AFC west should be the the toughest in all the NFL.
If the Chargers can stay healthy, they're gonna have a chance.

I agree although you guys keep saying San Diego. They're going to be playing at the Stubhub Center in Carson (LA). Capacity is 27k. Should be interesting. I'll probably go to a couple games.

Chargers are a sleeper.
Saints are too.
No one expects them to be in playoffs.
That is a sleeper.
Not expected but does, in large part due to the seeded schedule that pits all #1's from last year's and gives all #4 the other worst opponents.
games vs 3's and 4's. Some of that.
Ps. I do not think chargers make playoffs. 0-4 vs kc and raiders.

NFC could be pretty boring this year TBH. There's 4 teams that are head and shoulders above everyone else, Atlanta, GB, Dallas, Seattle. Tampa is the only team I see possibly stepping into that group.
Atlanta just lost the SB in spectacular fashion. They arent sleepers, they might be decent this yer but they are dead as far as SB goes.
Dallas is without Zeke for 6 games and they dont have a as dominant an Oline this year without Ronald Leary. Dak isnt some elite QB. They will regress some.
Did GB fix their Oline?
Seattle isnt the same powerhouse they used to be.
Tampa should win the South. Its all up to Jameis.
If the Saints improve just to an average defense they will be hard to beat.
In the AFC
Miami has a solid team but Cutler at QB.
Pats are the team to beat.
The Bengals will be tough this year and could possibly win the North.
The Titans look to be improving on offense.

This season(and the NFL in general) is boring as frick

Indianapolis and Houston too.
That division so soft.

This Tampa should win the South is fricking mind blowing to me.
The Falcons are heavy favorites to win the division and should be. They have one of the best rosters in the league with a great coach.
They came into last season with no hype (projected to win like 6-8 games) and became one of the elite teams in the league. They showed they could hang with any team. I obviously get this board hates them, but it is no fun when no one's post are even rational.

All 4 teams could win the NFC South, and it wouldn't be surprising.
Atlanta went 11-5 last year, you're acting like they are a lock to win it. That is even more mind-blowing. I'd actually bet the field in this case.

Ehh. It's the NFL. Outside of NE anyone is capable of around a .500 or worse year. I'd expect there to be turnover just like there usually is. Guys get hurt and a couple of wins/losses tend to snowball in pro football more than any other sport.

Giants were 11-5 last season and the Raiders were 12-4. Those teams aren't sleepers.

Tennessee, Carolina, LA Chargers, and Washington.

I know you hate the Falcons with a passion, but look at this example: would you rather take the Packers or the field in their division? They are both heavy favorites. You just only hate one of them. I think both the GB and ATL have over a 50% chance to win their division.
The Falcons were a top 3 team at worst last year. Matt Ryan played like a god. I know you now say that Shanahan is gone, but Ryan is a top 4 QB in the NFL. Yeah, the Saints have that level of QB (and probably a little better), but the Falcons are so much better are virtually every other position.
