AFC West
The most loaded division in the league is one I know well.
The floor for the Chiefs in the Mahomes era is an overtime loss at home in the AFC Championship. The ceiling is a Super Bowl win.
Meanwhile, Herbert is absolutely the real deal and the Chargers will be right in the mix. The Broncos added Russ Wilson so that will be interesting. And the Raiders have Carr but they've added Davante Adams.
All four teams should be good which means it will be hard for any team to get to 13 wins.
I think it's Chiefs-Chargers-Raiders-Broncos, but it will be very close, every team between 8 and 12 wins.
AFC North
Easiest thing on the board to predict is Super Bowl Hangover. Sorry Bengals. They were a 10-7 team that overachieved. 9-8 feels right for them.
The Steelers don't have a QB. And the Browns won't have one until week 13.
Ravens winning this division seems like easy money.
I like Ravens as only playoff team from this division. Bengals, Steelers and Browns should all be mediocre, between 6-9 wins.
AFC South
An interesting but flawed division. Titans have Tannehill and Henry but no AJ Brown. The Colts have had a good GM and roster but no quarterback since Luck left. Enter 37-year old Matt Ryan. Texans are rebuilding and Jaguars will be better but probably just frisky, not good yet.
I think it's Colts-Titans-Jaguars-Texans. Though Davis Mills showed promise. So I wouldn't be completely shocked if they show signs of life.
AFC East
Bills are great. Patriots are good. Dolphins have life and a Cheetah. And the Jets suck.
Bills-Pats-Dolphins-Jets.
AFC Playoff Picks
1 Bills
2 Ravens
3 Chiefs
4 Colts
5 Chargers
6 Pats
7 Raiders
NFC West
Rams are defending champs. 49ers are starting the Trey Lance era. Seahawks are starting over without Russ. And Cardinals have a QB that needs a homework clause and Hopkins is missing 6 games.
Rams narrowly ahead of 49ers, narrowly ahead of Cardinals. Seahawks last.
NFC North
Packers still have Rodgers but don't have Adams.
Bears are early on in their rebuild phase with Fields
And Vikings have a lot of talent but do you pick a team with Cousins ahead of a team with Rodgers?
Bears will finish in last place. I'll pick Vikings narrowly ahead of Packers, but both to make the playoffs.
NFC South
Falcons are starting the post-Matt Ryan era with Mariota. Panthers are having a qb competition between Baker and Darnold. I think the lasik-Winston Saints could be interesting. And then there's a 45-year-old QB in Tampa.
Tampa's probably better than the Saints, but at some point Brady has to show signs of being human, no?
Fine. Bucs, Saints at the top, Falcons and Panthers at the bottom.
NFC East
Danny Dimes.
Wentz.
Hurts.
Dak.
Seems too easy to stay it'll be a repeat of last year, but that's still what I think. Dak is better than Hurts, but do we really trust the Cowboys to win the division twice in a row.
So let's say Eagles just ahead of Cowboys, Commanders and Giants in the distance.
NFC Playoff Picks
1 Bucs
2 Rams
3 Vikings
4 Eagles
5 Packers
6 Saints
7 49ers
