NFL 2023-24 Standings Preview

The NFL season is upon us. With that comes predictions for an exciting new season to look forward to for football fans. Below will be the record predictions for each team corresponding with their division results.

---

AFC

AFC East:

1. Bills (12-5)

2. Jets (10-7)

3. Dolphins (9-8)

4. Patriots (5-12)

We should expect the Bills to replicate their success from the past couple of years, which keeps them in first. After is a race between the Jets and Dolphins ultimately. The Jets should be able to edge out Miami in the end with an exciting roster to come with the new season. I do not see the Patriots having much success this season, and could be looking to go into some sort of rebuild after this season.

AFC West:

1. Chiefs (13-4)

2. Chargers (10-7)

3. Broncos (8-9)

4. Raiders (5-12)

Nothing we haven't seen before in this division with the Chiefs on top. Following them should be the Chargers who will be looking to stay healthy this season and once again reach the playoffs. Denver and Vegas are a toss up as the Broncos should get better this season with new coach Sean Payton. I don't expect too much from the Raiders and see them having an underwhelming season with the roster at hand.

AFC North:

1. Bengals (13-4)

2. Ravens (10-7)

3. Steelers (9-8)

4. Browns (6-11)

This division could look nearly identical to last season as all of the teams are shaping up similarly. The Bengals should top the division with another good looking team that is on a mission. The Ravens and Steelers will be fighting for second, and could come down to the last game of the season. Cleveland could surprise people, but I am not one to deem them as a successful football team this season with another mediocre team.

AFC South:

1. Jaguars (11-6)

2. Titans (6-11)

3. Texans (5-12)

4. Colts (3-14)

Another fairly disappointing season in this division could be in store. The Jags had a surprising success last season and should only get better this season with the young roster. Next is the Titans who I see having a mediocre season once again. The Texans I can actually see getting better this season with their young roster, which is good progress. The Colts could be a terrible football team this season, but at least they have Anthony Richardson.

NFC

NFC East:

1. Eagles (13-4)

2. Cowboys (10-7)

3. Giants (9-8)

4. Commanders (6-11)

Another good showing should be coming for this division with the Eagles at the reigns once again with a great looking roster. The Cowboys and Giants should find success once again and fight for second place this season. The Commanders could be seeing a decline this season despite a promising roster.

NFC West:

1. 49ers (12-5)

2. Seahawks (9-8)

3. Rams (8-9)

4. Cardinals (2-15)

San Fransisco will be leading this division once again after a successful run last season. After them should be the Seahawks and Rams fighting for the second spot. I see Seattle replicating last season for the most part, and Los Angeles getting better after the injuries from last season. The Cardinals could be lucky to pick up one win this season.

NFC North:

1. Vikings (11-6)

2. Lions (10-7)

3. Bears (8-9)

4. Packers (6-11)

This division is somewhat unpredictable with how all of the teams will perform this season. I believe the Vikings to win the division once again, but the Lions will be right behind their trail after a surprise last season. This then leaves Chicago and Green Bay, who are both in weird places. I see the Bears getting much better finally this season, while the Packers start their decline.

NFC South

1. Falcons (9-8)

2. Saints (8-9)

3. Panthers (6-11)

4. Buccaneers (5-12)

This division will most likely be the worst again in the NFC. The good news is there will be a team with a winning record this season, and I believe it to be Atlanta. New Orleans should be following their trail with a quarterback change. Bryce Young should be able to lift the Panthers into better shape, while Tampa Bay will be on the start of their decline.
