The Arizona Cardinals finally manage to pull off a Super Bowl victory. It’s a suitable ending for the careers of Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald, and Bruce Arians. While that group may not hang ’em up right away, retirement certainly isn’t far off.
As for the Patriots, the revenge angle only gets so far. I expect the Pats will beat up on most of their opponents throughout the year, but the emotion will run out eventually. Not that anyone will feel bad for New England considering they will likely play in another Super Bowl in a year or so.

As for the Kansas City Chiefs, I see a trip to the AFC Championship game where they fight hard but come up just short. That isn’t the end for the Chiefs though as this team is built for future success. The Chiefs are on the cusp of the big game, and I think there is just a little bit more seasoning needed for this young roster.
