Every division winners take
51–75 of 1,058
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 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.
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.
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
Los Angeles Rams to win the division
And in the NFC West, I flipped it. I went Seattle second, Rams first.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
NFC East. Listen, Philadelphia's roster, I'm going to take them... but I'll take them to win it.
Baltimore Ravens to win the division
So my playoff picture, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers, Patriots, Bengals, Broncos
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
AFC West, I made a change. Denver second, Kansas City third... I think it's a pretty magical year for the Chargers.
Buffalo Bills to win the division
I'm going Bills, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
I'll take the Saints to win it.
Detroit Lions to win the division
All right, NFC North, best division in football. I'm going to take Detroit.
Houston Texans to win the division
AFC South... I love the Texans... So my playoff picture, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers
Denver Broncos to win the division
The AFC West, I'm just going to ride Denver.
Detroit Lions to win the division
The NFC North, who I'd probably pick to be the one seed... I'm a believer in Detroit... So Dallas, Detroit, New Orleans, and I'm just sticking with what I know. And Seattle
Cincinnati Bengals to win the 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.
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
In the NFC, I've been hammering this for a while. I'm not pivoting now a couple days before the season. I'm taking the Cowboys.
Buffalo Bills to win the division
AFC East. I'm just betting on Josh Allen until I'm wrong... So I'm going Bills, Cincy, Texans, Denver.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
I think we get some similarities this year with that Seattle-Rams game at the end of the season dictating it. And I'm just leaning Seattle.
