NFL Division Record Predictions

There weren’t too many surprises in how Sports Illustrated publishers/editors on 18 NFL sites projected division records and Super Bowl favorites.

For what it’s worth, Indianapolis Colts fans, the AFC South was the tightest division with the Tennessee Titans, Colts, and Houston Texans each receiving six first-place votes. The Titans edged the Colts for No. 1 by virtue of eight second-place votes, two more than the Colts received.

The other division winners were Buffalo, Baltimore, Kansas City, Dallas, Green Bay, New Orleans, and San Francisco.

Kansas City and Baltimore are popular choices as AFC Super Bowl teams. New Orleans earned the most Super Bowl votes in the NFC.

(Rankings for being projected first, second, third, and fourth; the lower the point total, the better.)
