As long as the Colts have a healthy Andrew Luck, they're far ahead of the Chiefs, IMO.

I agree. They fired Arians and hired Haley, only to continue that decline. They have an aging roster and are likely facing the loss of Mike Wallace (not that he did much this past year).
That said, they always seem to hang around until the very end, despite all of their flaws.

The Broncos were really hurt by the loss of McGahee. Their defense, outside of Champ Bailey, is youngish. They have offensive weapons. If they can somehow obtain a solid running back or two, it's hard to count them out with Manning at the helm.
I think the Dolphins are ascending. How far they ascend is a big question mark because their roster is almost as bad as the Chiefs. But they do have the QB in place, so they just need to build around him. Their defense is generally solid each week.

It's "weak" but there are teams on the rise, like the Colts and Dolphins. The Texans won't go anywhere next year, either.
