2024 NFL Prediction-Palooza: Playoffs, Super Bowl, MVP and More

Real football is finally here as the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens kick off the 2024 NFL Season tonight in Kansas City.  As per tradition around these parts, today is also the day where I drop my huge list of predictions for the season that includes everything from the Super Bowl winner to which coach I believe has the highest odds of being fired during the season. It's a fun albeit silly exercise that serves as a welcome reminder that the NFL is officially back, which is more important than the accuracy of the picks this time of year anyways. Enjoy the game tonight and all of the Week 1 action everybody.
