2024 NFC Predictions (Plus Super Bowl Pick)

NFC East

  1. Philadelphia Eagles (3 Seed)
  2. Dallas Cowboys (7 Seed)
  3. Washington Commanders
  4. New York Giants

The Eagles are the clear cut favorite to win the division. They have a more talented roster and the Cowboys have had way too much drama this offseason and it still isn’t over yet. The Commanders are getting some hype that I’m not buying at all. The Giants are in rebuild mode and may get the #1 pick.

NFC North

  1. Detroit Lions (2 Seed)
  2. Green Bay Packers (6 Seed)
  3. Chicago Bears
  4. Minnesota Vikings

This division got competitive fast. I wouldn’t be surprised if any of these teams made the playoffs. The Lions have the most talented and experienced team so they get the edge for me. The Packers have such a talented young roster and will get a Wild Card. The Bears are still a year away from making it to the playoffs and contending for the division. The Vikings won’t have the QB play to go with such a great roster and coach.

NFC South

  1. Atlanta Falcons (4 Seed)
  2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  3. New Orleans Saints
  4. Carolina Panthers

This is the worst division in football. Kirk Cousins is a great regular season QB and has talented young roster just like in Minnesota. That should be enough to win it the division. Tampa could contend, but they are getting old. The Saints are old like the Bucs, but with less talent. The Panthers have no shot.

NFC West

  1. San Francisco 49ers (1 Seed)
  2. Los Angeles Rams (5 Seed)
  3. Seattle Seahawks
  4. Arizona Cardinals

The 49ers have the best roster in the league and now have the Aiyuk situation figured out. They need to win this year before they have to start paying Purdy so there’s urgency. The Rams have the ideal mix of a great offensive head coach, a great veteran QB who has won a Super Bowl, and a talented group of young players. They will just miss out on the division. The Seahawks will be very average. The Cardinals have hope and talent, but it is too soon for them.

NFC Playoffs

Wild Card Round

  • 1 SF: Bye
  • 2 DET vs 7 DAL: 2 DET Wins
  • 3 PHL vs 6 GB: 6 GB Wins
  • 4 ATL vs 5 LAR: 5 LAR Wins

Divisional Round

  • 1 SF vs 6 GB: 1 SF Wins
  • 2 DET vs 5 LAR: 5 LAR wins

NFC Championship Game

  • 1 SF vs 5 LAR: LAR Wins NFC

Final NFC Thoughts: 

The NFC is by far the more inferior conference. That being said, there are some young teams with a ton of talent and potential that could emerge this year. I think the Rams come out on top and make it to the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl LIX

LAR vs CIN: CIN wins the Super Bowl

For the 2nd year in a row, there will be a recent rematch in the Super Bowl – but with two different teams. I think Cincinnati gets revenge from Super Bowl LVI and bring Cincinnati their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
