4. San Francisco 49ers

They can win the Super Bowl with this roster. They also need some receivers who are healthy and competent. Both of those statements are true. This is a very good team, from top to bottom, and coached extremely well.

3. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens run-defense should be fixed with the additions of Calais Campbell, Derek Wolfe, and Patrick Queen. The passing game should be improved with more experience by Lamar Jackson and Marquise Brown and some exciting young talent at receiver. The running game should be the league’s best, yet again. The coaching is top-notch.

This Ravens team is built to compete for this year’s Super Bowl, and the expectation is that they will do just that. Once they exercise their playoff demons, the sky is the limit. We believe this is the year they take that next step. Will it be enough? We’ll tell you in February.

2. New Orleans Saints

Their defense is talented on every level. So is their offense. They have Hall-of-Famers at quarterback and head coach. If Brees can hold up, and they can get past their own playoff hauntings, this might be the most talented roster in the league.

1. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and a bevy of skilled players make this the team to beat, and they have the hardware to prove it. I don’t believe they are miles ahead of the three teams behind them, but they have those difference-makers who have proven to be the real deal. To be the champs, you have to beat the champs. The champs right now are in Kansas City.
