Every division winners take
26–50 of 1,027
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
The Eagles will be battling for the division after Christmas, but they'll win the division for the third straight year.
Chicago Bears to win the division
NFC North Winner Bill: Bears.
Detroit Lions to win the division
NFC North Winner Jacob: Lions. ... I defer to the Lions, who have flaws, but also have the easiest schedule in the division.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I do. And yet I still trust the Eagles more in that division.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
if Joe Burrow is healthy, if he can stand upright throughout the season, I think the Bengals win that division
Buffalo Bills to win the division
I'm going Bills, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
AFC West, I made a change. Denver second, Kansas City third... I think it's a pretty magical year for the Chargers.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
I'll take the Saints to win it.
Houston Texans to win the division
AFC South... I love the Texans... So my playoff picture, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers
Detroit Lions to win the division
All right, NFC North, best division in football. I'm going to take Detroit.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
NFC East. Listen, Philadelphia's roster, I'm going to take them... but I'll take them to win it.
Baltimore Ravens to win the division
So my playoff picture, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers, Patriots, Bengals, Broncos
Los Angeles Rams to win the division
And in the NFC West, I flipped it. I went Seattle second, Rams first.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
I don't like the Saints. I love the Saints... So Dallas, Detroit, New Orleans
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
In the NFC, I've been hammering this for a while. I'm not pivoting now a couple days before the season. I'm taking the Cowboys.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
I think we get some similarities this year with that Seattle-Rams game at the end of the season dictating it. And I'm just leaning Seattle.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
I think they are going to be a major, major factor in the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm a believer... So I'm going Bills, Cincy, Texans, Denver.
Denver Broncos to win the division
The AFC West, I'm just going to ride Denver.
Houston Texans to win the division
AFC South, this is actually probably the easiest pick. I think the Houston Texans
Buffalo Bills to win the division
AFC East. I'm just betting on Josh Allen until I'm wrong... So I'm going Bills, Cincy, Texans, Denver.
Detroit Lions to win the division
The NFC North, who I'd probably pick to be the one seed... I'm a believer in Detroit... So Dallas, Detroit, New Orleans, and I'm just sticking with what I know. And Seattle
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I think they will be in prime position to win a third consecutive NFC east title
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
We both had them in the AFC North Champs.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
We both had them in the AFC North Champs.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
I still like Seattle... I still think Seattle could be the team to beat.
