New England - weak division, best red-zone differential. At the very least, you should be able to hedge bets come playoff time and make some money.

... assuming Kaepernick continues to thrive, SF & SEA should make the playoffs. NFC East & South are wide open, so there is a risk picking any teams in those division. In the AFC, DEN & NE are shoe-ins.

Cincinnati - Baltimore & Pittsburgh moving in the wrong direction; have had solid drafts over the last couple years. Dalton might not be flashy, but he is pretty dependable this early in his career.
Detroit - Aside from giving up big plays, this team is one of the best defensive units in the red-zone; Stafford had an off-year and Reggie Bush adds another dimension to the offense. Underachieved in 2012, but their Pythagorean numbers suggested they should have been a 6-7 win team. Chicago has a rookie head coach and lost their leader on defense (plus, there is no way that defense scores that many TDs in 2013); in Minnesota, the odds are stacked against Adrian Peterson repeating his performance and they lost Percy Harvin. Additionally, Detroit finished 4th in their division, so they should have a favourable schedule.
Good luck on your picks
