Chris Brockman · Dec 23, 2024

Brockman argued Michael Penix will lead Atlanta to a playoff win and that the Falcons will win the NFC South, that the Vikings are the league's best team, that MVP is a two-horse race he leans toward Lamar Jackson, and that the Chiefs — flaws and all — will win the AFC and reach the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl.

  • Lamar Jackson to win MVP

    for me, MVP is a two horse race between Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff ... Lamar is gonna win his third MVP

    Think this is wrong?

  • Atlanta Falcons to win the division

    It's not just hot or overreacting to say they're gonna win the division. They're in first place right now.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl

    But the Chiefs are winning the AFC. ... They're going to the Super Bowl. They're gonna go to New Orleans
