NFL season preview, award predictions and more

NFL MVP
Patrick Allen: Tom Brady — He’ll out-duel Peyton Manning (again) to send the Patriots to the Super Bowl.
Josh Sanchez: Peyton Manning — The Broncos will be in the mix for the AFC crown, but they will need to get there without their star defensive player for the first month and a half of the season. Because of that, Manning will need to put up huge numbers and carry the team on his shoulders to ensure they stay atop the division. He has shown time and time again that he is capable of doing just that.
Mike Dyce: Tom Brady — He’ll have to carry this offense and could be throwing a lot. Preseason reports show that he is clicking with his receivers and looking incredibly accurate. Danny Amendola will help fill the void early in the season and once Rob Gronkowski returns it will be business as usual.
Bryan Rosa: Aaron Rodgers — When you’re rolling the dice, I guess you go all in, so I’m going with Rodgers. He’s the most efficient quarterback in the league and I believe Lacy will give the Packers a much needed running game which will force defenses to back off Rodgers a bit. Though, it’s not like he’s needed it as he’s been nothing short of amazing the past few seasons – even with defenses game planning for him.
