HERD BEST OF THE WEEK: Herd Hierarchy: Broncos IN, Chiefs OUT | Final NFL Predictions |  Sean Payton on Bo Nix & Jaylen Waddle

The Seahawks are the number one team because their best players are in their athletic prime and they have no egos. The Chiefs are ranked at number eleven due to concerns about left tackle Josh Simmons' injury history.

The Bills will win the AFC East and reach the Super Bowl because they are the most heavily favored team to win a division.

The Dolphins will finish last in the AFC East because they have the least talent on their roster in the league.

The Ravens and Bengals will both make the playoffs, with the division winner being a coin flip. The Texans will win the AFC South because their defense will be the best in the league and CJ Stroud will bounce back.

The Broncos will finish second in the AFC West because adding Jalen Waddle gives them a vertical component and Bo Nix is pretty good. The Chiefs will finish third because left tackle Josh Simmons is hurt again, which has always been Mahomes' kryptonite.

The Chargers will have a magical year because Mike McDaniel is a perfect fit and they were a playoff team last year with the worst offensive line.

The Eagles will win the NFC East because Jalen Hurts is the winningest quarterback in the league since being drafted.

The Lions will win the NFC North because they have the easiest schedule in the league and electric playmakers like Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The Saints will win the NFC South because they have the second easiest schedule and continuity at head coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterback. The Rams will win the NFC West despite concerns about Brian Fleury, a first-time offensive coordinator who spent 15 years on defense.

The Seahawks will finish second in the NFC West because they are undervalued in the market and lack brand stars.

Bo Nix's playmaking ability outside the pocket is elite and represents a superpower that makes him tough to sack against pressure packages.

The offensive line is the one position group that permeates the building because a subpar line makes it difficult to evaluate running backs, quarterbacks, and skill players.

Drafting big people on both the offensive and defensive lines is really important and helped the team in New Orleans.

Jalen Waddle's football makeup is fantastic and he endears himself to teammates with his work ethic and communication skills. Waddle is a unique player because he runs exceptionally fast and stops fast, which are two ways to separate in the league.

Week One can be deceiving because nobody plays starters in the preseason and joint practices are limited, so the first month is a teaching race to improve.

He lets Davis Webb call plays but provides guidance during stoppages and ensures Webb feels good about the installed plays during the week.

The worst thing they can do is install plays that Webb won't be interested in calling on Sunday, so they focus on efficiency.

Patrick Mahomes' superpower is his ability to multitask from huddle break to snap, identifying defensive pressures and motions with extreme intelligence.

Traveling to international locations a week early helps the team by getting players away from their comfort zone and cell phones.

Teams he has taken to international locations have ended up having pretty good seasons.
