Just for fun I thought we would start some polls to see who the favorites are to win the league. We'll start going division by division and the winners of each poll will face off. Since we are breaking this down by division we can vote for ourselves, if we want and still get some good results.

Re: Preseason Polls - Central Division
I decided to be a homer here and vote for myself 
I think that the Central division could be the tightest division out of them with no clear cut roster that's better than the rest, IMO.
Bring The Pain has a couple of GREAT RBs, but I'd be worried about Charles this season coming off that injury. Not too sure who's gonna step up out of the WRs though.
Executioners has Stafford and when you've got a QB throwing to the best WR in the league with the potential to throw for 5000/50, he's gonna put up major numbers. No bell cow RB ATM, lots of unproven rookies, but some major upside with Smith, Decker, and Cook this season.
Amish has some great QBs. If Jackson and Bradshaw can play a whole season without injuries, they'll be solid RBs. Graham is a beast and will probably repeat his huge season. Some great upside WRs with Jefferey, Brown, and a potential bounce back year for TBMW.
Reason for voting for myself
1) Cutler could push for at least a top 10 finish this season with the additions of Marshall and Jefferey to the WR squad and no longer having Martz to hang him out to dry. Dalton is a solid QB2 in the event that Cutler goes down and I need someone to fill in for a few weeks with some new toys to throw to.
2) I've got (I hope) a sure fire bell cow RB in Richardson and if Best can somehow come back from injury, he was a PPR machine before he went down. DeAngelo is a solid flex / bye week plugin. If Stewart gets hurt, he should see some great numbers.
3) My WRs are oozing with upside. AJ Green, nuff said. Little, Cobb, and Floyd are all young and should see significant playing time. Cobb should see a major boost in his numbers this year with Driver most likely not coming back. Boldin will be a steady Flex play week in and week out... And if Moss decides that he wants to show up and play, he could be a huge boost. Lots of potential and depth with the WRs. LaFell
Not a fan of my TEs though... I'm hoping that Lewis somehow returns to 2010 numbers when Henne beats Gabbert for the starting QB job, and that Rudolph takes on a bigger role with the MIN passing game. The dude's got Gronk like measure-ables.

Re: Preseason Polls - Central Division
I agree about this division, I wouldn't be surprised if any of the 4 teams won the division. Every team as some bright spots that could carry the team but a question mark at a position entering the season.

Re: Preseason Polls - Central Division
An interesting division, especially since I'm in it! Last season I had a great run but fell apart the last few weeks due to injuries but still had enough to win the division.
Amish - Solid QBs, especially if Bradford can be even 75% of what he was his rookie year to provide solid backup to Romo. WRs are deep with upside anchored by Jennings, but very young. If Garcon can kick it into gear I'll be set with just needing 1 of the young guns to step up and I got a lot to choose from. TEs...Jimmy Graham...nuff said. Very young and unproven behind him though. RBs are a question mark. On the surface there are 3 starters in Bradshaw, Brown and Jackson. All will share time though...then again what RB doesn't share time in the NFL these days. Very few. So with WR depth I really just need 1 of these guys to pan out this year, if 2 do it's a bonus.
Executioners - QB is just sick with Big Ben and Stafford. Could be a trade halfway thru the season with Ben I'd say. RB I think is the big weak spot here. No clear cut starter and a lot of backups. Gotta hope Dwill gets hurt and Stewart can take over. WR has a lot of upside with Decker and Smith for sure. Not very deep. Solid at TE, especially if Cook can continue to shine.
Bring the Pain - Eli has been looking great and if Ponder can continue to move forward a solid backup. RB, wow if Charles returns to form what a 1-2 bunch. Got some upside WRs but no real standout yet. Can't go wrong with Witten at TE.
Wabbits - Very solid at QB with a top 10 Cutler and Dalton was a top 14 guy last year (yet nobody wanted him!) RBs will be rock solid if Trent has the season every expects and Best comes back from injury. Lots of solid upside in the WR department no doubt. TEs could be a problem though.
I think it's between the Wabbits and Amish and I'll take the homer vote.
