126–150 of 1,158
Minnesota Vikings to win the division
They'll win they'll win the NFC North. They'll be the number one seed in the NFC.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
it should be more than enough for them to rise to the top of this trash heap. First place, 9-8 .
New England Patriots to win the division
So I I went from interested in the patriots. Oh, yeah. Playoff team. I happen to win AFC East... to now. I'm like, hey. No. I think they stack up very well with the top of the AFC.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
In what's shaping up to be a poor division, there can be a strong argument that the Eagles remain the most likely team to come out of the NFC East as the slow trickle of contributors coming back continues over the coming weeks.
