Predictions this year:
Baltimore does not take a meaningful step forward, remains near/at the top of a tough division but discernibly behind the very top tier in the AFC. I'll predict 11-5, with more improvement on D than O. Hillhouse will be disappointing on only 6 yards per target in his H-back role.
DC will again win the NFC lEast, but again be in that 3/4 seed slot. Anything can happen, but the most likely outcome is probably 11 wins and a longshot playoff contender slot, same as in B-More.
BAL a bit more likely to win a playoff game or two.
