CINCINNATI — The 2020 NFL season began on Thursday night with the Chiefs dismantling the Texans. There are 15 more Week 1 games on Sunday and Monday. 

With the season underway, Sports Illustrated team publishers all over the country made their predictions for 2020. 

The Chiefs were picked to repeat as Super Bowl champions by five of the 18 SI team publishers that gave their predictions. 

The Saints were second with four votes, followed by the Buccaneers (3) and the Ravens (2). The Cowboys, 49ers and Steelers were each picked once.

The Saints were the most popular pick to reach the Super Bowl, receiving nine votes, followed by Kansas City with eight and Baltimore with six.

The Bengals and the Jaguars were unanimous picks to finish last in their division, even though I think they'll be much better than they were in 2019.

Check out my predictions for all six divisions, plus my Super Bowl pick below. 

AFC EAST

1. Buffalo Bills (10-6)

2. New England Patriots (9-7)

3. Miami Dolphins (6-10)

4. New York Jets 6-10

2. Cleveland Browns (9-7)

3. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8)

4. Cincinnati Bengals (7-9)

2. Houston Texans (10-6)

2. Denver Broncos (8-8)

3. Los Angeles Chargers (8-8)

4. Las Vegas Raiders (6-10)

1. Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)

2. Dallas Cowboys (9-7)

3. New York Giants (6-10)

4. Washington Football Team (3-13)

1. Green Bay Packers (10-6)

2. Minnesota Vikings (9-7)

2. Seattle Seahawks (9-7)

3. Los Angeles Rams (8-8)

4. Arizona Cardinals (7-9)

Super Bowl: Tampa Bay over Baltimore — I have the Ravens squeaking by the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. It's only a matter of time until Lamar Jackson leads his team deep into the playoffs. Unfortunately for them, they run into the greatest quarterback of all-time. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers may have some early season struggles, but they'll be firing on all cylinders by the end of the season. Tampa Bay upsets Baltimore in Super Bowl LV.

Check out the picks from other SI Team Publishers below.
