The NFL season is just around the corner, with everyone having their own takes about how exactly the season will shake out.

For many sports fans, football season is the best time of year: you can don your favourite team’s jersey, invite a bunch of friends over to watch the game, and share your own takes about everything from the best chicken wing flavour to who will win on any given day.

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the season as defending Super Bowl champions and are widely considered to be one of the top teams in the NFL once again.

But what do the oddsmakers think?

Well, according to Bet MGM, the Eagles are one of four teams projected to have a win total of 11.5 this year, meaning there are similar odds that they’ll finish with either 11 or 12 wins this year, among the best in the NFL.

Taking these numbers into account, we’ve ranked each conference and division to figure out who oddsmakers think are the 14 playoff teams aiming for the Super Bowl come wintertime.

Note: all ties are broken in this case merely by alphabetical order, rather than the NFL’s actual tiebreaking rules or any judgments about the teams.
