The caller NFL play is upon america and that intends it is clip for our American shot experts to make their predictions connected nan cardinal issues.

Who will triumph nan Super Bowl? Who will beryllium nan league's MVP? Who will beryllium nan astonishment package to watch retired for? And who will beryllium nan biggest disappointments?

To get nan answers to each these questions, and more, we've assembled a sheet of BBC gridiron experts.

We sewage BBC Sport analogous Nesta McGregor and presenter Hugh Ferris, BBC Radio 5 Live presenters Rob Staton and Mike White on pinch BBC Sport journalists Paul Higham and Ben Collins to make their picks.

So let's spot what they are predicting for this season.

Hugh Ferris: Buffalo Bills

Get past nan Chiefs (or debar them altogether) and who knows? Surely it's clip for their agelong hold for a first Lombardi Trophy to end, peculiarly pinch nan 2024 convention MVP connected offence, and a defence bolstered by nan draught and free agency.

Runners-up: Detroit Lions.

Nesta McGregor: Baltimore Ravens

This is simply a prime much pinch my bosom than my head, truthful hopeless americium I to spot Lamar Jackson crowned a champion. Every twelvemonth he seems to amended and adhd thing to his game. Let this beryllium nan twelvemonth nan Ravens spell each nan way.

Runners-up: Philadelphia Eagles

Rob Staton: Cincinnati Bengals

It's astir apt a brave prime but if Joe Burrow tin play nan measurement he did astatine nan extremity of past season, pinch each their cardinal stars returning, possibly they tin make it backmost to nan Super Bowl and this clip travel retired connected top?

Runners-up: Green Bay Packers

Mike White: Baltimore Ravens

Picked pinch an constituent of trepidation owed to Lamar Jackson's play-off history but a moving backmost who besides passes for 40+ touchdowns speaks for itself and pinch nan players astatine his disposal, positive a respected defence, this will beryllium nan twelvemonth he gets complete nan line.

Runners-up: Green Bay Packers

Ben Collins: Buffalo Bills

With nan Chiefs' situation fading, Josh Allen makes his Super Bowl breakthrough and nan Bills yet declare their first NFL title.

Runners-up: Green Bay Packers

Paul Higham: Green Bay Packers

Matt LaFleur is criminally underrated arsenic a caput coach - making nan play-offs pinch nan youngest squad successful nan NFL nan past 2 seasons. They're nan young guns again, but Jordan Love has recovered his feet, they drafted a receiver successful nan first information and, ohio yes that's right, they pulled disconnected that blockbuster waste and acquisition for Micah Parsons! It's clip to backmost nan Pack.

Runners-up: Buffalo Bills

Hugh Ferris: Joe Burrow

He should person been much a portion of nan speech past twelvemonth aft single-handedly almost overcoming an appalling defence to resistance nan Bengals into nan play-offs. With wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins being signed to large caller deals successful nan disconnected season, he has his weapons for nan agelong term.

Nesta McGregor: Saquon Barkley

He deserved to triumph it past year. Should his numbers moreover travel adjacent this season, nan voters will person nary choice. Sidenote: If different backmost wins nan grant this play tin we please person a abstracted grant for each different positions.

Rob Staton: Joe Burrow

Nobody was playing amended shot astatine nan extremity of past season. He's sewage each of his weapons backmost and it could beryllium Burrow's twelvemonth to scope nan pinnacle.

Ben Collins: Joe Burrow

It was only nan Bengals' defence that denied Burrow a morganatic changeable astatine past season's grant but this twelvemonth he will gain nan nickname his talent deserves.

Paul Higham: Lamar Jackson

The two-time MVP arguably played amended than Josh Allen past play and not overmuch has changed. The champion moving backmost we've ever seen besides threw 41 touchdowns past season, and much of that will fortify his lawsuit further to triumph it for a 3rd time.

Hugh Ferris: Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow positive a amended defence = a heavy play-off run?

Nesta McGregor: Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow & Co, if you're reference this, really astir starting nan play disconnected powerfully alternatively of ever playing drawback up? Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins sewage paid - pinch occupation information you tin either seashore aliases thrive. Make it nan latter!

Rob Staton: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The NFC looks wide unfastened truthful there's a chance for nan Bucs, Commanders aliases Seahawks to make a jump here.

Mike White: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

They picked up immoderate large wins past play connected their measurement to a wildcard nonaccomplishment to a Washington broadside pinch momentum. Fancy them to spell further this year.

Ben Collins: Cincinnati Bengals

After missing retired past season, nan Bengals' defence improves capable to get backmost into nan play-offs, only to beryllium edged retired by nan Bills.

Paul Higham: Denver Broncos

The Rams and Bucs could upset a fewer successful nan NFC, but I'll spell pinch nan Bo Nix Broncos to make a tally successful nan AFC. Sean Payton is simply a maestro who tin bring Nix on moreover further and has a stellar defence to thin connected too.

Hugh Ferris: Dallas Cowboys

Would a mediocre play really beryllium a letdown immoderate more? They're 'America's Team' successful position of franchise worth and nationally televised games, but nan Cowboys haven't really matched that hype successful years, and person conscionable traded distant 1 of their 2 champion players.

Nesta McGregor: Kansas City Chiefs

If only a comedian would stake against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes - past walk maine my make-up and colourful costume. All bully things must travel to an end. And arsenic bully arsenic Mahomes is, my biggest interest is: Who's he throwing nan shot to?

Rob Staton: San Francisco 49ers

It feels for illustration they're connected nan diminution aft a awesome run, pinch ageing stars and injuries that are already stacking up.

Mike White: Kansas City Chiefs

I cognize afloat good this is going to wound maine connected nan backside but I'll spell for nan Kansas City Chiefs, who person a competitory AFC West to contend with. They rode their luck excessively galore times past play and it ran retired successful February against nan rampant Philadelphia Eagles.

Ben Collins: Kansas City Chiefs

They opportunity you tin ne'er spell against nan Chiefs, but I'm going to instrumentality my cervix connected nan statement and do conscionable that. It's nan extremity of an era.

Paul Higham: Dallas Cowboys

It's reliable to cognize what nan expectations are successful Dallas this year, but they've sewage Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb connected immense contracts truthful nan play-offs are a must - but I deliberation they could miss out.

Hugh Ferris: Omarian Hampton

Chargers caput coach Jim Harbaugh wants to run, run, tally and pinch Najee Harris injured, Hampton is going to do nan bulk of nan work. He has looked bully successful what he's put connected portion truthful far.

Nesta McGregor: Travis Hunter

Having spoken to his erstwhile coaches, they are convinced he tin replicate what he produced successful precocious schoolhouse and assemblage successful nan NFL. But we must retrieve they do opportunity it's a different crippled erstwhile nan personification tackling you has bills to pay.

Rob Staton: Emeka Egbuka

He carried himself for illustration a pro astatine Ohio State, is simply a amended jock than group realise, and he'll person a chance to beryllium an effect subordinate successful twelvemonth 1 pinch wounded questions surrounding Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan.

Mike White: Travis Hunter

Overall number 1 prime Cam Ward seems to beryllium nan forgotten man astatine nan less-than-exciting Tennessee Titans, whilst 2nd procreation passer Shadeur Sanders attracts a batch of attraction for evident reasons. I'm much funny to spot what Travis Hunter's dual-threat of playing offence and defence tin do.

Ben Collins: Travis Hunter

I can't hold to spot really good Hunter does arsenic a receiver to Jaguars backmost Trevor Lawrence, but could he besides go nan NFL's first existent two-way subordinate successful decades?

Paul Higham: Josh Williams

Watch retired for moving backmost Ashton Jeanty doing a awesome Marshawn Lynch belief astatine nan Raiders, but I'll spell a spot near field, aliases near tackle I should say, pinch a subordinate perchance unfamiliar to immoderate - Josh Williams. The Chiefs spent a first-round prime connected him to protect Patrick Mahomes' blindside successful an area that's costs them 2 dense Super Bowl defeats. So nary unit location then!

Hugh Ferris: Cleveland Browns

Easy. Cleveland. No Joe Flacco fairytale tally this time.

Nesta McGregor: Atlanta Falcons

Michael Penix Jr whitethorn not beryllium nan feline aft all.

Rob Staton: Cleveland Browns

It conscionable feels for illustration a messiness pinch nan imaginable for play astatine quarterback. Tennessee could beryllium an extracurricular stake to get nan number 1 prime again unless Cam Ward tin person a accelerated start.

Mike White: New Orleans Saints

Hard to take betwixt nan Cleveland Browns, nan Tennessee Titans and nan New Orleans Saints, but I'm leaning towards nan Saints - which could good lead to their number 1 draught prime being utilized connected hometown backmost Arch Manning, pursuing successful footsteps of grandfather Archie.

Ben Collins: New Orleans Saints

Derek Carr's status aft nan draught near nan Saints scrambling for a backmost and having to sanction erstwhile fifth-round prime Spencer Rattler arsenic their starter.

Paul Higham: Cleveland Browns

The Saints are ones to watch here, because if they commencement severely they'll person their oculus connected Arch Manning successful nan draft. But nan Browns won 3 games past play and I'm not projecting galore much this twelvemonth pinch a reliable schedule including nan NFC North arsenic good arsenic their ain division. The added attraction connected that messy backmost room won't thief either.

Hugh Ferris: Aaron Glenn

This grant usually goes to nan caput coach of a squad that's improved, alternatively than conscionable 1 pinch nan champion record, and I deliberation that's what Glenn will do pinch nan Jets. Maybe there'll moreover beryllium a astonishment play-off spot to put to an extremity nan existent longest post-season drought successful US sport.

Nesta McGregor: Nick Sirianni

Right up to winning Super Bowl LIX nan doubters were still vocal. They are little truthful now and different bully twelvemonth should soundlessness them erstwhile and for all.

Rob Staton: Matt LaFleur

The Packers will thrust nan Micah Parsons waste and acquisition to a stronger twelvemonth successful 2025, earning LaFleur nan honour

Mike White: Mike Vrabel

New England Patriots' descent from nan apical has been jarring to their fans while astir apt delightful for everyone else. Vrabel stops nan diminution arsenic he returns to nan squad he enjoyed truthful overmuch occurrence pinch arsenic a player.

Ben Collins: Matt LaFleur

With Jordan Love established arsenic backmost of a quiet Green Bay roster and Micah Parsons having conscionable been added connected defence, LaFleur leads nan Packers backmost to nan Super Bowl.

Paul Higham: Mike Vrabel

It could beryllium a cleanable large wind successful New England arsenic Drake Maye looks nan business astatine quarterback, and Vrabel will toughen them up and make them difficult to beat. He did wonders astatine Tennessee without a prima quarterback, truthful he should get nan Pats to make a large leap this year.
