#10 Dallas Cowboys ... #9 Jacksonville Jaguars ... #8 Buffalo Bills ... #7 Chicago Bears ... #6 Houston Texans ... #5 Philadelphia Eagles ... #4 New England Patriots ... #3 Denver Broncos ... #2 Seattle Seahawks ... #1 Los Angeles Rams
I still give them four... I put Dallas in front of them. I put the Eagles in front of them. And I put the Giants in front of them.
I got Detroit at one... I got Chicago at two. I have Minnesota at three. And I have Green Bay at four.
I still got the Titans finishing last... And then I have the Colts right where they are coming in third. And I got Jacksonville winning the division. Texas coming in second.
Chicago Bears win the division. Detroit come in second, Minnesota third, Green Bay fourth.
I still think the Eagles win this division. The Cowboys come in second
we had the Bucks winning the NFC South Carolina coming in second, the Saints coming in third, and we got Atlanta finishing in last place.
I think they still fall second to last. The Patriots are really good. The Bills are really good... I think they finished last in the division [Dolphins]
they win the division. I got Baltimore coming in second, Pittsburgh third, and then Cleveland at fourth.
I have the Cardinals fitting last in the last in the division.
