Not saying it can't happen, but based on positioning in the conference I'd say these two are the clear favorites.
Like I said Seattle should be right there with San Francisco, but I don't think they are at their level just yet. Maybe next year, once Wilson gets some more experience under his belt.

I think you should check those divisions. Neither GB or SF will win their division in a walk. The NFC North has 4 good teams that could all be in a playoff spot. the West is also very competitive, with Arizona and St. Louis trending up and backed up with great defenses.
Favorites, perhaps. But a long way from locks

San Fran won't win their division in a walk. They may not even win the division. Seattle has a good shot at winning that division. The week #2 matchup will be huge.
In the AFC, Denver IMO is a step up above everyone else.

Oh I know my divisions. NFC North has three good teams (with major holes in each of them), and one great team in the Packers. Sure their defense is nothing special, but their offense can carry them to many of their wins. The other three teams always end up losing games they should win, and never fail to disappoint when the season is on the line.
As for the West, while some of those teams may be on the upswing the Niners should end up finishing 13-3 or 12-4, and likely none of those teams can match that record.
All this is barring injuries of course, as if Rogers or another elite player goes down that can majorly impact each team.
Not necessarily locks of course, but pretty big favorites.

Jacksonville might be historically bad this year if they think they can play Gabbert at QB.
No question in my mind that the NFC is miles ahead of the AFC this year. I think Miami could be better than people give them credit for. But in the NFC it is going to be hard to win more than 11 games in that conference.

I agree with most of what you're saying. I think the niners win their division as well with Seattle being 2-3 games back in second fighting for a wildcard spot.
I would also agree that consensus wise, the Packers are favorites to win the division. Any team with Aaron rodgers should be favoured, minus maybe an NFL quarterback on Minnesota's roster.
However I don't think the Packers are heavy favourites and will slide in to a playoff spot. the offense is elite and probably as good or just under the talent in Denver on the offensive side of the ball. However the Oline is very weak and the Defense is average at best.
The NFC North will be decided in the last of the weeks I think. should be a fun division

No player does the back shoulder catch better in the league than Nelson.

Two great games after mostly mediocre low scoring games in the morning. Nice!

Nice drive by the 49ers there. Glad the Ravens didn't keep Boldin.

Good start for Jeff Fisher in St. Louis. Wouldn't be that surprised if they take a wild card spot this season. It's unfortunate for them they are in the same division with the Niners and Seahawks.
Edit: Although that means they'd need to finish ahead of Atlanta/Seattle and those NFC North Wild Card teams. That may prove difficult for them.

I hope Joe Flacco enjoys his money cause he will miss his bailout man Boldin. For Anquan it must be nice to run actual routes rather than just running downfield and have to catch jump balls.

Boldin ices it more or less. He was completely insane today. Awesome game to watch, and despite Mcarthy and co doing a better job on that option, Kaepernick still runs it very well

Now time for the dreary Giants/Cowboys game.
Too bad we're always force fed these NFC East game most Sunday or Monday nights. Pretty sick and tired of watching those four teams all the time; not a whole lot to like about any of the teams imo.
