TOLEDO TORMENTA
strength	QB. Aaron Rodgers has developed into perhaps the leagues top 2 or 3 qb's. They'll now see what they have in Kevin Kolb and they already have decent depth with Eli Manning and Matt Hasselbeck.
weakness	FLEX. The trade for Wes Welker was perhaps the pivotal key in Tormenta's Championship last season along with the emergence of wr Steven Smith. Now with Welker possibly out for a significant time, Smith will need to stay consistent as a #2 WR and they'll need a WR or RB to step-up in the Flex spot.
summary	Tormenta's Championship season last year was no fluke as they were legitimate contenders from Week 1 through Week 17. Repeating will not be easy but they have an explosive lineup. It will be interesting to see if they can survive the loss of Welker (if he is even out). They may start off a bit slower this year but come postseason Tormenta should be in strong running for another title.
2010 prediction	10-4

LAS VEGAS 69ERS
strength	STARTING LINEUP. A probable starting lineup of Jay Cutler, Ray Rice, Andre Johnson, Miles Austin, DeSean Jackson, Antonio Gates, Stephen Gostkowski and Saints would be the best in league. If this starting lineups stays injury-free the 69ers should, at the very least, duplicate last years franchise best season (in scoring and record).
weakness	QB. The loss of Drew Brees and the retirement of Kurt Warner leaves the 69ers with some depth issues. Cutler should be fine (perhaps even great?) as a starter but they may be in trouble if he were to get hurt.
summary	Never before has a team traded away the reigning Player of the Year (Brees). The 69ers are certainly taking risks, but lets look closely at what they added. Cutler was the 2008 Player of the Year and Austin was 2009's Free of the Year plus they gained a #4 pick. The consistency of Brees still might not equal what they potentially are getting in return. This is a team that enters the year on a record 11 straight games, so they could be unstoppable if they've actually improved. And if they haven't, it's hard to imagine they could drop out of contention because of one player.
2010 prediction	9-5

TUCSON A II P
strength	WR. It remain to be seen if Larry Fitzgerald will remain dominant with the retirement of Warner, but he should still be good enough, and Greg Jennings, Vincent Jackson, Chad Ochocinco, Steve Breaston and Eddie Royal give this team a variety of startable options at the position.
weakness	RB. The Cowboys trio is a talented bunch but as long as they are all healthy there value will be reduced. The same goes for Jonathan Stewart who thrived at the end of last year but only because of injuries to DeAngelo Williams.
summary	A II P has some questions at qb (with Roethlisberger out and Favre in limbo) but they have the talent to remain in division and championship contention especially if they find decent production from the rb position.
2010 prediction	8-6

D.C. H
strength	WR. H may have the strongest WR depth in the entrie league. Calvin Johnson is officially ready to move in position among the leagues top three WR's, Steve Smith is already elite, Percy Harvin has unmeasured potential entering his sophmore season, Mike Sims-Walker may be the best WR you never heard of, and Braylon Edwards and Dwayne Bowe should bounce back from disappointing season.
weakness	RB. It's tough to call this position a flaw since Steven Jackson and Matt Forte are startable on most teams and Ronnie Brown is a fine backup/flex player. The flaw may be that all of those players dealt with injuries last year and only Jackson played up to his potential.
summary	So how can a team coming off a 3-11 season be considered a championship contender with the same roster? Well, I believe the pieces have shifted into H's favor after what was a rather unlucky season in 2009. The new D.C. setting is only a starting point for what could possibly be a fresh look for this franchise. Last year they allowed a league record of points against and they had some talented players stuck in unfortunate situations. Situations that should greatly improve this year, plus they posses the strongest core of QB's the franchise has ever had. Last year we boldly predicated Tormenta a top-four, Prestige title contending team and we firmly believe the same about H in 2010.
2010 prediction	8-6

MACUNGIE O'S
strength	WR. The O's lead the entire league in WR scoring last year. They have arguably the best duo with Reggie Wayne and Brandon Marshall and Mike Wallace and Jeremey Maclin give them excellent 3rd options.
weakness	TE. Since trading away Dallas Clark this position has been a major hole for the O's. Last year they only managed 88 points all season from the TE position, which ranked last in league (26 points below the 9th rated team).
summary	Is the window closing on the O's dominance. It's tough to say especially considering they were a top four team once again last year and they still have explosive talent at nearly every position. With the recent success of the 69ers and Tormenta as well as Lightning in 2008, the O's may actually go under the radar in 2010 but with Manning, Chris Johnson, Marshall and Wayne it is tough not to consider this a division and championship caliber team.
2010 prediction	7-7

LOS ANGELES LAKE SHOW
strength	RB. Since 2006 Lake Show has successfully drafted a fine group of RB's in the First Round. While Joseph Addai and Thomas Jones are getting older they continue to produce. Rashard Mendenhall and Knowshon Moreno are the teams top options at RB and they could be poised for big seasons.
weakness	WR. Lake Show is in desperate needing of top WR. Last years #1 pick Michael Crabtree showed some flashes in his limited playing time last year. He needs to become a consistent #1 for this team and they need one of their developing WR's to be consistent as #2 starters (Davone Bess, Devin Thomas or Mario Manningham).
summary	It is an even year so going by trends the Lake Show should not reach the Prestige Playoffs. However with the offseason changes made in the NFL, plus Tom Brady now having played a year since the injured knee, Lake Show could be a surprise team that returns to some of the magic they displayed in that record-breaking 2007 season. They have a bunch of young talent, and if Crabtree can make strides toward becoming an elite WR this could be a difficult team to beat in 2010.

MYRTLE BEACH 328'S
strength	DRAFT. With four picks among the top 13 (including #1 overall), this will be the most important draft under current ownership. 328's have some explosive talent but they need to build in depth and youth. If they make the right picks here this team could become dominant over the next few years.
weakness	WR. Terrell Owens is currently without a team and without Miles Austin, 328's are in need of finding a WR to compliment the great Randy Moss. Perhaps Robert Meachem or Kenny Britt will develop in every week starters, but unless that happens 328's will find it trouble to stay consistent on a weekly basis.
summary	328's added 2009 Player of the Year Drew Brees as well as a bunch of draft picks, but they also lost Jay Cutler and Miles Austin, the Team MVPs of the last two years. The combination of Brees and Moss makes them explosive on any week but they need'll need to find more consitency if they want to reach the Prestige Playoffs.
2010 prediction	6-8

OUTER BANKS LIGHTNING
strength	QB. Philip Rivers has become one of the leagues elite QB's, Matt Ryan appears on the verge of becoming elite and though still devolping Josh Freeman made some nice progress in his rookie season. Jarmarcus Russell has clearly been a bust but he is the teams 4th or 5th (if you count Rivers handcuff Billy Volek) QB.
weakness	FLEX. With Anquan Boldin, Marques Colston and Maurice Jones Drew they have a strong threesome but there are a few questions about the Flex position (where they ranked 9th overall last year). Santonio Holmes will be out for four games and Kevin Smith is coming off a major injury. Can Ricky Williams have another solid year or can they look towards Beanie Wells, Donnie Avery or Pierre Garcon? Obviously they have talent capable of producing in the Flex spot but the question is whether or not they can find steady production and a player they can rely on every week.
summary	This is actually one of the most well-rounded teams in the league. Lightning does not have any major strengths but they also do not have any glaring weaknesses. This is simply a well balanced team capable of explosive scoring. They could very well be a threat to return to the Prestige Championship but they need to find more consistency from the WR and Flex positions.
2010 prediction	6-8

FLIPPIN UNITED
strength	RB. This team has such depth at the RB position that Ladainian Tomlinson may actually be toward the bottom of the depth chart. DeAngelo Williams had some injuries last year but he is still a top RB and Jamaal Charles had a breakout season in 2009. Lesean Mccoy appears ready to become an every week starter plus they still have Michael Turner, Darren Sproles, Donald Brown and Darren Mcfadden.
weakness	WR. United finally found a legitimate #1 WR in Sidney Rice. Now they need a consistent #2. Roy Williams, Lee Evans and Chris Chambers simply are not consistent enough to rely on. Perhaps Johnny Knox, Anthony Gonzalez or Austin Collie could emerge this season or maybe Kevin Walter and Nate Burleson can be consistent options. Otherwise it will be another frustrating year for a team that has finished last in WR the past two seasons.
summary	It will be interesting to see if Donovan McNabb can continue his reliable production on a new team. McNabb will really be the key to the season for United unless Carson Palmer can return to the form of past years and become an every week starter. United appreas to be improving at the WR position and they have plenty of talent at RB. They have steady QB's but what they've lacked the past two years is explosive scoring at the QB position, at least in comparison to the rest of the league.
2010 prediction	5-9

DENVER TOMCATS
strength	WR. While not a major strength, this is portably the teams strongest position. The Tomcats may not have an elite WR but they have alot of underrated talent at the position and it may explain why they finished 6th in overall WR scoring last year. Hines Ward seems to be ageless and 2009 Rookie of the Year Hakeem Nicks looks to be a future superstar. Jerrico Cotchery, Jason Avant Avant and Malcolm Floyd are not every week starters but they provide some nice depth and youth talent.
weakness	QB. The Tomcats are the only team in the league without a reliable every week starter that can average at least 30 points per game. Matt Cassel should improve this year but as of now he is a solid backup - not a QB you want as your legitimate #1.
summary	The Tomcats made improvements from their disastrous 2008 but they improve even more and return to the Prestige Playoffs this year? They have some pieces and it will be another key draft year for them to build, but the issue for them will remains at the QB position. They managed to go 6-8 last year despite having at least 100 points less then the 9th ranked team in QB scoring. That alone proves they have a decent team. If Cassel can improve just a little bit this year they have a strong chance at the playoffs.
