First of all, surely you know that the Steelers will NEVER be moved out of the AFC North right?
If realignment were to be done again, I could see the Ravens going to the AFC East. NOT the NFC East. Colts to the AFC North and Dolphins moved into the AFC South. Every other team would stay put.
The idea is to have all East Division teams in the Northeast, North Division teams in the Midwest, South Division teams in the South, and almost all West Division teams in the West, with the AFC West requiring a Central time team, which should be Houston because they are the westernmost such team.
You have down Texans twice on Chargers schedule. I think you meant Falcons for one of them.
Yes, that is incorrect from the ESPN site.
That’s why we work for FOX.
ESPN’s website has more holes in it’s than the New York Jets defense.
