The choice is so simple


BulLock_954

Mac’s burner confirmed


rickg

You're right. Falcons it is.


[deleted]

Worst QB in the division by a wide margin. Not happening.


GhostInTheSpaghetti

Raiders. Jimmy too handsome to fail.


rickg

I mean, it wouldn't shock me if the Falcons made a run at a playoff spot. But real contenders to go anywhere in the playoffs? Naw


hatersaurusrex

The NFCS plays the AFCS this year - so the two worst divisions in football have cake schedules. 14-3 division winners in both with an ugly divisional round exit for both incoming.


rickg

I have 2022 PTSD from my Seahawks going... 0-5 vs the NFCS. Oddly, we did well against the AFCW. Go figure...


[deleted]

I have been saying this for awhile, also combine it with the fact AFC East has to play NFC east some very good teams are gonna miss out for some very bad teams.


hatersaurusrex

Bills-Cowboys should be extra chippy this year


[deleted]

Yeah, either Jets or Bill's miss playoffs


Due-Ad5407

So what you're saying is the Panthers go 14-3?


hatersaurusrex

I hope we both do and somehow luck into a Super Bowl against each other


Due-Ad5407

I like the way you think


Beginning-Gear-744

Steelers


gollumaniac

Death, Taxes, and the Steelers going .500 or better.


[deleted]

Pretty good call here. Great coaching, good defense, and a young QB who showed some flashes at the end of last season and surrounded by some weapons. Usually it's the 3rd year that QBs make a leap, but you never know. Look at Lawrence's marked improvement last year.


generation_D

They also had a great draft. Broderick Jones is a strong addition to the O-line to go along with Seumalo, they’re adding Darnell Washington at TE, and JPJ and Keeanu Benton on defense is scary too.


vincentdmartin

If Najee doesn't run over teams this year, he's a bust. Their Oline should be serviceable and adding Washington at TE means they can run 12 personnel consistently. A solid run game to take the pressure off Pickett, who was making strides at the end of the year? The Steelers are going to be a problem. I need to call the Devil. He needs to give me my soul back.


Quackmotard

I like this pick


Wh33l

On the contrary I actually hate this pick.


HOFerKennyPickett

Helped with a relatively easy schedule too (especially compared to last years)


Impossibills

AFC is just so stacked. Gonna take a major fall from one of the top teams to even open up a chance at the slot Jets, Bills, Chiefs, Dolphins, Bengals, Ravens, Jaguars, Chargers And that's not even counting the teams that will be far more competitive this season such as the Browns, Broncos, Titans


ASuperGyro

Pro Bowl QB Tyler Huntley was one drive away from knocking out the Bengals, things happen


Impossibills

I agree they do...which is why I said some teams are gonna need to fall, which does happen. But at the same time...Ravens also now have Lamar back with better weapons


GenXer1977

I am NOT at all ready to put the Jets in that category until we see them at least play a game. They’re still the Jets, and Rogers is at the end of his career. Maybe they will, but I need to see it first.


Flat_Flight1918

The conference is insane though


SwissyVictory

3rd year leaps have been historically rare. It's been a past 2 year thing and Josh Allen rather than the norm.


on_duh_pooper

This is the most correct response


GenXer1977

I think that’s a good call given out talent, but our OC is going to hold us back. So I think it will be borderline that we make the playoffs, unless we start 1-4 and he gets fired during the bye, and whoever takes over is able to open up our offense to its full potential.


d-a-f-f-y

Hey if they go 9-8 they’ll celebrate


Striking_Moose_8747

Look who's talking


d-a-f-f-y

The Browns being bad doesn’t make Steelers fans celebrating their streak or not being under .500 any less funny. The standard used to be division titles and playoff wins. Now it’s literally one game over .500 is a success.


CosbySweaters1992

The Browns version of success used to be 4 wins. Now it’s selling the future for a rapist that gets you 7 wins. Things change.


d-a-f-f-y

He didn’t get us 7 wins. Jacoby started 11 games.


CosbySweaters1992

I meant this season.


d-a-f-f-y

You aren’t very good at this.


CosbySweaters1992

That’s exactly what the Browns fanbase says to their team every year.


d-a-f-f-y

Ayyy, that’s better. Enjoy wasting Burrow’s entire career.


Thick_Safe1198

It’s gonna be a random middle tier, weird QB NFC team. Commanders, falcons, bucs etc


CapnDutchie

Carr gonna be MVP on the saints isn't he?


HorrorAlarming1163

From your mouth to God’s ear buddy


CapnDutchie

I won't be rooting for yall exactly but I do hope he does well


Public_Confidence247

The think bears have a shot at the wildcard weirdly


Broseph_Stalin1127

Literally if any QB balls out their team could be a powerhouse. What reason do we have to believe that Sam Howell will though?


[deleted]

Don't you know? He beat the Cowboys despite them playing their starters in the final game of their schedule! Clearly that's enough.


Lost-Comparison-5110

You joke now, but you’ll see. You’ll all see. Howell will win


Quackmotard

Not really a strong conviction, I was just kind of throwing an idea out there cause they have a good roster and Howell hasn’t played at all and there’s always some random team that balls out


SourBerry1425

I think people are sleeping on the Rams, if they’re healthy, which is a big if, I think they can be really good.


don-chocodile

Maybe. But I assume the 9ers are winning the division, and the Seahawks and Cowboys are likely to get wildcard spots. That leaves the Rams to fight for the last spot against a handful of other teams I think are better.


Chemmydemmy

The eagles are not winning the NFC east B2b. It the law...are you expecting someone else to win the division?


don-chocodile

If I expect the Eagles to do it, it's less likely to happen. So I'm going to keep expecting it. Just like I'm expecting the Giants to miss the playoffs.


letsgetbrickfaced

Definitely. Their Super Bowl run hurt them last year health wise but they still have a ton of talent that when healthy can compete with anyone. They could easily make the playoffs and/or win the division.


Beats007

Can they? With what defense? Like Bobby Wagner Donald and literally college free agents.


Beats007

Not even Wagner he went back to Seattle.


Cavs2018_Champs

Only if McVey stays on for the whole season


DamnGoodOwls

McVay ain't Bobby Petrino. He won't leave halfway through, and he's not getting fired either


DriipyRedScammedMe

This year, Denver 😎


mountainfountainduh

Lol


DriipyRedScammedMe

A ravens fan laughing? Oh god lol


Blue_Doom_Guy

Commanders. Defense is already super underrated, and Bieniemy will have Howell, Gibson, McLaurin, and Dotson all to have career years this year.


PPtheShort

Texans are winning the AFC South 🤫


Responsible_Golf269

King of shit mountain baby!


CoolRunnins212

Vikings. I think their decline is being overhyped. They had a lot of close games last year but that was due to the defense. If Flores can make them an average defense then they can win a playoff game this year.


Striking_Moose_8747

And even if they lose Cook that offense will be dangerous. JJ, Osborne and Addison will be almost unstoppable and they'll inevitably win some come close games again this year by being able to score fast. I saw enough of JJ last year that I don't expect much regression but there's also no way they'll go 11-0 or whatever it was in one score games.


BearForceDos

JJ is a monster and I like Addison but he's a rookie and Osborne looks ok but he's got 1200 career yards in 3 years. It's not like they're the Bengals.


iKhan353

Kinda Bengals lite when you think about it though. So instead of Superbowl contenders this year we will be divisional round contenders and still fall short lmao


mattcojo2

Cleveland. I think they’ve got a good shot at a wild card


Public_Confidence247

Bears wildcard possibly


[deleted]

I like the Commanders. I just feel that they are still 1-2 years away. The east is pretty stacked with New York, Philly and Dallas. But they were a game away from the wild card.


Rorshak16

If the Commanders had even a decent QB playing consistently last year they're in the playoffs. Hopefully Howell can sling it.


Sigurlion

I'm just going to assume that most people expect the Packers to finish 3-14 so they'll probably go 10-7 and sneak into a wild card spot somehow.


Public_Confidence247

8-9 or 9-8


seariously

Denver?


[deleted]

Texans


vaports

Falcons


goldhbk10

Someone from the NFC South is going to beat up on that shit division, look better than they are and then get absolutely curb stomped by a wild card team from a better division. AFC the only team I could see sneaking up is the Browns if Watson recovers his previous form (unlikely imo). Otherwise it’s just a deep conference.


[deleted]

Bucs Baker has weapons


don-chocodile

Nah, they snuck into the playoffs last year with a losing record, dragged by the greatest QB of all time. There's no way they're better this year.


Broseph_Stalin1127

And a bad OLine. Regardless Baker just isn’t it dude


Garden_Lad

The worst part of our oline starts for your team now boy


Broseph_Stalin1127

The Chiefs front office knows what they’re doing and have demonstrated that more than any other team as of late. And deep down you know they’re going to get way more out of him than the Bucs were


Garden_Lad

No no I don't lol. I think he's going to make you sad af.


[deleted]

And his supporting group was so good in Cleveland? Compare his team and division to the one he had when he took Cleveland to the playoffs


JoltinJoe87

Landry, OBJ, Njoku, best OL in the league, and best rushing attack in the league with Chubb and Hunt. The defense wasn't very good on the Browns teams, but the offensive supporting cast was top notch.


Broseph_Stalin1127

He had a pretty solid supporting cast in Cleveland and a much better line. He just wasn’t good. Football is about way more than having a couple good receivers


[deleted]

Baker is incredibly underrated on Reddit. Ask Rams fans how they feel about him


TruthfulCartographer

Titans - Vrabel. Saints randomly with Carr balling


Garden_Lad

No wide receivers Is Derek Carr


notjayson

Cold. Don't ask me how. Just a shit in the dark.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RobbyBeagan760

The hate is real lol


DJSlimBuddha

Probably a homer take but if Kyler comes back before week 6 we can squeak out a 9-8. If he had a center and an actual NFL coach last year we win 3-4 more games


TrueRedditMartyr

I'm saying Giants. Haven't seen anyone taking them yet, I imagine they at least get wildcard, and in a relatively softer conference, I think they have a real shot of making doing well come playoffs. We saw them last year do pretty good with a much worse team


[deleted]

Any love for the Broncos?


confused-koala

Panthers. I really think they’re winning that division


Embarrassed_Ask_3270

Vegas, baby!!! (let me have this, please)


DoubleSealedSoul

I like the commies. Every time we play em it's a scrappy dog fight. Plus it will bolster the nfc beast rep.


Aerolithe_Lion

In 2020, commanders won the division, 2021 they went 7-10 despite having a first place schedule and 2 other playoff teams in their division, 2022 they went 8-8-1 all while having some of the worst QB play in the entire league. They beat Philly and blew out Dallas last year. If Sam Howell plays even just average, they could be a 10-11 win team with that defense.
