NFC East: Dallas or Phi- I don't see the Commanders as someone said, but at least they made a ballsy prediction.

NFC South: The only team to win this division and it be even remotely a surprise is Carolina. The rest of the division is basically three of the same teams.

NFC West- SF or LA and it wouldn't be a huge shock to see Sea win it.

NFC North- Det and GB are neck and neck and it wouldn't be a total jaw hitting the floor moment if Chi or even Min took it.

AFC South- The NFC South but better. Any one of Hou, Indy or Jax could win it and it wouldn't be a total shock. I guess Ten would qualify but the delta between the Tits winning the division and the Chiefs losing theirs still makes it much less surprising if Ten pulled it off.

AFC East- Buff, Mia, NYJ all with legit division title aspirations.

AFC North- Bal should be the slight favorite but all 4 teams are pretty damned close.

AFC West- Only division in football with a lock it in the day the new league year starts division winner. Again, the only real and true shocker would be if Den/LA/LV win this division....

SPOILER ALERT:






They won't
I pretty much agree with this. A few qualifiers though.

In the NFC West I think LA will give San Francisco a run for their money, but if Seattle is in the mix, that would be a real surprise.

In the NFC North I think it would be a real surprise if Chicago is in the mix. Both Chicago and Minnesota will have rookie QBs, but Minnesota has a much better supporting cast.

For the AFC south, I believe Houston was for real last year and has done a great job improving this year. So despite the tougher schedule, I think it will be a surprise if anybody other than Houston wins.

If anybody other than the Chiefs wins the AFC west it would be more than a surprise. I think we would win even if the unimaginable happened and Mahomes was injured as we actually have a potentially really good back up QB in Wentz.

Fair enough. But I’ll “argue” (not really because I don’t care about either team lol) that the Bears have a better defense and although the Vikings have the best individual skill position player, the Bears wr depth is no joke. Running back is probably a push although I think a healthy Jones is the best of the bunch. Hockenson is better than Kmet but that delta may not be as wide with an actual QB throwing for the Bears.

If everything goes right...Jets, Titans, Commanders, Vikings. Im just not so sure I see a major surprise in any other division. NFC North and AFC North are going to be really fun races.

Vikings.

They're not a bad team. In fact... sheesh... they look really ****ing good, actually. That offense? If the interior OL can stay healthy unlike previous years, you could get good to great production out of a lot of mediocre QBs provided they don't shit the bed. Darnold can absolutely fit that bill, and I actually think O'Connell is going to roll with him the entire season. And on defense they've finally shed themselves of the old overpaid guys who never stay healthy. Flores can definitely put them in position to succeed.

The North is competitive, yes, but the Vikings will be very good and will challenge for first place. Also, Chicago has the pieces and the talent, but I still think Eberflus and his coaching staff is one of the worst in the league. Watch out if/when they fire him and if they bring in somebody competent, but until then, I don't see Chicago being consistent enough. They'll be improved, but eventually miss the playoffs before the final week of the season.

Kind of rooting for Levis to have a good season. Guy throws a really nice deep ball. And now with both DHop and Ridley maybe he can open up that offense.

Surprise Division winner?
K C Chiefs.

I mean think about it, every time during this time of the year, the Chargers are going to be the winner of the AFC West. Then they break from camp and always seem to make a left turn off Hwy 101 and find themselves driving off a cliff into the ocean.

The only surprising one I'd go with is probably the Falcons, weak division. The Bears I guess if the Lions take a step back and the Packers as well.

National media has ATL winning the division.




Surprising would be CAR winning the NFC-S.

That's not surprising, so I guess I got nothing. If a team like the Cardinals wins their division then that would truly be a surprise but I'm not going to predict it.

I got TB winning the NFC-S, but as they've won it 3 years in a row now, that's not much of a surprising prediction.

Yeah, ARI winning the west would be a shocker. But seen enough of them since Kyler was drafted to know better, especially as both LAR and SF are still playing really good to great football, and have much better coaching.
