NFL season predictions and award winners for 2014-15
By Josh Sanchez
Super Bowl Champion
Allen: Denver Broncos. Like a fine wine, Manning seems to only get better with age. I’m a Chiefs fan. I can’t stand the guy. But if you are ignoring what this guy can do on the football field you are just fooling yourself. I know he only has one Super Bowl. I know his playoff record. But plenty of terrific QBs have struggled in the postseason. See Marion, Dan. Manning is smarter than ever. His combination of pick plays, defensive reads and at the line adjustments, not to mention offensive weapons, makes the Broncos the favorite to win it all until he retires. Sadly, Manning seems like a guy that might be able to play well into his 40s.
Sanchez: Green Bay Packers. This is a season to go all in on the Packers. Aaron Rodgers has looked phenomenal during the preseason and has shown that he will hit the ground running when the season begins. Rodgers and Brady will be a great quarterback duel, with the Packers winning their fifth Super Bowl title.
Dyce: Broncos. Peyton Manning leads the Denver Broncos to the Vince Lombardi Trophy podium with a more rounded out team and a much improved defense. The only question facing Manning now is whether he should retire ala Ray Lewis, or go for one more before retiring like another famous Broncos quarterback, John Elway.
Jorgensen: Seattle Seahawks. The dynasty construction continues.
Hill: New England Patriots. San Francisco is a great team, but Tom Brady has had a fire burning through his football soul since he last won a Super Bowl and he desperately wants to win at least one more. He has Gronk back, Revis is on his side for once and New England might have one more spectacular year left in this historic regime.
