2024 NFL SEASON PREVIEW
NO 1 RANKED NFL TEAM - KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
After winning Superbowl LVIII the Kansas City Chiefs sit atop this years BTS Guru NFL TEAM Rankings and for good reason. They look set to go deep again this year and are in search of 3 Superbowls in a row. A feat in the NFL that no team has yet to achieve. Can Patrick Mahomes lead the Chiefs to NFL history in Superbowl LIX to be held in Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana.
The bookmakers have the Chiefs favourite again at a very short price of $4.33 (+333), any early takers? While we wont be putting any of our hard earned money on this early in the season, there is a lot to like about this team.
CHIEFS TEAM CHART
2024 PRESEASON RANKINGS
Our Ranking system has been designed to estimate where all 32 teams are likely to finish at the end of the regular season. While we anticipate there will always be some movement in the rankings due to many factors, this 2024 NFL Pre-Season Ranking is based on how many wins and losses we think each team might end up with. The Ranking system goes further into team radars that we generally use to weigh teams up against each other. However our selection process when determining who we think will win or lose a game is a different set of rules that include other factors when matching teams up before we place a bet.
This Ranking system only suggests where we think the teams will finish the season not how they will go against each team head to head.
AFC EAST
Definitely one of the more interesting divisions with Rogers back at the helm after being injured in his first game and series last year and if all goes well with his health, then the Jets team being talented on both sides of the ball could definitely make a run at winning the division. JETS RANK 10.
The Bills minus Digs could prove even more of difficult task for Josh Allen who has a history of turning the ball over and if he’s not careful with protecting the ball this year, then the Bills won’t win this division. I do however have the Bills slightly edging out the Jets to win this division. BILLS RANK 8.
Dolphins seem to continually be spoken about as one of the more talented offenses in the NFL yet it doesn’t show in results. It definitely doesn’t show in results in big games and they were simply destroyed in the postseason. If this team doesn’t perform at a higher level over last season then I’m sure the quarterback will be looked at as they definitely do have weapons on the offense and a weaker schedule to begin with. DOLPHINS RANK 12.
The Patriot’s will definitely run last in this division and possibly will have to cool their heels behind the three other teams moving forward for a few years which will be hard for fans to stomach. PATRIOTS RANK 31.

AFC NORTH
Ravens are the clear favourite in the North with a proven track record of stout Defense and an unrivalled run attack, boasting the addition of Derek Henry, should have them win this division. Question marks over this team remain though with Lamar Jackson in an unpopular debate, yet to prove himself postseason stemming from loose carries and poor decision making on where and when to run or pass. RAVENS RANK 4.
Bengals and the Browns should both have plus 500 records. The Bengals are starting the season managing Joe Burrow with the foot complaint and the Bengals have a history of poor protection with Burrow and if that continues the Bengals will quickly fade. BENGALS RANK 7.
The Browns have a handy roster but it remains to be seen if Watson can play at the level that he played at prior to him having a suspension from the NFL. BROWNS RANK 17.
The Steelers have a big challenge ahead of themselves with a weaker roster and their last eight games in the schedule could easily end with seven or even eight straight losses. STEELERS RANK 29.

AFC SOUTH
Texans are the favourite in this division and rightly so with a nice offense being assembled. CJ Stroud, the signal caller had a mighty year last year but the NFL is a tough prospect to be successful year in and year out and I’m sure Texans fans are hoping not to see a year two hangover. Joe Mixon at running back. then Diggs, Collins and Dell in the wideout positions with Shultz at tight end and a favourable schedule should have them win this division. TEXANS RANK 11.
The Jags seemed to lose their way a little bit last year and got away from running the ball in key moments and key games. I think for them to figure in a run at the division, they need to get in behind Travis Etienne’s run game. I don’t think Trevor Lawrence has lived up to the expectations that a lot of people had for him coming out of Clemson’s power offense but he has at times shown he is a capable signal caller but to say he will go on to win a Super Bowl I’m not buying that stock and I would think not. JAGS RANK 16.
The Colts were poor last year behind Anthony Richardson who had an injury plagued run, but when he was on the field, he didn’t perform at the level that people may have hoped. The team however does have some weapons with Jonathan Tayler in at running back, Pittman Jr is one of the better young prospects in the game. However, The Colts along with other NFL teams need to rely on their Defense to keep them in games, but you still have to score points. COLTS RANK 25.
Titans are nothing more than a mere speed bump in this division as this franchise is in an absolute rebuild. They likely won’t be slowing down to many teams this season. TITANS RANK 28.

AFC WEST
Chiefs are the Chiefs and everyone’s favourite again and so they should be as they are the best coached team with the best quarterback with the best record over the last few years and current Superbowl Champions. CHIEFS RANK 1.
Chargers here are a smokey as a team with the biggest upside boasting a new head coach who has a record of taking teams to championship positions and fulfilling potential. I think you’ll see Justin Herbert lead the Chargers which will surprise many and make a run deep into the postseason. CHARGERS RANK 3.
I don’t expect to see a lot of different football from the Raiders this year and it may make it a very tough prospect for a team who does not boast a top ranked signal caller with Minshew and O’Connell set to have a long tough year. RAIDERS RANK 22.
Broncos are favourite to run last in this division and possibly are even the worst team in the NFL but let’s just see what Bo Nix can muster up. BRONCOS RANK 32.

NFC EAST
Eagles start the season without centre Jason Kelce after his departure for a Podcast and commentary job which will be a definite change for Jalen Hurts and the Philly short push we are all used to. Additions of new offensive coordinator Kellan Moore (from Cowboys) and new running back Saquain Barclay (from Giants) have them favourite to win the division. EAGLES RANK 5.
Cowboys kick off without their usual highly ranked offensive line so I see them struggling a lot more on the road this year, and with their season opener in Cleveland, Dak Prescott will need to improve by winning big games or Jerry Jones will quickly change direction as Prescott’s Post season record is horrible to put it bluntly. Cowboys have enough weapons to make it to the playoffs, once again question marks then arise in winning big games. COWBOYS RANK 9.
Giants and Commanders look to both be bottom eight sides in the NFL this year. Both sides will attempt to win games with their defense and attempt to create some sort of roadblock for the Eagles and the Cowboys. GIANTS RANK 24 – COMMANDER RANK 26.

NFC NORTH
Packers favourite in the North with Jordan Love being a passing leader through weeks 11 to 18 last year, plus an addition at running back of Josh Jacobs will make them a tough prospect for anyone. Defensively when the packers kept teams around that 20 points they were able to win those games so I expect the same again this year. PACKERS RANK 6.
Lions might have a chance to contend with the Packers for the top spot in the division and it will likely come down to a game to split the two. Lions have added to their roster from last year with draft and new additions and would like their chance to make a run in the postseason. LIONS RANK 15.
Bears also have a shot at the division and have assembled a better roster with better draft picks over the last couple of years so they should be a plus five hundred team. BEARS RANK 14.
Vikings run last in this division as they’re in a rebuild. VIKINGS RANK 27.

NFC SOUTH
There always is a weakest division in the NFL and unfortunately this one wins the ticket. It’s hard to see any of these team winning a Superbowl as we have them all ranked in the middle of the NFC pack. One team however is guaranteed a Postseason spot.
Falcons are the favourites here but Kirk Cousins could easily lay an egg as he did last year which would pave a way for the Bucs to make a run at the postseason under the Baker Mayfield led offense. However, there is a big question mark about the defense with no Devon White. FALCONS RANK 18 – BUCS 19.
If the Saints and Panthers wanted to go postseason they might have to start a new division with the Giants and the Commanders, or wait until they get enough draft capital to be competitive. On serious note, the Saints have a history of making home games very difficult for visiting teams to score and i dont expect anything different this year.
Panthers are all about will he or wont he with Bryce Young, and last season was one they would like to forget. SAINTS RANK 23 – PANTHERS RANK 21.

NFC WEST
49ers are the top dog again in the NFC as to be expected with the best roster in the NFL.
Purdy however will as always be the focal point if the team takes a dip. Talented teams like this tend to need to win in a three year window before players start to move on for bigger money, so they are on the clock. 49ERS RANK 2.
Rams start life without Aaron Donald but they should have enough offense to be a plus 500 team, coaching however is something that can definitely hurt them, as it has in the past. RAMS RANK 13.
Seahawks and Gino Smith will be under immediate scrutiny with no Pete Carol at the helm and the Cardinals don’t have the roster to make a run at the post season. SEAHAWKS RANK 20 – CARDINALS RANK 30.
