Last one, and now we really only have two options (unless you want a tie)...

Option 1 - Offense to improve more than defense in total yards par game

Option 2 - Defense to improve more than offense in total yards per game

Here is some data to help you out, the rankings of offense and defense with respect to total yards per game since 2008:

Year Offense Defense
2008: 21 90
2009: 25 76
2010: 113 98
2011: 106 120
2012: 95 116
2013: 119 97
2014: 118 109

On one hand, I believe this is a league where you have to have a good offense to win games. On the other hand, the old saying is defense wins championships...

The obvious answer to me is offense, but after doing some more thinking I am going with defense. With the new offensive style I am expecting the offense to improve quite a bit in terms of total yards per game. Thus if I am expecting the offense to improve quite a bit, if the defense improves more than the offense then we are sitting in good shape and have a chance to surprise some people...
