With the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants kicking off the 2012 season on Wednesday night, Drew Forrester and I looked into our crystal ball for our predictions on how the NFL division races will look and who will be hoisting the Vince Lombardi trophy in New Orleans on Feb. 3, 2013.
We’ve listed our records for the projected division-winning teams — without scientifically going through the schedule and picking each individual game — and an asterisk (*) denotes the teams earning wild card berths.
