Today, I take the current NFL divisions and reshape them to actually make sense. Who would make the playoffs with their current records in a realigned division setup for the NFL? Find out here!

raiders and niners should never happen often, the fans actually are insanely violent when it comes to their games
Atleast there would always be a sell out crowd
@@Deansworldyt The problem would be the gang fighting
Good
@@mohammaddoesit the security will make Aton of money
I live in Cali I hate both teams (especially SF) There would be major problems. Maybe later on down the line it wouldn’t matter but yeah. However, the rivalry itself would be entertaining
Actually insane how this predicted the conference championships
Edit: WTH IS HAPPENING!?!?
INSANEEE
ya waaaaat
Can't wait for Burrow to face off against Hurts in the Eastern Conference championship in a few days. Totally insane
It’s funny the conference championship teams is exactly the it’s just an opponent swap
means we'll see an eagles and cheifs super bowl
Crazy how it actually predicted the Super Bowl and maybe the winner aswell?
He did lol what the heck
The NFL script writers must have watched this video before planning who would go to the super bowl and how it would play out
And the final 4
I love how 1 month ago or so you made this video and now the same four teams that made the conference finals actually did make it in real life 💯💯💯
And Super Bowl
I would rename the Central to the Southwest. Other than that, nice job!
I was considering southwest but felt it was a little weird cause it went from California to Texas so I stuck to central, but thanks of course!
Vegas and Chargers should be swapped.
@@Deansworldyt personally, on top of changing it to southwest, i would've swapped the raiders and chargers here, so both la teams could be in the same division
@@Deansworldyt to be fair, Texas is still a part of the Southwest region
@@Deansworldyt - Once again, your lack of knowledge shows, if you think L.A. is more "Central" than Texas is "Southwest"!
Crazy part is that the score differentials in the conference championships/Super Bowl weren’t too far off either
I like it. Preserving the rivalries is the tough part. Maybe 6 division games, 3 rivalry games, 4 games vs a select rotating division and 4 games based on schedule.
That's honestly a great idea
As a Dolphins fan I like it but like i I said I’d prefer us in the Southeast Division but most likely the Jaguars will probably relocate to another city so it would be Dolphins Buccaneers Falcons and Panthers would the Dolphins move to the NFC or will the Buccaneers Falcons and Panthers would come to the AFC? Either way the NFL has to tweak the divisions and soon they gotta get it right so it can make sense geographically
@@dorianthemenace It would be a horrible idea because rivalries would suffer.
Crazy how it actually predicted most of this years playoffs including the SB matchup
And the final 4 teams
And the SB champion
NFC North definitely makes the most sense. All teams are very close
100%. Then then the Great Lakes can be the Midwest. Two of the teams in the Great Lakes arent on the Great Lakes, but two in the Midwest are!
It's probably why a lot of the other divisions don't make sense to me lol
AFC North too. It makes more sense currently than this realignment. Pittsburgh is only two hours drive from Cleveland and fourish from both Baltimore and Cincinnati. The furthest distance is an 8 hour drive between Cincy and Baltimore. Obviously all the teams are flying a lot but Buffalo is kind of remote, it makes more sense for them to be in his Great Lakes Division.
Miss Tampa they were our fifth team despite thier early struggles by thier fourth season they made nfc championship game. Wish we could get Tampa or Dallas in NFC North Dallas has had good rivalry with Vikings since the 70s they met often in postseason whoever won was SB bound. Both teams made frequent appearances in that game only one time through the decade wAshington did a outside team make sb. Later pokes built up one with packers.. the nfc north is only division where the chief rival for every team is the bears. Wonder who chief rival for bears? Just a thought. Can be outside of division they had a heated rivalry with Duluth Eskimos/Washington redskins now commanders. Vikings tried to do an alternative Eskimo uniform nfl stopped them saying trademark belong to Washington. When they folded they were sold and turned out to be redskins upon deeper research. Loved the Eskimos uniform my grandfather had an original uniform in glass. If not the Bucs or Dallas would be Denver if we’re going by proximity.
Yep. For a long time they were the only division that really made sense.
Honestly, I would keep the AFC and the NFC. I would just switch a couple teams around for instance, I would put the Cowboys in the NFC south and the Panthers in the NFC East to make it make sense. I would also switch the Colts and the Dolphins between the AFC South and the AFC East.
I agree. Thats a move thats possible and smart to to the geography. It also doesnt screw up the division
@@Guardian-io7kl
Plus , with the Fins and Jags in the same division, a rivalry could develop between the two teams.
Overall agree, but HARD NO to Cowboys coming to NFC South, we don't want em
@@youarein1ov3 NGL a Cowboys/Saints rivalry does sound pretty cool.
@@tjz3158 No Falcons Saints is the rivalry, and none of us will win much with the Cowboys around
If the real life Super Bowl ends like this I’m going to be absolutely crazy
guess what happened buddy
I love how it ended with an irl superbowl matchup and a Kelce v Kelce game
Eagles aren’t going to the Super bowl 💀😭 you’re funny
@@theweekndSuxArse why not?
@@theweekndSuxArse depends on what the script says.
@@kylebourbeau4851 so every player is in on the script?
@@TheLirJEt86 no they script the playoffs and superbowl. Perfect for betting and maximizing profits.
I don't hate it. I've done "realignment though exercises" with friends before. Seattle ALWAYS messes it up because there's no other team anywhere near them, lol! Thanks for a fun video.
Same with Denver
All you need is the dolphins and the colts to swap- and the cowboys and panthers to swap and most of the divisions will make sense without destroying rivalries
yea but sadly the nfc east is the most iconic division in football tbh i don’t think it could ever be split up. as a cowboys fan, i’d miss our free wins to the giants and commanders every other yead
@@NikTheHill7 ….Really? I agree with you on the iconic but the other reason is a terrible reason to stay in your division. Also funny how you didn’t mention the Eagles.😂
I've always wanted this as a Dolphins fan. The ONLY reason we are still in the east is because of the Buffalo Rivalry. But we could keep that as a guaranteed game every year like the chargers. Dolphins should be in the south.
@@pheonox14 - Actually, I think New England and the Jets are bigger rivals of the Dolphins than bleeping BUFFALO! But I can certainly understand why Miami MIGHT give a shit about them due to Marino vs. Kelly from back in the day. Otherwise, only the Toronto/Hamilton metro actually gives a crap about the icehole known as Buffalo in pro sports, and even then, the rivalries with metros like Boston, New York, Montreal, Detroit and Ottawa are bigger. Too bad for the Bills that the Argonauts and especially the Tiger-Cats play in the CFL (remember that exhibition game the Ti-Cats won when the Bills were still new in the early 1960's?).
@@NikTheHill7 - The only reason it's "iconic", is because of how NOTORIOUS a franchise the Cowboys are that the northeast metros are willing to make an acceptation of having a Texas team in their division. Tell me, how big is the Rangers "rivalries" with the Yankees, Orioles, and Red Sox; the Mavericks "rivalries" with the Knicks, 76ers, and Wizards; and the Stars "rivalries" with the Rangers, Flyers, and Capitals?
Remember, your original GM, Tex Schramm was a master POLITICIAN that managed to successfully get the Cowboys into the East in 1961 (after playing in the West in 1960), and has been there ever since. His successor, Jerry Jones is "meet the new boss, same as the old".
Personally, I'd like to know, which *longshot* scenario is more likelier to happen? Dallas moving to another division, or Dallas relocates to a northeast city like Hartford or Quebec?
As a Niners fan, your pacific division is an emotional roller coaster and I love it. Each of those teams are huge rivals to the Niners. And your Midwest division would be so fun in the present moment. Watching Mahomes have to face Cousins and Rodgers twice a year would be good TV
The Pacific would be the new NFC East where all the teams really don't like each other but they all HATE that one team that was good in the 80s/90s...
It’s scary how accurate this is
My Niners lose in the playoffs to the eventual champion for something like the 7th time in the last 11 seasons, good to see Madden has some accuracy
Fun Concept! As a Niners fan, I would switch the Chargers and Raiders. Raiders may be in Las Vegas now, but the Oakland roots run deep and so is the SF-Oakland rivalry.
Having 2 games per season with guaranteed gang-related activity is never a good idea.
@@georgec5212 "What type of people can’t not kill each other over a football game?" The same group of people that make up 13% of the united states population but commit 58% of all violent crime
@@holocade4908 Say what you really want to say don’t mince words.
@@gurulaghima4272 black people
@@holocade4908apparently you’ve never watched European soccer. The fans are extremely violent.
@Holo Cade Yes!!! there we go how that feel? You feel relieved Holo cade them "blacks" always causing trouble.
That Northeast Division would probably be hella toxic, 2 match ups a year between Philly and NE. There would be a soccer level riot happening at every game.
And the Red Sox and Phillies in baseball will now be playing each other every year now!
Sounds like fun!
Its funny i came across this video. I made a realignment scenario a couple of months ago. I have everything the same except for swapping Buffalo and Philly in the NFC and Raiders /Chargers switching in the AFC. Awesome video man keep it up!
the bills v bengals game was so darn accurate
There are NFL rules preventing the Steelers, Browns, and Bengals from being in different divisions. They all must be in the same division regardless of any alignment changes.
What rule is that?
@@calebkent6706 I don't remember the name, but I do remember that it was put in place after the first Browns team moved to Baltimore in 1996.
Finally someone else who wondered this!! Thank you for the video lol
As a Bengals fan, I HEAVILY endorse this realignment!!!!!
Lions fan here and I second this!
@@JRKudlick77 Would be a fruitful switch for the Lions in the short term
The bengals, lions, and browns all look like they have bright futures. I think the Colts would be dead
@@KevinLoveFan739 as a Colts fan I second this, at least our division right now isn't too much competition
Fun video, with an interesting concept. As a Chiefs' fan I definitely approve of the final result of the simulation.
Why only 14 games
for the Greatlakes div i would've made it Lions Bills Browns for the last one ether Chicago or GB, but i see how that could throw off other div alignments so probably do PIT and the "Atlantic" would change names and be Cincy, Indy, WAS and BAL
With Pittsburgh you could just call it The lake Erie division, since at one time Pittsburgh was connected to the lake by a canal.
Creative ideas and exciting conclusion. Got my like, comment, and sub! Nicely done!
Nice video. Can definitely tell you put a lot of time into this. Great work
I remember before the last alignment was announced in 2002, there was speculation about what would be done. I found someone who suggested aligning based on team names:
Human race conference:
Working man’s division:
Steelers
Packers
49ers
Chargers
Inflict destruction division:
Jets
Vikings
Raiders
Buccaneers
Standing (too?) tall division:
Giants
Titans
Patriots
Saints
Cowboys and Indians division:
Cowboys
Texans
Chiefs
Commanders (made more sense with their former name)
Animal Kingdom conference:
Cat fight division:
Lions
Jaguars
Bengals
Panthers
Birds of Prey division:
Eagles
Ravens
Cardinals
Falcons
Hoofs division:
Broncos
Rams
Colts
Bills
Land Air and Sea division:
Seahawks
Browns
Bears
Dolphins
lol fun
Youre allowed to say Redskins
@@jakeozzy4776You're allowed to say whatever you want. Reveals a lot about you when you do, though
Hooves. Besides that lol, clever idea.
Fuck yeah. We’re the team of the WORKING MAN!
love this....maybe do this again after the season finishes? :)
I love this format.
I've always thought the same thing about the NFL! Thanks for making this vid
Great vid loved it ❤
Crazy how you still managed to get the actual Final Four this year
Love reordering the divisions in football videogames. An easy one to do this in for quick results is Retro Bowl
Crazy coincidence you flip the Niners and Bengals here and you get the actual IRL matchups this year.
They're the *Las Vegas* Raiders, not the _Reno_ Raiders. This mistake makes Arizona and Colorado travel _further_ than they would if the 2 LA teams were in the same division. You may also want to check Dallas's position but I don't think that that affects much.
I think you put the raiders a little too high in Nevada they should be further south
@@thelongestyoutubechannelev6433 - Donald Marco was NOT the one who uploaded this vid!
49ers and raiders twice a year every year would be insane
At least 10 people will go to the hospital
Amazing video man, congrats🎉
This was dope homie
Very very cool
A Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl would be pretty lit. Both teams are a ton of fun to watch, objectively. They both have the Andy Reid connection and the Kelce brothers. Mama Kelce in the stands with one of those jerseys that's a combination of her 2 Player sons.
Is she wearing #82 or #67? (Jason Kelse wears #62 for the Eagles and Travis wears #87 for the Chiefs)
She'll wear 74.5 and have a half green half red jersey on. Itll be even
Almost so accurate that this could be a reality of the Chiefs and Eagles possibly facing off each other in Super Bowl LVII.
Btw, never say never if when the NFL decides to realign teams in the future.
The most unrealistic part was when we blew out the Chargers. Those games are always close and fun.
Bills niners would be more realistic
Pretty interesting. Nice work
Thanks for that. As a new NFL fan, this makes more sense to me.
Fun fact: The AFC North cannot break apart legally. They all must be together. You can thank Art Modell for that.
Link or info? This sounds interesting
Actually, Baltimore could have escaped the division without penalty in 2002, only problem is, Cleveland was not going to let them off the hook; and they definitely took advantage of the proximity between Pittsburgh and Baltimore too, to get the Rooney's on their side.
This is literally what it looks like this year just switched San Francisco 49ers are playing the Eagles and the Bengals are playing Kansas
You mean bengals??
Awesome video ideas!
Awsome video keep up the awsome work
This was a neat idea man. I loved this video. Keep up the good work I hope your channel grows big man!
What are the odds of the final 4 being 100% spot on 😳 chiefs & eagles Super Bowl matchup ?? I guess we’ll find out next Sunday
this was actually really interesting
Great video man
Funny how it came down to the actual final 4 teams this season
the cowboys and texans should be in the same divison, we already hate each other due to instate rivalry, so it would be great to play each other twice a year
That would be awesome
"The Cowboys lose at home in the playoffs: nothing new here" - three syllables short of a Haiku, still plenty poetic
Ironically, Philly-KC could still be the SB matchup this year lol
It would be a good game. Except the media would be insufferable, constantly droning on about Andy Reid facing his old team.
There could be a philly cowboys sb which would be fun
As a ravens fan I would love to see a 2 matchups with the bills every year
That matchup wouldn't be good for the ravens just sayin
I didnt realize Ravens fans were masochists.
@@ii-kingfancy-ll3915 did u forget ravens were kicking bills ass this year
Steelers fan the Ravens railvary with us is very historic so many memories so glad they put us in the same group
I actually have thought about it. Many...many times. Feels fcckn amazing knowing I'm not alone.
Absolute W video, you're blowing up in 2023
NFL 2K5 actually let you realign the NFL, it'd be fun to see a video in there with these divisions
I'd love if Madden or some other NFL game would let us have owner votes on things like realignments, new teams, rule changes, etc.
There are many other sports games out there that allow for some form of regulation changes in their off-seasons.
Please watch my upload of espn nfl 2k5 gameplay. And tell your friends to do the same ❤️
Great thought experiment! Instead of reinventing the wheel, I would have Dallas n Carolina swap. That alone fixes NFC. As for AFC… Dolphins joins South, Colts joins north, and Ravens joins East. Keeps consistency n allows for closer teams.
Such a cool idea wow
As a cowboys fan unfortunately in Colorado I like this
steelers and commanders in the same division would be crazy
I'm going to do this in Retro Bowl and see how it goes
Nice video! I would’ve swapped the Raiders and Chargers since the Chargers are actually on the Pacific. And you also paired the New York teams so pairing the LA teams would make sense as well
This just makes sense.
Bro predicted the Super Bowl match up in a division realignment video 😭
You cant use the old division wins to decide who is in first you would have to replay all the division games
This video reminded me of a video I saw from I think the official TH-cam channel of the NFL maybe was actually from the NFL website I don't remember, but they had somebody come on for Earth Day to realign the divisions. I don't recall exactly how they were all realigned. I don't believe it was the same as you like I think both the LA teams were in the same division, but to be honest I have to look back in and find out. I also think both the Texas teams were in the same division in that realignment but it was really interesting to see how you realigned it this time.
Lol I love this good job bubba
I would switch the Chargers and put them in the Pacific and put the Raiders in the Central
This predicted the Superbowl matchup
Aw yes, the Reno Raiders. (Las Vegas is around the southern tip of Nevada)
I came into this ready to be outraged, but the divisions really make sense!
As a Bengals fan, getting to play those teams would be nice, but our tough division is what has made us strong. Otherwise, who dey!
Bro what you mean the only tough team to beat in the AFC north is the ravens
@Pulse Sw1ft this isn't typical though and the AFC North is always brutal. Typically the only underdog is Cleveland but that may change with Watson
As a Dolphins fan living in Atlanta, I wish we and the Falcons played in the same diction and had a rivalry. I would love the chance to go to a game a year.
I'm a diehard Dolphins fan in Orlando, but I would definitely consider doing the drive to Atlanta every season for that game if it was real. Simply because that stadium in Atlanta is so amazing. Hard Rock is great too but I'm not sure that many are on the level of Mercedes Benz Stadium.
I agree with this it would make so much more sense
This was fun. I actually agree with you. But the NFL will never break up the old old school rivalries
The bengals vs bills game is my opinion of what the afc championship will be
I disagree with the lions not being in with the other NFC North teams, I may be a biased Packers fan but that division is perfect travel wise, plus you'll keep all the rivalries in that division. Other than that I like it, it's always bugged me that cowboys travel so far for a divisional game
I like your realignment.
A very eco-friendly re-alignment ;). Well done!
The current NFC west and NFC north both make perfect sense
Having the teams be located as close as possible is a cool idea. Like you said this is actually more eco friendly, and would even save teams money on traveling (owners are always cheap, even if they are billionaires).
I don't think both NY city teams should be in the same division, that's just like giving each of them an extra home game every year, not fair to the rest of the league competitively.
well it is kind of because they may be getting an extra home game, but the other team also has homefield advantage`
I LOVE this!!! Who cares about traditional rivalries? Shale things up!
I'll take that this Sunday!
10:39
“28-3, don’t see a come back here”
Falcons fans: 😐
Coming from a chiefs fan I’m happy with this video, keep it up man!
Lol, I was thinking the same thing!
You won’t be happy in reality if Buffalo keeps the #1 seed. No way will the Chiefs beat them in Buffalo
“This realignment would shave off thousands of miles in flight travel”
NFL: creates a new division in Europe
Awsome video
How about,
*NL West*
San Jose 49ers
Denver Broncos
Los Angeles Rams
Phoenix Cardinals
*NL North*
Cincinnati Bengals
Chicago Bears
Pittsburgh Steelers
Green Bay Packers
*NL South*
Miami Dolphins
Atlanta Falcons
Jacksonville Jaguars
New Orleans Saints
*NL East*
New York Giants
Charlotte Panthers
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Commanders
*AL West*
Las Vegas Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs
Anaheim Chargers of Los Angeles
Seattle Seahawks
*AL North*
Detroit Lions
Minnesota Vikings
Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts
*AL South*
Dallas Cowboys
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Houston Texans
Nashville Titans
*AL East*
Buffalo Bills
New Jersey Jets
Baltimore Ravens
Boston Patriots
I'm sure you can figure out what this is a reference to.
I like everything except the midwest, it should stay the same
I can see that, the nfc north is probably the most perfect nfl division, just had to switch it up for videos sake
all good ideas, I really like this channel keep up the great work!
(what do you mean the colts aren't close to the great lakes they touch lake michigan)
This is insanely good 😂
Chiefs and eagles Super Bowl is the one I want to see the most happen this year
This would be my division realignment:
AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts
AFC South: Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins
AFC East: New England Patriots, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens
AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders
NFC North: Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears
NFC South: New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys
NFC East: New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers
NFC West: San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals
The Colts would move to the AFC North.
The Dolphins would move to the AFC South.
The Ravens would move to the AFC East.
The Cowboys would move to the NFC South.
The Panthers would move to the NFC East.
The AFC West, NFC North, and NFC West would stay the same.
Just my take.
ARI AND LAC SWITCHED
Alright everyone, listen up! We all know the Dallas Cowboys are NOT leaving the NFC East as none of the NFC East owners would agree to it (especially the Jones' themselves). The question is this. Which LONGSHOT scenario is more likelier to happen,
a) The Cowboys moving to another division,
or
b) The Cowboys relocating to a northeast city like say, Hartford or Quebec?
Post your response.
Would be an exciting Super Bowl
Chiefs Vs bills would be entertaining sb
