1. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs will make it to a third consecutive Super Bowl and win it for the second time in three years if ...

... their offensive line rebuild is as successful as they hope. That's where any growth in the offense is likely to come from as the Chiefs declined to add a significant skill player for the first time in years. Kansas City has to be better in not only protecting QB Patrick Mahomes but in the run game as well. They will likely start five new linemen from last season, including two rookies, another first-year player and a left tackle in Orlando Brown Jr. who is trying to establish himself at a new position.

Breakout candidate: Willie Gay, LB

Gay didn't have much of an impact as a second-round pick in 2020, but judging from his play at training camp, where he was one of the Chiefs' better defensive players, that should change this season. Gay should help the Chiefs with one of their defensive weaknesses, which has been in covering backs out of the backfield. He showed good instincts and range in breaking up a number of passes at camp.

Bold prediction: DL Chris Jones will top his career high in sacks (15.5).

Jones is taking well to his position change to defensive end, but he will likely still get a significant number of snaps at his former position on the interior of the line. This should play to his strengths as a pass-rusher. Jones predicted he would lead the NFL in sacks before the 2018 season, and while he fell short, his 15.5 made for a breakout season. Jones is making no similar predictions this year, but look for him to get similar results. -- Adam Teicher

INTts certainly distracts ..and shuvel passes hardly qualify but yea 

True but again a lot of those turnovers could easily have been td's too. Never know but going forward if we protect the ball we may see more td's. Saw a thing where Brady was on pace for 6k yards and 51 td. Imagine what mahomes pace is now for tds.
