Commentary: The Tennessee Titans enter the 2024 season with a radically different look and feel, signaling the dawn of a new era. After a disappointing 6-11 finish last season, the team underwent a significant transformation, starting with the hiring of Brian Callahan as head coach. The departure of long-time leader Mike Vrabel marks the end of an era defined by tough, physical football centered around the power running game, led by the now-departed Derrick Henry.

The Titans’ offense, once synonymous with Henry’s bruising style, will now have a more diversified attack with the additions of Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, and Tony Pollard. Ridley and Boyd bring experience and reliability to a receiving corps that has been inconsistent in recent years, while Pollard offers a dynamic, dual-threat option in the backfield. These changes indicate a shift toward a more pass-heavy offense, though the team’s success will largely hinge on quarterback Will Levis. Levis has shown flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency during his rookie season.

Defensively, the Titans were among the league’s worst in 2023, particularly against the pass, ranking 30th in pass EPA allowed. The acquisitions of L’Jarius Sneed and Chidobe Awuzie are clear attempts to shore up a beleaguered secondary. The Titans’ season will likely be defined by how quickly the team can adapt to its new identity and whether they can avoid the inconsistencies that plagued them in 2023.

Commentary: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into the 2024 season with significant changes, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. The loss of key defenders like Shaq Barrett, Devin White, and Carlton Davis leaves a void that will be hard to fill, especially for a unit that was already shaky last year. Despite ranking 5th in rush defense EPA, their pass defense lagged behind at 22nd, and the departure of key players could exacerbate these issues.

Offensively, the Buccaneers performed admirably, finishing 12th in EPA/play and 8th in pass EPA, largely due to their aerial attack. Baker Mayfield, who received payday, will be under the spotlight this season. With financial security in hand, the question arises whether his motivation will remain high or if complacency could set in. The Bucs were highly efficient against the spread last year, particularly on the road (8-1 ATS).

Given their defensive losses and potential for regression, the road ahead looks challenging, and the Bucs will need to overcome hurdles to avoid slipping back into mediocrity.

Commentary: The Seattle Seahawks are entering a new era with the departure of long-time head coach Pete Carroll and the introduction of Mike Macdonald, who steps into his first season at the helm and with big shoes to fill.

Last season, the Seahawks boasted an impressive offense, finishing 10th in both overall EPA/play and passing EPA, with a solid rushing attack ranking 14th. However, the defense was a glaring weakness, ranking near the bottom in nearly every defensive metric. The unit’s performance was a significant factor in their 9-8 record, barely squeezing into the playoff picture. The additions of Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker are intended to bolster the linebacker corps.

Despite their strong offensive showing, the Seahawks may have overperformed last season, and with the transition to a new coaching regime, there’s potential for regression.

Commentary: The San Francisco 49ers have firmly established themselves as regular-season powerhouses under Kyle Shanahan, consistently dominating the competition, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. With their offense ranking 1st in EPA/play, rush, and pass EPA, the 49ers have an explosive and multifaceted attack, largely fueled by the brilliance of Christian McCaffrey, who remains a versatile and dynamic weapon. The ongoing contract dispute with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk adds another layer of uncertainty, potentially disrupting the cohesion of their high-powered offense.

Ultimately, while the 49ers have all the tools to dominate the regular season once again, their postseason fate will hinge on the defense’s ability to adapt to new leadership on the defensive side of the ball and how well the offense can navigate potential disruptions. The question remains: can they finally translate regular-season dominance into Super Bowl glory?

Commentary: The Steelers continue to epitomize the “next man up” mentality under the steady leadership of Mike Tomlin, who has a remarkable knack for getting the most out of his roster. Despite the departure of some key players, the defense remains the backbone of this team, ranking impressively across multiple categories last season. The addition of Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback marks a upgrade, but questions remain about whether the offensive line and skill positions can provide enough support for him to thrive. Justin Fields offers an intriguing backup option, potentially adding a dynamic element to the offense.

The loss of Diontae Johnson creates a void at wide receiver. The Steelers’ ability to maintain a strong divisional record (5-1 ATS in 2023) bodes well for their playoff aspirations, but they will need their offense to step up in high-stakes games, especially against tough competition late in the season. One interesting note is their 1H (5-12 1H ATS) vs. full game (10-7 ATS) splits in 2023. They started the games off slow, only to come back for the full game cover.

Commentary: After a season where their defense lagged significantly, the Eagles made substantial changes to revamp their defensive unit. With Vic Fangio stepping in as the defensive coordinator and key additions like Bryce Huff, Devin White and CJ Gardner-Johnson, the Eagles are aiming to shore up their defensive vulnerabilities. Saquon Barkley is a major boost to the offense, bringing both power and versatility. Despite losing some veteran players like Jason Kelce and James Bradberry, the Eagles’ relatively favorable schedule should provide ample opportunity to capitalize on their enhanced defensive capabilities and maintain their playoff potential. If the revamped defense can hold up, the Eagles are well-positioned to be a Super Bowl contender this season.

Commentary: With Aaron Rodgers returning, the Jets are hoping for a resurgence despite his age and recovery from a torn Achilles. Rodgers, now 41, has a solid roster of offensive weapons, including new additions like Mike Williams and Tyrod Taylor for depth. The offensive line, bolstered by Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses, should provide better protection. On defense, the Jets remain elite, with a top-ranked unit last year and new edge rusher Hasson Reddick adding further depth. It is crucial for the Jets to leverage their defensive strength and get the offense back on track. If Rodgers is even a shell of his former self, the ceiling is high for this Jets team.

Fading them in the 1H when they were underdogs was a strong angle, as they went 2-12 1H ATS in this spot.

Commentary: The outlook for the Giants is troubling. The loss of Saquon Barkley and Darren Waller leaves significant gaps in their offensive playmaking. While the addition of Malik Nabers provides a potential bright spot, and the defensive line has some promise with Brian Burns and Jordan Phillips, we still foresee challenges ahead. Daniel Jones’ regression last year and ongoing recovery from a torn ACL further dampen optimism. Without substantial improvements, the Giants are likely to struggle in a competitive NFC East.

Commentary: The Saints have made significant upgrades to their defense with the additions of Chase Young and Willie Gay, which should make them even more formidable. However, the team faces challenges with Derek Carr leading the offense and a relatively underwhelming offensive line. While the defense will likely keep them competitive at times, the limitations on offense could prevent them from reaching any meaningful success.
