Your optimism is refreshing. I plan to check out training camp this year since it's held in St. Joe, MO. The only thing that can enable your prediction is if Tyson Jackson has turned into a man during the past year. If he's the push-over (I literally saw him get pushed over on his back last season) he was previously, we are looking at 8-8.

>Carolina has a bad combination...too many rookies and a head coach in the last year of his contract.
>
>Many NFL analysts are pointing to KC as a Cinderella team that could surprise people.
>
>First, they have 2 strong coordinators (Romeo and Fat-man Weis).
>
>Second, they have one of the best running attacks in the AFC. Jamaal Charles has made people forget about Larry Johnson, and KC picked up Thomas Jones (who rushed for 1,400 yards for the Jets last year), to keep Charles from burning out.
>
>KC has upgraded their offensive line, which will be key...Matt Cassel got knocked on his ass too many times last year.
>
>As Mike Cole mentioned, they have a sleeper of a tight end in Tony Moeaki.
>
>The new kid from Tennessee (Berry) will surprise some people at safety
>
>KC has one of the best kicking games in the NFL....Dustin Colquitt routinely punts over 50 yards, is great in the coffin-corner....and Mr. Irrelevant (Ryan Succop) was very accurate outside 45 yards last season.

>If KC's offensive line protects Cassel, KC will win the Super Bowl...I guarantee it.
