As the sports world waits impatiently for COVID-19 to ease, the thought running through everyone’s mind is not when sports will return, but how it will actually operate when it does.

We could see the NFC West become an even more tightly contested division next season.

Next season, the NFC South will quickly become one of the most popular divisions.

The NFC North is a division where the favorite is hard to pin down. There’s of course the Packers, who were really good last year and didn’t lose much in the offseason. I think it probably has the best odds to win again but I’m not completely convinced.

The NFC East is a two-legged race right now. I don’t see either the Redskins or the Giants contending for at least another season. The two teams are both going through rebuilds, with the Giants more poised to foster a competitive roster in the coming seasons.

Kansas City Chiefs have a complete foothold over the AFC West, and I don't see that changing for at least another season. Patrick Mahomes is arguably the best quarterback in the league and has All-Pro talent surrounding him on offense with the likes of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce.

The AFC South could easily be one of the most contested divisions next year. Only one team seems to be likely written out and that's the Jaguars — unless Gardner Minshew shows up next year — and in a big way.

Last year the AFC North was a one team show, with the Ravens running away with the division and finishing with the NFL’s best regular season record.

The AFC East is as open of a division as it gets with only one team cementing itself as a favorite to win the division coming in the form of the Bills. The other teams are filled with question marks which isn’t a particularly bad thing.
