2015 NFL Bold Predictions: Experts Predict League MVP, Super Bowl Champ And More
The 2015 NFL season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with some bold predictions? You might not know it in the heat of all of the Deflategate talks, but games are right around the corner.
Bold predictions can go either one of two ways. You end up looking like a genius, or you end up looking like...well, you get the point.
Who will hoist the 2015 Lombardi Trophy? Will New England go back-to-back? Who takes home this year's Most Valuable Player honors? Is this Andrew Luck's year? Do the Green Bay Packers get revenge after a heartbreaking end to the 2014 season?
With so many questions, we turned to CBS sports experts from across the country to get their bold predictions for the 2015 NFL season. Matt Spiegel and Brian Hanley from 670 The Score in Chicago, Colin Dunlap from 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Evan Roberts from WFAN in New York, Ike Reese from Sportsradio 94WIP in Philadelphia, Levan Reid from WBZ-TV in Boston, and Mark Viviano of WJZ-TV in Baltimore weigh in and give their boldest of predictions as the NFL season rapidly approaches.
