Oh, and the Colts are in the South, but other than that, everything's pretty good geographically.
LA is looking at seven franchises. In order of likeliness, they are the Jaguars, Bills, Vikings, Chargers, Raiders, Rams and 49ers. Los Angeles would preferably play in the West, so they could have a rivalry with the Raiders/Chargers or 49ers/Rams (Seattle and Phoenix are rivals in other sports as well, so that fits too).
LA could conceivably play in the South, but that's not too likely cause it's not really in what we define as the South (east of Texas). I know they definitely won't want to put it in the North or East, especially as a market that has a lot of potential for good rivalries with nearby squads.
Here's what I think will happen for each possible movement:
1. Jaguars to LA: Just keep them in the AFC South. The only AFC West team that could really be bumped is the Broncos. No one is getting rid of the Chiefs/Raiders rivalry. The Broncos don't really fit in any other division, especially as the North is dead set. Another option would be for a team to switch conferences. Panthers to AFC South, Cardinals to NFC South, LA to NFC West.
2. Bills. I have no clue how they'd fix this one. An LA team playing against two Northeastern teams would be ridiculous. The most logical option would involve moving the Ravens. But that would ruin the Ravens/Browns as well as the Ravens/Steelers (that part would get replaced by the Patriots, though). After that, the Broncos could be sent North and LA could be in the West. Or the Jaguars could be sent East and LA could be South (see above).
3. Vikings. Just pu...
