The Los Angeles Rams are also a favorite, they made it to the Super Bowl last year and they have a lot of returning players.
The AFC
The AFC (American Football Conference) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL), the highest professional level of American football in the world. The AFC was created when the NFL merged with its rival, the American Football League (AFL), in 1970.
Since its inception, the AFC has been one of the most successful conferences in NFL history. As of 2018, it has produced 27 Super Bowl champions, more than any other conference. Additionally, ten AFC teams have appeared in at least two Super Bowls and seven have won at least three.
The New England Patriots have been the most successful team in the conference, winning 11 Conference championships, including nine straight from 2001 to 2009, and six Super Bowls all since 2001.
The NFC
In the National Football Conference, the New Orleans Saints are predicted to take first place in the South Division. The Saints have a very good chance of making it to the playoffs this year, as they have one of the best offenses in the league. The Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons are also predicted to do well this season, and they could both make it to the playoffs as well. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not expected to do well this season, as they have a very young team.
