Who will be the MVP?
The Most Valuable Player or MVP is one of the most coveted titles in the history of football. It is awarded by the Associated Press (AP) to the player who is deemed the “most valuable” in the current season. Indianapolis Colts veteran quarterback Peyton Manning currently holds the record for most MVP titles, with 5 to his name. Who is expected to win this time?
- Patrick Mahomes III: The quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs is the fast favorite to win the AP MVP award this season. He won the award back in 2018 and is also celebrated as one of the best QBs of all time. In 2020, Mahomes scored 38 touchdowns and set up 6 interceptions. His QBR was also a record-high 90.8 points.
- Aaron Rodgers: Another favorite to win the MVP is the last-time winner Aaron Rodgers. Although Rodgers is currently playing with the Green Bay Packers, there has been some uncertainty about his future with the team. Rodgers has 3 MVP awards to his name, and the 2021 season could be his chance to inch closer to breaking Manning’s record.
- Tom Brady: Tom Brady is widely regarded by most people as the Greatest of All Time or GOAT, in the pantheon of the NFL. Brady spent most of his career with the New England Patriots and managed to win them 6 Super Bowls. In 2020, he shifted to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and managed to win them the Super Bowl.
Who will win the AFC?
The American Football Conference or AFC is one of the major sub-leagues of the NFL. For the past two years, the Kansas City Chiefs have managed to come out on top. Under the guidance of star coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs are one of the biggest favorites for the 2021-22 season. With star QB Patrick Mahomes and running back Clyde Edwards-Herraire on their roster, the Chiefs have a chance to win the AFC once again. The New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts also have a chance of upsetting the Chiefs and winning the AFC.
Who will win the NFC?
The National Football Conference or the NFC is the other major sub-league of the NFL. In the last edition, Tom Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory in the NFC finals as well as the Super Bowl. The Buccaneers are one of the strict favorites to win the NFC this year as well, with major sportsbooks giving them great odds. However, the San Francisco 49ers are close behind also. Running back Raheem Mostert is one of the fastest football players in history, which you can read about on this page.
Predicting the Playoffs of NFL 2021-22
Here are some predictions for the playoff winners for this edition of the NFL, according to in-depth info obtained from ESPN.
- AFC West Champions: It is widely believed that the Chiefs will do very well this season, and will win the AFC West championship at least. Even if they lose the AFC outright, the Chiefs have a very big season lined up for them.
- AFC North Champions: Many experts think that the Cleveland Browns will be able to win the AFC North championship this season. In 2021-22, the Browns can be expected to right all of the mistakes that they made during last year.
- AFC East Champions: The Buffalo Bills are predicted to win the AFC East Championship and are expected to prevail over long-time rivals New England Patriots. The Patriots are floundering and haven’t been the same team ever since Tom Brady’s departure.
- AFC South Champions: This playoff spot is a bone of contention, mainly because most experts are divided. However, most of them agree that it will either be the Indianapolis Colts or the Tennessee Titans who win the AFC South cup.
- NFC West Champions: Without question, it is predicted that the Los Angeles Rams will end up winning the NFC West cup. They had a very strong season during NFL 2020-21.
- NFC North Champions: With Aaron Rodgers in the mix, the Green Bay Packers are the ones expected to clinch the title of NFC North this year. Many think that this season will be the last with Rodgers and the Packers.
- NFC South Champions: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rejuvenated by veteran Tom Brady, are expected to retain their title from last year. The team is in terrific form, and their inaugural match with the Cowboys will set the tone for 2021-22.
- NFC East Champions: Sadly, the East division of the NFC is lackluster this season. None of the teams have managed to do well. The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling after hiring Nick “Systems” Sirianni as their new head coach.
