Plus I've added some commentary in bold italics as well. What team's performance in the NFL has been the most shocking? Let us know below
(Goz's take-Levack's Miami pick looks really good right now and so does the Chargers Super Bowl pick. If it wasn't for a Jimmy G injury, how good could the 49ers have been? )

The Philadelphia Eagles return a roster that can compete for a second straight Super Bowl title. The Eagles upgraded on both sides of the ball. On defense, they replace Vinny Curry and Beau Allen with Martellus Bennett and Haloti Ngata. On offense, they get Jason Peters and Darren Sproles back, add Dallas Goedert behind Zach Ertz, replace Torrey Smith with Mike Wallace, and Carson Wentz will be back by October. They’ll be fine with Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles until then. Speaking of Wentz, he will be my MVP. Wentz was on a torrid pace before the ACL injury. Once he’s back, he is going to prove it wasn’t a fluke. With the way he will play, that will be enough to land him MVP. The NFC is a stacked conference. The Saints are a problem and they are my dark horse champion. In the AFC, it’s really anyone’s guess. Yeah, you have the Patriots. They’re always there and it wouldn’t shock me if they pull it off. I don’t believe in the Jaguars. The defense is elite, but the offense will struggle. The Steelers have been knocking on the door for a while now and the clock is ticking on the Big Ben era. I think we see the Pennsylvania Bowl this year. (side note: Saquon Barkley will win ROY)
