The 2024 NFL season officially kicks off in Kansas City on Thursday night, when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, defending Super Bowl champions, host the reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
Not bad for a first course.
Every team has a blank slate and all have hopes of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans. But who will be the true Super Bowl champions and who will take home MVP honors?
We asked our staff to give us their predictions, including their outlook on the Jets and Giants, and here’s how they think things will play out:

Chiefs vs Eagles
Who will win the Super Bowl?
Bosses. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Make history with a three-peat. Seems like an easy answer, but until someone proves they can beat them, why pick them over them? I don’t think the Chiefs have the best roster in the NFL. I think they have the best player on the planet. Mahomes gives them a chance every time he’s on the field.

Who will win the Super Bowl?
Lions. I love them. By Dan Campbell and the culture they have been able to create. Jared Goff He has emerged as an elite QB in today’s NFL. The running game has become the backbone of this team. That pairs well with a stout defense that will only get stronger as the season progresses. Keep an eye on the Lions.

Who will win the Super Bowl?
The Bengals. Cincinnati will get its first Super Bowl victory thanks to… Joe Burrowwhose 2023 season was cut short after tearing a ligament in his wrist. Cincinnati came close three seasons ago, falling to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI. This time they will get over the hump, with Burrow leaning on The pursuit of Ja’Marr (who will sign a massive extension early this season) and Higgins T-shirt While the Bengals tame the Lions.

What will the Super Bowl matchup be?
Bengals vs Eagles
Who will win the Super Bowl?
The Eagles. When we made our 2022 postseason predictions, I was one of the few people on staff who thought the Eagles would go all the way, and if it weren’t for a (somewhat fortuitous) James Bradberry Defensive holding penalty against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, he may have been right.
I’m going to pick the Eagles again this time, because their already loaded offense added another differentiating factor. Saquon Barkleyand veteran coach Vic Fangio He’ll give the advantage back to the defense. Eagles-Bengals could be a high-scoring game, but I’m sticking with the Super Bowl MVP. Jalen hurts Making a difference.

Who will win the Super Bowl?
Lions. The Lions have the easiest path to the Super Bowl through the NFC, and last year’s postseason experience will help them. By Dan Campbell He will learn from last year and find a better balance for his aggressive plays.
The Ravens will get over the hump, using last year’s loss to the Chiefs as a springboard to the Super Bowl, but Detroit’s speed on defense will hold them back. Lamar Jackson and achieve victory.
