Both of our experts are unusually optimistic about Aaron Rodgers and the Packers this year. |
We're just gonna blow through these quickly - just post our picks for how each division will finish, what each team's record will be, and how the playoff seedings stack up. The heavy analysis as to how and why those things will come about will be in tomorrow's full-season preview. This is just quick and dirty picks. First will be each division's order of finish. The second section will have each team's record (and a pick for each team's respective over/under). The third section will be our top six teams.

Best Bets (picking a team to be two wins or more above or below the listed line, or anywhere we're just "feeling it") will be in bold. In instances where our predicted record is the same as a Vegas line, we will list our pick as leaning in italics. (Because the letters are leaning - get it? Wow. Hilarious.)
