Trevor Lawrence took a massive step forward and the offense only got better, with Calvin Ridley set to return. I think the Jaguars will use that top seed (and bye) to propel themselves into the Super Bowl. 1 seed due to their talent and modest strength of schedule. It's easy to imagine the Jaguars finishing atop the AFC at the end of the season and, yes, MMQB's Peter King stole my thunder. But with this much talent scrapping in the AFC, someone has to come out on top and I'm down to take a chance on the Dolphins. Do I feel confident about it? Absolutely not. The defensive front of Bradley Chubb, Christian Wilkins, Zach Sieler and Jaelan Phillips is one of the best in football, and Vic Fangio is now coaching them. But I think people overlook the Miami defense. The juice on offense speaks for itself, as I expect both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to have All-Pro-caliber seasons. The AFC looks like a demolition derby, and in a conference with about 10 legitimate contenders, why not Miami? The big question is obviously the health of Tua Tagovailoa, but if the Dolphins can keep him on his feet they've got arguably the most talented roster in the league. There's not much in the way of excuses for Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy, and if it doesn't happen this season, I'm just not sure when it will. The Cowboys have an elite pass rush, a top-tier secondary an explosive receiver corps, a strong offensive line and a Pro Bowl running back. But I truly believe this is the best roster in Dallas since at least 2007, and this is as wide open as the NFC has looked in modern memory. It feels completely insane to pick the Cowboys, given their 27-year absence from the NFC Championship Game - let alone the Super Bowl. Lord help me, I don't know exactly how I wound up with a Super Bowl VI rematch. I’ll bet on Buffalo’s Top-5 offense and Top-5 defense bringing the Lombardi Trophy home for the first time. The Bills have been "Super Bowl good" the last three years, but if it doesn't happen this year, things could get reaaally interesting next offseason. Seriously, though, this may be Custer’s Last Stand in Orchard Park. I’m sure a lot of my peers will pick the Chiefs or Eagles, but I’m not putting either one in the Super Bowl. If the Deshaun Watson we saw last year was a byproduct of rust, then the Browns have everything they need to make a deep playoff run. I see them matching up in the big game against a surprise participant from the AFC - the Cleveland Browns - who also have a great roster and a favorable schedule. I think the Niners have the best roster in the league, so I like it to all come together this year. Last year, an injury to QB Brock Purdy early in the team's big playoff showdown with the Eagles eliminated any chance of winning in Philadelphia. Two years ago, the 49ers cost themselves a Super Bowl berth with some very conservative decisions against the Rams in the NFC title game. San Francisco has been knocking on the door for some time now. Chris "The Bear" Fallica: 49ers over Browns
