Thirty-five ESPN NFL commentators offer their predictions for the 2014 NFL season below. Each expert was asked to give his/her pick for AFC and NFC Conference Champion, Super Bowl Champion and NFL MVP, and the 2013 winners of both conferences are again the favorites.
The Denver Broncos lead the way with 16 votes to win the AFC (followed by the Patriots, 13) and 10 votes to be crowned winners of Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona in February. The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks earned 15 NFC votes and nine votes to win the Super Bowl. The New Orleans Saints also fared well with 14 votes to win the NFC and eight to win the Super Bowl.
