No reverse jinx here. Vikings are putting together a very talented team, the Bears are going to be in a rebuild, the Lions just lost Suh and Fairley and their offense is inconsistent. If anyone in the North is going to knock off the Packers it's going to be Mike Zimmer. If AP had continued to sit out then I'd have a different take on this, but with him back for the Vikings they have all the pieces together to make something happen. It just mostly relies on Bridgewater continuing to progress in his second season which looks very likely.

This was not a professional analysis I'm just some schlub with a partly-informed opinion.

AFC East:
Patriots don't make the playoffs.
Dolphins will win the division and the Bills will finished tied with the Pats for second.

AFC North:
It wouldn't surprise me to see Cincy, Pitt, or Baltimore win it. I think Cincy does.
Poor Browns probably won't win a divisional game.

AFC South:
Colts will run away with this division.
I can't take the Texans serious with that stable of QBs so I don't even seeing Watt dragging them to the playoffs.

AFC West:
The Chiefs and Chargers will challenge Denver for the division crown but fall short.
Raiders improve and finish 3-3 in the division.

NFC East:
Cowboys wrap this division up by week 15.
Eagles and Giants both finish 8-8

NFC North:
Packers easily win this division.
Vikings grab a wild card spot while the Lions take a step back.

NFC South:
Bucs win the south.
gently caress the rest of the NFC South.

NFC West:
Seahawks win the division. Rams finish second.
49ers are the disaster we all expect them to be.

AFCCG: Colts over Broncos
NFCCG: Packers over Seahawks
Super Bowl: Packers over Colts

At my most pessimistic, I believe this as well. Our schedule is mad hard all the way through. If someone like Houston or Charles or Kelce go down, we could hit that pretty quickly. That said, if we go 6-10 because we beat the Broncos, Raiders, Ravens and Steelers, then I will never shut up about it so if we're going to suck, let's just do that.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
AFC East

1. New England 11-5
2. Miami 8-8
3. Buffalo 7-9
4. New York 7-9

Until further notice, aka when it finally doesn't happen, the Patriots are still kings of the AFC East. Assuming Tom Brady's suspension holds up, I think they go 2-2 in those first four games. The rest of the division will play a little better than in previous years, but New York and Buffalo still don't have quarterbacks. They'd finish with worse records but I'm giving them the benefit of playing against the AFC South and thus finishing about two games better than normal. Miami is a bit of an enigma.


AFC North

1. Pittsburgh 10-6
2. Baltimore 9-7*
3. Cleveland 6-10
4. Cincinnati 6-10

Last year the AFC North sent three teams to the playoffs. This year, they'll only send two because they aren't playing the two bottom feeding divisions in the league. Pittsburgh's offense is going to be one of the best in the league this year, and I'll give them the edge over the Ravens because Ben is better than Flacco. Baltimore will definitely be in contention right up to the end of the season, but the Steelers will win out. This is gonna be the year that the Bengals finally crater and fire Marvin Lewis, and Cleveland will be ecstatic with a 6-10 finish. I really like the Browns' defense.


AFC South

1. Indianapolis 13-3
2. Tennessee 7-9
3. Houston 5-11
4. Jacksonville 4-12

This division is putrid. The Colts should have it locked up by Halloween and can put it on cruise control toward the #1 seed in the AFC. I like Tennessee to take a step forward this year with Mariota, and Houston to fall back because they are literally incapable of getting anyone that knows how to play quarterback. No more Andre Johnson and Foster is another year older. I don't care how good Watt is. Jacksonville... Sigh.


AFC West

1. San Diego 11-5
2. Denver 10-6*
3. Kansas City 6-10
4. Oakland 5-11

Homerish, but also based in what I saw this offseason. The Chargers improved on the OL, the backfield, the WR position, special teams, and are getting a whole bunch of good players back from injury. Coupled with the fact that Denver lost a bunch in free agency, and their offensive line is in shambles with Clady going down, not to mention Peyton being another year older, and I think the Chargers will push through in what's probably their last year in San Diego. My brain refuses to acknowledge the Chiefs as good. The defense will still be great, but that offense, eesh. Oakland will improve and will probably win the division in the next two years. Not yet though.


NFC East

1. Dallas 12-4
2. New York 9-7
3. Philadelphia 8-8
4. Washington 4-12

Dallas continues to boast the top offensive line in the NFL, and I think that will mask the deficiencies at the running back position from last season. I also think that a full year of digesting the new system will be good for Eli Manning as well as OBJ. Philadelphia's offseason is kind of underwhelming, but I don't buy into people just thinking that they're going to crater. And Washington... eesh. RG3 is not good, and I don't see much more to get excited about.


NFC North

1. Green Bay 12-4
2. Minnesota 9-7*
3. Detroit 9-7
4. Chicago 3-13

I think that the NFC North will quietly be the best division in the NFL. The Packers are the clear cut favorite because they have the best QB in the NFL, but I think Minnesota will take big steps forward with Teddy in his second year, and Peterson back on the field. Detroit will be right there too, but Stafford is underwhelming and puts up tons of volume passing stats with no real substance, and we'll see how their defense looks with the free agent departures. It's going to be a long winter in Chicago.


NFC South

1. New Orleans 11-5
2. Carolina 9-7
3. Atlanta 6-10
4. Tampa Bay 5-11

Lost in the fact that the NFC South was putrid last year, was the fact that Drew Brees had a very very good year. I see no reason why that'll change, just that it'll probably translate into more wins this year. I really like the Panthers' defense and Cam, so picking them 2nd doesn't seem like a big stretch. Atlanta is just really kind of meh and I think Tampa will win a couple of games based on Winston being Winston.


NFC West

1. Seattle 12-4
2. Arizona 10-6*
3. St. Louis 7-9
4. San Francisco 5-11

The 49ers implosion in the last six months has been unreal to watch. They're going to absolutely crater this season and the ensuing press conferences with Tomsula are going to be hilarious. Seattle will keep being very good, as should Arizona with Carson Palmer back healthy again. It's trendy every offseason to pick the Rams as a dark horse, but I'm not falling for it again.

Pats and Colts vs *Insert AFC:E/S scrub here*

It's the reason the Bengals couldn't hold the division last year. Of course the loving lucky rear end Steelers get a Tom-ectomied Pats for their shot but the Colts are way, way better than the rest of their division. The best argument for the Ravens winning the division is that Pit has Pats/Colts, the Bengals have Bills/Texans while the Ravens get Jags/Fins.
