The season is close. Who do you think will win each division and which teams will make it as Wildcards?

AFC East: New England.


This is the easiest division to choose. I think the Jets and Bills will improve, but not even close enough to challenge. Miami will probably be drafting first or second overall.

AFC North: Pittsburgh

They still have the best qb and I think they will be better off w/out all of last year's distractions. I think the Bengals will stink. I think the Browns have talent and Baltimore finds ways to win games. This was a very tough call.

AFC South: Colts

This division was perhaps the hardest to choose. All four teams have the ability to win it. I think the Colts have the best HC and are the most complete team. This is going to be a big year for Watson in Houston. I think he holds the ball too long and that is a no-no in this league.

AFC West: Chiefs

I think KC gets to the SB this year. The Chargers are talented, but the Gordon thing is big and Rivers' arm is starting to scare me. Raiders will be better. Denver is around a 6-7 win team.

AFC Wildcard: Chargers and Browns.


I wouldn't sleep on Jax, but I'm going to go w/the home team.


NFC East: Cowboys


Two team race between Dallas and Philly. Giants and Washington will stink. I'll say Dallas, provided they get Zeke back.

NFC North: Bears


I have them edging out the Vikings. Cousins isn't doing it for me. Something seems off. GB has Rodgers, so you never know.

NFC South: Saints


A lot of people like ATL, but I think the Saints will be on a mission. I do wonder about Brees' arm strength. He is really getting up there.

NFC West: Rams

They are the most complete team. Cardinals will be fighting w/Miami for the first overall pick. Seattle and SF are middle of the road teams.


NFC Wildcards: Eagles and Vikings.


Atlanta has a shot, but I'll leave them out.

I haven’t seen anybody pick CIncy to make the playoffs anywhere, so if they do ... you’ll get all the credit

How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

AFC North was one of the tougher ones to pick. I think the Browns have the best team and there were plenty of positives to build on from last year. The coaching is greatly improved and a lot of things to look forward to. It's still a new coaching staff though and some of the recent history is hard to shake. Tough call.

AFC South... well, somebody has to win it. I'm kind of between the Texans and Jags here. With a healthy and not-retired Andrew Luck, I would have taken the Colts.

AFC West... Chargers I feel are a bit overlooked pretty much everywhere, but here too they are bumped to a Wild Card spot. Chiefs are really good.

In the NFC, I think a lot of people are overlooking the Packers. There's been a lot of turmoil there and Aaron Rodgers might be a jerk, but he's been an incredible player in the league. I'll give them a Wild Card spot though I was tempted to put them as NFC North winners.

Random... I don't have much faith in the Cowboys to do anything right, so they don't make the playoffs at all in my scenario.

Dolphins are favored for the #1 overall pick.


(Changed final NFC Wild Card spot from Falcons to Seahawks)

I still worry about Green Bay’s defense ... but, their offense should be a bit better now that the skill guys have a year experience with Rodgers.

As for the #1 pick ... Dolphins would be my choice too

I agree with this totally with one exception.

I expect the Titans to win the AFC South.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

IMO .. the toughest divisions to pick winners this year: AFC South, NFC North, AFC North

The easiest divisions to pick: AFC East, NFC West, NFC South
