Football fans are in for a treat as the race for the next Lombardi gets underway.

Speaking of next Lombardi, which contenders are best-suited to make a true run at glory? And which superstars are bound for top accolades along the way? We polled more than a dozen of our NFL experts here at CBS Sports to give you pre-Week 1 predictions for everything from MVP to Super Bowl champs:

Mahomes already has two MVPs under his belt, but it’s clear no one expects him to slow down entering his seventh season as a starter. Interestingly enough, though, a whopping nine (9) different quarterbacks received votes for this year’s top award. It speaks to the plethora of talent at the position.
