    Probably San Antonio. Largest city without one, plus they already have a stadium.

    Honestly LA could have 2 of them. One closer to the Orange County, but San Diego is not too far I guess.

    Portland Metro area is actually bigger unless you count on getting fans and viewers from Austin/San Marcus/RoundRock. It would help if they built a stadium on the cities' northeast side like the ATT Center.

    In terms of Media Market, San Antonio is below

    Orlanda, Sacramento, Portland, Columbus, Salt Lake City,

    No more Texas teams
    No more California teams
    No more Florida teams
    No more New York teams
    No more east coast teams

    Somewhere north and/or west (northwest) of Denver

    The Raiders will move to LA. There will not be any expansion teams unless we go to Europe. LA could still use another team but if it makes you feel better, they could take it from Florida.

    LA.

    Aside from LA, there isn't another market that probably deserves one right now. I think the number of teams is fine at 32 and LA could potentially take the Raiders or Rams.

    After L.A. gets one (or two), either San Antonio, Portland, Sacramento, and/or Oklahoma City.

    Why are the Titans on the wrong side of Tennessee? For that matter, Carolina is to far West as well.

    Edit: I guess there are several that are off.

    Obviously LA and San Antonio are bigger cities with better options, but since that's been covered, I'll throw out something a little different: Portland.

    They get behind their professional sports franchises much the same way Seattle does. Although it's a smaller city, I still think they'd be able to support an NFL team pretty easily, and of course you'd have the framework for an awesome dynamic between the 2 cities in the PNW. I'd probably do something like move Jacksonville to Portland, put them in the NFC West, and have the Rams or Cardinals come over to the AFC South.

    Austin is the largest city without a professional sports team, if I remember correctly.
