Embed from Getty Images   It’s fun to take a prediction at which teams will win each of the eight divisions and which teams represent their respective conference in the Super Bowl.

Embed from Getty Images Earlier this week, the NFL released its final 10 players on its #NFLTop100 list. This is a list that examines the league’s 100 best players heading into the season – as voted on by the other players.
