    AFC East:

    It's the Dolphins division to lose, think the tank job worked perfectly for them, and they're going to prey on the garbage that is the AFC East.

    AFC North:

    The Ravens are the likely favourites to take over the division, but I think the Steelers defense makes them just as threatening, and the blueprint to handle the one dimensional Ravens is there. Control the pace of the game and they can never catch up. Ravens and Steelers make the postseason.

    AFC South:

    The Titans didn't get worse, and more time with the squad means Tannehill should gel with his team enough to walk through the division. The Texans are collapsing fast, the Colts are trying to rely on an ancient QB but have a decent squad around him, and the Jags are tanking, but are bound to steal a few wins here and there.

    AFC West:

    Chiefs should sweep through the division with ease, The Chargers are all set for another high pick this season, the Raiders are bound to collapse, and the Broncos look poised for a wildcard spot, but seem apt to blow it. At least there's a 7th spot this season.

    NFC East:

    Cowboys are going to crash hard, this will be between the mediocre Eagles, and the Giants (only if Daniel Jones can take a big step forward). Give me the Eagles.

    NFC North:

    Aaron Rodgers may hate his life, but the Packers are still the best team in the division by a wide margin. Vikings should slot into a playoff spot as a wildcard though.

    NFC South:

    The most interesting division since the QB landscape has changed so drastically. Brady is washed, but he can still use that brain of his to eke a few victories the Bucs wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The Falcons are a agent of chaos and will finish between 7-9 wins. Who knows what to expect from the Panthers with Teddy Bridgewater, and we're still waiting for Drew Brees to fall off that cliff. I think the Saints have one last year of success, but they'll fall early in the postseason.

    NFC West:
    This is between the Seahawks and 49ers again, as long as Russell Wilson is Dangeruss. The 49ers have the offensive capacity and stout defense to go toe to toe with every team in the league, they just need to develop a killer instinct to shut teams down. I could see the Cardinals as a potential surprise playoff team with the addition of DeAndre Hopkins. It's not like David Johnson was doing anything for them anymore.

    AFC:
    1. Chiefs
    2. Titans
    3. Ravens
    4. Dolphins
    5. Steelers
    6. Broncos
    7. Colts

    NFC:
    1. Saints
    2. 49ers
    3. Packers
    4. Eagles
    5. Seahawks
    6. Vikings
    7. Falcons

    Wildcard Round:
    Colts > Titans 30-27
    Ravens > Broncos 40-0
    Dolphins > Steelers 22-20
    Seahawks > Eagles 28-20
    Packers > Vikings 17-14 OT
    49ers > Falcons 31-20

    Divisional Round:
    Seahawks > Saints 37-31
    49ers > Packers 40-20
    Ravens > Dolphins 28-12
    Chiefs > Colts 30-27 OT

    Championship Round:
    49ers > Seahawks 24-20
    Chiefs > Ravens 38-28

    Sorry it's been so long since I updated this, I've been sick as a dog lately and completely out of it. I'll be closing the day 1 polls soon, so if you haven't voted in that one yet, be sure to vote in this one. We've got a lot of tough matches here today.

    My choices this time around are.

    1984 49ers > 1992 49ers

    Winning a super bowl is a big plus, but the 1984 squad was dominant on both sides of the ball, going 15-1 and marching their way to a super bowl victory over an incredible Dolphins squad. The 92 squad just didn't have the same intensity on the defensive side of the ball, despite similar stats.

    2017 Eagles > 2019 Chiefs

    This one was a really difficult decision to make. I think Patrick Mahomes is a cheat code unto himself, and pretty much equalizes any disparity there might be between squads. However I think the Eagles defense can really harass him, at least enough for their incredible offense to make serious dents on the Chiefs squad, who only got to face one threat teams in the postseason.

    1971 Cowboys > 1986 Giants

    The very best of the Parcells' Giants teams, they could win without a QB, which is exactly what they needed to do. Joe Morris was a workhorse, and Lawrence Taylor with the rest of that defense went off. unfortunately, the Cowboys defense was incredible too, and Roger Staubach has a higher capacity in tight games than Phil Simms ever had.

    2004 Steelers > 1987 Redskins

    The Redskins won this one on a strike shortened season, so there was a lot of chicanery afoot. I think they were a good squad, but the 04 Steelers were dominant on defense, and had a powerful run game to rely on, while the Redskins got by on their trench play. I think it'd be close, but give me those Steelers.

    Brees being so low is a joke yes. Until he actually fades into dust he should still be top 5 on these sorts of lists. Apparently the ranking is based on contract, age and future value to a franchise. So a talented player who only gives you next year is going to fare worse than a guy who looks poised to give you a decade of good work.

     

    but yes, the real joke is Gardner Minshew is not second on this list.

    Alright, as for my picks:

    The 1975 Cowboys were one of the last teams I put on this list, but their resume is just lacking compared to so many of the others on the list. They barely got into the playoffs, and had a few lucky breaks go their way to make it to the super bowl, before getting handled by the Steelers. On the other hand, the Packers were the best team in the NFC that year, lead by an MVP QB and were close to winning a super bowl, if not for the Terrell Davis show. Give me the Pack here.

    The 1993 Cowboys might have been the best iteration of that dynasty overall. I think if I was seeding based on actual team strength, I'd put them in the top 10. The 2012 49ers were good, but they went to a worse QB to finish out their season and suffered greatly for it. Easy pick here.

    The Colts handled business based on a strong defense and an intelligent QB who was well past his prime, but had the most mental acumen of anyone who had played the game up to that point. They weren't nearly as good as their record would imply they were, and they had an easy road to the super bowl. On the other hand, the 99 Jags beat every team on their schedule except one. The problem is that they played that team three times, and that team had a copy of their offensive playbook. Ask the Dodgers how hard it is to win when the other team is stealing your signals. Give me the Jags here, that team was monstrous with Mark Brunell and those weapons, and that defense was aggressive as hell.

    Lastly the Steelers and Chargers. LT had an MVP season, Shawne Merrimen was a standout on defense, and Philip Rivers immediately stepped into the role of starter and leader. They suffered a tough defeat on a fluky play, but they were easily the best team in the AFC that season. Everything that has happened to them since is karmic justice. The Steelers may have been a 6 seed on paper, but they were still an 11-5 team even with their starting QB missing four games. That defense was oppressive, Willie Parker took his game to another level while the Bus became a short yardage specialist, and Roethlisberger became a larger part of the offense. It's the toughest matchup of the bunch, but I took the Steelers on the strength of that defense.
