AFC EAST

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH 1. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

3. BUFFALO BILLS

2. MIAMI DOLPHINS

4. NEW YORK JETS

DIVISION PREVIEW The AFC East s ll belongs to the New England Patriots. ‘Deflategate, Spygate,’ and the Tim Tebow experiment have only demonstrated just how determined coach Bill Belichick is to keep winning championships. And if quarterback Tom Brady’s suspension changes, for the be er, the Pats could steamroll their way right into the postseason. Even if the problema c secondary becomes a major weakness, and New England’s defensive flaws are exposed, the scrappy Patriots could s ll manage to win the East tle and possibly represent the en re AFC in the Super Bowl again. The Miami Dolphins must address many ques ons before they can ever hope to do as well this season. Will Ryan Tannehill con nue to progress and establish himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL? Will running back Lamar Miller and wide receiver DeVante Parker develop and become legi mate threats? Will the recent addi ons from the NFL dra and free agency bolster their defense? If Tannehill tanks, and the backfield doesn’t back him up, and the defensive line isn’t improved, the Dolphins won’t

AFC WEST

be able to hold their own against so many contenders in the incredibly compe ve AFC. The New York Jets will also have a lot to prove in 2015. Quarterback Geno Smith, or Ryan Fitzpatrick, will need to show they can become the defini ve answer for an offense that holds back one of the best defenses in the NFL. On that side of the ball, coach Todd Bowles could easily have a team that looks as solid on the field as it does on paper. If Smith or Fitzpatrick fail, and receivers Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall wash out, even with one of the league’s top defenses, there’s no way the Jets can ever be in such a hotly contested playoff picture. Facing the Patriots without Tom Brady, the Buffalo Bills could get off to a strong start this year. But if coach Rex Ryan makes the same kind of mistakes in Buffalo as he did in New York, he’ll prove once and for all that he simply isn’t capable of overseeing an effec ve offense. Even if Ryan’s defense lives up to its poten al, and running back LeSean McCoy carries the team on his back, without a dependable quarterback, the Bills have no shot at a wild card.

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH 1. DENVER BRONCOS

3. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

2. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

4. OAKLAND RAIDERS

DIVISION PREVIEW While two ci es fight over them, the San Diego Chargers might have a brilliant, outstanding season. In 2014, quarterback Philip Rivers threw for 31 touchdowns and 4,286 yards. In what may be his last year here, he’ll have a stronger O-line, wide receiver Stevie Johnson, and rookie running back Melvin Gordon to help balance the offense. San Diego filled holes on their defense, too. Head coach Mike McCoy might just have the talent he needs to make the Chargers seem unstoppable in 2015. The clock is also cking for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. New head coach Gary Kubiak will probably take some of the offensive burden off Manning and develop a bigger running game. Even with a coaching change, however, online football be ors can usually expect Manning to deliver the goods during the regular season, and Denver’s pass rush-heavy offense should be a force as well. The Broncos have won four consecu ve AFC West tles, and it would be historic for them to make the playoffs five seasons in a row. But this year, the race for a Super Bowl ring may be 10

2015 OFFICIAL OFFSHORE FOOTBALL BETTING GUIDE

2015_OOBG_Magazine.indd 10

more of a struggle. In their first four weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs will face Denver in a Thursday night home game and hit the road to ba le the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinna Bengals. It gets easier a er that, but much of coach Andy Reid’s luck will depend on running back Jamaal Charles staying healthy. The Chiefs get high marks for stacking the deck with smart moves in free agency to reload key posi ons, and there’s a lot of op mism this me around. Unfortunately, some of the drama in Kansas City’s locker room could derail them. The Oakland Raiders have only won a total of 11 games in the last three seasons. This year, with a less brutal schedule, they are hoping to begin another era under new coach Jack Del Rio. Despite his disappoin ng run in Jacksonville, Del Rio has quite a resume. He was the linebackers coach for the Super Bowl-winning Ravens, and the defensive coordinator for the Broncos, where he also took over as head coach when John Fox was ill. Del Rio has added many impressive new players to create the tough style of defensive and oﬀensive a acks he’s known for.

AFC NORTH

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH 1. PITTSBURGH STEELERS

3. CINCINNATI BENGALS

2. BALTIMORE RAVENS

4. CLEVELAND BROWNS

DIVISION PREVIEW There isn’t a clear favorite. Despite the s ﬀ opposi on here, the Pi sburgh Steelers might pull out ahead, be the obvious champ in this division, and make it to the Super Bowl. Much of Pi sburgh’s success will ride on the first round picks they have invested in linebackers. With a young secondary, in recent years, the once notorious Steel Curtain has become a disaster, with one of the poorest pass defenses in the en re NFL. Aside from his suspensions, running back Le’Veon Bell will need to stay healthy and repeat last year’s performance to provide the kind of support Ben Roethlisberger and company will need if the Steelers want to advance to the postseason. The Cincinna Bengals should be able to get there, but how far can they go? Overall, some analysts think the Bengals could have one of the most talented rosters in the league this year. A lot of the responsibility will be riding on quarterback Andy Dalton’s shoulders. If Dalton can complete enough passes and minimize the intercep ons, this me around, Cincinna could actually be a legi mate contender in the contest for

AFC SOUTH

the Lombardi Trophy. Facing an extremely challenging schedule, and increasing opposi on in the AFC, the Bal more Ravens could mount an impressive effort this season. But the pressure will be on quarterback Joe Flacco to earn his Super Bowl-sized paycheck and cover for an inexperienced receiver corps, and down on the ground, running back Jus n Forse will have to repeat last year’s performance for them to mount a formidable running game. Defensively, it’s doub ul that Bal more’s front seven will be mighty enough to make up for a secondary that has o en looked ineffec ve. With many ques ons s ll up in the air, on both sides of the ball, the Cleveland Browns could easily finish last in this division again. To lead the Browns to the playoffs for the first me since 2002, a new coaching staff will have to find a way to keep up in one of the NFL’s toughest divisions, with a team of youngsters. Quarterback Johnny Manziel must shine despite a crew that has failed to impress, and the defense will have to immediately transform itself into one of the best units in the league.

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH 1. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

3. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

2. HOUSTON TEXANS

4. TENNESSEE TITANS

DIVISION PREVIEW Like last year, the Indianapolis Colts should be the leaders in the AFC South. The only team in the division to reach the playoffs, it’s hard to imagine any of their opponents keeping pace with this offense in 2015. Andrew Luck and his friends averaged nearly 29 points per game last season, and they could be even more potent with the addi on of wide receivers Andre Johnson and Phillip Dorse , and veteran running back Frank Gore. Concerns about the NFL’s 22nd ranked defense were addressed with the acquisi on of pass rushers like defensive ends Trent Cole and Henry Anderson, and safety Dwight Lowery. For the Houston Texans to have any chance of bea ng the Colts, their defense will have to be one of the league’s best. The team’s first round dra pick, cornerback Kevin Johnson, could be a huge boost to a unit that only finished 21st against the pass last year. With the new players, plus a fully recovered Jadeveon Clowney, Houston may not have a problem. Their offense is another ma er. Will they miss star wide receiver Andre Johnson? Who will ul mately be the quarterback this year? Ryan Malle or Brian Hoyer?

The Tennessee Titans could possibly have an improved team in 2015, but much of their success this season will likely depend on their new offense. “New” is the key word here. To revamp their offense, the Titans signed quarterback Marcus Mariota and wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, two rookies that will require me to adjust to the NFL. Dismissed a er drug-related charges, Green-Beckham didn’t play his last year of college football. To add upgrades to their defense, Tennessee relied on free agents. This unit should now have some of the depth it lacked last season, and be more muscular overall, but like the offense, it’s also quite young. The Jacksonville Jaguars may finally put some numbers up on the scoreboard in 2015. A er surrendering 71 sacks in 2014, the Jaguars have added some he to their offensive line, and hopefully, be er protec on for young quarterback Blake Bortles. Bortles will also have a talented new target, ght end Julius Thomas, and Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon to help him. Jacksonville’s defense, however, s ll has some major holes to fill, so it’s unlikely the Jags will climb the ladder. OOBG.COM

OUTLOOK

Three teams will not make the playoffs from the AFC North this year, and there are obvious obstacles in the way for the Baltimore Ravens. In past seasons, Baltimore’s defense has often kept them competitive in games that the offense couldn’t manage to win. In 2015, this unit will be put to the test. The Ravens face a difficult schedule and some very tough AFC opponents this season. Baltimore should sport a fairly solid defense again, but in terms of overall talent, they are probably only the third best team in their division. This squad will be missing several valuable players, including outside rusher Pernell McPhee and defensive tackle Haloti Ngata. The Ravens failed to pick up enough replacements in free agency trades, so it’s doubtful that their front seven will be mighty enough to make up for a secondary that has often looked ineffective. Signing safety Kendrick Lewis should help. Without Torrey Smith, the offense will be hindered by a mostly young receiver corps. If he wants to ever earn his enormous salary, quarterback Joe Flacco must have another dependable receiver besides Steve Smith, Sr. to add some new weapons to Flacco’s arsenal, the Ravens drafted WR Breshad Perriman and TE Maxx Williams. They also picked USC’s leading rusher, Javorius Allen, to provide some support for running back Justin Forsett. Last year, Forsett finished the season with a career high of 1,266 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, but he will turn 30 in October. It’s critical for Baltimore to have a dependable RB waiting in the wings, or the Ravens won’t be able to run the ball. In a division where toughness is a necessity, Baltimore does have a superb O-line, Joe Flacco, and a solid defense. AVG MOV: TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

The Buffalo Bills might start 2015 off with a bang. Going head-to-head with the New England Patriots at the start of the season could be a different story without Pats quarterback Tom Brady in the game. In this matchup, online football bettors might see a lively contest between an inferior air attack and a superior running game. Buffalo’s new head coach, Rex Ryan, is well known for favoring the style he calls the “ground and pound.” After making a trade with Philadelphia, Ryan will be able to deploy new running back LeSean McCoy, or rely on fullback Jerome Felton, and for Buffalo’s passing game, they will have a fresh target with Percy Harvin in the receiver corps. If the Bills can rack up enough victories in the first seven games of their schedule, including a win over the Brady-less Patriots, they might possibly sneak into the postseason. This could be quite a stretch, though. The defense would have to live up to its full potential, LeSean McCoy would probably need to carry the offense, and Buffalo’s quarterback of the moment must turn out to be a solid game manager. If third year quarterback E.J. Manuel fails to win the job, they also have Matt Cassel. Given the chance, Cassel may prove to be a poor starter. Even if a running back does pull the load, without a dependable quarterback driving the wagon, the Bills will chase a dead end. If Ryan orchestrates the same type of strategy here that he used with the Jets, the reality may be that the defense will keep the team competitive in games long enough for the offense to blow them. The playoffs? A more sensible goal might be a winning season. AVG MOV: TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK

Can the Cincinnati Bengals finally turn themselves into legitimate contenders in the AFC? Coach Marvin Lewis has guided the Bengals to four straight playoff appearances from 2011-2014, a first in the franchise’s history. Can they advance beyond the divisional playoffs this time? If they do, will quarterback Andy Dalton crumble under the pressure, throw interceptions, and only complete a portion of his passes? Overall, this team has some of the league’s most capable players, and Dalton is one of only four quarterbacks in NFL history to have thrown for over 3,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. “The Red Rifle,” as Cincinnati fans call him, does have his hot streaks, but when the heat is on, his throwing skills have been known to suffer. Dalton’s recent six-year contract extension could be worth as much as $115 million if team performance-based incentives are met. So he should be properly motivated. During free agency the Bengals primarily focused on keeping their team intact and hanging on to key players. Veteran linebacker Rey Mauluga signed a three-year contract, they secured the services of guard Clint Boling, defensive end Michael Johnson returns to the team from Tampa Bay to fill a much-needed slot, and they added Green Bay linebacker A.J. Hawk. From their draft picks, the defense got cornerback Josh Shaw, safety Derron Smith, and TCU linebacker Paul Dawson. The offense should benefit from the addition of two new offensive tackles, Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher, and tight end C.J. Uzomah. Cincinnati should certainly make the playoffs again. The question is, how far will they go? With Cincinnati’s impressive roster, online football bettors should not be surprised to see this talented team represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

OUTLOOK As they head into the 2015 season, the Cleveland Browns have a lot of unanswered questions remaining on both sides of the ball. In the best possible scenario for Cleveland’s offense, Johnny Manziel plays to full potential, wins the job, compensates for an underperforming crew, and gives the Browns a franchise quarterback they can be proud of. The team did make a serious effort in the NFL Draft to provide Johnny Football with the kind of weapons he would need to do that. They acquired versatile running back Duke Johnson, two tight ends, and wide receiver Vince Mayle. Signing Brian Hartline could make up for the loss of suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon. Adding 35 year-old quarterback Josh McCown may bring some maturity to this young offense. To upgrade their defense, the Browns drafted nose tackle Danny Shelton and Washington State defensive end Xavier Cooper. Cleveland no longer has Buster Skrine, but they drafted cornerbacks Justin Gilbert and Ifo Ekpre Olamu, safety Ibraheim Campbell, signed cornerback Tramon Williams, and added defensive end Randy Starks to improve their pass rush. To succeed in this division, they will also need to develop the ability to stop a strong running game. If Justin Gilbert fails to live up to the potential of his draft status, or their other recent picks don’t pan out, and the quarterback position collapses as a result of the poor supporting cast, Cleveland could easily finish last in the AFC North with a dismal 4-12 season. The other three teams in this division all made it to the playoffs in 2014. Unless they set the world on fire, the Browns will resume their position at the bottom of the heap and coaches will lose their jobs. -2.4

The Denver Broncos are a talented team, but they may no longer be the dominating force in the AFC West. Expect to see new head coach Gary Kubiak take some of the responsibility for the offense away from aging quarterback Peyton Manning and develop a more robust game on the ground. Much of the team’s success will still ride on Manning. If he can play anywhere close to his pre-November form of last year, the Broncos could be a Super Bowl contender again. The O-line will also need to step up. In addition to rebuilding the offensive line, the Broncos are trying to decide how to divide spots in the defensive line as they shift to a 3-4 strategy under new defense coordinator Wade Phillips. Last season with a 4-3 defense, Denver usually had seven defensive linemen active on game day and frequently had eight on the roster overall. However, with a three-man defensive front, most 3-4 teams keep only five defensive linemen active on game days and may have just six on the roster. That leaves much to sort out this season. Former Kansas City Chiefs lineman Vance Walker will add to the mix in what could be a very versatile defensive front. Walker, Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe, Sylvester Williams, Antonio Smith, and Marvin Austin, Jr. have all said they may play multiple positions. Smith’s status will depend on his investigation. Denver’s pass-rush-heavy unit will carry a big share of the load. The Broncos do have one of the best edge-rushing quartets in the entire NFL. The AFC West is still Denver’s division to lose. Once again, it all hinges on Manning. If he plays like he did last December, the Broncos won’t make the playoffs.

OUTLOOK Which quarterback will start for the upstart Texans? Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, or Tom Savage? Head coach Bill O’Brien apparently has some faith in one of these men because the Texans did not draft a quarterback. Hoyer was signed during the offseason, but he has failed to demonstrate the kind of talent that would inspire such faith. Ryan Mallett might have been a first round pick in the 2012 draft if not for the marijuana rumors that plagued him, and Houston’s pick in last year’s draft, Tom Savage, may actually be capable of the job, but he would probably have to put on an incredible show in preseason to get the opportunity. All three should be happy Houston has leading receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins had a breakout season last year. To add more firepower, the Texans drafted wide receiver Jaelen Strong and signed Cecil Shorts III. If he is healthy, much of the responsibility for Houston’s offense will likely go to running back Arian Foster. After returning from injury, Foster made a great comeback in 2014, rushing for 1,246 yards and eight touchdowns. Second-year player Alfred Blue has played well in Foster’s absence. Houston’s defense has often saved them, and it could be even better this year. In the draft, the Texans selected Kevin Johnson, one of the top cornerbacks, and outstanding inside linebacker, Benardrick McKinney. They also signed Vince Wilfork, one of the premier defensive tackles in the league, and notorious defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will return, so Houston should have a very fierce top ten defense. But an NFL team cannot really succeed without a franchise quarterback. Both Mallett and Savage need experience and Hoyer will only do so well. The Texans may remain mediocre.

OUTLOOK Last season, the Indianapolis Colts claimed their second AFC South title in a row. In 2014, the Colts were the only team in this division to reach the playoffs. Most of their competitors have made significant free agent acquisitions and added some exciting new draft picks, too, so this year could present Indianapolis with some new challenges. Their offense has good reason to be optimistic. The Colts averaged nearly 29 points per game and finished third in the NFL in total offense, and they could be even more potent in 2015. Quarterback Andrew Luck will have some powerful new weapons to deploy. The Colts signed Andre Johnson and Duron Carter, so drafting Phillip Dorset was a surprise, considering their depth at wide receiver. Veteran running back Frank Gore backed out of a deal with the Eagles to join this crew. In an effort to upgrade the league’s 22nd-ranked defense, the Colts signed pass-rushers Trent Cole and Kendall Langford, safety Dwight Lowery, and drafted Stanford defensive end Henry Anderson, and cornerback D’Joun Smith. Coach Pagano’s new defense will be put to the ultimate test when the Colts face the Patriots. Indianapolis will surely be hoping that with Frank Gore and Andre Johnson, their offense can overwhelm New England’s defense after it lost both starting cornerbacks in free agency. If the Colts could win this important matchup, it will be a huge step in the team’s development, and an indicator for the rest of the season. Much of the club’s success will ride on the improvements to the defense. It’s difficult to imagine that many of their rivals will be able to keep pace with this offense. The Colts should still be the class act of the AFC South.

OUTLOOK Poor Blake Bartles got quite a shock in 2014. After the team promised to carefully groom him, early in the season, this rookie suddenly became the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former 1st overall NFL draft pick had very little support, and it was obvious every time Jacksonville hit the field. By the end of the year, the Jaguars finished dead last in the league in points per game and second to last in total yards and pass yards per game. To help their young novice quarterback, the Jaguars did get him an excellent target, tight end Julius Thomas. In his last two years with the Denver Broncos, Thomas made 24 touchdown catches. To bolster their poor rushing attack, Jacksonville drafted T.J. Yeldon, who ran for more than 3,000 yards at Alabama. Bortles desperately needed better protection last year, too. After surrendering a league-high 71 sacks in 2014, the Jaguars may have added three valuable new starters on the offensive line with Stefen Wisniewski, Jermey Parnell, and A.J. Cann. The Jaguars clearly hoped to take a bold step toward fortifying their scrawny defense by drafting defensive end Dante Fowler. As an outside linebacker, Fowler was an explosive edge player for the Florida Gators. Unfortunately, after an ACL injury in his very first practice session, Fowler will be out for the entire season. With these upgrades, the defense appears to be moving in the right direction, and the team had a terrific draft, but it will easily take a couple of years for most of these new players to develop. Jacksonville’s anemic offense could show dramatic improvement, but the defense still has major weaknesses, so it’s pretty hard to see them moving up in their division. -10.2

RECORD

Andy Reid inherited an impressive roster when he became head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, and he and GM John Dorsey have brought in the kind of talent that could turn this club into a major contender in the AFC. To add to quarterback Alex Smith’s arsenal, they signed Jeremy Maclin. Maclin was the number one receiver for the Eagles last season. Smith could use more support, but RB Jamaal Charles, Maclin, and tight end Travis Kelce are the kind of dangerous weapons he needs. After a breakout 2014 season, Kelce will surely want to build on his success. Kelce caught 67 passes for 862 yards and five touchdowns and will likely become an integral part of Kansas City’s offense. Charles is currently the NFL’s all-time leader in career yards per carry averages among running backs, with 5.5 YPC. If Eric Berry returns from his treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, along with KC’s formidable front seven, the Chiefs could have one of the most intimidating defenses in the entire league. Safety Ron Parker returns, and former Oakland safety Tyvon Branch may fill in for Berry. Outstanding outside linebacker Justin Houston is back to mount another massive attack. Last year, Houston was the NFL’s leader in sacks. Unfortunately, the Chiefs start with a brutal lineup. The NFL did the Chiefs no favors with the first four-week stretch of their season. This schedule includes a Thursday night home game against the Denver Broncos and road games with the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals. Even though the Chiefs are a better team than they’ve been in a decade, it’s hard to see the Chiefs starting off better than 2-2. After a rocky beginning, it should get easier for them.

OUTLOOK Desperation creates drama. The 46th NFL season for the Miami Dolphins should provide fans with plenty of excitement. The Fins made a huge splash in the offseason by signing one of the most sensational players to come along in years. They needed a game-changing player, and now they have one. Ndamukong Suh got the most lucrative contract ever awarded to a defensive player, and he might just be worth it to them, even if it compromises their future cap space. Coach Joe Philbin seems to be saying, “Try deflating this, Tom Brady.” The other teams in the AFC East have improved to the point where there may be too many contenders for Miami to even dream of snagging a wildcard spot. So the best the Dolphins can really do, is inflict as much damage as possible, by addressing their interior pass-rush needs. Lacking the kind of offensive firepower that can actually compete with teams like their division champs, the New England Patriots, it’s easy to forget that Philbin was the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers when they went to the Super Bowl. He doesn’t appear to have that kind of talent to work with these days. If the O-line can protect him, quarterback Ryan Tannehill will have to prove his critics are wrong and become one of the most outstanding quarterbacks in the NFL. A trade gives him a new target, wide receiver Kenny Sills, from the Saints. WR Devante Parker and running back Lamar Miller will have to shine as well if this offense is going to make any waves. If Tannehill struggles, and his backfield doesn’t deliver, an improved defense may not be enough to make a significant impact in the AFC East.

OUTLOOK One of the best perks of being the defending Super Bowl champions is that most online football bettors will consider them champions until they prove otherwise. They may be the league’s most consistent and successful club, but the New England Patriots will have to deal with a few changes this year. Unless their lawyers can find a loophole, the Pats will have to begin the season without the services of the franchise’s all-time greatest player. After the ‘Deflategate’ investigation, the NFL imposed a suspension on quarterback Tom Brady for four games, fined the team $1 million, and forfeited selections in the next two drafts. New England’s defense took a few hits as well. Losing Darrelle Revis, one of the league’s best cornerbacks, to the Jets may cost them a lot. The Patriots are also contesting this issue in court. Will adding CB Bradley Fletcher and DE Jabaal Sheard to this unit be enough to help them fend off their fiercest AFC East foes in 2015? If the secondary becomes a major weakness, New England’s defense could be exposed throughout the year. When Brady is back, along with Rob Gronkowski, he’ll have TE Scott Chandler, WR Brandon Gibson, and RB Travaris Cadet to help him win this division and fight off the infamous Super Bowl curse. This is still New England’s division. Coach Bill Belichick has shown fans that he will always find a way to excel in the crowded AFC and aim for the NFL championship. Even if it’s illegal. Brady and Belichick are the most successful quarterbackcoach combo in history. Together, they’ve won 160 regular season games, 21 postseason games, and appeared in six Super Bowls. A reunited Brady Bunch might lose only one game. TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK Just like the Dolphins, the Jets will need to make an extraordinary effort this season within the AFC East to be a contender in the end. No longer under coach Rex Ryan’s spell, the Jets will have a lot to prove this year. Geno Smith will have to demonstrate that he is worthy of the quarterback job. Otherwise, Ryan Fitzpatrick will have to do that. Signing James Carpenter to fortify the offensive line should help. Having a wide receiver like Brandon Marshall in their arsenal could make some magic happen. Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha claimed Marshall is “the toughest guy to bring down, one-on-one.” He can also be a handful off the field, however. Marshall’s infamous Borderline Personality Disorder has been a negative factor in locker rooms and legal troubles. For most of his career, new coach Todd Bowles specialized in defense, and his efforts to rebuild the Jets will reflect this. To upgrade the secondary, he signed some super cornerbacks. They added Buster Skrine, Antonio Cromartie, and brought Darrelle Revis back with a mega deal that may have to be settled with the New England Patriots, in court. Revis has trademarked the nickname for his spot, “Revis Island,” because he’s known for putting the league’s number one receivers out of business. Can this team’s roster possibly be as good on the gridiron as it looks on paper? Yes, it can. If Geno Smith or Ryan Fitzpatrick fail to ignite the offense, all of New York’s accomplishments will be riding on an attempt at having one of the strongest defenses in the entire NFL. The AFC is so brutal that unless the offense can set an acceptable standard, it’s unlikely that the Jets will make the playoffs. -7.4

Oakland

OUTLOOK With former Jacksonville Head Coach and Denver Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio in place, the entire Oakland Raiders staff got a reboot. Philadelphia’s quarterback coach Bill Musgrave is now the Offensive Coordinator and former Seattle linebackers coach Ken Norton, Jr. is the Defensive Coordinator. Norton promises to bring Seattle’s aggressive style of defense to Oakland, and sees Khalil Mack as a strong outside linebacker that he can build a squad around. The biggest question may be the secondary coverage. Another major concern is the current roster’s health. In spite of a sprained ankle and a MCL injury, quarterback Derek Carr finished his rookie season with 3,270 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, and became the first Oakland quarterback to start in all 16 games since Rich Gannon in 2002. Wide receiver Andre Holmes was the only deep threat on the roster last year, but Oakland made some big changes to stretch the field and Carr will have a solid trio to threaten defensive backs, deep down the field. Oakland’s running game must redeem itself, however. In 2014 their running backs ranked last in rushing yards with 1,240, last in touchdowns with four, and with 10 they tied for the most fumbles in the NFL. Running backs Trent Richardson and Latavius Murray may share the load. The Raiders will do some good things in 2015, but to say that they will take the next step is a bit of a fantasy. A 4-12 season is a sad but strong possibility, and Oakland may even need another high draft pick or two for the team to make a great leap in 2016. Add in the fact that Derek Carr is already dealing with injuries, and 2015 doesn’t look promising.

OUTLOOK In recent seasons, Coach Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled with an odd, almost bipolar dynamic. No one refers to the ‘Steel Curtain’ anymore except die-hard fans in Pittsburgh. While the defense has often been a disappointment, the offense has frequently exceeded expectations. 2014 saw record performances from their “Killer B’s,” the trio formed by wide receiver Antonio Brown, running back Le’Veon Bell, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben had one of the best seasons in his career. Roethlisberger scored less touchdowns and threw more interceptions than Aaron Rodgers, but he passed for 600 more yards. In his second NFL season, Bell had a total of 1,361 rushing yards and scored a total of 11 touchdowns, with eight of those on the ground. He was essential to an offense that averaged more than 27 points per game. The Steelers dramatically improved their rushing game last season, jumping 11 spots in the NFL rankings. With all five offensive linemen returning, as well as their top two tight ends, there is no reason to believe the Steelers won’t continue to claim yardage when Bell returns from suspension. Until then, they will have to rely on recently added DeAngelo Williams, or rotate Dri Archer and Josh Harris. In the NFL Draft, the Steelers mainly went for big name players from big name schools to stock a defense that desperately needs more muscle. They got high caliber talent, but youth is already an issue here, especially in the secondary. Last year, this unit only ranked 27th in the league against the pass. Linebackers coach Keith Butler was promoted to defensive coordinator, replacing Dick LeBeau. If Butler’s young secondary and new defense roster can shine in 2015, the Steelers could be unstoppable.

OUTLOOK Big things could happen if the San Diego Chargers can bounce back. Online bettors have every reason to expect a Rookie of the Year performance from their new running back, a breakout season for their top pass rusher, and the Chargers could mount a dramatic battle for the AFC West title. It’s entirely possible that Melvin Gordon, San Diego’s number one pick in this year’s draft, could hit the ground running, for more than 1,000 yards. Gordon led college football in rushing with 2,587 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2014, and with Philip Rivers manning the quarterback position, it’s probably a safe bet that this offense will put up big numbers in 2015. Last year, injuries held them back. Without their original starting running back, center, top receivers, outside linebacker, middle linebackers, and cornerbacks, they were hardly the same team. With a revamped O-line, Rivers as quarterback, and a healthy roster, they should have more depth and talent on both sides of the ball. San Diego’s other Melvin, Melvin Ingram, was considered to be one of the best pass rusher prospects in the 2012 NFL Draft. If Ingram stays healthy, this could be his best season. San Diego’s defense has looked thin in the past, but it has another legitimate star with sack master Corey Liuget. The Chargers now have some solid playmakers at linebacker and in the secondary, and they’ve made the necessary upgrades to compete for the division crown, which has belonged to Denver in the past. They may need at least 10 wins to do this. If their offense and defense can stay healthy and play at a high, consistent level, the Chargers will be on top and go deep into the playoffs.

Ken Whisenhunt, the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, is known for his work in offense. He spent three years as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator on the team that won Super Bowl XL. If Whisenhunt can manage to keep his job, he’ll have the chance to develop two very outstanding rookies. The starting gig may go to Zach Mettenberger, their 2014 NFL draft selection. At LSU, Mettenberger was the only quarterback to throw for more than 2,500 yards in back-to-back seasons, and he was also a two-time captain. Now, with their 2015 draft pick, Whisenhunt will also have Heisman Trophy winner, Marcus Mariota. In his first year playing for Chip Kelly’s Oregon offense, Mariota started in all 13 games, threw for 2,677 yards, and also rushed the ball 106 times for 752 yards and 5 touchdowns. In one game, he demonstrated his athletic versatility by catching a touchdown pass, throwing a touchdown pass, and then running for an 86-yard touchdown. Tennessee’s offense finished the season ranking a horrendous 30th in points scored, and it sorely needs a stronger receiver corps. Last year’s leaders were Delanie Walker with 890 yards and 4 touchdowns, and wide receiver Kendall Wright with 715 yards and 6 touchdowns. Signing Hakeem Nicks and Harry Douglas may help. Drafting talented but troubled Dorial Green-Beckham could be a gamble. Offensive tackle Jeremiah Poutasi could possibly start right away. Perhaps with Minnesota running back David Cobb and Alabama fullback Jalston Fowler, the Titans will be able to run the ball. Tennessee turned to free agency to help bolster the defense, adding linebacker Brian Orakpo, safety Da’Norris Searcy, and cornerback Perrish Cox. The Titans will be better in 2015. After going 2-14 last year, they have to be. AVG MOV: TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

DIVISION PREVIEW A er wheeling and dealing, Chip Kelly, Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, appears to have everything he wants. He even signed Tim Tebow. A er taking over a team that went 4–12 in 2012, Kelly led the Eagles to two 10–6 seasons and generated so many headlines with his offense that some fans may have overlooked the upgrades he made to rebuild the NFL’s 31st ranked pass defense, with cornerbacks Byron Maxwell, Walter Thurmond, and Eric Rowe. If quarterback Sam Bradford can carry out Kelly’s rapid-fire air a ack, all those moves will look strategic. With a 12-4 run in the 2014 regular season, the Dallas Cowboys almost made controversial owner and GM Jerry Jones look popular. Then Dallas let DeMarco Murray, the league’s leading rusher, go, and they lost defensive captain Jus n Durant. The club may really regret this in 2015. Talented rookies like cornerback Byron Jones, defensive end Randy Gregory, and offensive tackle La’el Collins may start and perform well, but missteps in staffing their defense and running game may put too much pressure on quarterback Tony Romo for the Cowboys to make a consecu ve bid for the

playoffs. Since he took over the New York Giants, coach Tom Coughlin has won a Super Bowl every four years. With this being his twel h season, by his calendar, 2015 should be their year. Perhaps rehiring Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator is part of his plan. If wide receiver Victor Cruz comes back healthy to team up with his promising counterpart, Odell Beckham, Jr., perhaps Eli Manning can finally put those “elite quarterback” label ques ons to rest. Adding running back Shane Vereen should help, but it may not be enough. The Giants didn’t add a lot of new talent to their roster this year. The new coach of the Washington Redskins, Jay Gruden, replaces the man who risked RG3. Will Robert Griffin III now get to be the kind of quarterback that fans thought he was back in 2012? If new players, such as offensive lineman Brandon Scherff, can shore up Washington’s weak O-line, Griffin might get that chance. Adding proven veterans like nose tackle Terrance Knight, defensive tackle Stephen Paea, cornerback Chris Culliver, and free safety Dashon Goldson to the defense could help the Redskins turn things around.

DIVISION PREVIEW Talk about a Super Bowl hangover. Can the Sea le Seahawks bounce back a er losing, with 25 seconds to go, on 2nd and goal at New England’s 1 yard line, when coach Pete Carroll called for a pass play? If anyone can, the resilient Seahawks can. Carroll explains his enthusiasm, and his coaching decisions, by saying he always thinks “something good is just about to happen.” Veteran running back Marshawn Lynch will be back, and ght end Jimmy Graham should boost point produc on. But without center Max Unger, Sea le’s oﬀensive line could be shaky. New cornerbacks and rookie DE Frank Clark’s stormy past could limit the defense. Can coach Bruce Arians and the Arizona Cardinals create some magic in the NFC West? Last season, they posted an eleven win record, but fizzled out at the finish. With quarterback Carson Palmer healthy now, they should be able to chase Sea le. They will need a be er running game to catch them, though. Losing defensive coordinator Todd Bowles could slow them down. Maybe talented players like guard Mike Iupa , linebackers like Sean Weatherspoon and LaMarr Woodley, and defensive tackle Corey 28

Peters will speed them up. During 2014, the St. Louis Rams went 6-10. It was their poorest showing under coach Jeff Fisher, and his fourth consecu ve losing season with this club. This year, he may s ll be trying to move this team forward on the ground, rather than through the air. The Rams dra ed Georgia running back Todd Gurley and went a er strong offensive linemen, so Fisher may be set on forming the type of offense that runs first and thinks about passing later. If their low scores con nue, taking the under could become a standard wager when St. Louis is involved. Do the San Francisco 49ers look like they could use some me off? Consider the expecta ons many NFL analysts have for them this season: Last in the NFC West. Star running back Frank Gore, linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are all gone. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula is s ll there. He replaces Jim Harbaugh as head coach. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick will be back, too. Will adding receivers like Torrey Smith and Jerome Simpson and running back Reggie Bush be enough to rebuild San Francisco? Probably not.

DIVISION PREVIEW The Green Bay Packers got close in 2014, and GM Ted Thompson has worked hard to keep this team in one piece. These Packers will likely wind up at the top of the heap in this division. Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy re-signed wide receiver Randall Cobb, tackle Bryan Bulaga, fullback John Kuhn, and nose tackles B.J. Raji and Letroy Guion, and dra ed cornerbacks Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins. Green Bay nearly won the NFC championship with wounded quarterback Aaron Rodgers. If Rodgers stays healthy in 2015, watch out. It looks like the Minnesota Vikings may be building some momentum as coach Mike Zimmer’s second season approaches. His hot rookie quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, is back, and so is running back Adrian Peterson. A er a trade with Miami, the Vikings’ oﬀense will also feature Mike Wallace, one of the fastest wide receivers in the league. A strong dra adds T.J. Clemmings to the O-line, and cornerback Trae Waynes and linebacker Eric Kendrick to the defense. Minnesota has a tough schedule this year, and faces a ba le for an NFC wild card, but they are ready for a fight. Surprising many

NFC SOUTH

be ors, in coach Jim Caldwell’s first season with the Detroit Lions, the team finished 11-5 and clinched a wild card berth. Quarterback Ma hew Stafford and his crew had a good year, but in 2015, the experts doubt the power of Detroit’s defense without Ndamukong Suh. The Lions lost defensive tackle Nick Fairley as well. Bal more’s Halo Ngata will have the task of replacing Suh, one of the most in mida ng players in the NFL. Last year, Ngata was fined for kicking an opponent. When you are recas ng the role of the league’s dir est player, that’s a good sign. There are some new faces at the Chicago Bears, star ng at the top. How successful can coach John Fox be without Peyton Manning? He’ll surely be tested with notoriously uneven quarterback Jay Cutler. Fox will be aided by his Denver offensive coordinator, Adam Gase. Former 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will convert the Bears to a 3-4 scheme. Dra ing pass rusher Pernell McPhee and signing safety Antrel Rolle should help. The offense gets new receivers and a be er O-line. Maybe Michigan State RB Jeremy Langford can get the ground game going.

4. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

DIVISION PREVIEW The New Orleans Saints tanked in 2014. Fortunately, with the aggressive moves they made in the offseason, this could be a bolder team. Expect to see their ground game expand, and a more muscular defense. The Saints bypassed top receivers to dra defensive players like linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha, and signed Miami linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. The offense traded ght end Jimmy Graham for veteran center Max Unger and added running back C.J. Spiller. Not a great makeover, but in the wacky NFC South, it could be enough. The Atlanta Falcons are star ng over with new coach Dan Quinn. Their 6-10 season took them to the playoffs and s ll cost Mike Smith his job. Quinn, formerly Sea le’s defensive coordinator, may ul mately give the Falcons an en rely new approach, especially the defense. In 2015, this would mean making a big splash with rookies. Quinn’s top dra picks were edge rusher Vic Beasley, cornerback Jalen Collins, and defensive tackle Grady Jarre . Quarterback Ma Ryan desperately needs a be er O-line. It’s doub ul that the Falcons will have the talent, experience, or he to hold their own against the NFC’s heavyweights. The Tampa

Bay Buccaneers may feel they won the top prize at the NFL Dra . Their first overall pick, quarterback Jameis Winston, was the youngest player to ever win the Heisman Trophy, and he just led Florida State to a Na onal Championship. Can an NFL rookie, right out of school, really turn a club around? Coach Lovie Smith must be hoping Winston can do what Andrew Luck did for the Colts. They went from 2-14 to 11-5. Young Winston will inherit a talented suppor ng cast. Some of the recent addi ons to the defense, however, already look old and red. Six or seven wins might be more realis c. Despite a 7-8-1 losing season, the Carolina Panthers managed to win this division for the second me and secure a playoff spot. To make the Panthers more consistent, GM Dave Ge leman’s mission is to make quarterback Cam Newton happy. He got Newton two new receivers by bringing back Ted Ginn and dra ing Devin Funchess, and added offensive linebackers Jonathan Mar n and Michael Oher – the real Michael in the movie, “The Blind Side.” The Panthers may not look like playoff contenders, but in the NFC South, anything can happen.

OUTLOOK Last year, the Arizona Cardinals emerged as a legitimate contender, and were poised to be Seattle’s main rival in the NFC West. After injuries to quarterback Carson Palmer, and later, backup QB Drew Stanton and safety Tyrann Mathieu handicapped the team, they lost in the first round of the playoffs. Heading into 2015, Arizona is regarded by many experts as the most serious threat to Seattle in this division. GM Steve Keim added several replacements that could impact the offense. The Cards struggled to run the ball and that became very apparent after Palmer and Stanton went down with injuries. There was a lot of pressure on running backs Andre Ellington and Stepfan Taylor, but they rarely averaged more than 3.3 yards per carry, and the running game was dreadful. Larry Fitzgerald caught only two touchdown passes, but led the team with 63 catches. Michael Floyd led the team in receiving yards, and John Brown emerged as a solid option. Despite having only the 24th best total defense in the NFL last year, this unit gave up just 18.7 points per game. The Cardinals allowed nearly 260 passing yards per contest, ranking among the bottom five in the league, but topped the league average for stopping the run. New linebackers Cory Redding, Sean Weatherspoon, and LaMarr Woodley should see plenty of action. Tyrann Mathieu’s return to the secondary is a big deal, and their explosive cornerback, Patrick Peterson, is one of the best in the game. But more help is still needed, particularly at strong safety, where Tony Jefferson struggled last year. If the pass defense can improve, the Cardinals may look substantially different this year. Winning 10 or 11 games is not impossible for 2015. TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK

The Atlanta Falcons are heading into the 2015 season with some high expectations. Can new head coach Dan Quinn make the Falcons straighten up and fly right? He certainly knows how to build an effective defense. In Quinn’s first season as the defensive coordinator for the Seahawks, his team led the league in fewest points allowed, fewest yards allowed, and fewest takeaways with 231, 4,378, and 39, respectively to become the first team since the 1985 Chicago Bears to do that. Then the Seahawks went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII. Having Quinn’s defensive mindset will be a huge step in the right direction. Atlanta made a few sound moves in the offseason. Did they make enough? Their defense had several holes last year, and to turn it around without more new talent, key players must have breakout seasons for this unit to function. If the line can protect him, quarterback Matt Ryan’s offense is sure to put up points with receivers like Julio Jones and Roddy White. In November of 2014, during a game against the Panthers, White joined the 10,000 yard receiving club. There wasn’t a lot of hype surrounding Indiana Hoosiers running back Tevin Coleman during the draft, but he may be one of the best picks of 2015. He has proven himself to be a strong running back capable of making plays in the open field. With Devonta Freeman in rotation, a dynamic duo could possibly produce big numbers. Quinn will likely put a much better team on the field than Mike Smith did. Winning the Coach of the Year award isn’t impossible for a rookie head coach, and that could happen if Quinn can shake up the pecking order in the NFC South.

The Carolina Panthers will see the return of nine starters from an offense that won five of their last six games. If they can survive their schedule, the Panthers could wind up being the NFC South champion for the third straight year. The offense should be better with Michigan wide receiver Devin Funchess added and Ted Ginn back via free agency. Skeptics should remember that quarterback Cam Newton has had four games with at least 200 passing yards and 80 rushing yards with multiple touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. That is the most ever. Newton’s 33 rushing touchdowns were the most by a quarterback in his first four seasons, and he’s also the only player in the league’s history to have 10,000 passing yards and 2,000 rushing yards in his first four seasons, and the first to have at least 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards in four consecutive seasons. At 6-6 and 240 pounds, Newton may be one of the few double-threat quarterbacks big enough to actually do the job. Offensive tackle Daryl Williams was added through the draft, and with right tackle Michael Oher signed, Newton’s O-line could be sturdier. Oher’s story was the basis for the film, The Blind Side. He may be tested at left tackle first. Ten starters from a defense that finished 10th in the NFL come back this season. Linebackers Thomas Davis, Luke Kuechly, and Chase Blackburn were an essential part of a unit that set an NFL record for the least yards allowed in a playoff game. If he stays healthy, cornerback Bené Benwikere could have a breakout season, too. Unfortunately, Carolina’s schedule is brutal. After a trip to Seattle, they host Philadelphia, Green Bay, and Indianapolis. AVG MOV: TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK After their disappointing 2014 season, the Chicago Bears have revamped their entire club from the top down with a new GM, a new head coach, free agency picks, and new blood from the draft. General manager Ryan Pace added some quality players with his celebrated rookie selections, and it appears he also made several clever bold moves in free agency. Under coach John Fox, the Bears are not only redesigning their roster, they’re installing new schemes on both sides of the ball. After exploring other options, they have hitched their offensive wagon to Jay Cutler. If it’s going to roll at peak performance, this interception-prone quarterback is going to need an abundance of weapons surrounding him. Wide receiver Kevin White was drafted to replace Brandon Marshall’s productivity, and this rookie might just do that. In the scrappy NFC North, former Michigan State running back Jeremy Langford might not be physical enough to be more than a third-down specialist. If the Bears are looking for more, he could disappoint. Oregon’s offensive linemen have worked out well for Chicago in recent years, and Hroniss Grasu could continue that trend. Many online oddsmakers considered defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to be a brilliant hire, but will the Bears have the talent he’ll need to run a 3-4 unit? Fangio is known for adapting his defenses to fit his players, and if FSU’s Eddie Goldman can stabilize the nose tackle position, everything might work out very well. Goldman was often a dominant force in Florida State’s defense, and John Fox is obviously hoping that will happen in the Windy City as well. If most of their numerous offseason moves pan out, this team could be knocking on the door of a wildcard spot.

OUTLOOK The Dallas Cowboys are coming back from a 12-4 record, and they’ll enter this season with high expectations. On defense, linebacker Sean Lee is back from injury, Rolando McClain returns, and both cornerback Orlando Scandrick and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence should continue to improve. New DE Greg Hardy was suspended the first 10 games of the season for domestic abuse charges. Randy Gregory may fill that hole. Gregory famously failed the 2015 Scouting Combine test for marijuana. Marijuana use may not be alarming to anyone anymore, but this clearly demonstrated poor judgment. On offense, quarterback Tony Romo, wide receivers Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams, and tight end Jason Witten are back. After a poor season opener, Romo and this crew won six games in a row. In those six victories, Romo threw a 13:3 touchdown/interception ratio. Since 2006, Romo’s had a higher passer rating than any other NFL quarterback in the 4th quarter of a game. Dez Bryant had the most productive year of his career, catching 88 passes for 1,320 yards and 16 touchdowns, breaking the franchise record. During their first playoff game of the 2014 season, Williams solidified his status as a playmaker by registering 3 receptions for 92 yards, while scoring 2 critical touchdowns against the Lions and their No. 2 ranked defense. Witten ranks second alltime in career receptions and receiving yards by an NFL tight end. The offensive line should be the best in the league. New offensive line coach Frank Pollack has four talented first-round picks on duty. Not overpaying for DeMarco Murray will look smart if Joseph Randle and new hire Darren McFadden excel with the running game. If this happens, the Dallas Cowboys could win another NFC East title.

OUTLOOK The offseason brought significant changes for the Detroit Lions, and some of them will hurt. One of the biggest hits was losing Ndamukong Suh. The Lions did sign another dangerous defensive tackle, Haloti Ngata. Back when he played for Oregon, Ngata could bench press nearly 500 pounds. Since then, he’s made the Pro Bowl 5 times. Detroit also drafted Auburn’s Gabe Wright. But many analysts feel Detroit’s defense still looks questionable, although few doubt defensive coordinator Teryl Austin’s ability to make an impact on this unit. Austin was the secondary coach for the Baltimore Ravens and helped lead them to their Super Bowl victory. The strong draft haul made by this franchise could help balance their effort in 2015. The offense appears to be gearing up for a more run-heavy crew this season. Even with quarterback Mathew Stafford and receiver Calvin Johnson on hand, the Lions have a lot invested in upgrading their ground game, including a trade to bring the other Manny Ramirez back from Denver. Unlike baseball’s Manny, this one is 6-3 and weighs 320 pounds. Usually a guard, Ramirez won the center position with the Broncos. Detroit’s first round pick, former Duke guard Laken Tomlinson, is about the same size and he could be a sensational addition to Detroit’s O-line, too. The Lions also drafted an explosive running back, Ameer Abdullah. In his last year at Nebraska, Abdullah was a contender for the Heisman Trophy. If the Lions are able to endure their lineup and make a second consecutive playoff appearance, they will have to overcome two brutal stretches, coming at the beginning and the end of the season. It is possible that Detroit could start 1-4 and make the playoffs, but it’s highly unlikely. TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

RECORD

Some online football betting analysts predict the Green Bay Packers may easily win more than 11 regular season matchups in 2015. In spite of their success under head coach Mike McCarthy, the Packers have only won more than 11 games two times. McCarthy boldly claims that this year’s offensive line will be the best in his career with Green Bay. GM Ted Thompson re-signed right tackle Bryan Bulaga to a fiveyear contract, and worked hard to keep their five starters together. Last year, after a rocky start, quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished the regular season first in touchdown to interception ratio and had the lowest interception percentage. Rodgers was rated second in passer rating, yards per attempt, and touchdown passing percentage, third in touchdown passes, seventh in passing yards, and ninth in completion percentage. He also set NFL records for most consecutive pass attempts (512) at home without an interception, and touchdown passes (41). Overall, Green Bay’s offense averaged 4.4 yards per carry and 119.8 rushing yards per game, ranking 10th and 11th in the league. McCarthy says he won’t be calling the plays this season, and has hinted that Rodgers may play a more significant role, similar to Peyton Manning’s at Denver, so it’s crucial that he doesn’t get hurt. Unlike the last two seasons, if Rodgers is healthy when the Packers head to the playoffs, and the team can avoid major injuries, the sky is the limit. Expect the Pack to get back to the NFC Championship game again, but they might possibly lose to the Seahawks now that Seattle has red-hot tight end Jimmy Graham. If roommates Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins can electrify the secondary, anything is possible for Green Bay in 2015. TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK The Minnesota Vikings could be a sleeper team for online football bettors in 2015. Even if the Vikings decide to part ways with running back Adrian Peterson, they appear to be ready to make a serious run for the playoffs. Head coach Mike Zimmer is known for his ability to develop talent, and with players like cornerback Xavier Rhodes, defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, safety Harrison Smith, linebacker Anthony Barr, and defensive end Everson Griffen, Zimmer may have what he needs to turn Minnesota’s defense into a mighty unit. Last year, Minnesota’s defense ranked a respectable 14th in the league for yards allowed per game. GM Rick Spielman and Zimmer wisely used the draft to add more muscle this season and spent their first three picks on potential starters. Tired of getting scorched by their division’s top receivers, the Vikings selected a very accomplished cornerback, Michigan State’s Trae Waynes. Waynes has the height and speed to cover the larger receivers, and he should give Minnesota a fantastic 1-2 punch opposite Xavier Rhodes. The Vikings also picked up linebacker Eric Kendricks and defensive end Danielle Hunter. On the other side of the ball, the success of the Vikings will be tied to the progress of rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who played as well as many veteran quarterbacks in the league during the month of December. Now Bridgewater will have a new deep threat with wide receiver Mike Wallace coming on board to compliment Cordarrelle Patterson and the emerging Charles Johnson. Keeping the offensive line healthy will also be key to an effective postseason run, and drafting an exceptional player like Pittsburgh offensive tackle T.J. Clemmings should help. 2015 could well be the year that this young team grows up.

OUTLOOK Can the New Orleans Saints bounce back after finishing 7-9 last season? The offseason moves that may define this year’s team demonstrate a desire to upgrade the offense so that it more closely resembles the club coach Sean Payton won a national championship with. The Saints traded tight end Jimmy Graham to Seattle for their Super Bowl veteran center, Max Unger, signed running back and return specialist C.J. Spiller, brought back running back Mark Ingram, Jr., and drafted Stanford’s Andrus Peat, a 6-7, 316 pound offensive tackle. All of these decisions indicate New Orleans is planning to run the ball a lot more. With a balanced attack, quarterback Drew Brees may be able to generate much better point totals in 2015. The defense will have to dramatically improve, too, however. There’s still talent in the secondary with cornerback Keenan Lewis, and safeties Kenny Vaccaro, and Jairus Byrd on duty. Drafting pass-rush threat Hau’oli Kikaha, cornerbacks PJ. Williams and Damian Swann, outside linebacker Davis Tull, and defensive tackle Tyeler Davison may help, but many football analysts feel their NFL draft efforts will probably not bring the caliber of experienced talent that is desperately needed to make an immediate impact on this unit. For a club in need of a major facelift, they still need more pros. Payton may be closer to having the offense he wants, and his recent additions could pay off right away. To be a contender again someday, the Saints are also going to need another defense as fierce as the one they lost after their bounty scandal. With a softer schedule, in a peculiar division that’s still quite winnable, New Orleans should be able to experience some version of a rebound this season. -1.4

OUTLOOK The New York Giants could use a little luck in 2015. Both Philadelphia and Dallas are without their leading rushers, so they might get a break. Losing Will Beatty, one of the league’s top offensive tackles, to another freak training injury will require some adjustments. Expect to see first round pick Ereck Flowers at left tackle, Justin Pugh at right tackle, and John Jerry back at guard. If Flowers performs well enough to bring improvement to their often problematic O-line, quarterback Eli Manning can focus on breaking more records with wide receiver Odell Beckham, or throwing to Victor Cruz and tight end Larry Donnell. Signing running back Shane Vereen to rotate with Andre Williams and Rashad Jennings should give coach Tom Coughlin plenty of options in the backfield, because Vereen has proven that he is also a reliable pass catcher. Vereen caught 11 passes for 64 yards and won Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots, so this offense could be primed to take off. The defense, however, doesn’t appear to have the kind of depth and talent seen in the past with New York’s most successful campaigns, but there are now more effective pass rushers than they had in 2014. Adding hard-hitting Alabama safety Landon Collins and versatile UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa should help. If Collins can develop pass coverage skills to match his run-stopping ability, he might be the steal of the NFL draft. Rehiring defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo may signal a return to the aggressive, blitz-heavy 4-3 approach the Giants were once known for. During Super Bowl XLII, Spagnuolo’s defense sacked Tom Brady five times. New York gets another break with their schedule, getting three of their first four games at home.

OUTLOOK Chip Kelly reversed the fortunes of the Philadelphia Eagles and led them to two 10-6 seasons. This year, team owner Jeffrey Lurie gave his coach the power to oversee all player personnel decisions, and Kelly has baffled -and annoyed- fans with some of his changes. He traded their popular, Pennsylvania-born running back, LeSean “Shady” McCoy, to Buffalo for linebacker Kiko Alonzo, one of Kelly’s former Oregon Ducks, and quarterback Nick Foles to St. Louis for Sam Bradford. Signing former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray seems to make sense, and drafting Nelson Agholor should improve the receiver corps. Kelly’s offense isn’t star-studded but it appears to be stacked with players that are going to perform in precise ways and fit his system. There will be plenty of depth. If Bradford fails to deliver at quarterback, Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow are there to step in. Like some of Kelly’s roster shuffling, Bradford is something of a mystery, too. Selected as the number one pick in the NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams in 2010, Bradford set a record with 326 completions, the most by a rookie in NFL history, and joined Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan to be the third rookie to start all 16 regular season games and pass for more than 3,000 yards. Understandably, expectations were high after that, but injuries have plagued him, and he has yet to have a solid season. Kelly also made upgrades on the other side of the ball, especially the pass defense. If Bradford stays healthy, flourishes, and most of the new players work out, Kelly’s bold moves will look smart. Otherwise, it could all just seem weird. Perhaps the Eagles will have another 10-6 season. 4.6

OUTLOOK Until their collapse, the San Francisco 49ers were Seattle’s NFC West nemesis. However, after an 8-8 season, the loss of coach Jim Harbaugh, and the departure of several key players, the 49ers had to rebuild much of this team from scratch. Fortunately, Jim Tomsula already knows this club well from the ground up. Since 2007, he was the defensive line coach, and he was also the team’s interim head coach for the last game of the 2010 season. Unfortunately, he lacks many of the key players that were instrumental in their successful three-year run. Did star quarterback Colin Kaepernick regress, or did his opponents simply catch on? His yards per pass were off, and he threw ten interceptions last year. Maybe new quarterback coach Steve Logan can fix that. RBs Reggie Bush and Carlos Hyde could make up for Frank Gore’s absence. Wide receiver Torrey Smith takes over for Michael Crabtree and joins former teammate Anquan Boldin. Vernon Davis, the team’s top tight end, must bounce back from his worst year. An O-line with center Marcus Martin, guard Joe Looney, and veteran offensive tackle Joe Staley might still work. The Niners dedicated their first three draft picks to their defense. Tackle Arik Armstead, strong safety Jaquiski Tartt, and linebacker Eli Harold may need to start from day one. In free agency, San Francisco added Darnell Dockett up front, Shareece Wright at corner, linebacker Philip Wheeler, and Nick Bellore for special teams, so this roster is a work in progress. For better or worse, 2015 brings a new squad to the field. Although San Francisco brought in some notable newcomers, like Dockett, Smith, and Bush, they’ve lost many important players. Their NFC West competitors have all upgraded. TURNOVER MARGIN: EXP PYTHAG WINS:

OUTLOOK The St. Louis Rams are still likely to be fighting to stay out of the NFC West basement in 2015. Last season, the Rams went 6–10. It was the team’s worst record under Jeff Fisher, and also Fisher’s 4th consecutive losing season as a head coach. With Sam Bradford gone, he’ll have a cheaper, and possibly, better quarterback with Nick Foles. In 2014, the Rams were only 28th in the league in total offense, and just 21st in scoring. Foles might not seem like a marquee name, but Fisher is clearly betting he can lead a run-based attack. In addition to adding Foles, Fisher used his first seven draft picks to overhaul the offense this year. Their first-round pick, Georgia running back Todd Gurley, has been compared to Marshawn Lynch for his power and speed. St. Louis also re-signed wide receiver Kenny Britt and tight end Lance Kendricks. For an offense focused on its ground game, these pass catchers should serve the system well. Up front, the Rams have struggled, so they drafted linemen Rob Havenstein, Jamon Brown, and Andrew Donnal. Veterans Greg Robinson and Rodger Saffold may man the blind side. On defense, the Rams were somewhat sturdy, but not spectacular. Adding linebacker Akeem Ayers and tackle Nick Fairley should strengthen what is already a strong unit. Along with Chris Long and Robert Quinn at end, Fairley could rotate with Michael Brockers and Aaron Donald in a very imposing front. E.J. Gaines and Alec Ogletree and the young secondary should be better this year. Fisher is devoted to his philosophy, but can a strong running game really be that successful in today’s NFL? The strength of his division will make this a major challenge. -1.8

OUTLOOK The Seattle Seahawks lost some key players from the roster that got them to back-to-back NFC Titles, and after some shuffling, coach Pete Carroll will have to get the job done in 2015 with a slightly different cast of characters. The team’s most exciting move was acquiring Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham from New Orleans in an exchange for center Max Unger and a first round draft pick. With their young quarterback, Russell Wilson, still on his rookie contract, they may have one of the best bargains in the league, and the savings allowed the Seahawks to invest elsewhere. Star running back Marshawn Lynch was resigned, and Graham joins a receiving corps led by Doug Baldwin, who had a career high 66 catches last season. Rookie Paul Richardson was injured during the playoffs, but Seattle has high hopes for this wide receiver’s second year. Ricardo Lockette and Jermaine Kearse should also see play, as will this year’s third round pick, Tyler Lockett. Seattle’s receivers didn’t always look so impressive in 2014, but they may have an easier time with opponents focusing on Graham. The O-line will miss Unger at center and guard James Carpenter. Drafting offensive tackles Terry Poole and Mark Glowinski was smart. But starting center Lemuel Jeanpierre may disappoint fans. Returning OTs Russell Okung and Justin Britt should provide some stability. Even after losing cornerback Byron Maxwell to the Eagles, and former Super Bowl MVP linebacker Malcolm Smith to the Raiders, Seattle’s defense should continue to be a brute force in the NFL. Signing cornerback Cary Williams and defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin could prove this is still the best secondary in the league. The Seahawks will shoot for the Super Bowl again this season.

OUTLOOK The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be one of the most talented teams to ever enter a season with a 3-13 record. Last year many online bettors thought Tampa Bay was a popular preseason pick to make the postseason. With new coach Lovie Smith and new players, there were plenty of reasons to be optimistic. The main reason they failed was a poor showing by quarterbacks Josh McCown and Mike Glennon. The Buccaneers have had a number of other problems, including a weak offensive line and a lousy pass rush, but in a league dominated by quarterbacks, it’s difficult to win without a great one. This year, the Bucs will bank on a brand new quarterback. At Florida State, Jameis Winston ran a pro-style offense, and he may have the arm to take advantage of serious deep field threats like Tampa’s wide receivers, Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans. If any NFL rookie could turn a team around in 2015, it’s Winston. The Bucs may have the nucleus to form a very potent defense as well, with the return of defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and linebacker Lavonte David. If they can get solid offensive production from their rookie quarterback, the Bucs should be much more competitive than last year. Tampa now has one of the most respected coaches in the game, and they will again play one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, but they may still finish at the bottom of their division. Fortunately, a disappointing season will allow them to address high areas of need, like the secondary, in next year’s draft. Tampa Bay is a year or two away from being a legitimate threat in the NFC South. -8.3

OUTLOOK

As the new head coach of the Washington Redskins, Jay Gruden will have a lot to prove in 2015. Robert Griffin III will, too. Playing in only nine games in 2014, Griffin completed 68.7 percent of his passes, but finished with just four touchdown passes, compared to six interceptions, in nine games, and only had one rushing touchdown. Drafting a giant 6-5, 325 pound interior lineman like Brandon Scherff could help, but it won’t take many snaps against tough defenses like Miami, and Ndamukong Suh, before the Redskins wish their new general manager, Scot McCloughan, had spent more free agency dollars to upgrade their weak offensive line. They did hire O-line guru Bill Callahan to build a more “physical, downhill approach,” but Washington’s front five will be tested against some formidable opponents. If the group in front of Griffin can be more protective this year, there’s good reason to believe things could be different this time around. However, if Griffin struggles to stay upright, it will cost the team everything. Offensive coordinator Sean McVay’s approach may involve short, rapid passes, hitting tight ends Jordan Reed and Niles Paul from multiple positions, and getting possession-style receivers Andre Roberts and Ryan Grant more involved. McVay was instrumental in developing Reed as a rookie. Also, Washington’s running game may be enhanced with greater size and more power. With a fierce nose tackle like Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton anchoring their new front, the defense could improve dramatically. Other strong additions like cornerback Chris Culliver and defensive tackle Stephen Paea, aka “the beast,” could make a huge difference. Even if RG3 can remind everyone that he is a superstar, the overall effort probably won’t add up to playoff contention this season.

EAST In coach Tommy Tuberville’s third season, Cincinnati is the favorite to win this conference. His explosive offense features quarterback Gunner Kiel and a deep receiving corps. But UC but only ranked 72nd in rushing last year, and Power Five schools exposed their lack of defensive speed. At Temple, Matt Rhule gets 17 starters back from a team that only went 6-6. Despite a strong start, QB P.J. Walker threw 13 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. Part of the problem was the line. The defense turned around and tied for fourth in the nation in points allowed (17.5 ppg). Maybe they can finally get back to a bowl game. George O’Leary followed up his Fiesta Bowl victory with another nine wins for UCF in 2014. Replacing Blake Bortles, QB Justin Holman overcame early inconsistency to complete 223 of 392 passes for 2,952 yards with 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, and is poised for a breakout season. Last year, UCF finished fifth nationally in total defense (298.5 ypg) and ninth in scoring defense (19.2 ppg), but there are big shoes to fill with seven departing starters. East Carolina enters 2015 without three of the major elements

that defined their offense: quarterback Shane Carden, receiver Justin Hardy, and coordinator Lincoln Riley. New OC Dave Nichol is confident that sophomore Kurt Benkert can step in and throw deep. The Pirates really enjoy stopping the run. They were 11th in the nation, allowing just 111.8 rushing yards per game. If their young quarterback comes through, they may have another bowl team. South Florida has yet to enjoy much success under Willie Taggart. After struggling for two seasons, the Bulls have changed to a rapid attack. Sophomore QB Quinton Flowers seems to be the best option. RB Marlon Mack was the AAC Rookie of the Year with 1,041 yards and nine TDs. After South Florida’s defense dropped to 69th in the nation, New DC Tom Allen has installed a 4-2-5 formation. Bob Diaco’s second season at UConn ended with a 2-10 record. To spark an offense that averaged just 15.5 points per game, they’ve developed a more physical running game with dual-threat QB Bryant Shirreffs, an impressive runner with a great arm. The strength of the team will be a defense with seven returning starters in a 3-4 alignment and a talented secondary.

WEST After winning a national title as the OC at Ohio State, first-time head coach Tom Herman brings the toughness Houston needed. The Cougars already had the talent. In 2014, RB Kenneth Farrow rushed for 1,037 yards and led the conference with 15 touchdowns. DC Todd Orlando will oversee a switch to a 3-4 defensive scheme. A ninth bowl appearance is possible. Under Ken Niumatalolo, Navy has been to six bowls in seven years. Returning superstar Keenan Reynolds is the first QB in NCAA history with 64 rushing touchdowns. After three starters graduated, they must rebuild the O-line. The Midshipmen’s 3-4 scheme requires the most from inside linebackers, and three of the four will be first-time starters. Still, this is a new era for Navy. Coach Justin Fuente has revolutionized the program at Memphis. 6-7 QB Paxton Lynch passed for 3,031 yards last year. With seven starters back, his offense should be potent. But Fuente had to replace eight starters and the coordinator on one of the league’s best defenses. If they can reassemble the Tigers quickly, they’ll be a top challenger once again. First year coach Chad Morris

will have his hands full at SMU. Only 11 starters return and he will be implementing new up-tempo schemes on both sides of the ball on a team that sadly finished 1-11 in 2014. Dual-threat QB Matt Davis will run a rapid no-huddle offense, and the defense has switched to a more aggressive 4-2-5 scheme. The turnaround may take time. Tulane needs to rebound from a 3-9 record. Curtis Johnson’s Green Wave has 13 returning starters and a promising core of talent, but last year this offense only ranked 107th in total offense and 121st in points. The defense needs to apply more pressure on quarterbacks after claiming just 22 sacks last year. The pieces are in place, but everything has to go right. After a 2-10 season, former Baylor OC Philip Montgomery replaces Bill Blankenship at Tulsa. Dane Evans, ranked second in the American in passing yards per game (258.5), will have excellent weapons at running back and wide receiver, but the defense gave up 39.3 points per game last year. New DC Bill Young inherits a unit that only ranked 114th in the nation in total defense (486.8 ypg). Stopping opponents may be difficult for Tulsa.

ATLANTIC During a two year run, Florida State went 27-1 and claimed the 2013 national championship. Notre Dame transfer Everett Golson and Sean Maguire will compete to replace QB Jameis Winston, but the biggest dilemma is the defense that gave up 5.5 yards per play last year. The Seminoles are still favorites to win the ACC, but the gap has decreased. Last season, Clemson had one of the best defenses in the nation, limiting opponents to 16.7 points per game and just four yards per play. Unfortunately, only two starters return. Until the defense is stable, the offense may have to carry this team. Louisville had a successful first season in a tougher division, with 9 wins. The Cardinals did this with a crack defense that produced 10 NFL draft picks. Year two under coach Bobby Petrino may be much harder. Louisville lost three receivers, so expect the Cards to run the ball early with Brandon Radcliff. After improving from 3-9 to 8-5 in Dave Doeren’s second campaign, NC State closed the season by winning four of their last five. This year, the Wolfpack will see the return of 14 starters, including quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Another

step forward in their win totals wouldn’t be a surprise. In two seasons at Boston College, Steve Addazio has created an exciting program that is coming off back-to-back bowl games. However, with just nine starters back, 2015 could be brutal. Dual threat quarterback Darius Wade will likely start. The Eagles should continue to have one of the top defenses in the country against the run. In Dave Clawson’s first year at Wake Forest he experienced more downs than ups. The good news? 13 starters return from last season’s 3-9 team. The bad news? The Demon Deacons will once again be a very young team, and this offense was one of the worst in all of FBS in 2014. The defense pulled off a miracle when they managed to finish in the middle. In Scott Shafer’s second season, Syracuse had a 3-9 run. He’ll have a new offensive coordinator helping, but the margin for error will be slim. With a different offensive system to learn and eight new defensive starters, Shafer will be struggling to survive. Few players are returning, and senior quarterback Terrel Hunt is one of the only steady figures on the roster.

COASTAL Georgia Tech lost receivers and key players in the backfield, but coach Paul Johnson’s team is positioned for another run at the Coastal title. The Yellow Jackets do get 13 starters back, and that includes quarterback Justin Thomas. Sadly, their defense ranked near the bottom, but significant improvements could change that. For Virginia Tech, quarterback Michael Brewer threw for 18 touchdowns and 2,692 yards, but also 15 interceptions. Maybe experience will help. The Hokies have four starting defensive linemen that have earned All-ACC recognition. The secondary? Still a big question. At Pittsburgh, it’s another year, and time for another coach. Now, it’s all up to Pat Narduzzi, Michigan State’s celebrated defensive coordinator. Can he do it with RB James Conner and WR Tyler Boyd? Conner was named a first-team All-American after rushing for 1,765 yards, 5.9 per carry, and 26 touchdowns. Unfortunately, the defense lacks star power. At North Carolina, coach Larry Fedora is on the hot seat. Fortunately, 2015 brings back 10 offensive starters and several key reserves. Quarterback Marquise Williams is the dual threat that led the team, but they’ll want him to take less hits this season. That

depends on their running backs and an improved O-line. DC Gene Chizik must build and upgrade a 4-3 defense. Coach Al Golden has plenty of talent in Miami. The Hurricanes had seven players drafted in April. His defenses have been a major liability, though. With ACC Rookie of the Year Brad Kaaya at quarterback, 2015 could be the season that Miami contends a title. Their 14th nationally rated defense will have to improve, however. Duke is ready to reload. Junior QB Thomas Sirk may surpass Anthony Boone. Sirk has rough edges, but reliable targets. With powerful Jela Duncan or speedy Shaun Wilson, Duke may depend more on the running game. There are holes to fill on the offensive line. The strength of the defense is the secondary. Virginia has settled on a new style. Now they need to settle on a quarterback. 6-5 Matt Johns seems right for a pro-style offense that focuses on the running game. But Johns needs to be more accurate and make fewer mistakes. It may all ride on the O-line and 10 returning starters. All-American safety Quin Blanding should only get better. To keep his job, coach Mike London probably needs a bowl game.

EAST Ohio State is the obvious favorite to repeat as national champion. Coach Urban Meyer has seven returning starters on both sides of the ball, including RB Ezekiel Elliott, a true Heisman contender, and with Braxton Miller, Cardale Jones, and J.T. Barrett, he’ll have no shortage of QB talent. The defense should be one of the nation’s best. Mark Dantonio has transformed Michigan State into one of the country’s top programs, too. 24 seniors return. Among that number is their accomplished QB, Connor Cook. The Spartans have finished in the nation’s top 10 in total defense the past four years, but it’s now without their outstanding DC, Pat Narduzzi. There is great potential here, but much remains to be determined. How quickly can Penn State return to full strength? Progress should continue under James Franklin, but Christian Hackenberg’s supporting cast is a major concern. This QB was sacked 44 times last year. Seven starters return to what was, statistically, the Big Ten’s best defense last season. With Jim Harbaugh coming back to Michigan, optimism is understandably high. A huge challenge for his OC, Tim Drevno, though, is Michigan’s dreadful 107th rated pass efficiency.

Harbaugh must develop a dependable quarterback and also solidify a shaky offensive line. He should have a steady defense, however, so Michigan might just surprise everyone. After a great debut by Maryland in the Big Ten, Randy Edsall lost his quarterback, his defensive coordinator, and 11 starters. Behind a bigger offensive line, Caleb Rowe steps in at quarterback. New coordinator Keith Dudzinski is rebuilding a 4-3 defense to compliment a promising secondary. This year really matters to Kevin Wilson. It’s his 5th at Indiana, and they’ve yet to win more than five games in a season. Upgrading the offensive line and adding RB Jordan Howard, who ran for nearly 1,600 yards and 13 touchdowns at UAB, should help, and their 3-4 defense has improved some, but Wilson really needs a bowl game. Last year, Rutgers ranked seventh in the Big Ten in total offense, so new OC Ben McDaniels insists he won’t experiment much with their pro-style system this fall. Whoever ultimately gets the quarterback job will have WR Leonte Carroo and some deep backfield talent. Unfortunately, the young defense that ranked a poor 106th nationally last season will probably struggle in 2015 as well.

WEST Even though Wisconsin has a new head coach, trends should continue. Paul Chryst used to run some explosive offenses here. This time, Chryst inherits a questionable O-line, inconsistent QB Joel Stave, and RB Melvin Gordon instead of Heisman contender Melvin Gordon. Fortunately, the defense is still solid. Unfortunately, they open against Alabama. Nebraska traded coach Bo Pelini for Mike Riley. Riley’s pro-style offense will feature QB Tommy Armstrong Jr., who completed 53 percent of his passes for 2,695 yards and 22 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. Depth is a problem for the defense. If they fix that, the Cornhuskers will be contenders. Minnesota has really developed in Jerry Kill’s four seasons, and now the offense must deliver. Junior QB Mitch Leidner returns to a passing attack that only ranked 119th nationally, and with just four starters back, the new no-huddle offense will have to shine. Luckily, the defense brings back seven starters to what could be DC Tracy Claeys’ toughest unit. In his last 14 seasons, Kirk Ferentz has led Iowa to 12 bowl games. This year, junior QB C.J. Beathard comes back, but just three starters return on the offensive line, so they’ll really miss Brandon Scherff, one of the

country’s best interior linemen. Senior Jordan Canzeri takes over for RB Mark Weisman. This defense was often overwhelmed last year. Expect similar results. Pat Fitzgerald’s Northwestern Wildcats have missed the postseason two seasons in a row. His roster returns 15 starters to an offense that struggled in passing accuracy (57.4 percent). Maybe they can build an attack around RB Justin Jackson. With experience at cornerback and defensive end, Fitzgerald could have his best defense ever. At Illinois, Tim Beckman’s happy to have Wes Lunt and Josh Ferguson back. Last season, QB Lunt completed 64 percent of his passes, with 14 touchdown passes and only three interceptions, while RB Ferguson gained 735 yards and scored eight touchdowns on the ground, plus 427 yards and two TDs as a receiver. Sack-master DE Jihad Ward should be even better in an improving defense. Sixteen starters return for Darrell Hazell’s second season at Purdue. If this team wants to rise from the bottom of the heap, QB Austin Appleby will have to complete more than 50 percent of his passes. Eight of Purdue’s 12 opponents scored 30 points or more against this defense. OOBG.COM

Art Briles has transformed Baylor into an annual contender. Seth Russell is next in line at QB, and he’ll have one of the best supporting casts in the country. On defense, the returning nine starters include All-American DE Shawn Oakman. The TCU Horned Frogs are poised for another run at the national championship. Last year, QB Trevone Boykin threw for 3,901 yards and 33 TDs to rank fourth in the nation. Defense is usually coach Gary Patterson’s strength, but he lost a few key players. Oklahoma isn’t short on talent. RB Samaje Perine returns to contribute to a new spread offense. Bob Stoops and his staff will have to replace four starters on the offensive line, and improve a secondary that allowed 24 passing plays of 30 yards or more in 2014. Last year, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy reluctantly gave Mason Rudolph the QB job and the rookie pushed the Cowboys to 6–6 and bowl eligibility. The O-line ought to be better, and the defense is loaded with star power. Charlie Strong is still overhauling Texas. His new up-tempo offense replaces one that only averaged 21.4 points per game. The dual-threat talents of Tyrone Swoopes, Jerrod Heard, or Kai Locksley could

determine their fate. The defense looks rock solid. Even though West Virginia will have a new starting quarterback, an unproven offensive line, and an untested receiving corps this season, coach Dana Holgorsen’s biggest hurdle is repairing a defense that ranked 60th last year. At Texas Tech, the word to remember is “turnovers.” Kliff Kingsbury’s inconsistent offense must reduce them, and his defense, under new DC David Gibbs, will focus on forcing them. The Red Raiders showed promise late in the season, so things appear to be moving in the right direction. Iowa State finished last season ranked 89th in the nation in total offense. With OC Mark Mangino’s system in place, and experienced QB Sam Richardson running the show, it should be much better. The defense should be stronger, too. Obviously, there is significant pressure on coach Paul Rhoads. In their last five seasons, Kansas has won just 12 games, and this year, the Jayhawks’ roster seems as depleted as any in the last decade, on both sides of the ball. With only five starters returning, coach David Beaty’s rebuilding effort will be extremely challenging in 2015.

EAST WKU will be a team to watch. QB Brandon Doughty and six starters return to an offense that averaged 44.4 points per game in 2014. Jeff Brohm’s schedule presents opportunities to score significant victories against Vanderbilt, LSU, and Indiana. Seven players come back to a unit that ranked 120th in total defense. Adding Jontavious Morris should help. Marshall lost 67-66 to WKU in overtime for their only loss of 2014. 6-5, 242 pound transfer Michael Birdsong replaces QB Rakeem Cato, to help OC Bill Legg keep his attack in the top 15 nationally for a fourth year. Senior RB Devon Johnson rushed for 1,767 yards and 17 touchdowns last year. DC Chuck Heater transformed one of the nation’s worst defenses into a unit that was No. 18 in 2014. The senior-laden team at MTSU could be Rick Stockstill’s best in years, and they will be tested against Alabama, Illinois, Vanderbilt, and Western Kentucky. Returning dual-threat QB Austin Grammer accounted for 2,999 yards of total offense and 23 TDs last season. Stocksill’s son, Brent, may be a better passer. Seven starters return to a defense that is better at stopping runs than passes. Losing their three best defensive

players and the offense’s top big-play threat will make it difficult for FAU to advance to a bowl game. Coach Charlie Partridge’s running game, with backs Jay Warren and Greg “Buddy” Howell, is strong enough to compete with Conference USA opponents, though. FIU has a young quarterback and 14 starters back for a team that saw improvement in the last few weeks of last season. QB Alex McGough will operate behind a line that’s best in run situations, because coach Ron Turner runs a single-back, run-first offense. The sturdy defense should hold up its end. After a six-win season in 2014, coach Bobby Wilder proved that Old Dominion can compete in the FBS. Replacing superstar QB Taylor Heinicke will be nearly impossible, but seven key offensive starters are back. Sophomore RB Ray Lawry will probably play a major role. Last season, this defense gave up 38 points per game. As the newest member of the FBS, Charlotte has a ways to go. The 49ers join Conference USA after two seasons under Brad Lambert. Most of their point-scorers return to a quick-strike offense. New DC Matt Wallerstedt inherits a shaky 3-4 defense.

WEST In year 2 under Skip Holtz, Louisiana Tech went from 4-8 to 9-5 and played in the Conference USA West championship. This season, the Bulldogs are the favorites to repeat, and the offense returns most of its skill position players. 6-4, 234-pound, pro-style QB Jeff Driskel has a strong arm, plus the ability to run. One of C-USA’s toughest defenses returns with six veteran starters. David Bailiff’s 2015 Rice team will be looking to replicate last year’s eight wins. To do that, the Owls will rely on a large batch of new starters on defense. Nose tackle Ross Winship is the only returning regular. Fifth-year senior QB Driphus Jackson threw nearly 3,000 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first season. Rice has the best RB combo in the conference. UTEP built Sean Kugler’s surprising winning season around their defense, and five key members of the front six in the 4-2-5 defense return: Roy Robertson-Harris, Nick Usher, Gino Bresolin, Jimmy Musgrave, and Alvin Jones. The offense that pounds the ball up the middle is also back. The passing game is a problem, however. Southern Miss saw some improvement in their second season.

2015 OFFICIAL OFFSHORE FOOTBALL BETTING GUIDE

Seven starters are back on an offense that averaged only 19 points per game, and Todd Monken is beginning to restock the roster with depth. QB Nick Mullens passed for 2,470 yards and 12 TDs last year despite missing several games with a foot injury. RB Ito Smith is back, too. The defense was ninth in the league last season. With nine wins two years ago, and just four last fall, coach Dan McCarney has had a roller coaster ride at North Texas. They only ranked 114th nationally in total offense in 2014. There are four new starters up front and still some quarterback questions for his new OC, so UNT may remain a run-first team. The defense will try to reload quickly under new coordinator Chris Cosh. Larry Coker had a veteran team at UTSA. It sadly finished the season 4-8, and now all of his veterans are gone. Only three starters return, on a defense that ranked 54th nationally in points allowed. Injuries and inexperience combined to produce a passer rating that ranked just 119th in the nation. Blake Bogenschutz may start at QB, but it could be up to explosive RB Jarveon Williams to save the day.

With Navy joining the American Athletic Conference, this leaves only three major independent football programs in 2015. In each of head coach Brian Kelly’s five seasons, Notre Dame has won at least eight games, and the Fighting Irish are hoping to improve after a somewhat disappointing 8-5 campaign. This offense did demonstrate marked improvement in scoring, however, going from 27.2 ppg in 2013 to 32.8 in 2014, and in total offense, they went from 405.8 ypg to 444.9. This season, all but four starters return. The starting QB job will likely go to talented sophomore Malik Zaire. The offensive line is led by veterans like left tackle Ronnie Stanley, center Nick Martin, and right guard Steve Elmer. Weapons abound in the receiving corps, although reliability has been an issue. Most of the defense returns, but against their last eight opponents, this unit surrendered 319 points, or 39.8 points per game. Still, this is the best-equipped team Kelly has fielded yet. In his 11th season at BYU, coach Bronco Mendenhall welcomes back Heisman candidate and superstar QB Taysom Hill. In 2014, BYU was 4-0 and ranked 18th in the nation before Hill broke

his leg. In five games, Hill completed 66.7 percent of his passes, and he also ran for 460 yards and eight TDs. If RB Jamaal Williams is back at full strength, BYU should have a dynamic offense. Most of their top linebackers are back, and that should help the Cougars improve after ranking only 56th in total defense, and allowing 391.5 yards per game. Matchups with Nebraska, Boise State, UCLA, and Michigan will define BYU’s 2015 season. Since 1996, the Army Black Knights have only made it to one bowl game, and with only six starters returning, the postseason seems like a stretch once again. While A.J. Schurr is sidelined with a shoulder injury, this leaves Army with three rookie quarterbacks on the roster, sophomore Matt Kaufmann, and freshmen Ahmad Bradshaw and Seth Gonzales, and none of them have played at a college level before. Junior RB Joe Walker joins Elijah St. Hilaire and converted defensive back Joey Giovannelli for the running game. With so many starters gone on both sides of the ball, Monken has a lot of holes to fill as he attempts to upgrade a program that has lost 13 in a row to Navy.

EAST In his first season at Bowling Green, coach Dino Babers won eight games, the MAC East title, and the school’s first bowl contest in a decade. His high-powered offense gets back nearly every major player. But only five starters return to a defense that finished near the bottom in every important category. If Babers can fix it, they could be champions. With just five wins in three seasons, UMass hopes to take a huge step forward with 18 returning players. QB Blake Frohnapfel led the league with 334.5 passing yards per game, throwing 23 TDs with 10 interceptions. UMass returns nine of 11 starters to the defense, so it’s a critical year for coach Mark Whipple. After consecutive 5-7 showings, Terry Bowden’s fourth season at Akron could show signs of success with an experienced QB and several talented transfers. The defense returns six veterans and many reserves to a unit that was second in the MAC in yards allowed per game (371.1) and first in points allowed per game (23.1). Ohio won six games last season, but the Bobcats weren’t always competitive. After some growing pains, Coach Frank Solich gets nearly every

piece of his offense back. With capable replacements in a couple of key areas, the Bobcats could have a tough defense. Buffalo coach Lance Leipold needs to prove his system can win at the FBS level. Senior QB Joe Licata already holds the school record for touchdown passes (60). As they shift from a 3-3-5 to a 4-3, the Bulls have only three starters returning on defense. Kent State’s 11-3 season in 2012 is a distant memory. A potent running attack might take the pressure off junior QB Colin Reardon. In 2014, Reardon threw more interceptions (16) than touchdowns (14). The top 11 players are back on a defense that allowed 430.3 yards per game. After beating only Army and Akron, the Golden Flashes have nowhere to go but up. Coach Chuck Martin sees progress in his quest to lift Miami of Ohio from a 21 game losing streak. Junior RB Spencer McInnis and sophomore RB Damon Washington are the only returning players with major experience. After losing three men, the O-line needs rebuilding. The RedHawks’ defense looks strong once again, but this program is still a year away from being a competitor in the MAC East.

WEST After winning nine games and finishing 7-1 in the league, Toledo may be a contender again if Tom Manning can rebuild an offensive line that lost five starters. RB Kareem Hunt’s success is riding on it. Alabama transfer Phillip Ely returns from knee surgery to quarterback an explosive offense. Toledo’s defense should have plenty of options, with depth and veteran players. The secondary boasts four gifted cornerbacks. Northern Illinois reigned supreme in the MAC last year, and Rod Carey’s team gets 14 starters back from a team that is used to winning. QB Drew Hare doesn’t have great running ability, but he completed nearly 60 percent of his passes and threw 18 touchdowns with just two interceptions. This offense will probably be more pass-heavy, and they must replace RBs Cameron Stingily and Akeem Daniels. Eight starters return to a defense that finished 51st in the country in scoring defense. The secondary looks strong. Last season, P.J. Fleck orchestrated a turnaround at Western Michigan. QB Zach Terrell and the offensive line were surprisingly effective, and freshman RB Jarvion Franklin dazzled. Nine starters return from an offense that ranked second in the MAC in scoring (33.8

ppg). The defense has a few holes, however. With 16 starters returning, Fleck could have the firepower to emerge as a legitimate contender. Ball State has 17 starters returning from a team that won four of its last six games. Coach Pete Lembo will rely on a veteran offensive line and the two QBs that shared the job last season. On defense, the Cardinals welcome back seven starters, including all but one member of the front seven. Coach John Bonamego practically starts with a clean slate at Central Michigan. Only 10 starters return from a team that won seven games last year. This includes Junior QB Cooper Rush, who threw seven touchdown passes in the Bahamas Bowl, but he’ll need more talent around him. After using a 4-2-5 defensive scheme, the MAC’s No. 1 defense returns to a 4-3-4 base under new coordinator Greg Colby. Year two might be better for coach Chris Creighton at Eastern Michigan if he can build an offense around dual-threat QB Reginald Bell. He’ll need much more production from their undersized receiver corps. Last season, this defense surrendered 40.9 points and 498.8 yards per game and forced only 12 turnovers. OOBG.COM

MOUNTAIN In their first season under coach Bryan Harsin, Boise State won 12 games, including a victory over Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. The offense has nine starters returning, but it will look dramatically different. Sophomore QB Ryan Finley is the favorite to replace Grant Hedrick. The Broncos get back most of a defense that lacked consistency but showed promise. Matt Wells has won 19 games in two years at Utah State, and the Aggies have a wealth of experience on offense, especially at quarterback. Oregon transfer Damion Hobbs joins Chuckie Keeton and Kent Myers on the roster. The defense, which led the nation in several important statistical categories, could be even better in 2015. Coming off their best season since 2002, Colorado State enters uncertain territory with a new coach, Mike Bobo. QB Garrett Grayson and leading rusher Dee Hart are also gone. Fortunately, the nation’s leading receiver, Rashard Higgins, returns. Sophomore QB Nick Stevens may run Bobo’s pro-style offense. With new DC Tyson Summers, the defense moves from a 3-4 to a 4-3. Under Troy Calhoun, Air Force soared with 10 wins last season, including a bowl victory over Western Michigan. The offense that

averaged 31.5 points should once again be productive, thanks to one of the country’s top triple-option, run-first rushing attacks. The biggest question may be Air Force’s defensive strength. Only four starters return to a unit that was undersized, but fierce, and among the best in the Mountain West. Craig Bohl must improve upon a meager four-win record at Wyoming with just nine returning starters. Transfer QB Cameron Coffman completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 2,734 yards with 15 TDs and 11 interceptions for Indiana in 2012. Shaun Wick and sophomore Brian Hill may be the finest RB duo in this conference. The front four will be the strength of a defense that allowed 32.8 points and 430.8 yards per game last season. A favorable schedule could possibly help New Mexico get six wins and a bowl invitation. Coach Bob Davie wants to complement his option-oriented attack with a reliable passing game. QB Lamar Jordan’s ability to run is superior to his ability to throw. Transfer Austin Apodaca is purely a passer. To boost a pass defense that ranked 92nd in the nation last season, the defense is switching to a 3-3-5 formation.

WEST After five consecutive bowl games, coach Rocky Long’s 7-6 season at San Diego State was a huge disappointment. Success for the Aztecs may depend on battle-tested transfer QB Maxwell Smith, who faced SEC defenses at Kentucky. Their defense allowed just 19.8 points per game last season, and all five secondary starters in their 3-3-5 alignment are returning. In Brian Polian’s second season, Nevada returned to the postseason. That level of success will be a challenge with uncertainty at quarterback, wide receiver, and a shaky O-line. Junior Tyler Stewart is the only QB with college experience. It’s up to the defense, with five key starters back in the front seven, to get them to a bowl game. Fresno State only went 6-8 in 2014, as Tim DeRuyter’s team struggled to score points, and the Bulldogs are still searching for a QB. The defense that gave up 32.4 points and 456 yards per game lost its two best players. The focus will be rebuilding fundamentals and becoming competitive. San Jose State hopes to take a leap forward in Ron Caragher’s third season. Last year, QB Joe Gray threw for 2,305 yards with eleven touchdowns and nine interceptions. Gray will

have a young but experienced offensive line and a bevy of playmakers around him. Last season, the Spartans had one of the nation’s best pass defenses and worst run defenses, allowing 239 rushing yards per game. This young team’s future looks brighter for 2016. Coach Norm Chow is still on the hot seat in Hawaii. Fortunately, he may have his most talented team yet. New OC Don Bailey will run an up-tempo attack, but the battle for the QB spot may continue into the season. Bailey’s offense at Idaho State led the FCS in passing yards per game (348.1). New DC Tom Mason must improve a defense that’s missing the front seven from last season. UNLV made headlines when they hired Tony Sanchez, a high school coach that won six straight state championships. Sanchez must add more muscle to an offense that only ranked 104th nationally in scoring (21.9 ppg). QB Blake Decker threw more interceptions (18) than touchdowns (15) last year. They will also have to turn around a defense that allowed 38.5 points and 293.8 yards rushing per game. Their daunting schedule includes UCLA, Michigan, and Northern Illinois.

PAC 12 NORTH The Pac-12 is closing the gap on the SEC, but since 2004, the conference still lacks a national championship. It won’t be easy for Oregon coach Mark Helfrich to replace Heisman Trophy-winning QB Marcus Mariota, but Eastern Washington transfer Vernon Adams may work out just fine. Adams led the FCS with a passing rating of 183.13 and averaged 9.0 yards per play of total offense, and RB Royce Freeman is drawing Heisman buzz. The defense intends to be way more aggressive in 2015. If David Shaw’s offense at Stanford takes a step forward in QB Kevin Hogan’s final year, they could push for double-digit victories again. Sophomore RB Christian McCaffrey could also make an impact. While the defense that led the Pac-12 in total defense (282.4 ypg) must be revamped, there is still experience in the secondary. For Chris Petersen’s second season, only nine starters return to Washington, and he’ll have to break in a new QB. The ground game is more established. On defense, the front seven must be converted to a 3-4 alignment. Six or seven wins would be considered progress. Cal has shown marked improvement under Sonny Dykes.

Star QB Jared Goff is poised for a breakout season with the nation’s 10th ranked offense. The defense should be better than the one that allowed 42 TD passes. After a 3-9 season, Washington State needs to get back on track. In his fourth season, coach Mike Leach will have new QB Luke Falk. In just six games, Falk finished the season with 13 TD passes and more than 1,800 yards. New defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has only two returning defensive starters from a 5-7 team, so experience and depth will be major issues. At Oregon State, new coach Gary Andersen is a proven leader, but he’ll have to develop a new quarterback. New OC Dave Baldwin has installed an up-tempo spread system, but he’ll have Nick Mitchell, Marcus McMaryion, and Seth Collins, three QBs with zero college experience. However, RB Storm Woods could exceed 1,000 yards, the returning receivers include speedster Victor Bolden, and the line brings back all five players. New coordinator Kalani Sitake is moving the Beavers to a 3-4 defense. The secondary lost a trio of starters but returns with cornerback Larry Scott. They may still be a year away from making serious progress.

PAC 12 SOUTH High expectations are back at USC as the Trojans return with 14 starters from last year’s 9-4 team. QB Cody Kessler headlines an offense that averaged 35.8 points per game in 2014. Scoring points won’t be an issue for coach Steve Sarkisian, but his defense must show improvement after giving up over 400 yards per game. Arizona State has won 20 games over the last two seasons. In spite of some important losses to the offense, QB Mike Bercovici could have a very exciting first year. The defense lost some key players, but coach Todd Graham recruited so well that the replacements should fit right in. UCLA enters their fourth season under Jim Mora with a roster that’s capable of winning the conference title, too. Freshman QB Josh Rosen, the country’s top recruit, may emerge as the team’s starter. The Bruins are also in good shape on defense. Arizona fans hoped coach Rich Rodriguez could do for them what he did for West Virginia, and in just three seasons Rodriguez has surpassed expectations, with their first 10-win season since 1998. Sophomore QB Anu Solomon’s 3,793 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes broke school records. Reggie Gilbert is the rock

of Arizona’s formidable three-man defensive front. If linebacker Scooby Wright can match his sophomore effort, the Wildcats will be hard to beat. Last year Utah had their best season since 2010, but it cost them DC Kalani Sitake and OC Dave Christensen. Aaron Roderick, promoted to co-offensive coordinator, will work with QB Travis Wilson on completing more passes. A tough inside RB, Devontae Booker had a 1,512-yard total. The defense must replace Nate Orchard, who recorded 18.5 sacks, on a unit that ranked second in the conference in total defense, and allowed 393.5 yards per game. Colorado made some advances offensively in 2014, ranking 40th in the country in yards per game. The Buffaloes are hoping to build on that with junior QB Sefo Liufau. In 18 starts, Liufau threw for nearly 5,000 yards and 40 TDs, but he also threw 23 interceptions. Boise State transfer Aaron Baltazar may rotate with RB Christian Powell. Stopping opponents has been a problem. Colorado only ranked 102nd in the nation in rushing defense and 116th in scoring defense last season. New DC Jim Leavitt is charged with putting the Buffs on the right track.

EAST Georgia is the favorite to win the East. The QB job may be an issue, but the offense might revolve around RB Nick Chubb. While the passing game is sorted out, coach Mark Richt will lean on Chubb and a defense that could have one of the best front sevens in the country. Tennessee is on the rise under Butch Jones. With 17 returning starters, expect another jump with QB Joshua Dobbs. In just six games last year, Dobbs had 469 yards rushing and 8 rushing TDs. Experience should improve an O-line that saw some of the most sacks in the FBS. The defense that dominated Iowa could be even stronger. Florida hopes they replaced Will Muschamp with a more offense-minded coach. All eyes will be on Jim McElwain’s decision between two quarterbacks, Will Grier and Treon Harris. McElwain may struggle to establish a running game like he ran at Alabama. The Gators have consistently ranked among the nation’s top 10 defenses. Missouri is known as the “show me” state, and it might show everyone one of the very best pass rushes this season if Gary Pinkel can rebuild the cornerstone of his defense. QB Maty Mauk

and the offense didn’t rule last year, but they did enough to get out of the defense’s way. Now, Mauk will have to raise his game with green receivers. RB Russell Hansbrough could make the difference. The defense at South Carolina was so awful that Steve Spurrier hired Jon Hoke, his DC at Florida, to repair a unit that was 92nd in total defense. Hoke will implement a 4-3 base, but it won’t matter if this unit can’t improve the line. The future of the offense may ride on sophomore QB Connor Mitch. Mark Stoops has produced solid growth for Kentucky. New OC Shannon Dawson supervises two QBs, Patrick Towles and Drew Barker, and there’s plenty of skill players to support them. On the 3-4 defense, 6-4 342 pound nose tackle Melvin Lewis will anchor the line. Vanderbilt ranked last in the SEC in both total offense and scoring offense by a wide margin, and scored only nine TDs in eight conference games. New OC Andy Ludwig will run a QB attack with either Johnny McCrary or Wade Freebeck. Head coach Derek Mason will personally oversee a defense that struggled with pass coverage.

WEST The SEC West will still be college football’s best division in 2015, and Alabama will make another run at the national championship. Coach Nick Saban’s roster is loaded with talent, and the defense should be among the best in the nation if the secondary is solidified. Developing a replacement for receiver Amari Cooper and a new starting quarterback are Saban’s top concerns. Auburn regressed to an 8-5 record in coach Gus Malzahn’s second year. But the Tigers are poised for a rebound with an offense that has produced eleven 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and the defense should show marked progress under new coordinator Will Muschamp. Coach Hugh Freeze’s team at Ole Miss might be even better than his 9-4 squad from last season. The QB position is uncertain, but the receiving corps is among the country’s best, and the offensive line is better. A strong 4-2-5 defense, featuring defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, may lead the way. LSU has some of the most capable players in college football, but many questions remain with the suspension of QB Anthony Jennings. Coach Les Miles must improve a passing attack that failed to throw for more than 150 yards in seven

of eight SEC games. New DC Kevin Steele will revive a pass rush that registered only 19 sacks last season. With the return of QB Brandon Allen, Arkansas should be more dynamic in 2015. They’ll have one of the nation’s best backfields and O-lines, and if Allen improves his passing numbers (2,285 yards, 20 TDs, and five interceptions), the Razorbacks could be contenders. The front seven on a defense that ranked 10th nationally in yards allowed per game must be retooled. At Texas A&M, coach Kevin Sumlin has made rejuvenating the defense that gave up 36.6 points per game in conference contests a priority. QB Kyle Allen is becoming one of the SEC’s top passers. He’ll need more from RBs Tra Carson and Brandon Williams, though, and new OC Dave Christensen must repair a line that allowed 27 sacks. The turnover at Mississippi State won’t be easy to overcome. Seven starters are gone from the offense. Fortunately, Heisman contender QB Dak Prescott returns to shatter more school records. In 2014 Prescott had 3,449 passing yards, and 41 total TDs. The defense that permitted the most passing yards in the SEC lost eight players. OOBG.COM

With an offense that returns with nine starters, including QB Fredi Knighten, coach Blake Anderson and Arkansas State are the favorites here, but they will have to improve defensively. Opponents scored 28 rushing touchdowns in their last seven games. Georgia Southern should be more potent as Willie Fritz molds his spread offense. If the defense plays at the same level, the Eagles could easily repeat as conference champs. In each of Mark Hudspeth’s four seasons, UL Lafayette has gone 9-4 and ended the season at the New Orleans Bowl. To do that again, they’ll have to rely on new players at key positions, including quarterback, and a new defensive coaching staff. Scott Satterfield’s team at Appalachian State returns with 10 starters on each side of the ball. Plenty of defensive experience and a favorable schedule should produce six wins. Dennis Franchione welcomes back 12 starters to Texas State, including his key offensive playmakers. His up-tempo crew must carry the team long enough for the defense to find its way. Joey Jones has done excellent work at South Alabama. Game-ready players from UAB, like QB Cody Clements could help restock an

2015_OOBG_Magazine.indd 64

offense that returns with just three starters. The defense has only two players back. Todd Berry and the ULM Warhawks have eight starters back on their experienced 3-3-5 defense and just five starters back on a questionable offense. After their uneven performance, Berry will take over play-calling duties. The team should be more balanced in 2015. First-year Troy coach Neal Brown was their OC years ago, and he plans to continue calling plays again, with a faster offense. The defense that gave up 40 points five times will be rebuilt as a flexible 4-2-5 alignment. New Mexico State improved on offense late last year, scoring 35 points in their finale at Arkansas State. If the defense’s 10 returning players can keep up, the Aggies might double last season’s win total (two). Idaho finished 2014 with its third consecutive one-win season. After showing some improvement, the defense shifts to a 3-4 scheme. Paul Petrino gets back his top rusher and passer. Patience will be required for Georgia State. With 16 returning starters, including 10 on offense, Trent Miles will continue rebuilding a roster that lacked talent, depth, and size. The defense allowed 303.4 rushing yards per game, and had just 12 sacks.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Air Force Falcons’ turnaround was not expected, and even though they might not come up with 10 wins again, they should still be able to keep the energy going for another bowl bid.

Last year Akron solidified its gains. In 2015, the Zips have sufficient potential and experience to take things forward. Coach Terry Bowden still needs to figure out how to replace their leading rusher, the top two receiving targets, the top two defensive ends, and other key players.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: It’s quite likely that the Falcons won’t be a top-50 team again this year, but they aren’t far away from still playing at a top-75 level. In 2015 Air Force plays seven teams that ranked 94th or worse last year. However, a tough road slate with visits to Michigan State, Navy, Colorado State, Boise State, and New Mexico should prevent the win total from passing the six-win barrier.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the Alabama Crimson Tide are more than ready for another run at college football’s national championship. Head coach Nick Saban’s team needs to address a few concerns on both sides of the ball, but this team’sroster is packed with talent, and the defense should be among the best in the nation if the secondary is strengthened.

The Appalachian State Mountaineers experienced a nearly unprecedented turnaround over the second half of 2014 and return with 20 starters and most of their second string. Things went right for the Mountaineers at the end of the year, which is why they’re now Sun Belt contenders.

PREDICTION:

The Tide need to find a replacement for receiver Amari Cooper and a new starting QB. Facing Wisconsin in Arlington, Texas will be a tough test with an uncertain offense. On defense, the front seven should help this program keep their reputation among the nation’s most impressive units.

The three best SBC teams according to last year’s ratings will all visit Kidd Brewer Stadium, three of the four road opponents ranked 97th or worse, as did three of four non-conference rivals. If the Mountaineers are able to establish a top-80 level of play, better than 2014’s but a step down from the level of the last six games, they have everything they need to win 10 games.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Arizona Wildcats made the Pac-12 title game, got their first 10-win season, and achieved their first Top 25 finish since 1998. This season the Wildcats can count on the backfield of Anu Solomon and Nick Wilson, a Lombardi Award winner in Scooby Wright, and also head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The Arizona State Sun Devils have won 20 games over the last two seasons and have finished as a top 25 team in consecutive years under coach Todd Graham. In 2015, ASU should be in contention for the Pac-12 South title once again.

PREDICTION:

Rodriguez has made Arizona shine and in 2015 the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback is no longer a rookie, this star defender has two years of eligibility left. Add to that the possibility that the Wildcats will get a head start on coming up with 10 wins by opening with UTSA, Nevada, and Northern Arizona. Of the four toughest rivals on the schedule, UCLA, Stanford, USC, and Arizona State, only the Bruins will be making it to Tucson this fall.

Arizona State returns with 12 starters in 2015. However, there are concerns at wide receiver and offensive tackle. Even so, the Sun Devils have plenty of talent and a strong coaching staff to contend for the Pac-12 title.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Arkansas Razorbacks finished the season by winning four out of its last six games. This season Bret Bielema’s team has QB Brandon Allen back, one of the nation’s top backfields and offensive lines. The front seven on defense need some work, but there’s enough talent to keep the Hogs near the top of the SEC.

In 2015 the Arkansas State Red Wolves will keep Blake Anderson as head coach and could truly play a role in the Sun Belt race when you take into account there’s a great deal of offensive starters back and tons of experience. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: The Razorbacks can count on QB Allen as the starter working in front of a top-flight offensive line. With a strong defense, the Razorbacks must find a way to win on the road in league play (something they haven’t been able to do since October 2012) and also learn how to win close games.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

ASU has experience and depth, their offense both improved last year and returns with almost every weapon. The Red Wolves have one of the league’s best running backs (non-Elijah McGuire division) and receiving corps, and their defensive front six are active. Moreover, their offensive line and secondary unit have also improved.

OUTLOOK

The Army Black Knights have enough interesting sophomores and juniors on their two-deep to think about the possibility of 2016 being a better year, but not the same case can be said about 2015. The Knights’ run game won’t be a problem, and their passing game might be able to improve, but the defensive front is going to need some work to allow for defensive improvement.

After winning the SEC Championship and losing against Florida State in the national title, the Auburn Tigers regressed to an 8-5 record in 2015. This is year 3 for coach Gus Malzahn with an offense that’s poised to be one of the nation’s best, and a defense that improved under new coordinator Will Muschamp. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: Army will face five of six home opponents that ranked worse than 80th in F/+ in 2014 and two road opponents that ranked worse than 115th. If the Black Knights can improve from 121st to 105th or so, they could manage to shine in the win column once again.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

With QB Jeremy Johnson in charge, the Tigers should be a dangerous passing team in 2015. The combination of talent at both running back and on the offensive line, in addition to coach Malzahn’s history of creating 1,000-yard rushers, means Johnson should have a solid counterpart.

OUTLOOK

2014 was a step back for the Ball State Cardinals. But now the skill positions are stocked, and the line is more experienced. If the secondary is able to stay healthy, the defense might be able to improve.

The Baylor Bears have improved tremendously under head coach Art Briles, and it looks like 2015 will be another successful season. The Bears can count on new QB Seth Russell and a supporting cast that is among the best in the nation with a deep receiving corps and solid offensive line.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: The schedule is looking good for Ball State in 2015. They will face eight games against teams projected 101st or worse, and with their current foundation, the Cardinals should be going bowling for a third straight time in a row. It all depends on the quarterback to see if BSU competes or not for the MAC title.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

18 starters are back for the Bears and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also bound to find more than suitable replacements for players not coming back. Baylor might not be good enough to go unbeaten, however with Oklahoma and Texas at home, if the Bears are able to win two of the three road games at Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and TCU to get to 11-1, in 2015, they could be very successful.

OUTLOOK

Head coach Bryan Harsin had a successful first year with the Boise State Broncos, winning 12 games, including a 38-30 victory over Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. In 2015, this program is back among the nation’s top 25 teams with 17 returning starters.

Steve Addazio’s teams are famous for having a personality, and the Boston College Eagles are coming off back-toback bowl games. In 2015 there are just nine starters back. Coach Addazio as well as the Eagles need to do a lot of hard work in order to be successful in the tough Atlantic Division.

PREDICTION:

The Broncos must replace QB Grant Hedrick and RB Jay Ajayi, but this team is loaded for another run at a doubledigit win season. However, even if Boise State beats Washington, BYU, and Virginia before rolling through the Mountain West on the way to a 13-0 season, it would take really hard work to get into the playoff.

Boston College is going in the right direction after taking over a 2–10 team and putting together back-to-back winning seasons. However, it remains to be seen if the Eagles can become a true contender in the ACC. The strength of the defense is in the front seven, but an inexperienced offense might get in the way of progress.

OUTLOOK

2014 wasn’t great for the Bowling Green Falcons. They were mixed in with a MAC East that was full of teams in various stages of rebuilding and even though they almost clinched a division title, November was a disaster. In 2015, the BGSU’s offense is looking good and there is a great mix of experience and young athleticism.

The Buffalo Bulls have a new head coach in Lance Leipold after spending eight seasons at Wisconsin-Whitewater. He might lose as many games in 2015 as he did there, but with an easy schedule and experience on offense, the Bulls might just be bowl eligible in Leipold’s first try.

PREDICTION:

The offensive line returns with five starters who have combined for 125 career starts, including all-conference guard and three-year starter Alex Huettel. Bowling Green could do a lot of positive things in 2015, but the Falcons could also struggle to defend their division crown if teams like Akron or Ohio take steps forward.

The Bulls need to take a long look at both lines. Even so, with a schedule that features eight teams that ranked 98th or worse in F/+ in 2014, coach Leipold and UB could go bowling.

OUTLOOK

The BYU Cougars’ offense is strong; ranking No. 18 before quarterback Taysom Hill broke his leg in the second quarter against Utah State. In 2014, BYU lost four straight games before recovering to finish 8–5. This year the Cougars need to make it through a difficult September to break the eight-win barrier for the first time since 2011.

In 2014 the California Golden Bears were close to a bowl game in the fall. This is the third year for head coach Sonny Dykes, and with star quarterback Jared Goff ready for a breakout season, reaching the postseason in 2015 is a strong possibility.

PREDICTION:

The Cougars will make it into Mid-Major Land in October. Each of the first four rivals will feature a new coach or quarterback, and while Missouri will come late, the Tigers are breaking in a brand new receiving corps.

The schedule is looking extremely tough for the Golden Bears with an opening day visit from Grambling State, which means that matching the five wins from 2014 will require an upset during a difficult second-half schedule that includes trips to UCLA, Oregon, and Stanford, and visits from USC and Arizona State.

OUTLOOK

The Central Michigan Chippewas have a new head coach in John Bonamego. 2015 is packed with playmakers, with the second string returning almost intact, and a lot of 2014’s backups having posted numbers when given the chance. Also, Cooper Rush might surprise us all.

The Charlotte 49ers come into the FBS ranks with a promising offense, but a defense that might need some work. The 49ers went 5-6 in both seasons as an FCS independent, posting decent numbers but with difficulties against teams ranked higher on the FCS scale.

PREDICTION:

The Chippewas face a tough schedule in 2015. They will play against six rivals that ranked 90th or worse in last year’s F/+ rankings, five of which come in the final six games. If coach Bonamego is able to keep morale high, CMU could do damage and even make it to bowl eligibility for a fourth straight year.

It’s possible that Charlotte can get further ahead in the FBS than Georgia State did, but it won’t be easy. Their schedule is looking manageable with seven opponents that ranked 96th or worse in F/+ last year (four at home), but a slow start could be a disaster, as five of the seven worst rivals come up in the first seven games.

OUTLOOK

The Cincinnati Bearcats come into 2015 loaded with talent with Hosey Williams and Tion Green joining Mike Boone in the backfield, and QB Gunner Kiel with each of his top seven weapons back from one of the nation’s better passing attacks. The Bearcats improved and won nine games in 2014 despite massive injuries; if they manage to stay healthy, this team is the safest bet in the AAC.

The Clemson Tigers have won at least 10 games in four consecutive seasons, and even with personnel losses on both sides of the ball, this program should be in contention for the ACC title in 2015. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is a true rising star and will be surrounded by a deep group of skill players. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: The Bearcats must replace five offensive linemen (including an all-conference tackle) but have four back. The defensive front seven have some work to do, but the secondary is looking healthy. Cincy plays Temple and UCF at home, and when they go to Memphis on September 24, the Bearcats will be taking on another team that is looking for its defensive footing.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

Even though the Tigers are transitioning on both lines, they need to seize the opportunity when the Seminoles are vulnerable. In 2015 Clemson only leaves home once to be at Louisville on September 17th and is gone until October 24th. That’s five of the first six games in Death Valley. In addition, the season kicks off with contests against Wofford and Appalachian State, giving them time to get the defense back in shape.

OUTLOOK

The Colorado Buffaloes managed to improve in 2014, even with a 2-10 record and a winless Pac-12 season. If Mike MacIntyre’s team is able to change the margins a little more and sweep the team’s non-conference schedule, the Buffaloes will really start showing progress.

The Colorado State Rams have a new head coach in Mike Bobo who spent the last eight seasons as Georgia’s offensive coordinator/lightning rod. In 2015 the Rams need to take into account all of their losses (coach Jim McElwain and quarterback Garrett Grayson) and expect a drop-off. Even so, talent could ensure a minimal fall if coach Bobo is able to make things happen.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: Reaching the .500 mark in 2015 will take a lot of work for the Buffaloes, but you can count on the opening month featuring four rivals that Colorado is likely to outscore.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

In 2015 the Rams had a fantastic offense and even though they need to replace Garrett Grayson and Dee Hart, the receiving corps is also great and the line should be solid. In addition, there’s also potential at quarterback.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Connecticut Huskies ended up with a 2-10 record in head coach Bob Diaco’s first year. In 2015 UConn needs to energize its offense after averaging just 15.5 points per game last year. The defense has seven starters back, featuring one of the top linebacking corps in the American Athletic Conference.

2015 could be a good year for the Duke Blue Devils and head coach David Cutcliffe. The schedule looks manageable, the facilities have been upgraded, and there are 12 starters back to make some noise in the ACC Coastal. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: UConn hasn’t made a bowl game in four years and in 2015 will face a difficult non-conference schedule with games at BYU and Missouri and conference road games at UCF and Cincinnati. Their defense is a strong point, however the Huskies need to improve on offense to even think about a bowl bid late in the season.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

The Blue Devils have issues to resolve on offense, however their non-conference schedule (Northwestern being the biggest challenge) is easy, and avoiding Florida State, Clemson, and Louisville in conference play gives Duke a chance to come up with at least six wins and another bowl berth.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the East Carolina Pirates will have to do without three-year starting quarterback Shane Carden, as well as the all-time FBS receptions leader, Justin Hardy. In addition, offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley is gone and the defense needs to replace more than half of its starters.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have gone almost three decades bowl-less, however head coach Chris Creighton is winning offseasons and has an exciting young QB. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: This season the Pirates’ continued success will be determined by new talent. The chances are high for a new quarterback to emerge from four three-star players to choose from. There are other questions left, but if ECU can win at least seven games, then this team is a sure AAC contender.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

SITUATION

2H OU ATS

The Eagles still need a couple of years to improve, as does QB Reggie Bell. In 2015, EMU will host four teams that ranked 105th or worse in F/+ last year, so if the good performances are well-timed, the win total could be much better than 2014’s.

OUTLOOK

The Florida Atlantic Owls hired head coach Charlie Partridge thinking about his recruiting expertise and that the 41 year-old managed to come up with the second-best Conference USA class. It remains to be seen if he can produce on-field results in 2015. If FAU starts slow or plays as poorly on the road as they did in 2014, the Owls might just come up with another 3-9 campaign.

The Florida Gators have replaced former head coach Will Muschamp with Jim McElwain, a Mountain West coach with an offensive background. Muschamp wasn’t able to identify an offensive coordinator or quarterback, and McElwain inherits a program that won just 11 games in the past two seasons. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: The Owls will be experienced at quarterback and in the trenches, but they will be dealing with a young receiver and defensive back. Victories might come in September as Florida Atlantic plays four teams that ranked 108th or worse in F/+ last season, but three come in the first four games of the year (and two are on the road).

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

The former Colorado State coach is looking to upgrade the Gators’ offensive talent and look into lagging facilities. McElwain is faced with a huge rebuild and will need time to field an SEC East contender at a school where championships were once the norm.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the FIU Panthers had an opportunistic defense that added to an aimless offense. In 2015, the question remains if head coach Ron Turner is able to build toward a bowl bid. Most of the defense is back and the offense isn’t likely to worsen.

The Florida State Seminoles need to fix some issues in 2015, but they’re still loaded for another run at the ACC title. Coach Jimbo Fisher needs to replace QB Jameis Winston, and the defense has to improve after giving up 5.5 yards per play last year.

PREDICTION:

The Panthers could be a much better team this year if FIU’s offense is able to figure out how to move the chains. You can expect the defense to make some big plays. Don’t expect much if the offense can’t produce early in the season.

2015 is still a year with high expectations for the Seminoles after winning 29 consecutive games before falling to Oregon in the Rose Bowl. However, with a super young offense and a defense that needs serious work, FSU might be left out of title contention.

OUTLOOK

Head coach Tim DeRuyter starts his fourth season with the Fresno State Bulldogs, which has a roster of talented and fast players, but also young and thin. This will be a difficult year for the Bulldogs as all that talent and athleticism on the roster matures into a solid team once again.

The Georgia Bulldogs come into 2015 as the favorite to win the SEC East title. This season the offense will count on a talented sophomore running back Nick Chubb. Their passing game needs to be fixed, but the Bulldogs can still count on Chubb and one of the SEC’s top defenses. Georgia will have to deal with one of the SEC’s toughest crossover schedules with games against Auburn and Alabama.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: Young talent is everywhere this year with the Bulldogs and it’s what will determine whether this team is a contender in this year’s MWC West race or not. 2015 seems to be a transition year for Fresno State, however if the core of the roster and coaching staff stick together into 2016 and 2017, the Bulldogs are going to be great.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

This year the Bulldogs have the talent needed to make a run at the SEC title and the College Football Playoff. However, the offense needs to be as good despite the changes, and the defense needs to continue improving.

OUTLOOK

The Georgia Southern Eagles have another opportunity at an 8-0 Sun Belt campaign. However, the team has lost four offensive line starters, and this might mean that the Eagles could stumble into the 70s, or even the 80s when you think about injuries.

2014 wasn’t a great year for the Georgia State Panthers. However, they have quite a lot of experience as they head into 2015 with the return of two quarterbacks with starting experience, its top two receivers, an exciting tight end, seven offensive linemen with starting experience, every defensive lineman, seven of nine linebackers who averaged at least one tackle per game, every defensive back, and an excellent place-kicker.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: This season Georgia Southern is going to be strong and a favorite in the Sun Belt, especially when you consider their schedule, which gives the team an opportunity to avoid UL-Lafayette and Arkansas State for a second straight year. A game against Appalachian State could be tough, but the odds of moving from 8-0 to 16-0 all-time in the Sun Belt are looking good.

As Georgia State goes into head coach Trent Miles’ third year, the team seems to be ready to move forward. In 2015 the passing game could be strong, the run game and secondary don’t look bad either. With a schedule that features the season opener against FBS newcomer Charlotte, that FBS losing streak could end. The Panthers have an opportunity to make it out of the SBC hole with home games against Charlotte, Liberty, and Troy, and a possible winning road game against NMSU.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets suffered some vital losses in the backfield and at receiver, however this team is positioned for another run at the Coastal Division title. Coach Paul Johnson’s team returns with 13 starters, the most important being quarterback Justin Thomas.

Head coach Norm Chow takes on 2015 in one of FBS’ hottest seats as the Hawaii Warriors have won just eight games in three years. This year features a brutal early schedule that could make things difficult for Chow, however an improved team could rack up wins if the Warriors maintain their confidence.

PREDICTION:

The Yellow Jackets need to return to the ACC Championship Game in 2015. And it’s a strong possibility with a great mix of offensive and defensive talent in the Coastal. However, their schedule will be tough with crossover games against Florida State and Clemson.

Hawaii needs to replace a quarterback, running back, and a receiver. The offensive line could do a good job, and if the defensive line does what it needs to do, the back seven or eight of the defense could be fantastic. The Warriors will be dealing with a difficult early schedule, but if the team is able to keep a high morale through the first five games, wins will occur.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the Houston Cougars have Tom Herman as a new head coach. The 40 year-old comes into the American Athletic Conference as one of the league’s contenders with the Cougars having one of the most talented rosters in the league.

The Idaho Vandals made progress in 2014 even though it was the team’s third consecutive one-win season. In 2015 the offense should be improved now that QB Matt Linehan has a year under his belt and has the help of some proven playmakers.

PREDICTION:

Houston has enough talent to compete in the AAC, however there are questions on the offensive line. Still, the Cougars could certainly reach for their ninth bowl appearance in the last 11 years.

It’s not going to be easy for the Vandals this year, but they’re going to be strong enough to face New Mexico State, Troy, and Wofford. Idaho won’t beat all three, but they could come up with two of the victories and also with a few upsets.

OUTLOOK

This is coach Tim Beckman’s critical fourth season with the Illinois Fighting Illini and he enters it with a 12–25 overall record and a 4–20 mark in the Big Ten. Anything could happen for a team that has underachieved for most of the last ten years.

The Indiana Hoosiers improved tremendously but then lost their focus. 2015 will be a do-or-die campaign year for Kevin Wilson. The Big Ten East has gotten more difficult, so this team will have to continue to show improvement (and stay healthy) if they want to reach the postseason (or a bowl).

PREDICTION:

The Fighting Illini need to win early. If they can maintain the top-40 or top-50 form that they showed for half of last season, they could come up with wins on the schedule. But it will be tough with trips to North Carolina and Iowa, while hosting Big Ten powerhouses Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.

In 2015 the Hoosiers only play two teams that ranked better than 45th in F/+ and five that, like Indiana, ranked worse than 80th; if IU can recover into the No. 60-75 range, they can come up with wins.

OUTLOOK

This will be Kirk Ferentz’s 17th season with the Iowa Hawkeyes. He has come up with a high-floor, low-ceiling program, that’s unable to collapse or return to an elite level. For 2015, it’s safe to assume seven or eight wins against a weak schedule.

After a 5-19 record the last two seasons, Iowa State Cyclones’ coach Paul Rhoads has a lot to prove. This team went winless in the Big 12 last season, even losing to Kansas, therefore improving by a significant margin might be tough. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: Three starters return on the offensive line, but the Hawkeyes need to replace both tackles, including Outland Trophy winner Brandon Scherff. Both starters return at defensive end, but the team won’t be getting back either starter at defensive tackle.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

SITUATION

2H OU

In 2015 Rhoads’ team needs to stay healthy and have an offense that’s more explosive and efficient. The defense also needs work, but not enough to consistently slow down quality Big 12 offenses. Getting to six victories and reaching bowl-eligibility — will be a test for Iowa State.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the Kansas Jayhawks have a new head coach in David Beaty. The Texas native was hired in order to recruit better. And by taking a look at the worst roster in the Big 12, the 44 year-old coach has a lot of work ahead of him. There are just six starters back, and Kansas might only win this fall on the recruiting trail.

2014 was a nine-win season for the Kansas State Wildcats and this year Bill Snyder’s team needs to find a star QB, replace a key wide receiver, and answer questions regarding the front seven on defense. These issues must be addressed if Kansas State wants to compete for a Big 12 crown.

PREDICTION:

Coach Beaty will certainly try to rebuild a winning football program in Lawrence, but it will be tough. KU has endured a series of unsuccessful campaigns since an Orange Bowl victory in 2008, and in 2015 the team’s roster is not looking good. The Jayhawks and Beaty have their work cut out for themselves.

The schedule gives the Cats a chance to aim for double-digit wins this season. The non-conference slate is a guaranteed 3-0 start, and with TCU, Oklahoma, and Baylor all coming to Kansas, this team can expect nine wins in the regular season, and could even come up with ten and a bowl victory.

OUTLOOK

The Kent State Golden Flashes had a difficult 2014, beginning 0-6 and finishing 2-9. 2015 should be different with RB Trayion Durham back, and also some other 2013 contributors who watched from the sidelines.

2014 was a success for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats. Even with a disappointing second half that still left the team at home during bowl season, Stoops was able to build a more competitive team. If the Wildcats can improve by just one game this year, a postseason berth is quite likely.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: Coach Paul Haynes signed a superb recruiting class in February and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-deep should be deeper, faster, and more athletic. If the receiving corps are able to come up with a decent No. 1 target, if there are no serious injuries, and if there are improvements in the trenches, then the Golden Flashes could at least be a mid-tier MAC team.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

In 2015 the Cats need a sixth win. The talent level and the depth are both improving, and with five home games in the first six, and with Louisiana, Eastern Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Charlotte guaranteeing four wins, the UK can really make things happen this season.

OUTLOOK

The UL-Lafayette Cajuns’ transition from 2014 to 2015 might be a lot less painful than expected. Coach Mark Hudspeth has a lot of depth, and the schedule for a fifth straight nine-win season is pretty doable. However, there’s still a lot of talent to be replaced.

Coach Todd Berry’s 2015 Warhawks should be competitive once again simply because of a defense that was one of the best in the mid-major spectrum and it returns with two of its top four linemen, a great deal of exciting underclassmen, its top three linebackers, and four of its top five defensive backs. Louisiana-Monroe should see a lot of play-making potential from their speedy 3-3-5 defense.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: In 2015 UL-Lafayette will have an opportunity for another nine-win campaign with the non-conference schedule looking good, with Kentucky replacing Ole Miss and Akron replacing Boise State, and no Georgia Southern. With a victory at Appalachian State or Arkansas State, the Sun Belt title might still be within reach, however the quality will suffer.

Ever since their successful 2012 season, ULM has fallen from eight wins, down to six, and finally down to four. However, this program is looking pretty strong and healthy. A victory at Tulsa might just get things going again, the Golden Hurricane (with a new head coach) haven’t been themselves for a couple of years now. The Warhawks face only two power rivals in non-conference play. It’s quite possible that in 2015 ULM is able to go 2-2 in non-conference and reach six or seven wins overall.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs should remain aggressive. However, with defensive losses, things could get difficult. Without QB Cody Sokol and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, Louisiana Tech needs to be able to somehow keep their momentum going.

In 2014 the Louisville Cardinals had a successful first season in the ACC, winning nine games, which included a road trip to Notre Dame. The program achieved this with a top-10 defense and 10 NFL draft picks. Bobby Petrino’s second year at the helm could be even more challenging than it was a year ago.

PREDICTION:

Even though the Bulldogs need to make some key replacements, this is still a team loaded with talent. The schedule brings Conference USA East dark horse, Middle Tennessee, to Ruston and avoids Marshall. But Louisiana Tech will also travel to Kansas State, Mississippi State, Western Kentucky, and also meet West contender, Rice.

The Cards have to replace a lot of talent – they need a QB to appear, receivers to shine, three new offensive linemen to emerge, and a rebuilt secondary – and they have also had plenty of changes with the coaching staff over the last two seasons. These things and a tough schedule that includes Auburn and Clemson in two of the first three games, could mean that 2015 will be a difficult year for Louisville.

OUTLOOK

The LSU Tigers have one of the nation’s most talented rosters, but there are plenty of concerns for this program in 2015. The offense needs to be better and the quarterbacks also need to improve. The Tigers have a new defensive coordinator in Kevin Steele who will try to fix a pass rush that registered only 19 sacks last year.

In 2015 the Marshall Thundering Herd’s strengths (pass defense & big plays on offense) need to be just as strong this year, but its weaknesses (run defense) needs to be improved. That should be enough to make for a volatile 10- or 11-win team. With QB Rakeem Cato, Tommy Shuler, the team’s top three tacklers on the defensive line, and three of four at linebacker all gone, it remains to be seen what the Herd can do next.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: The schedule will make it hard for LSU to win the SEC West, but to be successful this year they need to come up with at least one win at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Alabama. Also, in 2015 the Tigers’ new starting quarterback needs to improve on a weak passing attack that failed to throw for more than 150 yards in seven of eight SEC games.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

If Marshall falls into a late-season disaster once again, then a November slate that features trips to both MTSU and WKU could be difficult to overcome. Even so, it would be shocking if the Herd didn’t win 10-plus games for the third straight year.

OUTLOOK

The Maryland Terrapins had a great debut season in the Big Ten that featured a bowl berth. In 2015 coach Randy Edsall needs to replace his quarterback, his defensive coordinator, and 11 other starters from his starting lineup. The Terrapins could make it through the non-conference schedule, but will face one of the Big Ten’s toughest conference schedules.

Defense is not a strong unit for the Minutemen, however UMass’ offense is likely to be strong in 2015. If the team gets the breaks they didn’t get last year, they could possibly come out with six wins.

PREDICTION:

This year the Minutemen’s schedule has them facing eight teams that ranked worse than 90th in 2014. Their defense has struggled and hasn’t been revamped by recruiting. However, their offense can get them far in the MAC. If Blake Frohnapfel and Tajae Sharpe can manage to stay healthy and get a few more big plays from the run game, UMass could threaten for bowl eligibility.

The Terps will face only two of five road games against teams projected worse than 40th and only five total games against teams projected worse than 60th. Maryland could struggle to hit more than about 5-7 or 6-6.

OUTLOOK

Last year the Memphis Tigers were competitive against big-time teams and claimed a share of the ACC championship. There are seven starters back at offense, but coach Justin Fuente needs to replace eight starters and a coordinator on the defensive side of the ball.

This is year 5 for Al Golden at the helm of the Miami Hurricanes and he still has work to do for his team to climb back to the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite. This program is stacked with talent with seven players drafted in April and a solid offense. Still, the defense has been a major problem.

PREDICTION:

In 2015 Memphis will be a top challenger in the AAC. With Paxton Lynch at quarterback, the Tigers will have a potent offense, one that can certainly overcome whatever a rebuilding defense allows. A running game featuring two physical, punishing backs could be potent. The defense needs to replace eight players, and how the secondary develops in a pass-oriented conference, will determine what happens next.

Even though the Canes will face issues on both sides of the ball in 2015, this could still be the year they return to ACC title contention thanks to a developing star quarterback. However, Miami will face a harsh October stretch that includes Florida State (in Tallahassee) and Clemson.

OUTLOOK

This is head coach Chuck Martin’s second year with the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks and he hopes a lot more progress will take place. In 2014 the team lost 10 games, but lost five games by one possession (Eastern Kentucky, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Central Michigan, and Ohio). The RedHawks will only have three starters back at offense, but they can count on eight starters returning on defense.

The Michigan Wolverines have brought head coach Jim Harbaugh back to Ann Arbor. In 2015, this team needs to find a quarterback and solidify the play of the offensive line to accompany what should be a steady defense.

PREDICTION:

If the Wolverines’ defense is able to play like it did last season and if the offense keeps things going, this team might go bowling in 2015. There could be some 50/50 games against Utah, Minnesota, and Penn State on the road, and Northwestern, BYU, and Oregon State at home, but Michigan can do it.

Miami faces seven teams that ranked 105th or worse in F/+ in 2014, and five that ranked better than 70th. If they’re able to do well in the close ones, in 2015 they could possibly make it toward .500 for the first time in five years.

OUTLOOK

The Michigan State Spartans are in the wrong division to be a favorite to reach Indianapolis, but they could do a great job in 2015 with strong quarterback play and possibly the best run defense in the country.

The MTSU Blue Raiders are 11-5 in conference play since joining Conference USA, they’ve been bowl eligible twice, even while missing out on a trip at 6-6 last fall. If Marshall slips, MTSU could end up an East favorite in 2015.

PREDICTION:

The Spartans have a gifted quarterback, strong-to-dominant play on both the offensive and defensive lines, and 24 seniors. In 2015 Michigan State must show they also have elite talent at their other skill positions to reach their goals of winning the Big Ten and making the College Football Playoff.

Even though the Raiders aren’t threatening to become a conference power, they’re winning, and they have one of the conference’s more proven rosters. MTSU will have to face Alabama in Week 2, but after that the schedule looks much better. If the Raiders are decent against all teams outside of the top 50, this team should have opportunities for road wins against FAU, UTSA, and more.

OUTLOOK

The Minnesota Golden Gophers were half away from winning the Big Ten West Division last fall. Even though coach Jerry Kill still needs to build his program, and in 2015 just four starters are back on offense, a strong defense and a home-friendly schedule could give the Gophers a chance at the Big West crown.

The Ole Miss Rebels have increased their win total in coach Hugh Freeze’s three seasons with the team, and in 2015 this program could be even better than last season’s 9-4 team. Even though there are questions at quarterback, the receiving corps is among the nation’s best, and the offensive line is also looking good.

PREDICTION:

In 2014 Minnesota was picked to finish fifth in the Big Ten West but ended up pushing Wisconsin to a final-week showdown for the division title. This year the schedule suggests the Gophers will be in close games and this introduces a wide array of outcomes from a 6-6 to Big Ten West champs.

Ole Miss will have to deal with road trips to Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and Mississippi State – in addition to the home games against LSU and Arkansas. However, the Rebels can count on a strong defense, which is headlined by defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, so a ten-win season is a strong possibility.

OUTLOOK

2014 was a fantastic year for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. And even though there are only seven starters back in 2015, Dan Mullenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team has a lot of talent, including Heisman contender quarterback Dak Prescott.

Following two trips to the SEC title game, the Missouri Tigers have certainly been one of the biggest success stories of conference-to-conference shuffling, winning 23 games in the last two seasons.

PREDICTION:

The schedule is looking difficult for the Bulldogs with four tough SEC road games to go along with home dates against LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss. With seven starters gone on offense and eight on defense, there is a lot to work on this season.

In 2015 the Tigers need to win the SEC East for a third straight year. Missouri will face Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida at home, and will miss Alabama, Auburn, and LSU. If this program can use September to their advantage, and head into October as they begin the SEC slate with Kentucky, things could look good for the Tigers.

OUTLOOK

The Navy Midshipmen have been to six bowls in seven years under head coach Ken Niumatalolo. Star QB Keenan Reynolds is back this season and a seventh bowl game is certainly a possibility for Navy.

Coach Mike Riley has given the Nebraska Cornhuskers a breath of fresh air, and in 2015 it remains to be seen if he can deliver better results than Bo Pelini. Riley inherits a roster that is fun but needs some work.

PREDICTION:

It remains to be seen if Navy can contend for an American Athletic Conference championship in their first season in the new league. Only one rival, Notre Dame, is expected to contend for the Top 25. UCF and Cincinnati are missed on the American portion of the schedule for the Midshipmen.

The non-conference schedule could be tough for the Huskers, with an opener at home against BYU and a trip to Miami two weeks later. However, the conference schedule could bring nine wins, even in transition. Nebraska should contend in the Big Ten West if the defense improves.

OUTLOOK

Last year, the Nevada Wolf Pack had a little improvement with a more experienced team, but with few seniors and plenty of youngsters filling the two-deep, 2015 is looking like another tough year for the Wolf Pack.

Head coach Bob Davie has been with the New Mexico Lobos for the last three years and has tried to rebuild a broken program that in 2015 could finally show some major improvement. The Lobos return with a solid young quarterback, a loaded backfield, four players with starting experience on the offensive line, three of their top five tacklers on the defensive line, five of seven at linebacker, and five of seven at defensive back.

PREDICTION: The Wolf Pack’s schedule in 2015 is light, even with a non-conference slate that features Arizona and Texas A&M. The schedule will have them play seven opponents that ranked 102nd or worse last season. If Nevada falls into the 80s or so, they’ll have an opportunity at reaching bowl eligibility again.

OUTLOOK

The New Mexico State Aggies improved on offense late in 2014, scoring 35 points in the finale at Arkansas State. The defense returns with 10 starters and if they’re able to keep up, this team might be able to double last season’s win total.

2015 is head coach Larry Fedora’s critical fourth season at the helm of the North Carolina Tar Heels, and he can count on both talent and high expectations. QB Marquise Williams is back at center on offense and the Tar Heels can count on former Auburn coach Gene Chizik to work on what was a horrible defense in 2014.

PREDICTION:

New Mexico State needs to win four games. The offense should improve and this means an upset or three. Even though four victories isn’t a whole lot, it would mean that things are improving for the Aggies.

In 2015 QB Williams needs to stay healthy and the defense has to improve. The Tar Heels play the ACC’s Coastal Division, which means they don’t have to worry about league heavyweights Florida State and Clemson in the standings. A winning season and another bowl trip are quite possible.

OUTLOOK

In 2014, after recovering in the final five games, the NC State Wolfpack won more games after Nov. 1st — finishing 4-1 — than they won in all of 2013. After improving from 3-9 to 8-5 in head coach Dave Doeren’s second season, this team demonstrated it can certainly keep the good energy going.

The Northern Illinois Huskies have plenty of experience now that they have fielded their worst team since 2009 and still won their fifth straight MAC West title. In 2015 head coach Rod Carey needs to figure out what to do about the offensive line and about the fact that both Toledo and WMU have tons of athleticism that could do a lot of damage.

PREDICTION:

The Wolfpack improved their win total by five games from 2013 to 2014 and this year they would like to take it even further with a veteran quarterback and seven starters back on defense.

This season the Huskies will face difficult tests from WMU and Toledo, and Ball State, who should be improved. The division will again be tough, but Northern Illinois will most likely be a better team. Plus, they get both Ball State and Western Michigan at home.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the North Texas Mean Green faced extreme turnover, replacing quarterback, leading rusher, two leading receivers (and starting tight end), six members of his defensive front seven and more. In 2015, North Texas should recover from last year’s No. 125 F/+ ranking.

In 2015 the Northwestern Wildcats return with a great deal of the depth chart (15 starters), but coach Pat Fitzgerald needs to plug holes at key positions like quarterback. Fitzgerald’s roster is looking good but he better regain some former magic if the Wildcats want to win the Big Ten West Division.

PREDICTION:

This season head coach Dan McCarney has options on offense and injury-related depth. However, a tough schedule might not give the Mean Green a chance to rebound. But three of the season’s most winnable games (SMU, Southern Miss, and MTSU) are away from home, and any chance of a return to bowl eligibility will depend on North Texas figuring out how to improve away from Denton.

The Wildcats have ranked between 66th and 76th in the F/+ rankings in five of the last six seasons. Close-game luck will determine what happens with NU. They have depth and athleticism, and could take a step forward in 2016 and beyond.

OUTLOOK

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have won at least eight games in each of head coach Brian Kelly’s five seasons, and in 2015 they will try to rebound after an 8-5 campaign last year.

In 2015 the Ohio Bobcats will have a lot of experience to put out there. Head coach Frank Solich has to make decisions at quarterback, with JD Sprague and Derrius Vick battling to a draw. However, Ohio has a host of young athletes hoping to overtake more seasoned variables.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: The Fighting Irish have undergone a two-year slide, but Kelly’s team shouldn’t make it a reoccurring event this year. Notre Dame has experience and additional depth that should work out in 2015.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

Coach Solich has alternatives, even though there are still concerns at quarterback, receiver, defensive tackle, and safety, there are still sufficient playmakers to cause some damage. Ohio needs to do better away from home, with the October 3rd trip to Akron looming large; Solich’s track record could mean great things for the Bobcats.

OUTLOOK

The Ohio State Buckeyes come into 2015 as the favorite to repeat as college football’s national champion. Coach Urban Meyer’s team is packed with proven talent. Running back Ezekiel Elliott is a Heisman contender, and there’s no shortage of options at quarterback. Moreover, the defense is also one of the best in the nation.

After the Oklahoma Sooners finished 8-5 and a 5-4 mark in conference play in 2015, head coach Bob Stoops made some changes. Lincoln Riley is now the new offensive coordinator, but the offense will still count on RB Samaje Perine. The Sooners have lost four starters on the offensive line and they need to improve a secondary that allowed 24 passing plays of 30 yards or more last year.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: The Buckeyes have 15 returning starters entrenched on both sides of the ball – including its quarterback(s), a Heisman-favorite running back, and possibly the best defensive player in the country – talent in all areas and a title under their belts. In 2015 all they need to do is find a way to maintain an edge.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

The Sooners have more talent across the board than anyone else in the Big 12 and the pieces are still there to get to a championship level. However, QB Baker Mayfield needs to efficiently put together the offense and the defense needs to fix a broken secondary that allowed too many big passing plays last year.

OUTLOOK

The Oklahoma State Cowboys had a bad season in 2014, finishing 7-6 for the first season with fewer than eight victories since Mike Gundy’s second season. This will be a rebuilding season for a program that at least has things figured out at quarterback with Mason Rudolph.

Since joining the FBS, the Old Dominion Monarchs have built an all-offense, no-defense reputation for themselves. Even though they will now have to do without their star QB Taylor Heinicke, the Monarchs can count on depth and a light schedule this 2015.

PREDICTION:

QB Rudolph fueled the Cowboys’ late surge and provided much of the momentum that has many believing that this team, like TCU a year ago, could rise from seventh place to the top of the Big 12 in 2015.

This year Old Dominion will run into some problems while trying to find a replacement for Heinicke, and even when the rest of the offense is looking pretty good, any regression is going to be a problem taking into account that the defense might still be a year away from turning athleticism into competence.

OUTLOOK

The Oregon Ducks have enjoyed 24 wins over the last two seasons and a No. 2 finish after 2014’s defeat to Ohio State in the national championship game. Head coach Mark Helfrich has this team poised to win the Pac-12 North once again, but they first need to replace QB Marcus Mariota.

The Oregon State Beavers can count on new head coach Gary Andersen to make things happen in 2015. However, the Beavers have only two defensive starters back from a 5-7 team and a new quarterback, instead of star veteran Sean Mannion.

PREDICTION:

Last year Oregon debuted a number of future stars in the freshman class and it remains to be seen how soon they can reach their potential and what kind of quarterback play eastern Washington transfer Vernon Adams can come up with – if he gets the job.

Coach Andersen has hired a top-notch staff to help him rebuild Oregon State’s program. However, the QB is young, and several key players need to be replaced at defense. Plus, the Beavers will be facing some of the nation’s most potent offenses, which means that this team might not be able to make it to a bowl game in a loaded Pac-12 this year.

OUTLOOK

There are plenty of questions for the Penn State Nittany Lions offense in 2015. Even so, a great defense and soft schedule could mean double-digit wins in James Franklin’s second season and the first full season as Penn State returns to full strength.

The Pittsburgh Panthers have yet another head coach in Pat Narduzzi, former Michigan State’s decorated defensive coordinator. Narduzzi will need to ramp up the defense and hopefully guide the Panthers to new heights. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: The Lions have built depth and experience along a patchwork offensive line. In 2015 the team will still be young up front, with only one senior on the projected two-deep, however the line probably won’t be a big concern. On the opposite side of the ball, Penn State returns with seven starters from what was, statistically, the Big Ten’s best defense last season.

2014 RESULTS DATE

The schedule will be tough after the opening two games with Youngstown State and Akron, including trips to Iowa, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and Duke, and visits from Notre Dame, Louisville, and Miami. If the Panthers win seven games, it could bring positive vibes to Pittsburgh. If they manage to come up with 8-5 for the first time in five years, head coach Narduzzi can count on strong support to rebuild this program.

OUTLOOK

The Purdue Boilermakers improved in their second season under Darrell Hazell, but then they faded. In 2015, sixteen starters are back, which gives Hazell and the team a chance. However, it will be difficult for Purdue to make an impression in the Big Ten West Division.

In 2015, head coach David Bailiff needs to replace many key players from an aggressive defense. However, with QB Driphus Jackson on board, an experienced skill corps, and if Louisiana Tech’s defense regresses, Rice could have a chance at another conference title.

PREDICTION:

Depth and experience are strong for the Boilermakers in 2015, and it remains to be seen what will happen with the following positions: quarterback, turnovers, defensive end, and safety. Coach Hazell is slowly building, so things could truly improve in 2016.

The Owls are certainly a potential West favorite even though they need to replace two big-play receivers, three offensive line starters, four disruptive defensive linemen, and almost their entire secondary. Rice gets its two hardest conference opponents at home (WKU & La. Tech), and if they’re able to improve, they could manage to cruise through November and destroy a fellow mid-major in Hawaii or Albuquerque.

OUTLOOK

Kyle Flood managed to get a lot out of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights first season in the Big Ten. In a tough division, returning to a bowl game should be a reasonable goal for the Knights in 2015.

The San Diego State Aztecs have won more games than ever under head coach Rocky Long, but they still need to improve. Long has built a steady infrastructure and 2015 might just be the year when all this talent turns into wins.

PREDICTION:

This season the Scarlet Knights will face four teams that ranked in the F/+ top 30; three visit Piscataway, which gives the team a chance for either an energizing upset or another disappointing blowout. However, if Rutgers manages to play at the same level against teams below the 75th percentile, they could win enough to go for another bowl.

In 2015, SDSU can count on one of the best running backs in the country, a solid set of defensive tackles, a linebacking corps with tons of athleticism, one of the best mid-major secondaries in the nation, and outstanding options for the starting jobs at quarterback and receiver. Even while there’s some work to be done in the passing game and on the offensive line, it’s very possible that both the offense and defense improve and that the Aztecs end up as the favorite to win the MWC West.

OUTLOOK

The San Jose State Spartans signed a pretty amazing recruiting class in 2015. While this team might need another year or two away from turning potential into multiple wins, it’s going to be interesting to watch if youth helps SJSU finish this season better than in 2014.

Chad Morris is the SMU Mustangs’ new head coach and his first year is packed with challenges. Only 11 starters are back and Morris needs to implement new schemes on both sides of the ball after a 1-11 finish in 2014. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: The Spartans’ improvement in 2015 might just mean more competitive losses, as the team will be faced with a tough schedule. They play only three teams that ranked in the triple digits last year and play two of the four away from San Jose. The home slate includes visits from San Diego State, BYU, and Boise State (combined 2014 record: 27-13).

In 2015 coach Morris needs to adopt new systems and expectations, and basically rebuild a program from the ashes of 1–11. Change may be slow, but Morris and the Mustangs might just surprise fans this season.

OUTLOOK

Head coach Joey Jones has done a fantastic job of turning the South Alabama Jaguars into an upper-tier Sun Belt team, but his team is likely to regress in 2015 unless it gets some help from the transplant of the now-defunct UAB Blazers program in order to change things around.

In 2014 the South Carolina Gamecocks lost 52-28 at home to Texas A&M on the first Thursday night of the year, showing what their defense looked like and destroying their bid for the SEC East. The defense is to blame for much of the Gamecocksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; failure, but now coach Steve Spurrier has hired coordinator Jon Hoke to fix things.

PREDICTION:

Despite being one of the youngest programs in the FBS, the Jaguars seem to have a high floor for a Sun Belt squad. A 5-7 is possible, however a 7-5 might also occur, especially if USA is able to pull an upset of N.C. State on September 26.

South Carolina will be breaking in a new quarterback in 2015. Moreover, the team will also rebuild a defense that lost its morale along with a lot of games in 2014. To patch things up, the Gamecocks have recruited seven defensive linemen, with the most promising being junior college transfer Marquavius Lewis.

OUTLOOK

The South Florida Bulls haven’t had much success in the American Athletic Conference under Willie Taggart. In his third year, the Florida native has eight starters back and new coordinators on both sides of the ball, in what is a decisive season for Taggart.

After a two-year collapse, in 2014 the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles managed to improve. In 2015, this team has offensive experience and plenty of options at positions that were still a problem last fall. However, the defense will be brand new and there’s hope that coach Todd Monken’s third year will improve.

PREDICTION:

Winning six games in 2015 would be an achievement for USF as they haven’t been able to win more than four since 2011.The schedule is looking good and the offense could make it happen for a program that must come into play in the postseason and avoid a fifth straight season without a bowl appearance.

The Golden Eagles’ offense is looking good this season and should gain more ground than the defense loses. If they take advantage of their experience, there is sufficient big-play potential to believe the yardage and point totals could improve tremendously.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Stanford Cardinal completed the season with fewer than 11 victories. This year the defense must be revamped, but the Cardinal seems to be the biggest challenger to Oregon in the North. This program could push for double-digit wins once again if the offense takes a step forward in QB Kevin Hogan’s final year.

2014 wasn’t a good year for the Syracuse Orange winning just three games. A possible recovery will need to overcome a new offensive coordinator as well as very little starting experience back on either side of the ball. Syracuse will have a hard time picking itself up from the floor in the ACC Atlantic Division.

PREDICTION:

Even when the Cardinal is facing significant turnover on defense, they’re still capable of winning nine games. Moreover, with the Ducks having to replace Marcus Mariota, Stanford can very well consider another Pac-12 North title within reach.

In 2015 the Orange will look to pick up the pieces with the help of younger players like receiver Steve Ishmael, linebacker Zaire Franklin, and safety Antwan Cordy. Still, Syracuse will have a hard time producing six wins.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the TCU Horned Frogs just missed out on the college football playoff, and this year they’re determined to go for a national championship in 2015. The program is packed with talent, including one of the nation’s most improved players, quarterback Trevone Boykin. The defense is also strong, but the secondary and linebacking corps both still have some uncertainty.

The Temple Owls come into the 2015 season as a contender in the American Athletic Conference East Division. Coach Matt Rhule’s team has 17 starters back from a program that won just as many games as it lost. There needs to be balance on both sides of the ball for the Owls to make a difference in the AAC. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: TCU needs to win on the road in 2015. The Horned Frogs only left Texas twice last season before the bowl game, and this season it will be five times, including a late-season trip to Norman before the final showdown against the Baylor Bears.

DATE

This might be the year when the Owls get their chance to play a bowl game for the first time in four seasons, and also go for the American Athletic Conference East Division crown. Temple’s offense must work as it did in Rhule’s debut season two years ago, and they must find what it takes to win more close games when facing better opponents.

OUTLOOK

The Tennessee Volunteers enter their third year under coach Butch Jones. This program improved from 5-7 in 2013 to 7-6 last year, and finished the season with a dominant victory against Iowa in the TaxSlayer Bowl. 17 starters are back in 2015, and it looks like the Vols can bring both their win total and final ranking up this year.

Year 2 of head coach Charlie Strong’s tenure with the Texas Longhorns needs to be all about progress. 2014 ended with a horrible 31-7 loss to Arkansas in a bowl game. However, the Longhorns were able to win three of their last four regular season games and finished 5-4 in the Big 12.

PREDICTION:

The Volunteers have enough returning experience and talent to win the SEC East. However, the schedule has them facing Arkansas and Alabama from the West, but with Georgia and South Carolina coming to Knoxville, Tennessee has a chance to improve big time.

The Longhorns can count on their defense to be their strength again in 2015. But special teams need to be better, the offense’s behavior will determine what happens with Texas this season. The schedule has the Longhorns playing away from home against potential top-10 teams Notre Dame, TCU, and Baylor.

OUTLOOK

The Texas A&M Aggies have hired defensive coordinator John Chavis to fix a defense that allowed 36.6 points per game in SEC contests in 2014. In 2015 the Aggies should be able to score points. However, improving in the win column means the defense needs to work hard.

In 2015 the Texas State Bobcats will face a difficult schedule. Coach Dennis Franchione needs to replace most of their defense and is doing so by recruiting at a pretty high level for the Sun Belt. The Bobcats have depth in their offense, experience, and a strong identity, all of which should keep Texas State in almost every game.

PREDICTION:

The Aggies’ defense needs to be rebuilt, and even though Chavis has young talent to work with, it won’t be an easy task. Texas A&M has a high-scoring offense packed with big-play threats to be considered a serious contender in the SEC with a decent defense.

Coach Franchione has done an impressive job of moving the Bobcats up a weight class and improving their win percentages. His recruiting might just help the team improve even more, but it’s quite possible that 2015 will just end up being a water-treading season.

OUTLOOK

Texas Tech’s head coach Kliff Kingsbury has plenty of talent, both as a coach and on his depth chart, but in 2015 he needs to fix the Red Raiders’ sloppy play if this program wants to get back to a bowl game.

In 2015 the Toledo Rockets are packed with playmakers but have many questions on the offensive line. Toledo has won between seven and nine games for five years in a row. They’ve gone 7-1 three times, and solidified themselves in the MAC’s upper tier in both recruiting and performance.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: In Kingsbury’s third year at the helm of Tech he needs to work on an offense that must find some consistency and a defense that just has to be better. With new defensive coordinator David Gibbs the team should find stability, but it remains to be seen what will happen when the Red Raiders hit the field this fall.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

The Rockets have two exciting quarterbacks back this year, almost every skill position player, every defensive lineman, and almost every defensive, too. The defense has three starters back from injury, and the linebacking corps is still solid. However, the offensive line must shine this year as Toledo faces NIU and WMU at home.

OUTLOOK

Coach Larry Blakeney led the Troy Trojans for nearly a quarter-century and after a poor performance in 2014, the team’s former offensive coordinator Neal Brown has replaced the legendary coach. The Trojans destroyed New Mexico State in the first post-announcement contest, and after a few late-October debacles, November was a successful month for the team.

This will be Curtis Johnson’s fourth year with the Tulane Green Wave as the team looks to rebound after a 3-9 record in 2014. Tulane has 13 starters back and a promising core of talent to build around. However, the offense needs some work after what they showed last season. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: It’s been 24 years since Troy had a new coach and in 2015 Brown is faced with changing the team’s poor form of last year. There’s improvement in sight as Brown has signed a solid first recruiting class and has added some depth in positions of need. Anything is possible now that QB Brandon Silvers is no longer a freshman. Bryan Holmes, Brandon Burks, and Teddy Ruben are strong players, and the team has an aggressive new co-defensive coordinator in Vic Koenning.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

SITUATION

2H OU

In 2015 Tulane opens with Duke and Georgia Tech, and should have a defense to at least compete with everyone else on the schedule. The Green Wave gets UCF and Houston at Yulman, and November looks great for a possible strong final kick. With so many returning starters back, this team is likely to improve this fall.

OUTLOOK

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane hired former Baylor offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery to be their new head coach. In 2015 this program can count on an explosive offense, however the defense gave up 39.3 points per game in 2014.

The UCF Knights have a solid win record, a defense that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ranked worse than 55th in Def. S&P+ since 2006, a more stable run game and experienced quarterback, and an offense that should improve some despite turnover at receiver. However, there are only nine starters back.

PREDICTION: PREDICTION: Tulsa may find it difficult to stop teams in 2015, which will place more pressure on the offense to score points. This is certainly a rebuilding season for the Hurricane.The coaching staff as well as the fans need to sit tight.

TOP HANDICAPPING TRENDS TYPE

The Knights will face a schedule that features only three teams that ranked better than 61st last year (all away from home). With trips to both Cincinnati and Temple, it will probably be another year before UCF makes a serious run at another conference title. Still, the Knights should expect to win another seven to nine games.

OUTLOOK

This is Jim Mora’s third year with the UCLA Bruins and in 2015 the head coach can count on a roster that’s capable of winning the Pac-12 title. Still, the Bruins need to figure out what will happen at quarterback with freshman Josh Rosen being expected to emerge as the team’s starter.

The UNLV Rebels decided to hire former high-school coach Tony Sanchez who managed to build Bishop Gorman Catholic into one of high school football’s most recognizable names. Even though this move might prove to work in the future, things will be tough for UNLV this fall.

PREDICTION:

The Bruins are in good shape on defense, and new coordinator Tom Bradley will definitely be an asset. Replacing QB Brett Hundley will be a challenge, but Mora’s staff is good at finding talent as well as anyone in the conference. The schedule has UCLA facing Arizona, Stanford, and USC away from the Rose Bowl this fall.

UNLV has experience at quarterback, potential at receiver, a strong linebacker, and a couple of solid safeties. However, the Rebels also have many unknowns and few members of Sanchez’s staff have ever worked together. Still, the Rebels are thinking long-term, with a few wins here and there as Sanchez takes the lead.

OUTLOOK

This season the USC Trojans can count on 14 starters back from 2014’s 9-4 team. Quarterback Cody Kessler leads an offense that averaged 35.8 points per game in 2014. Moreover, the Trojans have one of the Pac-12’s top offensive lines and receiving corps.

The Utah Utes are coming off their best season as Pac-12 members, but in 2015 the team will have to do without Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Dave Christensen. The Utes will have to work on their defense and keep up their 2014 energy.

PREDICTION:

Expectations are running high for the Trojans in 2015. Second-year coach Steve Sarkisian must replace standout end Leonard Williams on defense. USC also needs to show improvement after giving up over 400 yards per game last year.

In 2015 the Utes will have to deal with cross-division matchups at Oregon and Washington, and also play Michigan, Utah State, and Fresno State out of conference. If coach Kyle Whittingham is able to get this program to 8-5, a year after going 9-4, it’ll show that Utah can truly compete in the Pac-12.

OUTLOOK

The Utah State Aggies have dealt with injuries and bad breaks, but have still won 30 games in three seasons. USU is 19-9 under head coach Matt Wells even with tons of bad luck on their side. In 2015 the Aggies will have to deal with a schedule packed with MWC Mountain opponents, BYU, and two Pac-12 foes. Boise State comes to Logan, and if the Aggies can stay healthy every game is winnable.

In 2014, the UTEP Miners were able to create sound play during their second bowl in nine seasons and might just be able to come up with a very similar run this fall. Head coach Sean Kuglerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job this year is to find a star QB and figure out how to draw enough depth and athleticism to give the Miners sufficient margin. PREDICTION:

PREDICTION: In 2015 the Aggies need to deal with big changes in the coaching area with new offensive coordinator Josh Heupel and new defensive coordinator Kevin Clune. If injuries leave USU alone and QB Chuckie Keeton manages to keep up his play-making ability, Utah State could come out on top of the Mountain West.

In 2015 the Miners will have to deal with a schedule that includes eight opponents that ranked 96th or worse, largely in part to drawing FIU, FAU, and ODU from the East, with only three of the eight coming to El Paso. If UTEP behaves as they did last year, they could be bowling again. However, some of the rivals that were below the Miners boast quite an upside and if they improve, UTEP will need to do the same.

OUTLOOK

In 2015, head coach Larry Coker needs to replace 36 UTSA seniors in his fifth year. It’s quite likely that a strong quarterback will emerge from what might be a six-man race, and between recruiting rankings and 2014’s averages, the Roadrunners seem to have potential at running back, receiver, defensive end, and defensive back.

The Vanderbilt Commodores won just three games overall and went 0-8 in the SEC in what was Derek Mason’s first year at the helm. Things will be tough for Mason and his program in 2015 with an offense that was among the worst in the nation last year.

PREDICTION:

There are big issues at defensive tackle and linebacker, and the secondary is quite young with just one or two wellplaced injuries. Even though there’s potential, UTSA faces a difficult schedule that features only four teams that ranked worse than 90th in F/+ last year.

The Commodores will have a difficult time winning against WKU. Going to Middle Tennessee and Houston might also be troublesome. However, Vanderbilt is still the 14th best team in the 14 team league. If they’re able to beat at least one good conference program, with victories over the average-to-mediocre, improving by two wins is a strong possibility.

OUTLOOK

In 2014 the Virginia Cavaliers showed improvement, winning four of their first six games, but had a hard time in ACC play over the second half of the season. In a wide-open Coastal Division, a postseason berth for the Cavaliers could mean that head coach Mike London’s sixth season could extend even longer.

The Virginia Tech Hokies went to the ACC championship game six times in their first eight seasons in the league. Now, the Hokies are 12-12 in the league. A 6-6 season prevented Virginia Tech from missing the postseason for the first time since 1992.

PREDICTION:

Virginia makes it to UCLA, Miami, and Louisville, and host Notre Dame, Boise State, Georgia Tech, Duke, and Virginia Tech. However, the Cavaliers as well as London need to pull together in 2015 and come up with the six wins needed to get to the postseason.

The Hokies are 22–17 overall and a .500 team in the league since 2012. Coach Frank Beamer has 16 starters back, including a promising group of up-and-coming playmakers on offense and defensive coordinator Bud Foster’s usual solid defense, which gives this team a chance to challenge in the Coastal Division again.

OUTLOOK

2015 is Dave Clawson’s second year with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and he has 13 starters back from last season’s 3-9 team. Still, Wake Forest is one of the youngest teams in the FBS and will have to work with an offense that will possibly feature eight underclassmen as starters, and was not just the worst in the ACC, but also ranked near the bottom of all the teams in the FBS in 2014.

Chris Petersen’s Washington Huskies need to do some work at center and in the front seven, but so many changes mean that it’s going to take time for this program to achieve consistency.

PREDICTION:

The Huskies are built for a reboot in 2015 but for Petersen’s second season, expectations should be low with just nine starters back. Washington needs to rebuild the defensive front seven and break in a new quarterback.

PREDICTION:

The Deacons have to deal with a tough schedule, and they will be a significant underdog in every ACC game. Wake is likely a year away from being truly competitive, however Clawson’s recruiting classes have always been good, and experience should mean improvement on offense.

OUTLOOK

The Washington State Cougars had a 3-9 season in 2014, and they need to recover in the fourth season under Mike Leach. WSU has a new quarterback and a new defensive coordinator, which could turn things around for this team.

Last year the WKU Hilltoppers played like a top-30 team after November 1st, and if they’re able to keep their gains and play fourth quarters, 2015 might be a fantastic year as they could be one of the nation’s best mid-majors.

PREDICTION:

In 2015 QB Luke Falk will replace Connor Halliday on a full-time basis. In addition, a schedule that begins with Portland State, Rutgers, and Wyoming could give the Cougars an extra edge. Experience and depth are still problems, but coaching changes and junior college talent could get this team back to the postseason.

The Hilltoppers’ road slate will be a challenge as well as an opportunity. Their non-conference slate includes trips to Vanderbilt, Indiana, and LSU, and WKU ranked higher than two of those. To win the East, the Hilltoppers will need to go at least 1-1 in trips to Rice and ODU. If WKU manages to be a better road team, 2015 could be when they push through the eight-win barrier and come up with their best FBS results ever.

OUTLOOK

Last year was an outstanding year for the Western Michigan Broncos under head coach P.J. Fleck. 2015 might just be another success for this team, especially when taking into account just how well they did for most of November, the final F/+ ranking (59th), and the amount of players that return.

In 2015 the West Virginia Mountaineers will have a new starting quarterback, an ambiguous offensive line, and an unproven receiving corps. Add to that a defense that ranked 60th or worse in the four major categories, which seems to be the biggest question at hand in the Mountaineers’ ceiling in the Big 12 race.

PREDICTION:

WMU needs to conquer a tough schedule that could prevent them from being the MAC favorite. In September they will face Michigan State, Georgia Southern in the Mid-Major Surge Bowl, defending national champion Ohio State, and will also have to deal with games against NIU and Toledo.

The Big 12 is tough, and it’s going to be even tougher for the Mountaineers to take the conference title with road games at Oklahoma, Baylor, TCU, and Kansas State. However, West Virginia can still win a few games and as long as there aren’t any flaws at home, this should be the best season yet as a Big 12 program.

OUTLOOK

In 2015 the Wisconsin Badgers are the Big Ten West’s safest bet. The Badgers have a new coach in Paul Chryst, are led by talented junior running back Corey Clement, and also have a solid defense. However, there are still concerns at quarterback and receiver.

In 2015 head coach Craig Bohl returns with a Wyoming Cowboys team that has 175-pound receivers, 265-pound offensive linemen, 185-pound defensive ends, and 195-pound linebackers. Bohl and the team will face a schedule packed with tough road games that will keep the over/under low again this year.

PREDICTION:

Inexperience and lack of depth on the offensive line could be a problem for Wisconsin in 2015. Even so, the defense should be solid enough to keep the Badgers in most games with roughly all in the schedule being manageable, avoiding both Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, and Penn State out of the East and being favorites in each of their other six conference games.

The Cowboys have plenty of options at quarterback, however the defense still needs some work, and while the overall defensive speed should be as good or better than it was during 2014, experience and depth are still going to be a problem for Wyoming. Still, the schedule isn’t too bad with a home slate that features North Dakota, Eastern Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado State, and UNLV.
