Can Tampa Bay win the double?
We left the NFL last February on a new coronation for Tom Brady, acquired with Tampa Bay against the defending champions, the Chiefs. This year, the Bucs are logically favorites to their own succession. After all, who would still bet against TB12 and the Buccaneers? The reigning champion sets out to conquer Vince Lombardy with roughly the same men in his squad and that is enough to make him the team to beat. Only downside: playing one more regular season game with this experienced roster, and therefore younger, could weigh on the legs and on the bodies in the Playoffs.
Will the Chiefs get their crown back?
Swept by Tampa Bay during the last Super Bowl, the Chiefs come back with the desire to eat everything. With its fire attack symbolized by the trio Patrick Mahomes – Tyreek Hill – Travis Kelce, the franchise of Missouri should still cut the defenses with relish. To tell the truth, the Chiefs, after having occupied their summer to reinforce their offensive line, have everything on paper to recover their trophy. The appointment is made on February 6 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for Magic Mahomes and his teammates.
The Bills, the first outsiders for the Super Bowl?
Will the cursed franchise of the NFL return to the high mass of US football? Above all, can the New York state franchise finally win the first title in its history? This is the goal of Josh Allen and his partners. AFC finalists last season against Kansas City, the Bills are undoubtedly the rising team of the championship. Around his quarterback with a cannon arm and transfigured since the recruitment of Stefon Diggs, Buffalo has overwhelming ambitions for the coming year. The Chiefs have been warned!
Have the Packers hit their cap?
Conference finalist for the past two years, Green Bay has not played in the Super Bowl since 2010, the date of his last coronation. The case of Aaron Rodgers, reigning MVP, sowed discord this summer. Finally, the Packers superstar decided to continue the adventure with his franchise of always. Except that the residents of Lambeau Field are not reinforced during the offseason and that the coach Matt LaFleur begins to see his credit dwindle. The Packers’ defense, especially in the face of the race, needs to improve greatly. Because as brilliant as Green Bay’s attack is, it cannot do everything on the pitch.
Will the Patriots return to the Playoffs?
Absent from the post-season last year for the first time since 2008, New England will have to work hard to return to the Playoffs. In the AFC East division, the Bills are the big favorites and the Dolphins hope to continue their progress. Nevertheless, the formation of Bill Belichick has assets up its sleeve and in particular base a lot of hope on its new starting quarterback, the rookie Mac Jones, 15th choice of the last draft. A promising 22-year-old pitcher who the Patriots are relying heavily on to regain their scarecrow status.
Who will win the MVP trophy?
The trophy has been grabbed by quarterbacks for eight years and this season should be no exception. Patrick Mahomes, winner in 2018, is the frontrunner in this fight between QB, in which Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are expected to appear. Among the big odds likely to cause a sensation, we can cite Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson but also a returning side of Dallas, Dak Prescott.
Justin Herbert, sparkling confirmation?
The Chargers pitcher is one of the NFL’s rising stars, and for good reason, his first year in the NFL was a dazzling one on a personal level. For his debut in the League, Herbert chained the records for a rookie, including those for touchdown passes (31) but also number of completed passes (396). Logically elected rookie of the year, Herbert is a modern, tall (1.98m) and strong QB, in the tradition of a certain Josh Allen. If the Chargers manage to better protect their number 10, there is no doubt that the Californians will be dangerous in the months to come with Justin Herbert in charge.
Trevor Lawrence, sensation in the making?
The first choice of the draft arrives in the championship with a label of prodigy that sticks to his skin. The former Clemson student, NCAA champion in 2018, has chained the performances of very high flight during his three college seasons. Normal, since on the field, the number 16 can do everything well with the ball in hand. Selected by the Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence is considered one of the most talented rookie quarterbacks of the past 20 years. Within a formation of Jacksonville very perfectible and which will have for mission to protect it as best as possible, the thrower of 21 years will be scrutinized by the whole country.
