Repeat? The bloggers, and not just those from Pittsburgh, pick the Steelers to add ring No. 7 in Super Bowl XLIV.
In fan previews posted on ESPN.com, 67 percent of the bloggers think the Steelers will raise the Lombardi Trophy. They were selected more than any other team. The Chargers were given a 3-1 shot at winning the Super Bowl, while bloggers were equally divided about whether the Patriots could win. No other AFC teams were picked to win the title.
Below are the average finishes for each division, with first-place votes in parentheses.
AFC East: Patriots (26), Dolphins (1), Jets, Bills
Tom Brady's back, and that's bad for everyone else in the league. WEAKNESS: Depth at QB. Brady goes down again. -- phyhtheaux
AFC North: Steelers (24), Ravens (2), Bengals, Browns
Steelers defense is the best. Score 20 a game and they win a ton. Big Ben needs to keep the turnovers down and the running backs need to stay healthy. -- squigs24
AFC South: Colts (21), Titans (4), Texans (2), Jaguars
The South is the toughest it has been in a while, but I think Indy can pull out a good year and form a new identity without Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison. -- Whitesoxfanforlife
AFC West: Chargers (26), Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders (1)
The Chargers are one of the most complete teams in football. They have a smash-mouth defense, a skillful running game, and a young, agile and, most importantly smart, quarterback. -- AJ crazy legs slice

MNF: Titans vs. Texans!
- Braden (Huntsville, AL)Can we finally consider Chris Johnson a top 5 back in the NFL?
- Texans (Houston)Braden: I think we can. AP is of course first. But yeah, I think there is definitly a spot there for CJ.
- Donovan (Houston)CJ is only 2nd to AP. Personally i think they are both 1.
- BuzzmasterDoesn't everyone in American have a Snuggie by now? Do they really still need to advertise?
