It’s almost that time of the year again! Football season is upon us, and I’m sure you already know what that means – the NFL divisions are taking over the sports world. This is the moment when all true football fans come alive!
The NFL is divided into two conferences: The NFC and the AFC. These are further broken down into four divisions consisting of 16 teams. That means there’s a total of eight divisions in the NFL. And, what fun would it be without some friendly competition?
I’ll start by talking about the AFC East division. This division is home to some of the biggest teams in the NFL including the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins, and the New York Jets. Each team plays one another twice a season for a total of 16 games with the top two teams advancing to the playoffs. The team that ends up with the best record is crowned champion of the division and that’s how it’s been since the league was founded.
Moving on to the AFC West, teams in this division include the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Oakland Raiders. This is always an entertaining division to watch because the teams are so close talent-wise. This division is usually a lot of fun to watch because it’s always back and forth. Which team will reign supreme?
Next on the list is the NFC East. There are the divisions powerhouse teams like the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins, and the New York Giants. This division has had some of the most heated rivalries in the NFL over the years, and they just keep getting better. It’s a guaranteed showdown when these teams go head to head in the regular season.
The NFC North is probably the most unpredictable division because of the variety of different teams. You have the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions, and the Chicago Bears. This division is probably the most balanced in terms of talent, which makes it a pretty exciting division to watch.
The final division I want to talk about is the NFC South. Here, you have some of the best teams in the league in the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This division is always super competitive because all of the teams are solid and competitive.
So, that’s it for today. I think it’s fair to say that each division in the NFL is compelling in its own way. Which division do you think is the most exciting to watch?
