I like Oakland, but I'm not sold on Jacksonville. The Pats beat them like 52-7.
The offenses are certainly promising, but the Raiders defense is dreadful and the Jaguars are still below average offensively and flat out bad defensively. They have a long, long ways to go before they sniff a Super Bowl.
I don't really see how they're any more promising than a team like the Bucs right now. Since the 4 INT game, Jameis has been almost flawless for 3 or 4 games in a row now, and the offense is in the top 10 in yards per pass attempt and yards per rush while being top 5 in terms of yards per rush allowed and top 15 in yards per pass attempt allowed. If they simply cut back on penalties, they're probably sitting at 6-2 or better right now.
In all likelihood, I'd bet that none of these three teams come close to a Super Bowl in the next 3 years, but there's certainly some reason for excitement.
Tampa Bay is in the NFC.
Tampa Bay is in the NFC.
So is New England.
Isn't the point that one of those two teams would be going to the Super Bowl though? I just don't see it; neither team is even close to being an AFC contender as things currently stand. They'll need to really nail the upcoming drafts/free agency periods if they want to improve that much in 2 or 3 years.
Brady isn't going to be there forever.
Forgot about Cincy, they might be the next top team.
Raiders are 1st in 2016 cap space, Jacksonville 4th. Jacksonville's first round pick is out with an injury this year.
Two best young offenses in the league.
Both have second year QB's making big leaps, young high end WR's, quality RB's.
Fixed itThe Raiders could win the afc west this year, I really like what the Jags did in the draft.

Oh, look, more people hyping the Raiders and Jags...
