Way too Early Division Champs and Wildcard Predictions

[Shane_O_Mac812]

Ok guys now that most of free agency is over and the draft is over we have a pretty good idea of at least the training camp rosters for the teams. So who do you predict as the Division Champs and I believe it is 3 wildcards now. I kick this off.

AFC East - New York Jets
AFC North- Baltimore Ravens
AFC West - Kansas City Chiefs
AFC South - Indianapolis Colts
Wildcards- Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns

NFC East - Dallas Cowboys
NFC North - Minnesota Vikings
NFC West - Arizona Cardinals
NFC South - Atlanta Falcons
Wildcards- New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Can we do an update after pre-season or are you going to be a dick about that too?

Eh, I think we still take the division over Dallas. We did last year with most of our team injured. We have a real corner for the first time in a decade, added to our defensive line which is the motor of our defense and added a lot of speed to our receiving core.


Most importantly though the Eagles are bringing back mostly the same coaching staff with the exception of some new faces on the offensive side of the staff and a new dline and dB coach. Meanwhile Dallas and the two other teams in the division have entirely new coaching staffs. Normally this could work to a team's favor but not this year where OTAs aren't going to happen and who knows what of training camp and preseason. Continuity will be extremely valuable heading into this season.

AFC East: Bills
AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Titans
AFC West: Chiefs

WCs: Steelers, Browns, Colts

Don't really have a ton of confidence in any of the WC pool making the playoffs sans Pittsburgh. Browns, Colts, Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, Jets, and Patriots will all be jostling for those last two spots. Jets and Patriots will have a legit shot at a murky AFC East.

NFC East: Eagles
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: 49ers

WCs: Bucs, Seahawks, Cowboys

Last spot in the NFC is probably a mess. Every division in the NFC is legitimately in play if a season happens, imo.

I can't get past the AFC East. Josh Allen had 5 game winning drives last year and he is basically the new Blake Bortles. Its hard for me to trust him winning a division. Diggs will wish he was playing with Cousins again. The Patriots got solved a bit last year and are missing anything resembling an offense. But they're still the Patriots. If they're competing, then they have a shot at the division. If they are tanking, they could let two teams from the East into the playoffs....except I distrust the Jets and Dolphins pretty much equally.

So I need to see if the Patriots are actually tanking. It kinda looks like it but if they somehow get even a halfway decent QB then I'll pick them.

 

[RP-29]

Initial guesses
NE: PHI
NN: MIN
NS: NO
NW: SEA
WC: SF, GB, DAL

AE: NE
AN: BAL
AS: TEN
AW: KC
WC: IND, PIT, BUF

Yep the AFC East is tough. I think the Bills have a ton of talent are Allen which puts him in a place where he can't really fuck it up unless the Jets and Dolphins vastly improve. The Pats are the question mark, I'm just not so sure they can win it with that offense but who knows, there defense is still ridiculous but unlikely they play as dominant as they did most of last year.

I am waiting to make predictions too many question marks especially in the AFC.

 

[Clayton]

Alright, my hunch is that the Patriots are tanking then I'm going with this:

AFC East: Bills
AFC North: Ravens
AFC West: Chiefs (1)
AFC South: Colts
WC: Steelers, Broncos, Dolphins

Big Ben coming back puts them back in the playoffs. Colts Jonathan Taylor should tear it up. Broncos and Dolphins made a lot of roster moves.

NFC East: Cowboys
NFC North: Bears
NFC West: Seahawks
NFC South: Bucs (1)
WC: Saints, Niners, Eagles

NFC seems more cutthroat and will likely come down to who stays healthy. A factor in both but choosing between NFC teams feels like flipping a coin. Picking teams who upgraded at QB to make it to the playoffs in the Bucs and Bears. I think Wilson more than Jimmy G but the Niners are stacked.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

AFC East: Patriots
AFC North: Ravens
AFC West: Chiefs
AFC South: Titans
WC: Colts, Steelers, Broncos

NFC East: Eagles
NFC North: Packers
NFC West: 49ers
NFC South: Saints
WC: Vikings, Rams, Cowboys

I had the same problem. I just can't take the AFC East seriously besides the Patriots.
