NFL 2024 rankings....mine!

[mjg1]

I divide the teams into three tiers, the best/elite, mediocre and below avgerage/bad. Most teams are fall into the average/mediocre, they are up and down thru the season.
Neither consistently good or bad, most of these teams are either moving up or descending to the bottom but still has talent to challenge anyone.
Last year the Ravens and the 49ers were the best teams throughout the year, Ravens fell short in the playoffs again. While the 49ers lost again to the Chiefs in the SB.
So the object is to play well enough to get in the playoffs and hopefully stay healthy, then get hot once in the playoffs.

Tier 1. Best/Elite - these teams will have 10 or more wins.
Ravens - Superbowl or bust.
Chiefs - They just keep rolling along, they drafted some speed at WR for Mahomes.
49ers - Expect the same from last year, just have to win the big one.
Lions - Favorites to win the NFC North again, the defense has been improved.
Dolphins - Elite offense(in warm weather), just need to win in the playoffs.
Eagles - Have too much talent to be mediocre.

Tier 2. Mediocre/Average - these teams can win 10 or more games, but they can also end up with a losing record. Most of these teams should compete for a playoff spot and a winning record, until the very end.
Bills, Jets, Cowboys, Commanders, Bengals,
Browns, Steelers, Packers, Texans, Colts,
Falcons, Saints, Buccaneers, Raiders, Jaguars,
Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks.

Tier 3. Bad/Bottom feeders - these teams have bottomed out or in rebuild mode, more than likely not to have a winning record.
Patriots, Giants, Bears, Vikings
Titans, Panthers, Broncos, Chargers.

* Watch out for the Bears, if Caleb Williams is decent enough in his rookie year. With the talent they have, they could make the jump the Texans did last year.

I agree the Ravens will have 10+ wins, but will never win the SB with Lamar as QB.
Dolphins O-line is a mess and D-line is questionable to. I'm a Dolphins fan and their new centre is brutal. 2-3 bad snaps every practice.

Never say never, they used to say the same thing about Peyton Manning, because he couldn't win a playoff game. I truly believe the Ravens will reach the SB with Lamar sometime in the next few years. Weather they win it, I don't know, will depend on the matchup.

I'm pretty confident about never. Same with Buffalo. Allen seems to fumble more than he should when he runs. He takes off carrying the ball away from his body like a loaf of bread.
Tua, not confident with him either. Mostly because Miami doesn't draft well and the don't seem to take the O-line personnel seriously. Grier doesn't believe in drafting O-lineman high in the draft.

While I agree the o-line is a bit of a mess it was worse last year and they still went 11-6. Mind you that was with a below .500 strength of schedule.
The defense saw quite a bit of turnover and there's a new DC. Losing Wilkins and Van Ginkel will no doubt hurt but they have improved the secondary and the LB corps is pretty solid. The Dolphins have one of the top offenses in the league they only need their defense to be average and to stay relatively healthy.

Lol....the Lions fans here would say "never" as well. We are never going to win the division, we are never going to win a playoff game, now Lions fans are talking, Superbowl or bust.
I really like the Dolphins this year, the Bills seem to be in a slight rebuild mode, the Dolphins should win the AFC East. The Jets with a healthy, but old Rodgers are wildcards.

Very excited to finally see what the Aaron Rodgers can do with the Jets, love or hate him, you can't deny his talent. 1st MNF game is Jets at 49ers, can't wait!

Leonard Floyd was with the Bills when he sacked Aaron Rodgers resulting in Achilles tear during MNF. Leonard is now with 49ers who are playing Jets on MNF

Daffy woke types cringe, Native Americans want their Redskins back.

I hate the name Commanders, I suggested the Washington Cupcakes. They have improved their OL, so have the NY Giants - but that's where the similarity ends.
