TEAMS TO MAKE THE PLAYOFF THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT LAST YEAR

49ers

• 

TEXANS




49ERS

The 49ers play in  I think the weakest division in the nfl making it open season for any team in that division to make a run at the playoffs. The 9ers have a solid defense lead by Patrick Willis who held all there opponents rushing attack to 97 yards a game good for 6th best in the league. The offense lead by Alex Simth, Frank Gore, And Vernon Davis bring a very balanced a attack in the 2010 season. The 49ers went 5-1 against NFC West teams last year only losing to the seahwaks in week 13 20-17 which was a very winnable game. The only problem I think the 49ers might have is in the secondary they ranked 21st in the league. The 49ers finished 8-8 good for second in the NFC west this I predict 10-6 good for winning the division and a playoff berth

KEYS TO 49ERS

1. FRANK GORE STAYING HEALTHY 
2. A CONSISTENT ALEX SMITH 
3. FIND A 2ND AND 3RD RECEIVER OPTION AFTER VERNON DAVIS
4. GOOD SECONDARY  

TEXANS


The Texans  didn't make the playoff's but in my eye did not a have a bad season at all. We learned a lot about Texans in 2009. Matt Schaub is one of the best QB's the league has to offer and he proved that last year. We also learned that Andre Johnson  can play out there with the best of them. This duo both made the pro bowl and was the NFL's number one passing attack in the league. In the 2010 draft  the Texans had a total 9 draft picks and there second round 56th overall is who really caught my eye. RB Ben Tate  an explosive runner out of auburn that is only going to make the Texans running game better along side Steve Slaton. They finished the season 9-7 in 2009 I got them finishing the season 10-6 in 2010
