It kinda feels like they do that just to piss you guys off
I definitely see the Chiefs and 49ers right back at the top two spots in 2024, at least to start the season.
While I am glad to see the Lions have the season they did in 2023, it will be interesting to see how they do with the first place schedule they have next season. Campbell's personality may rub some people outside of Michigan the wrong way, but his players and the Lions fan base seem to like him a lot and there's no dismissing what he has been able to do in Detroit.
Green Bay definitely has reason to be excited with Jordon Love's progression in 2023.
The Ravens were very fortunate that Jackson played in all of their games in 2023 (he was held out the last one since it didn't matter), but it remains to be seen if he can play a full season again in 2024.
Buffalo is only there because of the love for Josh Allen, but until he cuts down on the interceptions, it's going to be difficult to see them making a Super Bowl.
After the meltdown the Eagles had toward the end of 2023 and the subsequent internal turmoil, it will be interesting to see what they do over a full season in 2024. With the Moore and Fangio additions in the off-season, the Eagles should be better on both sides of the ball in 2024, so definitely a team to watch.
The Cowboys are setup for a surprise season or a dramatic fall in 2024. Will the defensive players like the drastic personality difference going from Quinn to Zimmer? Will the defensive players be happy with a solid but less aggressive defensive system? Will the Cowboys upgrade their defense enough to fix all of the holes?
Given that no NFC East team has won back-to-back division titles in almost 20 years combined with the Eagles upgrades to their coordinator positions, the odds seem to favor the Eagles for now.
Just like the Lions, the Cleveland Browns were a great story for the NFL in 2023, but they have plenty of questions still with the quarterback position even with Watson returning in 2024.
As for the Rams, they beat a lot of bad or missing-player teams in the last half of 2023 to find their way into the playoffs, but without several upgrades, it will be hard to see them duplicate that in 2024.
