Nothing but my gut feeling is that the Panthers take a step backwards this season which means IMO the last 2 standing in the NFC are Green Bay and AZ....although Seattle is a strong possibility as well.
The AFC is way harder to figure out IMO. New England is impossible to predict with the suspension and so many question marks in other key areas. Signing Martellus Bennett may bring them back to the Gronk/Hernandez era of "who needs wide receivers or a running game anyway ?".
Cincy has everything they need to win it all, but again, can they put it all together?
Pittsburgh is getting WAY to much love IMO. Yeah they have the shiny toys on offense but that defense was not very good. Have they improved THAT much?
Denver is the complete opposite. Very mundane and below average on offense but were absolute beasts on D. Just wont win a lot of playoff games with a rookie QB tho. That Osweiler decision is still odd to me.
Oakland is a dark horse to me. They could surprise a lot of people this year.
KC is another one that
could make some noise but history suggest otherwise.
Wide open in the AFC.
