Every division winners take
251–275 of 1,158
Kansas City Chiefs to win the division
A surprisingly resounding Week 1 divisional win, combined with the Chargers' wobbly start losing to Arizona, and just like that, the AFC West goes through Kansas City again.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division
This team should still be the NFC South favorite (surprise, all four NFC South teams lost), and Mayfield should be fine.
New York Giants to win the division
The first part, I don't think is an overreaction. The best team in the NFC East is entirely possible.
New York Giants to win the division
The Giants are the best team in the NFC East and legit NFC contenders.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
I had the... Like, again, had the Chargers winning the division.
San Francisco 49ers to win the division
San Francisco getting there a week early always felt like the right approach, and that proved to be the case in a convincing win. Don't sleep on them to win the NFC West.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division
This team should still be the NFC South favorite (surprise, all four NFC South teams lost), and Mayfield should be fine.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
The Eagles will be battling for the division after Christmas, but they'll win the division for the third straight year.
Chicago Bears to win the division
NFC North Winner Bill: Bears.
Detroit Lions to win the division
NFC North Winner Jacob: Lions. ... I defer to the Lions, who have flaws, but also have the easiest schedule in the division.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I do. And yet I still trust the Eagles more in that division.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
if Joe Burrow is healthy, if he can stand upright throughout the season, I think the Bengals win that division

I think they are going to be a major, major factor in the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm a believer... So I'm going Bills, Cincy, Texans, Denver.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I think they will be in prime position to win a third consecutive NFC east title
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
We both had them in the AFC North Champs.

Seattle Seahawks to win the division
I still like Seattle... I still think Seattle could be the team to beat.
San Francisco 49ers to win the division
it doesn't seem too crazy to say that the 49ers can steal the NFC West title. Verdict: Reality.
Green Bay Packers to win the division
NFC North division champions. They haven't won it since 2021. Jason, yes or no? Yes.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
New Orleans Saints go from worst to first to win the NFC South
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
I even have them winning the division!

Eagles, Lions, Saints, and Rams win the division.
