Patrick Allen: New England Patriots. With Peyton Manning showing his age, there is no other real powerhouse team in the AFC. While the Patriots certainly don’t look unbeatable, if I had to put money on it, I’m taking Brady and Belichick every time.

Josh Sanchez: Pittsburgh Steelers. Why not? With one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, a top-tier running back and a wide open conference, the Steelers have just as good of a chance as anyone to be the breakthrough team in 2015. As long as the team focuses on improving the secondary and filling holes on the defensive side of the ball, they can build off of their impressive turnaround last season.

Mike Dyce: New England Patriots. Led by Tom Brady pursuing history, they return to the Super Bowl. They’d be the first franchise to play in nine Super Bowls, and Brady could become the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls.

Josh Hill: New England Patriots. There’s a good chance they might have also won the Super Bowl last year, as things caught up to them in Denver. But historically when the Patriots get on a roll, they roll hard and this might be the last time we get to see a Brady/Belichick led Patriots team rise to dominance like this.

Jack Jorgensen: Indianapolis Colts. They’ll plug in the few more pieces that they need to get this team over the hump, and next season Luck and the Colts will take the next step of earning a bid to the Super Bowl when they defeat the defending champion Patriots in a rematch of this year’s AFC title game.

Ernie Padaon: New England Patriots. Peyton Manning is declining and the Patriots just keep doing great things with their team. With Tom Brady and Bill Belichick leading the charge, they will always be contenders. They should be back in the big game to defend their championship.
