NFL season preview, award predictions and more
By Josh Sanchez
Super Bowl Champion
Patrick Allen: New England Patriots — You have no chance of getting lucky if you don’t have a date to the dance and the Patriots get to the dance way to often to not get another ring before Brady and Belichick ride off into the sunset.
Josh Sanchez: Atlanta Falcons — This is the time for Matt Ryan and company. With one of the most talented starting line ups in the league, the Falcons should be able to rise above the rest of the competition. Of course, an injury could change it all, but the Falcons have plenty of reliable players that have proven they will suit up every Sunday.
Mike Dyce: Seattle Seahawks — Russell Wilson will lead this team to the Super Bowl and get the praise but it will be the confident defense that helps them win the Super Bowl. Pete Carroll would become the third head coach in history to win an NCAA National Championship and a Super Bowl. The first in the BCS era to accomplish the feat.
Bryan Rosa: Green Bay Packers — First ‘cold’ Super Bowl in quite some time, something neither team should really have an issue with – especially the Packers. Should be a gun slinging match between Manning and Rodgers, but I like the weapons on Green Bay just a bit more. Neither defense does a ton for me, so I expect one of the higher scoring and entertaining Super Bowl’s in a while.
