Welcome to the NFL offseason. The Los Angeles Rams are Super Bowl LVI champs, and we’re already looking ahead to the favorites for next year’s title game.

Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Bills over 49ers. The Bills will go through some changes with Ken Dorsey as the new offensive coordinator, but I still anticipate a quarterback-centric system designed around Josh Allen’s high-end physical abilities. And with a defense that can limit…
