Just comparing to what the talking heads i listen to/read are saying:

Teams I like better than most:

Carolina. Offense should be exciting, Bryce took a step forward after that brief benching last year. Defense still blows, but I don't think they are significantly worse than ATL or even Tampa.

Minnesota. My team, so grain of salt and everything. But if JJ is just basically equal to Darnold (who was not as good as casuals think) last year, should be a playoff team. Both sides of trenches greatly improved.

Dallas. A fringe top 10 offense and perfectly average defense assuming Parsons signs. The Jerry Jones circus is again all anyone seems to talk about, and the team itself kind of an afterthought in the division. Can easily see them finishing better than Washington.

Jets. Defense should be back to 2023 levels, whole unit seemed to quit once the firings began last year. Fields can steal some games with his legs.

Would include Pats but basically Daly covered it, and they are getting hype now.

Teams I like less than most:

Honestly, the entire NFC West. Everyone throws out "season from hell" for Niners, but I don't see them rebounding to 2023 anytime soon. I don't believe in Seattle's offense at all. Rams have a late 30's QB with lingering back problems....not inspiring. Arizona is Arizona....they might fucking win the division, who knows. Division schedule is "easy" on paper....but I could easily see one of those finishes where the teams are 9-8, 9-8, 8-9, 8-9.

Pittsburgh. reasons said already by Druff

Washington. Just regression.

Chicago. Yearly Bears hype for something new (coach again) with an inevitable 6-11 finish to come. Worst "revamp" of an OLine ever. Thuney got destroyed in the SB, Jackson was benched by the Rams.
