A tale of two divisions

Had Seattle brought back Matt Hasselbeck, I would pick them to win the NFC West again.

Without Hasselbeck, the Seahawks seem like a long shot. As much as it sickens me to pick them, the St. Louis Rams look like the favorites. Years of failure gave them an opportunity patiently to stock up on talent through the draft. They have a settled starter at quarterback, as opposed to the question marks hanging over the position in the rest of the division.

Now that Hasselbeck is in Tennessee, the Titans are my pick to win the AFC South. Indianapolis needs to show they can play without Peyton Manning. Jacksonville just canned David Garrard, its longtime starting quarterback. And Houston is... Houston, perpetual disappointers.

I like Hasselbeck's odds of making the playoffs a lot better than Seattle's.
