The Falcons' offense will continue to live and die by the passing game. Ryan has one of the best wide receiver tandems in the league with Roddy White and Julio Jones catching passes. Oh, and the ageless Tony Gonzalez. But Atlanta's offense has added a new dimension. Steven Jackson will now be in the backfield, giving the Falcons a viable running game again. How much does he have left in the tank? We'll find out.

Desmond Trufant, Osi Umenyiora and Robert Alford are among the keys to a Falcons defense that has some question marker. Umenyiora struggled last season and will be tasked with replacing John Abraham. Trufant and Alford will battle it out to start at cornerback. The Falcons badly need one of them to step up.

The 2013 Ravens will look quite a bit different than the team that won the Super Bowl in February. Flacco got a massive contract extension, but Anquan Boldin is gone and Dennis Pitta has been lost for the year. Baltimore will be relying on young receivers to make plays and hoping Torrey Smith can make the next step in his development.

On Defense, the Ravens' changes may be for the better. Gone are Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe, but rookie Arthur Brown and free-agent signee Daryl Smith should be able to pick up the slack. Ed Reed also left Baltimore, but the Ravens drafted his replacement, Matt Elam, in the first round back in April.
