AFC East

Winner: New England Patriots

Every year it seems as if the AFC East is decided before the season begins. How can you deny the Patriots? The Brady, Belichick combo has yet to let any of us down. When you have Tom Brady leading your offense, you are always in great position to win your division. Lets not forget about Gronk, by far the best tight end in the league only helping Brady dominate this division. The Pats defense led by Jaime Collins and Dont'a Hightower is also nothing short of awesome. You can expect the Jets to push for a wildcard spot and be easily the second best team in this division. They will give the Pats fits, but New England ultimately comes out with this division. They could very well be on their way to another Super Bowl.

AFC North

Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers

While this division has the potential to be close at the end of the year, expect the Steelers to steal it away from the Bengals. When you talk Steelers, you talk offense. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell may be the best players at their positions in the entire league and they wear the same jersey on Sundays. Both who are in an offense led by "Big" Ben Roethlisberger, a lock for the hall of fame. This offense is ridiculous to say the least. It is time for Mike Tomlin to finally take control of this division, as they have only won it once in the last five years. The Bengals will be the strongest contender under Pittsburgh to take the division, and do not be shocked if Cincinnati ends up claiming another AFC North title when its all said and done. However, Pittsburgh is too stacked to give this division up again.

AFC South

Winner: Houston Texans

Coming into the 2016 regular season, the Texans have many new faces. The additions of Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller are huge for this Texans squad that has been longing for stability in their offense. Combined with Deandre Hopkins and rookie phenom Will Fuller this offense is on track for success. The Texans defense is one of the top in the league led by J.J. Watt, whom you might've heard of. All Osweiler needs to do for this team to be successful is limit the turnovers and keep this defense off the field as much as possible. Houston fans better hope that is the least he can do, as he is after all the 72 million dollar man. The Colts have the best player in this division in Andrew Luck, and its not close. However, even Luck can't overcome the incompetence of a front office who have proved that they cannot build a capable defense or offensive line. Jacksonville is also a team in this division that is sparking interest, and they are on the rise. Expect the Texans to come out with this division by winning close games that are held together by their defense.

AFC West

Winner: Oakland Raiders

This team is coming and the rest of the league needs to prepare for it. Derek Carr is in the next group of special quarterbacks set to take the league by storm. His potential in an offense with Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, and Latavius Murray is through the roof. On the other side of the ball, the defense is loaded with potential. With star Khalil Mack leading the way, they have young corners combined with veteran linebackers to complete the unit. However this division is going to be tough for this young team to win as they have to fend off the defending super bowl champions. The Broncos defense is widely recognized as the best in the league just as it was last year. However, you can expect the Broncos to lose some of the close games that they won last year due to the lack of quarterback play. Also some of the luck the Broncos struck last season is set to swing back the other way. The Chiefs will also be a force to be reckoned with in this division as well, as their defense is also among the best in the league. It is going to be a long season full of tough, close games, but the Raiders have the personnel to win the division.

NFC

NFC East

Winner: New York Giants

This division has the potential to be loaded with surprises. If Dak Prescott and the Cowboys can hold up until Tony Romo makes it back they could be in contention to win the division. Do not count out Kirk Cousins and his crazy efficiency to lead Washington to another division title. However, the Giants will come out on top. Eli accompanied by a plethora of playmakers in this Giant offense will be to much for opposing defenses. Odell Beckham Jr. may be too much alone, not to mention the return of Victor Cruz and the start of highly respected rookie Sterling Shepard's career. They will all be running wild while Eli will not shy away from slinging the ball all over the field. They also went into free agency and bought themselves very solid defensive pieces. The additions of Janoris Jenkins and Olivier Vernon will add to a solid unit on the other side of their high powered offense. The Giants while rise, from what seems to be the mosh pit of teams in the NFC East, to win the division.

NFC North

Winner: Green Bay Packers

This one was fairly simple. Once Aaron Rodgers and the Packers find their rhythm they will be one of the league's best. The return of Jordy Nelson, and Eddie Lacy eating way less cupcakes, should help Rodgers open up the offense and be right back to being in dominant form. With all of the weapons back in this Green Bay offense, Rodgers will be in contention for the MVP. The Vikings are however set up for a nice year, but will be missing Teddy Bridgewater and desperately hoping that Sam Bradford works out for them. Do not sleep on the Vikings defense as they are easily one of the league's best. They deserved to be in the same conversation with Carolina and Denver. However the Packers have a real shot at the Super Bowl this year. The division title may just be something they grab along the way.

NFC South

Winner: Carolina Panthers

This division was almost considered locked up before it started. The Carolina Panthers by far are the best and most complete team in this division, and possibly the league. Cam, being the defending MVP, is leading an offense that seemingly only one team in the league has figured out how to stop. They also of course have one of the best defenses in the league, lead by the best linebacker in the league, Luke Kuechly. The Saints and Falcons both have capable offenses, and very incapable defenses. Tampa Bay may be on the rise with Jameis Winston at the wheel but are still a work in progress. Carolina remains a force to be reckoned with. We may very well see a scenario where they are playing late into the season once again.

NFC West

Winner: Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks and Cardinals will battle for this division all year in a heavyweight fight. If Russell Wilson can get healthy and overcome their lackluster offensive line, they will come out on top. The public is sleeping on a Seattle defense, that is only a few ticks down from their Super Bowl winning defense of a few years ago. They are still filled will playmakers and young talent. The retiring of Marshawn Lynch will show how great Russell Wilson can be. He is among the most elite quarterback talent in the league and will shine this season. Russ has also found his favorite target in Doug Baldwin, and the two have shown to be an elite connection. The Cardinals however are also in position for a monster year. Lead by Carson Palmer, who tied for second in MVP voting last season, this offense is as explosive as they come. The emergence of workhorse running back David Johnson make this offense scary. The Cardinal defensive unit hold their own as well. This division is a toss up. Do not be surprised if either of these teams snatch it at the end of the year.
