If you want to see our regular season Cal Ripken Jersey .Alright, we've got a lot to cover and not a lot of time to cover it since the NFL season starts on Thursday, so let's get to these predictions. Super Bowl championJason La Canfora:SaintsDrew Brees has another Adam Jones Jersey ring in him. He just might get it this year. Marcus Davenport will make an impact and the Saints' ridiculous 2017 draft cla s hasn't even scratched the surface yet. They have restored their home-field advantage and have a defense they can pack on the road now, too.Pete Prisco:PackersThey have Aaron Rodgers back and I think the defense will be much improved. A richer Rodgers thanks to his new deal will be a happy Rodgers and one who is still the best quarterback in the league. He seemed at peace this summer when I talked to him, almost giving off the impre sion that something special was coming.Will Brinson: Everyone should dream of a "hangover" like the one the Falcons experienced in 2017, winning 10 games and nearly making a very deep playoff run. The band is back together and should produce a bounce-back season in Steve Sarkisian's second year at the helm of the offense; expect a large bump in red-zone production. The defense will be key to this deep run, though, as the Falcons finally get a full season where everything comes together instead of just a late-year run for the defense. This team is balanced, deep, consistent and dangerous -- even in the NFL's toughest division they will rise up and win the franchise's first Super Bowl.Sean Wagner-McGough: They've got an all-time great quarterback, the league's best running back duo, a legit WR1, and a very good defense that just added a first-round pa s rusher to compliment their already elite pa s rusher. Their defense might not be as good as the Vikings', but they've got the better of the two quarterbacks. Their quarterback might not be as good as the Packers', but they've got the better of the two defenses. They're the most complete team and if they can earn a couple of home playoff games in that dome, they're going to be damn-near impo sible to beat come January.Jared Dubin: Green Bay finally broke from its long-established trend of staying out of the free-agency fray, and the additions of and will be incredibly valuable on each side of the ball. Add in the back-to-back picks used on cornerbacks early in the draft solving the team's biggest i sue, plus the presence of the highest-upside player in the NFL, and the Packers, despite playing in what might be the , are a strong pick to come away with the Lombardi Trophy. Ryan Wilson: PackersGood news Jesus Sucre Jersey : The will return to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2010 season. Bad news: They'll face the Packers, the same team that beat them seven years ago. Expect a repeat performance in February 2019. John Breech: PackersDespite what it might seem like, I swear there was Colby Rasmus Jersey no CBS Sports memo that required us all to pick the Packers this year.Super Bowl MVPJason La Canfora:Brees is in line to become the most prolific pa ser in NFL history this season and his team will be watched closely each week with its Super Bowl hopes and if Brees can run through the gauntlet of the NFC South and emerge on top with the Lombardi Trophy, I see him grabbing some hardware along the way.Will Brinson:Matt RyanTwo years ago, with the Falcons winning 28-3 and appearing on the verge of a title, Ryan wasn't going to be the guy somehow. or some other defensive player was going to win the award. But this year it's going to be Ryan who gets dialed in during the Super Bowl and secures the award.Sean Wagner-McGough: Drew BreesWell, the Saints are my Super Bowl pick, so picking the quarterback of the Super Bowl winning team seems like the safest bet, even when that team also employs .Jared Dubin: The quarterback always wins Super Bowl MVP. Ryan Wilson:Aaron RodgersAfter playing in just seven games last season, the 34-year-old Rodgers is playing with a chip on his shoulder. That isn't some sports-talk platitude; Rodgers has a history of taking slights (perceived or otherwise) and channeling them into motivation. What better way to prove those nonexistent doubters wrong than by winning Super Bowl MVP honors. John Breech:Aaron RodgersIf the Packers win the Super Bowl, there's a 99.8 percent chance that Rodgers is going to be named the MVP, and that 99.8 percent chance moves up to 100 percent if Rodgers wins the game on a Hail Mary, which is completely po sible since he's basically averaging at least one completed Hail Mary per playoff game at this point in his career. Regular Season MVP Jason La Canfora: Drew BreesI am tempted as always to put here, but I believe the Brady bar has been set so impo sibly high, and the cast around him this year is so suspect, that I opted to go with a different 40-something QB instead.Pete Prisco:Aaron RodgersHe will put up some unreal numbers this season on his way Pedro Alvarez Jersey to leading the Packers to the Super Bowl. Will Brinson:I'm in on the being better than people think and, perhaps, even being GOOD. Actually, I think they'll be a pretty good squad despite their limitations. People have been itching to give Wilson the MVP award for a long time and this is the perfect storm for handing him the hardware: a team who isn't supposed to be good captained by a quarterback who produces like 60 percent of their offense makes the playoffs to everyone's surprise while everyone screams about how truly valuable Wilson is and
