Yesterday, on GMF the hosts each took a turn predicting who would win each division and who would make the playoffs. Let's give it a try.
Rules: Pick your Division winners and the three other teams you think will make it this year. Explanations are optional.
AFC
East - Bills
North - Cincinnati
South - Tennesee
West - Kansas City
Wildcards - LA Chargers, Miami, Pittsburgh
NFC
East - Philadelphia
North - Minnesota
South - Atlanta
West - San Francisco
Wildcards - Seattle, Detroit, Dallas
Some notes: I'm not buying the hype of the Jets or Lions, but the Lions are in a weak division, so I think they still back in as a WC. And I hope the Jets gloriously flame out--that would be so fun to watch. Jacksonville is a darling now, but Tennessee is always there--they never win in the playoffs, but they always seem to get there. I'm a Mike Tomlin fan, and I believe he brings the Steelers back. I found it hard to leave the Ravens out, but I have no confidence in Lamar over an entire season. Atlanta is my surprise pick. I don't know, but it seems that Division is wide open.
