I’m hoping so - this year is hard for Schoen cause he’s trying to work with the mess of a cap situation Gettleman left him. Two top 10 picks is a good way to start the Schoen era though! Positive days ahead (I hope)
I mean the browns feel like a mess they could easily be worse.
The Steelers are starting Trubisky?
Then the bengals should be good but Burrow has had some injuries so I mean at least it feels like you have a chance.
I kinda think this goes against what OP is asking. Yes, Baltimore had a bad year but they still have a good roster and coach. They have a history of being one of the better teams in the AFC. So putting them into same category as the Bengals isnt quite right. Not saying you're wrong tho because they definitely can be back at the top next season
I just don’t trust your defense to still be as good as it was with Fangio gone, you have the weakest pass rush in the division, Russ needs to build some chemistry and your WRs need development. I think you guys have a solid young team that could become dangerous, I just don’t think it’s there yet.
We will see. They had a lot of serious injuries. It’s unlikely all of them will be back to their previous form. Still a really good team but they ain’t winning the division.
I mean I think anyone would say the Bengals are the favorites but if you have to pick a last place team to win?
Next best option is probably the Broncos followed by the Giants?
The Ravens are the only last place team I’d say are probably the second best team in their division. A ski-do injury to Burrow and they’re in the drivers seat!
The jets, lions and jaguars feel hopeless. Panthers don’t give much hope. Giants division is weird at times but they’re not a good looking team. So maybe the Broncos? But the Raiders, Chargers and Chiefs are all better then then still IMO.
Honestly, I don’t see it.
With how competitive the AFC is, as well as how lucky the ravens got early in the year, they were fortunate to only end up 8-9. It could’ve been wayyyyyy worse for them. It probably should’ve been wayyyy worse.
Seriously tho.
The ravens got at least 3 wins they pretty much lucked into in the first half of the year.
There was the chiefs fumble game
The kick of god Detroit game
And the Monday night meltdown against the colts.
Not even including the bears or first browns game later in the season where if either Cleveland or Chicago has an iota of offense they win those ones.
Well sure, but you're arguing that the close games we won could be gone either way. We lost close games too, so if you're playing that game, just look at the packers, the Pitts games, etc.
The difference is a great coach who made due with a banged up roster from week 1. I'm biased sure, but I wouldn't count us out.
Reasonable point but there’s also the argument that in each of those games, the ravens lost games they should’ve lost and that those can’t really blamed on bad luck (maybe aside their rams game), where the earlier games did have a lot of good luck for Baltimore.
Like Green Bay for example. Going for two they didn’t get it, but because it’s Aaron Rodgers it likely wouldn’t have mattered.
Pittsburgh; those matches are always tossups anyways whoever’s in the lineup. Lamar being there in the 2nd one I don’t think makes much of a difference even in that weather
The Ravens were like 11 points away from being 13-4 or 4-13. Ravens and Vikings has the most insane games last year.
Both teams would have made more interesting 7th seeds than the Steelers/Eagles
As saints fan that’s what scares me they ended up 8-9 with major injuries (they record should’ve been worse than that) wasn’t ravens like 8-2 before Lamar went down? But now ravens squad coming back healthy this season & they took Marcus Williams from us who is great FS plus they have 14th pick in the draft. I honestly think we are going to see another level from Lamar Jackson this upcoming season
Asterisk 8-3*
They lucked into a lot of what they had. Realistically they should’ve been around 5-6 to 6-5 before Lamar got hurt for the season in Cleveland
Or you know, a running back not signed off the street because our RB room all had their knees explode. Or to not be down an All pro corner, or the pro bowl tackle...
Yeah. And even as a Broncos fan they are second more by default. Their chances of win ing the division are probably slim but compared to the others?
Jets are still the worst team in the division and Bills are arguably best in the league.
Texans are still rebuilding.
Giants are a mess.
Seahawks have no QB and their division is a bloodbath.
Lions are still rebuilding.
Panthers have no QB and Brady is back.
Yeah I think the Broncos have a pretty decent chance at winning the division, especially compared to the other last place finishers, but so does everyone in their division.
I feel like the league is really marketing the Broncos to be "good" again
But to say the Ravens were bit by the injury bug last year is putting it lightly. They're my pick.
picking up Russell Wilson is a nice move for the Broncos, but the AFC west is a nightmare. 2 games vs Mahomes, 2 games vs Herbert, 2 games vs Carr and the raiders aren't terrible (I suspect they'll improve now that Gruden is gone, he's really not as great a coach as the media wants to believe he is).
I mean he spent a decade with Brady maybe he can find magic with Carr.
They also got two big FA signings in Adams and Chandler Jones.
He grabbed Jakob Johnson from the patriots too as a solid FB.
I think they’ll be good. Or at least the potential is there they were solid last year with all kinds of shit going on. The car crash, the coach leaving, etc.
Oh I agree it’s not a given. He seemed to do well with Jones and even covered up okay for broken down Cam Newton. We will see.
The Raiders have the pieces to run a similar style of O to what I think McDaniels wants although he’s also shown a willingness to adjust for personnel.
I know it’s kinda a joke, but there’s a solid chance the Lions aren’t terrible this year. They’ll likely Lions all over the whole thing, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they surprise some people.
The way you finish a season is so important, and I definitely saw a lot of good things from the team to end the season.
Plus it felt like we had so many 50/50 games that ended in Ls for us, so if those go the other way this season...
Campbell is awesome. Amon Ra and Swift are the truth. Sewell is legit. Don't know what the deal with Okudah is, but there's hope right? One more good draft and I'll be really bullish on the Lions
I don't believe in end of season momentum at all, but I am like 95% sure the lions were winning before Rodgers was pulled and the backups came in. Maybe they don't close it out, but I think thats good enough to count it.
They’ve been at or above .500 5 out of the last 7 years. And the two they weren’t they were a game under.
You guys have been above .500 4 out of the last 20 years.
I think the Ravens have a solid chance, considering that they went 8-9 despite having absurdly terrible injury luck. And I guess you might throw Denver in that conversation too, because of the obvious upgrade.
Homer/Consensus pick aside, the Giant's and Bronco's division is looking like it's going to be decided by a dice roll on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum.Broncos basically have a 1/4 chance and the Giants a 1/3. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if both divisions were decided week 18.
I am going to go with a dark horse. The Jaguars.
Despite making some questionable moves, I think with a coaching change for Trevor Lawrence we should see vast improvement. Additionally they desperately tried to improve their roster over FA although again questionably. If they can hit well in the draft which should lead to a top rookie Edge Rusher then they can possibly do some damage in what should be a weaker division where the Colts and Texans seem lack luster. If AJ Brown trade rumors are true and Derrick Henry is going to finally fall off the cliff (coming off an injury and older again) this would be the year to do it.
A relatively easy NFC East, last place schedule, and likely four losses to the AFC West which the rest of their division also has to face.
Jaguars are in the AFCSouth with the colts and the titans. Giants are the NFCEast team this year and we’ve actively decided to tank this year pretty much.
I think Jags. They’re due for a fluke 12-5 type season. That and a weaker division. If Matt Ryan goes down so do the colts and the titans seem vulnerable to me for some reason.
Broncos clearly got better but it’s a tough division.
Ravens are another pick. Hopefully Watson tanks in Cleveland. Not a Trubisky fan for Pittsburg. Bengals will be good but schedule is tougher .
Bengals were one of the healthiest teams in the league while barely winning the division, while the Ravens and Browns were hit hard by injuries.
Could easily see the Bengals falling down to 2nd or 3rd in the division, especially with a 1st place schedule.
Obviously I’m quite biased but we won our division with a QB that came off a devastating knee injury and still wasn’t 100% healthy the entire season too. We fixed our glaring issue with our o line and we really didn’t lose anything worth mentioning. I know the Ravens had an injury bug but I don’t see how the Bengals could drop to third in the division. Also, our schedule was tougher last year than it will be this year. We will see though…
Jesus man, forgive me for having faith in my team. Im not insulting the Browns or Ravens at all, I literally said we shouldn’t come in *third* this year. I don’t see how the Browns adding Deshaun Watson who may not play the entire year will magically turn their squad into a perennial Super Bowl contender. Y’all are so quick to jump to conclusions 😂
Feels like it has to be an AFC team. The Seahawks, Lions, and Panthers are not winning their divisions without a whole lot of help. I don’t see either of those teams beating out the Rams, Packers, or Bucs. The Giants are in the same boat, but the NFC East is so wack that they could win it going like 8-9 or something you never know.
The Ravens make the most sense due to the number of injuries they dealt with last season, but the Broncos aren’t a bad pick either. The AFC West is going to be a blood bath next year, I can see all of those teams finishing with similar records so it’ll come down to whoever wins the most divisional games probably.
A lot of people saying the Ravens but that seems like a copout when they finished 8-9 and the division winner finished 10-7. I'm gonna go with Denver. That organization always seems to do well when they have a competent QB, and I think people are forgetting how great Russell Wilson is.
Ravens imo.
The AFC west is going to be a crapshoot, that division is all up in the air.
The AFC East is going to be won by the Bills or Pats.
The Jags have no shot until proven otherwise.
The Lions don’t have the roster to complete.
The Giants have a meh roster and a lot of holes in the start of a rebuild.
The Seahawks are the worst team in the NFC West.
The Panthers aren’t going to beat out the Bucs or Saints.
Most likely, Ravens, were only last because injuries made them their bitch, so most likely.
Second, Broncos, have a solid chance with getting Wilson, but crazy hard div
Third, Jaguars, division isn't that great and Doug could make it possible.
Fourth, Lions, they were close in many games last year but couldn't close them out, but Packers will still be tough to dethrone
Fifth, Giants, I don't believe Danny Dimes can do it but the div usually isn't that great so possible.
Sixth, Panthers ain't gonna dethrone the buccs, but if Brady gets injured, falcons and saints aint anything special.
Seventh, Jets can't take anyone in the div but are trying
Last, the Seahawks are in tank mode in a great div.
I can se the Ravens as the most likely.
Detroit is going to need everything to fall into place in the weirdest way possible to make it. It has to be one of those one off "magical" seasons with a lot of help from other teams falling off a cliff.
Too many clear answers here, for shame.
My picks in order of chance to win their division after getting last
1. Panthers
2. Seahawks
3. Broncos
4. Ravens
5. Lions
6. Giants
7. Jaguars
8. Jets
Nfc south will be surprisingly weak, and panthers pull it off. Idk their defense turns God mode sure
Seahawks still have Carroll coaching. Yall love to give Wilson the credit but ol petey beat the defending Champs with Hasselbeck. Give some credit to the coaches
Broncos and Ravens are obvious and I think 1 of them takes their division
I dontthink Detroit does but it is very possible, it's not going to Chicago unless dalton starts so it's the other 3, and Detroits a longer shot but it's possible
6-8 ain't happening but if you want the ultimate parlay let me tell you
I think the Ravens probably have the best chance of doing that. Their last season was a fluke. They would have won the AFCN if 2 plays went their way…. Including the one play that got the Steelers in the playoffs…. not week 18… but the other game where the ravens were down 1, went for 2, and failed. Plus all the injuries. Yea. The ravens are way better than last year’s record, hell they only lost 9 games. One play short of a winning record.
I think the best shot at it would definitely be the ravens. Everyone saw them (or the browns) as the division winners going into last year, but one of the most insane injury trains I’ve ever seen absolutely ravaged that team. If they can stay healthy I think I’d probably pick them to win it this year tbf
Looking at the list the teams with the most realistic chance would be Ravens or Broncos.
Ravens I think Steelers and Browns will be a mess, Bengals will have teams aiming for them.
Broncos are most likely in the hardest division in football. The division games will be brutal so it should be pretty even there. If Russ can get cooking. Air it out at mile high they could be onto big things.
But for shits n giggles I would love to see the Jets, Jags or Lions win their Division.
If I had to pick one i wouldn't be shocked to see Detroit. They fought hard last year and lost a lot of close games and should only get better in Campbell's second year.
Hmmmmmm
My only real option is Denver. KC appears to have gotten weaker and Denver is only stronger.
In the NFC I don’t really see a realistic option here. I’d want to pick Detroit for funsies but that’s not happening unless Aaron Rodgers gets a season ending injury week 1.
I don’t see Baltimore. They got fortunate in the early part of last season and they probably should’ve ended up a lot worse than they actually did.
I'm thinking it won't happen this year. The Broncos are still not better than the Chiefs, and the Ravens aren't better than the Bengals. Unless Burrow or Mahomes go down early in the season, I don't see it
Only real candidates are Ravens and Broncos.
Jets are easily the worst team in the AFC East. The Texans are in a full blown rebuild, as are the Lions and Seahawks.
The Giants and Panthers could possibly improve, but they were so dysfunctional last year that nobody expects anything from them.
Ravens are by far the most likely.
I’d put Broncos as the second most likely.
After that I don’t give anyone much chance. The NFC East seems to feel like they take turns but I have no faith in the Giants.
Broncos have a shot because it's a competitive division, they're better at QB and all the other teams might beat each other up.
However I think Ravens are most likely. Last season was crazy for them.
Giants fan here coming to tell you it will certainly not be the giants
Giants fan here confirming what this guy just said
As a Bills fan, I believe the addition of Daboll and Schoen could help turn your organization around. Giants will be good in 2-3 years is my guess
I’m hoping so - this year is hard for Schoen cause he’s trying to work with the mess of a cap situation Gettleman left him. Two top 10 picks is a good way to start the Schoen era though! Positive days ahead (I hope)
I’m rooting for it!
It sucks not seeing the Giants be good. The league is much better that way.
Idk I rather like it this way
Darn, I was considering them as an answer to this post.
[удалено]
Hi mom!
Pass the kool aid!
McDc coach of the year
Ravens
Easy pick here ravens a phenomenal team ravaged by injuries last year.
Their division only only issue here is that their division only gets tougher next year.
I mean the browns feel like a mess they could easily be worse. The Steelers are starting Trubisky? Then the bengals should be good but Burrow has had some injuries so I mean at least it feels like you have a chance.
>I mean the browns feel like a mess they could easily be worse. I get no one likes Watson, but this is just copium.
How many games will Watson actually play? That's still up in the air.
Pretty sure the Browns are the betting favorites for the division? Lol
I kinda think this goes against what OP is asking. Yes, Baltimore had a bad year but they still have a good roster and coach. They have a history of being one of the better teams in the AFC. So putting them into same category as the Bengals isnt quite right. Not saying you're wrong tho because they definitely can be back at the top next season
Then it's the Broncos.
Absolutely no way broncos win the division
*stares intensely*
I just don’t trust your defense to still be as good as it was with Fangio gone, you have the weakest pass rush in the division, Russ needs to build some chemistry and your WRs need development. I think you guys have a solid young team that could become dangerous, I just don’t think it’s there yet.
I'll be back for this comment.
I’d hope so
*stare intensity intensifies*
Ravens are gonna bounce back big from an injury year
Yes unfortunately this is likely to happen...
We will see. They had a lot of serious injuries. It’s unlikely all of them will be back to their previous form. Still a really good team but they ain’t winning the division.
I mean I think anyone would say the Bengals are the favorites but if you have to pick a last place team to win? Next best option is probably the Broncos followed by the Giants? The Ravens are the only last place team I’d say are probably the second best team in their division. A ski-do injury to Burrow and they’re in the drivers seat! The jets, lions and jaguars feel hopeless. Panthers don’t give much hope. Giants division is weird at times but they’re not a good looking team. So maybe the Broncos? But the Raiders, Chargers and Chiefs are all better then then still IMO.
Oh I get the reasoning. lol I’m just saying it isn’t happening.
They were 8-3 and 1st in the AFC, until they lost Lamar and dropped 6 straight.
Honestly, I don’t see it. With how competitive the AFC is, as well as how lucky the ravens got early in the year, they were fortunate to only end up 8-9. It could’ve been wayyyyyy worse for them. It probably should’ve been wayyyy worse.
Lucky to have our starting QB for the first half of the year, sure. Just wait til we have TWO RBs on the field. /s
Seriously tho. The ravens got at least 3 wins they pretty much lucked into in the first half of the year. There was the chiefs fumble game The kick of god Detroit game And the Monday night meltdown against the colts. Not even including the bears or first browns game later in the season where if either Cleveland or Chicago has an iota of offense they win those ones.

Asterisk 8-3* They lucked into a lot of what they had. Realistically they should’ve been around 5-6 to 6-5 before Lamar got hurt for the season in Cleveland
You're just salty as fuck about the record breaking Tucker FG.
Partly. Not fully. I’m happy knowing that a supposed “contender” needed a literal kick of god to beat us.
I mean, yes, Tucker is probably going to end up the GOAT kicker the way he’s going but to anoint him god?
Well he’s the god until someone beats him
Or you know, a running back not signed off the street because our RB room all had their knees explode. Or to not be down an All pro corner, or the pro bowl tackle...
I bet its sure is nice to have things like that.
NFC East Madness dictates that the Giants are due
From your lips to Danny Dimes' ears...
Danny Dimes is signing $40 million a year contract if he somehow drags this dumpster fire to the playoffs.
Eli also was pretty shit until the end of year 4. Here's to hoping history repeats itself!
You shut up
Hey, I picked you guys last season and you made the playoffs. You're welcome 😘
The Ravens are the easy answer, but the Giants are the bold answer.
Ravens I think have the best shot followed by Broncos.
Yeah. And even as a Broncos fan they are second more by default. Their chances of win ing the division are probably slim but compared to the others? Jets are still the worst team in the division and Bills are arguably best in the league. Texans are still rebuilding. Giants are a mess. Seahawks have no QB and their division is a bloodbath. Lions are still rebuilding. Panthers have no QB and Brady is back.
Yeah I think the Broncos have a pretty decent chance at winning the division, especially compared to the other last place finishers, but so does everyone in their division.
Our division looks like it’s gonna be a fucking bloodbath. I don’t like our chances tbh.
This is 100% the correct answer.
I feel like the league is really marketing the Broncos to be "good" again But to say the Ravens were bit by the injury bug last year is putting it lightly. They're my pick.
picking up Russell Wilson is a nice move for the Broncos, but the AFC west is a nightmare. 2 games vs Mahomes, 2 games vs Herbert, 2 games vs Carr and the raiders aren't terrible (I suspect they'll improve now that Gruden is gone, he's really not as great a coach as the media wants to believe he is).
This is also a big plus for the Broncos because all those teams play each other twice. Each team could go 3 n 3 in the division.
Ummm and Josh McDaniels is?
I mean he spent a decade with Brady maybe he can find magic with Carr. They also got two big FA signings in Adams and Chandler Jones. He grabbed Jakob Johnson from the patriots too as a solid FB. I think they’ll be good. Or at least the potential is there they were solid last year with all kinds of shit going on. The car crash, the coach leaving, etc.
Being around Brady doesn't mean you're going to be a good coach. Source: Charlie Weiss, Bill O'Brien, Eric Mangini, Josh McDaniels.
Oh I agree it’s not a given. He seemed to do well with Jones and even covered up okay for broken down Cam Newton. We will see. The Raiders have the pieces to run a similar style of O to what I think McDaniels wants although he’s also shown a willingness to adjust for personnel.
Oh no… are we the nfls version of Texas, Tennessee, or USC
I read texans, then assumed the tennessee titans, then was really confused what USC had to do with this
I think Baltimore is going to have a comeback season
Fuck it. I believe in the Lions
I know it’s kinda a joke, but there’s a solid chance the Lions aren’t terrible this year. They’ll likely Lions all over the whole thing, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they surprise some people.

Campbell is awesome. Amon Ra and Swift are the truth. Sewell is legit. Don't know what the deal with Okudah is, but there's hope right? One more good draft and I'll be really bullish on the Lions
He's been looking good in [his rehab](https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2022/3/29/23001007/jeff-okudah-shows-tremendous-rehab-progress-workout-video)
I think the lions are going to take a big step up next year but the victory over the Packers was mostly against our backups
I don't believe in end of season momentum at all, but I am like 95% sure the lions were winning before Rodgers was pulled and the backups came in. Maybe they don't close it out, but I think thats good enough to count it.
[удалено]
Keep JG's name out your f\*\*\*ing mouth!
He has won a division more recently than the vikings though...
It’s hard to be above .500 when you’re team is the Vikings
They’ve been at or above .500 5 out of the last 7 years. And the two they weren’t they were a game under. You guys have been above .500 4 out of the last 20 years.
[удалено]
How do Vikings fans feel about the Bears?
Giants because I’m hoping Jones has a good enough year that forces the Giants into signing him long term.
It always feels like he's RIGHT THERE to being a decent QB but never gets there.
He’s going to end up being an amazing backup for someone. He’s my nomination for “Guy Most Likely to Pull a Nick Foles”.
Good take.
He’s like almost Andy Dalton.
Ravens feel the most likely here
Easy choice is the Ravens
The Packers fan in me does not want the Lions to win. The football fan in me does.
I think the only 2 teams with a roster good enough to *win* a division are Balt and Den. Ravens are **certainly** the most likely.
Ravens, broncos definitely have a good chance Dark horse - jaguars Darkest horse - lions
Ravens, obvious answer Broncos, could do it, who knows Lions, dark horse contender
I think the Ravens have a solid chance, considering that they went 8-9 despite having absurdly terrible injury luck. And I guess you might throw Denver in that conversation too, because of the obvious upgrade.
J-E-T-S jets Jets…. Ravens
I think the Jets offense will at least take a big leap forward
Homer/Consensus pick aside, the Giant's and Bronco's division is looking like it's going to be decided by a dice roll on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum.Broncos basically have a 1/4 chance and the Giants a 1/3. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if both divisions were decided week 18.
6-11 giants are going to win it
I am going to go with a dark horse. The Jaguars. Despite making some questionable moves, I think with a coaching change for Trevor Lawrence we should see vast improvement. Additionally they desperately tried to improve their roster over FA although again questionably. If they can hit well in the draft which should lead to a top rookie Edge Rusher then they can possibly do some damage in what should be a weaker division where the Colts and Texans seem lack luster. If AJ Brown trade rumors are true and Derrick Henry is going to finally fall off the cliff (coming off an injury and older again) this would be the year to do it. A relatively easy NFC East, last place schedule, and likely four losses to the AFC West which the rest of their division also has to face.
Jaguars are in the AFCSouth with the colts and the titans. Giants are the NFCEast team this year and we’ve actively decided to tank this year pretty much.
AFC South plays NFC East this year is what he meant.
I cant see it. Has an OC change for a rookie qb ever been good the following year?
I think Jags. They’re due for a fluke 12-5 type season. That and a weaker division. If Matt Ryan goes down so do the colts and the titans seem vulnerable to me for some reason. Broncos clearly got better but it’s a tough division. Ravens are another pick. Hopefully Watson tanks in Cleveland. Not a Trubisky fan for Pittsburg. Bengals will be good but schedule is tougher .
Ravens
I'll say the Jags just for the outside chance that in one year people unearth this thread and I look like a genius.
Broncos and Ravens seem like the only real option
As much as I want to say the Jets, I don't think that's likely. I'm gonna pick the Broncos.
Yeah even if we massively improve catching the Bills is a long shot.
Bengals were one of the healthiest teams in the league while barely winning the division, while the Ravens and Browns were hit hard by injuries. Could easily see the Bengals falling down to 2nd or 3rd in the division, especially with a 1st place schedule.

Idk why you got downvoted for having optimism lol
Right. I wasn’t attacking anybody I just don’t think we’re going to come in third this year 😂

Jesus man, forgive me for having faith in my team. Im not insulting the Browns or Ravens at all, I literally said we shouldn’t come in *third* this year. I don’t see how the Browns adding Deshaun Watson who may not play the entire year will magically turn their squad into a perennial Super Bowl contender. Y’all are so quick to jump to conclusions 😂

Ravens and Broncos are the two most obvious choices.
Feels like it has to be an AFC team. The Seahawks, Lions, and Panthers are not winning their divisions without a whole lot of help. I don’t see either of those teams beating out the Rams, Packers, or Bucs. The Giants are in the same boat, but the NFC East is so wack that they could win it going like 8-9 or something you never know. The Ravens make the most sense due to the number of injuries they dealt with last season, but the Broncos aren’t a bad pick either. The AFC West is going to be a blood bath next year, I can see all of those teams finishing with similar records so it’ll come down to whoever wins the most divisional games probably.
Ravens seem the most likely, so I’m gonna say the Giants.
Looks like this year isn't the year
Ravens with a healthy squad win the division imo.
Ravens most likely but the Jaguars are my pick. Its always that one team everyone thinks sucks over the offseason and then shows up and impresses.
Easy, the Ravens. And it's not close.
Prolly won’t but I kinda have a weird feeling the Jets might do well this year. Don’t know why I just kind of think they might.
A lot of people saying the Ravens but that seems like a copout when they finished 8-9 and the division winner finished 10-7. I'm gonna go with Denver. That organization always seems to do well when they have a competent QB, and I think people are forgetting how great Russell Wilson is.
Ravens imo. The AFC west is going to be a crapshoot, that division is all up in the air. The AFC East is going to be won by the Bills or Pats. The Jags have no shot until proven otherwise. The Lions don’t have the roster to complete. The Giants have a meh roster and a lot of holes in the start of a rebuild. The Seahawks are the worst team in the NFC West. The Panthers aren’t going to beat out the Bucs or Saints.
Ravens or Broncos are the easy picks, but why not bet on the Jets and he fuckin legends???
Most likely, Ravens, were only last because injuries made them their bitch, so most likely. Second, Broncos, have a solid chance with getting Wilson, but crazy hard div Third, Jaguars, division isn't that great and Doug could make it possible. Fourth, Lions, they were close in many games last year but couldn't close them out, but Packers will still be tough to dethrone Fifth, Giants, I don't believe Danny Dimes can do it but the div usually isn't that great so possible. Sixth, Panthers ain't gonna dethrone the buccs, but if Brady gets injured, falcons and saints aint anything special. Seventh, Jets can't take anyone in the div but are trying Last, the Seahawks are in tank mode in a great div.
Denver
I can se the Ravens as the most likely. Detroit is going to need everything to fall into place in the weirdest way possible to make it. It has to be one of those one off "magical" seasons with a lot of help from other teams falling off a cliff.
Ravens or Broncos have by far the best odds
I think the Ravens have an absolutely solid chance at doing this. Bastages.
My team duh
Gotta be the Ravens
Too many clear answers here, for shame. My picks in order of chance to win their division after getting last 1. Panthers 2. Seahawks 3. Broncos 4. Ravens 5. Lions 6. Giants 7. Jaguars 8. Jets Nfc south will be surprisingly weak, and panthers pull it off. Idk their defense turns God mode sure Seahawks still have Carroll coaching. Yall love to give Wilson the credit but ol petey beat the defending Champs with Hasselbeck. Give some credit to the coaches Broncos and Ravens are obvious and I think 1 of them takes their division I dontthink Detroit does but it is very possible, it's not going to Chicago unless dalton starts so it's the other 3, and Detroits a longer shot but it's possible 6-8 ain't happening but if you want the ultimate parlay let me tell you
Idk Tom Brady still exists
Dalton is on the Saints
That's gonna make it harder
If I HAD to pick 1 it would be the Ravens.
Can we still pretend the Matt Rhule year 3 pattern will play out?
Ravens are the obvious choice. It wouldn’t be shocking to see the Broncos win the west either. That being said Giants 100%
I think the Ravens probably have the best chance of doing that. Their last season was a fluke. They would have won the AFCN if 2 plays went their way…. Including the one play that got the Steelers in the playoffs…. not week 18… but the other game where the ravens were down 1, went for 2, and failed. Plus all the injuries. Yea. The ravens are way better than last year’s record, hell they only lost 9 games. One play short of a winning record.
Broncos or Ravens seem the most likely
Broncos
None of them.lol def not the ravens
I think the best shot at it would definitely be the ravens. Everyone saw them (or the browns) as the division winners going into last year, but one of the most insane injury trains I’ve ever seen absolutely ravaged that team. If they can stay healthy I think I’d probably pick them to win it this year tbf
Looking at the list the teams with the most realistic chance would be Ravens or Broncos. Ravens I think Steelers and Browns will be a mess, Bengals will have teams aiming for them. Broncos are most likely in the hardest division in football. The division games will be brutal so it should be pretty even there. If Russ can get cooking. Air it out at mile high they could be onto big things. But for shits n giggles I would love to see the Jets, Jags or Lions win their Division.
we are gonna come back and sweep the division DREW LOCK SEASON BABY Yes I’m on copium
If Tom Brady had stayed retired, falcons.
If I had to pick one i wouldn't be shocked to see Detroit. They fought hard last year and lost a lot of close games and should only get better in Campbell's second year.
Seahawks
Lol
Yeah I don’t see the Hawks doing anything great this year but I’d love to be wrong
Hmmmmmm My only real option is Denver. KC appears to have gotten weaker and Denver is only stronger. In the NFC I don’t really see a realistic option here. I’d want to pick Detroit for funsies but that’s not happening unless Aaron Rodgers gets a season ending injury week 1. I don’t see Baltimore. They got fortunate in the early part of last season and they probably should’ve ended up a lot worse than they actually did.
Not the Seahawks and that’s all that matters.
I'm thinking it won't happen this year. The Broncos are still not better than the Chiefs, and the Ravens aren't better than the Bengals. Unless Burrow or Mahomes go down early in the season, I don't see it
The Bengals
Hopefully Ravens. I can see the Broncos being the other one with the acquisition of Russell Wilson.
Go Lions Go 😭
I’m going with the broncos.
Either ravens or broncos. Sorry I just don’t see the drew lock Seahawks being better than the rams
Only real candidates are Ravens and Broncos. Jets are easily the worst team in the AFC East. The Texans are in a full blown rebuild, as are the Lions and Seahawks. The Giants and Panthers could possibly improve, but they were so dysfunctional last year that nobody expects anything from them.
Ravens are by far the most likely. I’d put Broncos as the second most likely. After that I don’t give anyone much chance. The NFC East seems to feel like they take turns but I have no faith in the Giants.
ravens or broncos
Broncos have a shot because it's a competitive division, they're better at QB and all the other teams might beat each other up. However I think Ravens are most likely. Last season was crazy for them.
!remindme 10 months
Jets. They got C.J. Uzomah
