This week, SB Nation Reacts conducted surveys to determine which NFL fans believe will emerge victorious in the AFC South and NFC South divisions. Last year, the Houston Texans replaced the Jacksonville Jaguars as champions of the AFC South. The Indianapolis Colts started the season strongly but declined after quarterback Daniel Jones sustained a season-ending injury. <source 2bd31665-ac0>

According to the latest polls, the Texans are anticipated to regain the division title. The New York Jets have shown interest in the AFC South. Former Jets head coach Robert Saleh has been appointed as the Tennessee Titans head coach. Additionally, the Jets possess Indianapolis' first-round pick from the Sauce Gardner trade, which is likely to generate significant attention. <source 2bd31665-ac0>

In the NFC South, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' four-year streak of division titles came to an end as the Carolina Panthers claimed the title. Fans polled predict the Bucs will reclaim the top spot in the South. Fans also seem to believe that Todd Bowles, the former Jets head coach, will perform better than his former Jets counterpart, Robert Saleh. <source 2bd31665-ac0>
