2025 NFL Prediction-Palooza: Playoffs, Super Bowl, MVP and More

Proper NFL football returns for the first time in nearly seven months this evening as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. As per tradition around here, I hammered out a list of predictions for the upcoming season for everybody to take in before Cris Collinsworth let's out his first "here's a guy" of the season. Hope you all enjoy the game this evening and the few minutes you spend consuming these largely, if not completely doomed Super Bowl, playoff, etc. picks.
