AFC South Quick Preview

1. Indianapolis Colts - 11-5 - Peyton Manning is fine. The Colts will have to start the Mike Pollack era early, but they had to do the same thing with Tony Ugoh last year. The defense is still the fastest in the league.
Best Player: QB Peyton Manning
Most Underrated: MLB Gary Brackett
Breakout Candidate: WR Anthony Gonzalez

2. Jacksonville Jaguars - 10-6 - Yes, they're a good team. No, they haven't caught up with the Colts. Their Offensive Line is somewhat suspect and the team is relying on two rookies to provide a pass rush.
Best Player: CB Rashean Mathis
Most Underrated: MLB Mike Peterson
Breakout Candidate: OLB Clint Ingram

3. Houston Texans - 8-8 - They have a lot of extremely talented young players and have begun to establish a decent Offensive Line. Not having CB Dunta Robinson really hurts a potential breakout team.
Best Player: MLB DeMeco Ryans
Most Underrated: WR Andre Johnson
Breakout Candidate: QB Matt Schaub and DT Amobi Okoye

4. Tennessee Titans - 7-9 - Slowly but surely America has started to realize who the real MVP of this team is: DT Albert Haynesworth. The offense needs QB Vince Young to develop.
Best Player: DT Albert Haynesworth
Most Underrated: OLB David Thornton
Breakout Candidate: MLB Ryan Fowler
