This is a really fun time of the year. Football season gets underway with the meaningful games. It is always fun to take a look at where we feel each team will fall in their respective divisions.
In the AFC North there has not been a team that won 3 division titles since the 70s. I do not think it will happen again this year. I feel the Steelers have taken a step forward and the Bengals and Ravens have taken a small step backward. Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson are both great QBs. The Bengals Defense got a little worse after losing 2 very talented Safeties. We do not know how long it will take Lamar to fully understand the new offensive scheme.
Let’s take a look at my projections.
AFC East Bills 12-5 Jets 11-6 Dolphins 10-7 Patriots 6-11
AFC North Steelers 11-6 Bengals 10-7 Ravens 9-8 Browns 7-10
AFC South Jaguars 11-6 Titans 8-9 Colts 6-11 Texans 5-12
AFC West Chiefs 13-4 Chargers 11-6 Broncos 8-9 Raiders 7-10
NFC East Eagles 11-6 Cowboys 10-7 Giants 7-10 Commanders 6-11
NFC North Vikings 11-6 Lions 10-7 Packers 9-8 Bears 5-12
NFC South Saints 10-7 Buccaneers 8-9 Falcons 6-11 Panthers 4-13
NFC West 49ers 11-6 Seahawks 10-7 Rams 5-12 Cardinals 3-14
