NFC EAST
2) Minnesota Vikings – I think QB Kyler Murray ts the Vikes perfectly. He has RB Aaron Jones, TE T.J. Hockenson and WR Justin Je erson. This team won 9 games last year and should do that (and maybe more) this season. 3) Chicago Bears – QB Caleb Williams looked good last season and he has a solid WR trio in Odunze-Burden-Raymond plus TE Colston Loveland and RB D’Andre Swift. The defense is the question mark. 4) Green Bay Packers – This is a damn good team to be placed last in this division. The Pack didn’t do much in the o -season so QB Jordan Love will need to step up and RB Josh Jacobs will need a big season. Anything could happen in the NFC Central. NFC SOUTH 1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – This may be the most improved division in all of football. I like what the Bucs did in Vita Vea & Baker May eld happy. I think the Bucs win the division again and return to the playo s. 2) New Orleans Saints – I’m shocked, but Tyler Shough is a good QB. They now have Travis Etienne to combine with Alvin Kamara at RB and Chris Olave is a stud at WR. If Bucs stumble, Saints could win the division. 3) Atlanta Falcons – The home of the left-handed QB’s with Tua Tagovailoa joining Michael Penix Jr. on the team. Drake London & Kyle Pitts will be catching balls the o -season but they need to keep
and RB Bijan Robinson is one of the best … look out for the Dirty Birds. 4) Carolina Panthers – Another improving squad. The team is led by RB Chuba Hubbard and WR Tetairoa McMillian. Is Bryce Young a true QB1? Panthers will be improved but not good enough to win the division. NFC WEST 1) Los Angeles Rams – My pick to win it and the defense is fantastic! Look for the Rams to play in the Super Bowl in February. 2) San Francisco 49ers – Can the Niners stay healthy? That is the number one question mark. RB Christian McCa rey is a monster … if he stays o the injury report. SF signed WR Mike Evans in the o -season and they have TE George Kittle … Look out LA !! 3) Seattle Seahawks – Last year’s champions will be good again this year but do you really think Sam Darnold can repeat? WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a stud but they lost RB Kenneth Walker III to Kansas City. Good team in very strong division. 4) Arizona Cardinals – QB Jacoby Brissett will have rookie RB Jeremiyah Love in the back eld along with WR Marvin Harison and TE Trey McBride. The Cards will have a long season and wins hard to nd. all this year. QB Sta ord doesn’t age, Kyren Wiliams is a solid RB, Puca Nacua is the best WR in the NFL
1) Dallas Cowboys – Say What??? Am I crazy??? How many times can the Cowboys look good
before the season starts and take a dump in the regular season? The o ense is solid and I’m hoping the defense improves. I’m picking the Cowboys to win the NFC East. 2) Philadelphia Eagles – RB Saquon Barkley needs a big year, QB Jalen Hurts needs to be solid, defense has to stay healthy and if all that happens, the Eagles should win the division. 3) New York Giants – Can this team stay out of the hospital? Giants have talent but they have a million question marks with injured players returning. If they stay healthy the G-Men could take the division crown. 4) Washington Commanders – It’s all about QB Jayden Daniels. If he can stay on the eld, this team can win a few games. I can’t see them winning the division but they can pull a few upsets. NFC NORTH
1) Detroit Lions – Led by QB Jared Go , RB Jahmyr Gibbs and WR
Amon-Ra St.Brown, the Lions will score points. They better because this is one tough division. The Lions fate might lay in the hands of their defense.
