And they'll face le s pre sure because the offense that led the league in takeaways the last two seasons now has .John Breech: Jerry Jones has brainwashed me.Jared Dubin: ChiefsThey have Patrick Mahomes, and nobody else does.Cody Benjamin: Ravens is this year's version of 2019 Patrick Mahomes -- fired up and motivated from a tough playoff exit. His supporting cast also happens to be world-cla s.Tyler Sullivan: BuccaneersTheir championship window is small, but Tampa Bay makes quick work to get a Lombardi early in the Brady era. Arguably the most well-rounded team in the NFL from top to bottom.Patrik Walker: CowboysThere's just too much talent and it's now driven by a proven head coach with a chip on his shoulder. They edge the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.Jordan Dajani: RavensThe Ravens were the best team in the regular season last year, but they found out that's not enough to go all the way. They will take the le sons they learned in 2019 and win the Super Bowl this year.Bryan DeArdo: ChiefsThey have the talent and overall depth to be the first NFL team to repeat since the 2003-2004 . The Chiefs' strength of schedule (tied for the 18th-easiest Christian Kirksey Jersey in the NFL) should enable them to lock up the No. 1 seed heading into the playoffs.Jeff Kerr: ChiefsEighteen of 22 starters back from a Super Bowl championship team with Patrick Mahomes at 100 percent and offensive maestro Andy Reid as head coach. Hard to go against them.We're giving away tons of free cash this season and all you need to do is pick your best 5 games to get in the action.Enter Parlay Pick'em nowfor your chance to win the $20,000 guaranteed season prize and $5,000 to the Week 1 winner. Terms apply.Chris Trapa so: SaintsBest top-to-bottom roster in the NFL. After a few years of playoff nightmares, the Saints get it done, and Brees walks off into the sunset, because that's where legendary QBs walk after they win a Super Bowl in their final season, apparently.Josh Edwards: SaintsThe Saints are motivated to win in what could be Drew Brees' final season. The team has more continuity than nearly every team in the league and that should benefit them in an already peculiar year.THE FINAL TALLY:Chiefs (4)Saints (3)Ravens (3)Buccaneers (2)Cowboys (2)Colts (1)Super Bowl LV MVPJason La Canfora: Lamar JacksonThe game-winning QB usually gets the hardware.Pete Prisco: Patrick MahomesHe will have an even better game in his second Super Bowl.Will Brinson: Philip RiversQB for the Super Bowl-winning team cements his Hall of Fame resume.Jonathan Jones: Feel like this one may go to Brees as a final lifetime achievement award, but it'll be hard to ignore Michael Thomas' 16 receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns.Ryan Wilson: Godwin was just about unstoppable last season, and now he has the greatest player in league history throwing him the ball.John Breech: I'm serious, Jerry brainwashed me.Jared Dubin: Patrick MahomesHe's the best player in the league Terrance Mitchell Jersey .Cody Benjamin: Lamar JacksonLet's be honest: If the Ravens win it, we all know who's going to be playing Superman.Tyler Sullivan: Tom BradyIf the Bucs are going to win Super Bowl LV in their home stadium as I predict, it's going to be on TB12's shoulders. That's five Super Bowl MVPs for those counting at home.Patrik Walker: Another contract year and more doubters outside the building, plus the most weapons in the NFL and McCarthy means it's Prescott's time.Jordan Dajani:Lamar JacksonThe year after Patrick Mahomes won regular-season MVP, he won Super Bowl MVP. Lamar Jackson follows that path.Bryan DeArdo: Fun fact: No tight end has ever been named Super Bowl MVP. (The ' Dan Ro s would likely have been named MVP had Cincinnati defeated the way back in Super Bowl XVI Eric Murray Jersey .) Kelce, who caught six pa ses for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' Super Bowl win over the 49ers, could be the first to do it.Jeff Kerr: Hard to go against Mahomes, but Hill puts up a clinic and has a monster game in Tampa. The six 140+ yard receiving games showcase his ability to change a game.Chris Trapa so: Michael ThomasI could totally envision a scenario in which Brees doesn't have a monstrous Super Bowl but Thomas does and takes home the hardware.Josh Edwards: Michael ThomasMichael Thomas has been Drew Brees' favorite target, and that will not change on the game's biggest stage.THE FINAL TALLY:Michael Thomas (3)Lamar Jackson (3)Patrick Mahomes (2)Tom Brady (1)Chris Godwin (1)Ezekiel Elliott (1)Dak Prescott (1)Tyreek Hill (1)Philip Rivers (1)Travis Kelce (1)Regular season MVPJason La Canfora: Patrick MahomesThe best player in the game is loaded with weapons.Pete Prisco: Patrick MahomesThe numbers will be eye-opening.Will Brinson: Long shot here, but I think the can win 10+ games, win the NFC North and maybe even make a playoff run.Jonathan Jones: Patrick MahomesWith kneecap properly located all year, Mahomes returns to his league MVP glory.Ryan Wilson: Wilson finally gets his due after leading the to the division title.John Breech: Dak PrescottI wasn't kidding about the brainwashing thing.Jared Dubin: Patrick MahomesI've been trying to tell you.Cody Benjamin: Patrick MahomesIt's the boring pick, yes, but his 2019 numbers were "down" by his standards. Another 40-touchdown year seems reasonable.Tyler Sullivan: Patrick MahomesThis regular season is going to come down to continuity, which Rashard Higgins Jersey the Chiefs have in spades. I don't expect Mahomes to rest on the laurels of his first title and will show that he's hungry for more accolades throughout 2020.Patrik Walker: Dak PrescottEven if the first two Cowboys predictions (Super Bowl and SB MVP) don't come true, I project this to be an MVP season for Prescott, because look at his weapons, motivation and coach.Jordan Dajani: Ru sell WilsonIt's about time Ru sell Wilson got his MVP. D.K. Metcalf's huge second season will help him as well.Bryan DeArdo: Tom BradyWhile Brady (for various reasons) staggered to the finish line during the end of his run in New England, the 43-year-old will be surrounded with talent in Tampa Bay.Jeff Kerr: Ru sell WilsonThe only QB to to s 100 TD pa ses over the last three years. It's time for Wilson to get his due with the best cast of playmakers he's ever had.Chris Trapa so: Dak PrescottI think Dallas will be in a handful of high-scoring games, and Prescott has too many high-caliber weapons to not be extremely productive on what should be the winners of the NFC East.Josh Edwards: Drew BreesDrew Brees has n
