Colin predicts the 2020 season for all divisions in the NFC

Colin Cowherd updates his picks for the 2020 NFL season, finishing up with the NFC. Now that Tom Brady has been added to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, hear where he thinks they may land in the division. Plus, hear what he thinks the season will look like for Drew Brees the New Orleans Saints and Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys

NFC East

On the Cowboys (8-8): "Dallas has a new coach (in Mike McCarthy). They're not going to be bad. They could go 9-7, but I have 8-8."

On the Giants (6-10): "There are some things about the Giants I like. Daniel Jones is better than I thought, Saquon Barkley. They've upgraded the o-line."

On Washington (4-12): "I think they'll be really intense, but again: How bad did Dwayne Haskins need a preseason? ... Devastating for Washington, with a new coach, quarterback with very few starts, no preseason."

Odds to win the NFC East: Cowboys -118, Eagles +140, Giants +900, Washington +1400

NFC North

On the Vikings (11-5): "I think Minnesota's roster is excellent. I think Minnesota's front office is excellent. Mike Zimmer's a little rigid for me on the offensive end, but Kirk Cousins, as much as we bag on him, is pretty proficient."

On the Lions (5-11): "I don't like Detroit like everybody else. A lot of people think Detroit's sneaky."

Odds to win the NFC North: Packers +150, Vikings +160, Bears +375, Lions +800

NFC South

On the Buccaneers (10-6): "Tampa Bay takes about six weeks to get their act together. Really could have used a preseason, didn't have one. My prediction is Tampa's defense will actually be the story the first six weeks of the year."

On the Panthers (7-9): "Carolina 7-9, but fighter's chance they blow somebody's season up."

On the Falcons (6-10): "The Falcons are a bit of a mess. I think they may bail on their head coach who's in a lame-duck year halfway through the season."

Odds to win the NFC South: Buccaneers +137, Saints +175, Falcons +225, Panthers +1100

NFC West

On the Seahawks (10-6): "I had Seattle better than this, pulled back a little bit. Organization that I think is a little top-heavy."

On the Rams (9-7): "Rams are kind of like Seattle to me, some stars, top-heavy, some thin spots. They just don't have the quarterback Seattle does."

On the Cardinals (5-11): "Arizona's a competitive 5-11, but still young and a lot of changes."

Odds to win the NFC West: 49ers +110, Seahawks +225, Rams +350, Cardinals +900
