I suspect all three of these teams will make it to the playoffs this year although, I don think the Eagles have a good team for years to come. That last part might have some bias in given I am an Eagles fan.
I'll make my bold prediction as of 7/27 as who will be in the playoffs although, I expect it to not be perfect and I'm not an expert on this given I don't watch as must as others would:
AFC:
Patriots
Steelers
Jaguars
Chargers
Raiders
Titans
NFC:
Eagles
Vikings
Packers
Rams
49ers
Saints

If I recall, you're a Falcon's fan, correct? I won't lie to you, deciding the winner(s) of the NFC South will be the most difficult in the NFC. You got three good QBs and teams respectively. But fear not, I'm sure while your Falcons dive, my Eagles will soar

NFC South QBs:
2 NFL MVPs
1 Super Bowl MVP
3 1st overall picks
975-492 TD-INT Ratio
I'd say that's pretty good.

Please never refer to Drew Brees as in the GOAT conversation again, but that is fair. I mean, Cam and Ryan got the MVPs. If Winston turns out then they'll have 4 hella QBs. But Winston's about to have his job taken, which is kinda sad, because I really wanted to see him play the Titans again. Because Jameis is incapable of playing a competitive game against Marcus. That is fact.

It's a bit early to declare Winston's career as over.
