A few things I wanted to point out. When doing a playoff prediction, you need to make a conscious effort to add in teams that did not make the playoffs the year before. This always happen. Just last year we had 7 teams make the playoffs that did not make it the year before; Giants, Vikings, Seahawks, Jaguars, Dolphins, Ravens, Chargers all broke through.
With that said, I only have 4 teams making it that missed last year’s postseason. That may not be enough.
Division Winners

Seahawks
Packers

Dolphins

Some takeaways:
I wanted to pick Carolina to win the NFC West, but after watching some preseason action, they can't protect Bryce Young enough, so the Saints will pull away with the division.
I have the Seahawks being a really good team and a problem for most of the NFC. Their offense is really good.
The Packers coach and QB have a lot to prove with Aaron Rodgers gone. I think this year they actually grab the 7th seed on the final week.
Baltimore’s offense will be hard to keep up with. Keep an eye on Lamar Jackson, OBJ and rookie Zay Flowers.
Lastly, I really like the Jets schedule and I really like the Dolphins period. Throw in the Bills and the AFC East will be the toughest division in football.
My 49ers are going to be so good this year. I have them finishing with the best record in the NFC. There I said it.
