Nesta McGregor: Kansas City Chiefs

The ‘three-peat’ has been achieved in almost every other major sport, so why is this the year American football joins the party? The answer is Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes, despite all his achievements, was not number one in the top 100 list voted for by NFL players this year. I expect that to be top of Kansas City’s bulletin board and for him to once again prove he’s not only the current number one but the best quarterback to ever put on a helmet.

Phoebe Schecter: Cincinnati Bengals

Let’s go for the Cincinnati Bengals versus the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. The Bengals reached the Super Bowl two years ago and they have that determination to get back there. Even with quarterback Joe Burrow injured last season, they almost beat the Chiefs (in week 17). That said so much about how strong their team are. Now imagine you’ve got a healthy Burrow too. They really could take it all the way.

Mike White: Kansas City Chiefs

As much as I’d like to say the San Francisco 49ers will get over the hump this time, only a fool (a category I easily fall into) would back against the Chiefs finding a way to make it a three-peat and pick up their fourth Lombardi Trophy in the past six seasons. With head coach Andy Reid still cooking up creative ways to beat teams and Mahomes at the helm, it’s a no-brainer.

Rob Staton: Kansas City Chiefs

How do you bet against this team, this coach and this quarterback? The simple answer is you don’t.

Paul Higham: Kansas City Chiefs

Nobody’s done three in a row, but nobody’s had Mahomes before – and, if anyone can do it, he can. Plenty of teams have chances – and I’d like to pick against them just for variety – but the Chiefs are the team to beat until proven otherwise.

Ben Collins: San Francisco 49ers

After losing two Super Bowls in five years, the 49ers will make it third time lucky after keeping their stacked roster together.
