Our picks to play in and win Super Bowl 60.
Forecasting the complete playoff fields for the AFC and NFC.
Who wins league MVP? Rookies of the Year? Which lineman takes home first Protector of the Year hardware? We make our predictions.
The 2025 NFL regular season gets underway Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field, where the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the archrival Dallas Cowboys to kick off Week 1.
Five months from now, we’ll know if the Eagles will be in position to defend their crown, who might be in their way − or which team vanquished them on the road to Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara − whether or not the Cowboys made the right call by trading Micah Parsons, not to mention which players will have earned individual accolades during the upcoming campaign.
But USA TODAY Sports’ staff of NFL experts appreciate that you demand predictions and projections for these questions now − whether it’s forecasting who will appear on Super Sunday, who will be the league’s MVP and its top rookie honorees, or even which offensive lineman becomes the first to win the newly created Protector of the Year award.
Premature envelopes, please … and don’t hold us to these.
