I don't watch enough NFC games to have a prediction. But being a New Englander, I like your AFC list

A few predictions:
1 Kaepernick's narccasistic nature leads to a sophomore slump, along with the sudden lack of wideouts and teammates bashing each other in the head with bottles, and the 49ers take a major step back next year. Plus statistics show that super bowl losers typically slump the next year. Odds are against them. With that in mind, I think they make the playoffs but won't finish against...
2 Seattle, filling that void, and winning the NFC. The addition of Harvin, along with the emmergence of Russle Wilson in the last half of the season with the best QBR in the last 9 games, and the continued success of Lynch and the O line, the Hawks take the next step forward. The D will again be tops in the league as far as points allowed, but will have an improved pass rush with the addition of cliff avril. Clemons returns quickly from his mcl and I see that as the teams most improved position. The secondary remains the best in the league.
3 Super bowl winners Baltimore will make the playoffs, but will not appear in the super bowl again. They lost too many parts in free agency due to lack of cap space.
4 Tom Brady still manages to get the Pats into the post season even without Hernandez, Gronk gone for first 4-6 games presumably, an injury prone Amendola replacing a super productive Welker, and Flyod gone. Pats average 6 points less per game, but still make the playoffs in their week division.
5 My surprise playoff team this season will be...the Dolphins. I think Tannahil takes a step forward with another year, and he was armed with some weapons at wideout in the off season and some protection up front. Another team I think that will be much better this year is KC, but I don't see them making the playoffs.
6 I think the NFC west is the strongest division the next year. The seahwaks and niners on top, and St Louis probably much better this year after stock pilling draft picks from the RG3 trade, and Arizona will only be better with Palmer at the helm.
7 Mark Sanchez gets benched for Geno Smith by...at least week 6. The Jers still suck. Rex Ryan loses his job.
8 Peyton Manning chokes in the playoffs again. Throws a shit ton of picks.
9 Cowboys...same old shit. Romo fails in post season with epic interception(s).
10 Philly goes with Barkley. Vick holds the ball too long for Chip Kelleys liking. They are not much better than last year.
11 Tebow will not be on the Patriots roster come week 1. I don't think this needs to be explained.
That's all I've got for now...

Oh yeah, rg3 either blows his knee out again, or is far less productive because he won't run like he did before. Without rg3 as a run threat, their offense will be far less productive. Plus I don't trust rg3 as a pocket passer, which is what he will need to become in order to save his knee for the future...too bad.

Superbowl losers have typically done quite well the season after. It's the winners who struggle. That said, I don't think that means much of anything.
As far as Kaepernick goes, he's gonna blow people away next year. The raw talent is unbelievable. And he's smart. And he works his ass off. When his mental game catches up with his ridiculous physical skills he will be near impossible to defend.

Are you kidding me? NFL History proves that the Super Bowl loser is not likely to return to the “big show.” In fact, only five Super Bowl losing teams have returned to the game. Two of those five have won. About 30% of Super Bowl losing teams miss the playoffs the following season. However, around 32% make it to the Divisional round and lose. - See more at: http://proplayerinsiders.com/49ers-ilb-duo-patrick-willis-and-navorro-bowman-calls-super-bowl-loss-fuel-to-the-fire/#sthash.EZAhMdDu.dpuf
I can't deny Kaepernick's physical tools, dude is an athelete. But in his limited playing time he already had some clunkers. Both Seattle and Baltimore built a blue print for how to stop Keapernick, the other teams will see that and know how to stop him. he snuck up on the league last year, it won't happen again.

Lol you have the Giants and Bucs in the NFC and not the Seahawks? Wow, you don't really know your football, do you? And the Dolphins? Lol, change that to Cinci.
Five new teams make the playoffs every single season... picking all of the division favorites you saw on ESPN or NFL Network just means you lack originality and know nothing about the history of the NFL. No one expected the Colts, Vikings, or Seahawks to make it last season either.

And I don't think the colts or the Vikings will be there again. I also don't think washington is in the playoffs again either. The seahwaks are stacked as fuck though, on par with the niners. And speaking of nfl history, it states that the Super Bowl losing team is likely to slump the next year. I see the niners stumbling this year. It's an average of five teams a year, meaning sometimes more, sometimes less.

That division will be pretty weak this year.
