Pete Prisco shares his first Power Rankings of the 2024 NFL season
On paper, the Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the NFL. They have the game's best player in Patrick Mahomes, who is on his way to being the best player ever, and they have a great coach in Andy Reid to go with a talented roster.
That, coupled with my usual tradition of starting the previous year's Super Bowl winner in the top spot of my Power Rankings, has the Chiefs at No. 1 heading into the regular season. They will be attempting a three-peat, which has never happened in the NFL in the Super Bowl era.
But that doesn't mean I am picking the Chiefs to win it all. Even though 2023 was the year to get the Chiefs when they struggled on offense for much of the season, they still found a way to win it all -- and this team is better. But the burden of the three-peat will be too much.
