Let’s predict the NFL season.
Trying to predict the NFL is a fool’s errand. The endless variables in football mean that until we see team run real plays against real defenses it’s difficult to even garner much information from the preseason.
That said, we have some feelings on how we think this season will end up when the dust settles. Here is how we think the divisions, conferences, Super Bowl and the major awards will end.
Here are our consensus and favorite picks for the 2024 NFL season.
