NFC East
1.
New York Giants
2.
Washington Redskins
3.
Dallas Cowboys
4.
Philadelphia Eagles
Analysis: It seems it's about time for the
New York Giants to win the division again as it's been a couple seasons for Romeo. But I do expect the
Washington Redskins to be much improved behind new management, but still a year off from consistently winning the division. The
Dallas Cowboys will have to take notice as a 9-7 season won't be enough anymore. And the
Philadelphia Eagles are still last....you don't need me to tell you why.
NFC North
1.
Chicago Bears
2.
Minnesota Vikings
3.
Detroit Lions
4.
Green Bay Packers
Analysis: I don't expect anyone but the
Chicago Bears to compete for this division -- they're the best team and there is no question. Second place I'll tip toward the
Minnesota Vikings as they seem about one year from their next dynasty run. The
Detroit Lions could have been in contention but they decide to regress and turn Sam Bradford into Teddy Bridgewater for some reason. Last place is the
Green Bay Packers. They had a good run last year, but I firmly believe they overperformed.
NFC South
1.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2.
Carolina Panthers
3.
Atlanta Falcons
4.
New Orleans Saints
Analysis: I always hate putting Bryan Mellon first, but this
Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster will do just fine. Second place is likely the
Carolina Panthers, as they have a consistent, but not dominant team. I worry that the
Atlanta Falcons missed their window with Manning and are now stuck with Bortles. And the
New Orleans Saints are still rebuilding, but a couple of pieces away from domination.
NFC West
1.
San Francisco 49ers
2.
Seattle Seahawks
3.
St. Louis Rams
4.
Arizona Cardinals
Analysis: The slander can be thrown in the direction of the champion
San Francisco 49ers, as they have to be the favorites to win this division. I do think the
Seattle Seahawks will push them for most of the season however. Third place I put the
St. Louis Rams, who with some good coaching could find themselves fighting for the wild card. Last place is the
Arizona Cardinals who are still rebuilding.
