FOX Sports has released its NFL record predictions for the upcoming 2024 season, but most fans aren’t feeling it.
Given the notable changes around the league, as well as the incoming rookie class, the inbound campaign is expected to be one of the most exciting ever. If nothing else, it will be interesting.
As such, the network has made some intriguing predictions.
The Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, and Kansas City Chiefs are tipped to dominate the AFC and top their divisions. In the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, and San Francisco 49ers are expected to be the divisional winners.
The outlook isn’t great for teams like the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and Las Vegas Raiders. The Pats won four games last season but are predicted to have a worse campaign in the post-Bill Belichick era despite drafting Drake Maye.
The Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers will both win five games, According to FOX.

If FOX is to be believed, the Bengals and Niners will have the best records in the league in 2024.
Fans Aren’t Rocking With FOX’s NFL Record Predictions
As noted above, fans mostly disagree.
“I really don’t understand how these “professionals” think Joe Burrow is going to fix all of the Bengals issues,” one wrote “Their defense is abysmal and they’re nowhere near the team they were in 2021.”
Another one tallied up all the records to come up with the following: “Total record for all teams 288-256. Seems legit.”
“That’s hilarious,” someone replied. “Does @FOXSports know the records need to add up to .500 (272-272)?”
Of course, only time will tell, as is always the case with such things. But it appears there’s not much belief in Russell Wilson ahead of what should be a make-or-break campaign for the veteran quarterback.
