5 Bold 2024 NFL predictions by Colin Cowherd: Packers QB Jordan Love for MVP?

As we enter the final week of the NFL preseason, it's time to look ahead to what could play out this season as rookie quarterbacks take over storied franchises, veteran players suit up for rival squads and looming contract negotiations … well, continue to loom.

With a little over two weeks left until the regular season kicks off, FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd boldly revealed a handful of his predictions for the upcoming year on Tuesday's episode of "The Herd."

Check out Cowherd's five bold predictions below, along with his explanation on each. 

1. New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen is first coach fired

Cowherd's thoughts: "They've missed the playoffs back-to-back years. The NFC South, Atlanta and Carolina are undoubtedly better teams … Four of the first six games for Dennis Allen are against playoff teams from last year. I don't see the juice offensively. I think Dennis is the first coach to be let go."

2. Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels wins Offensive Rookie of the Year
Jayden Daniels Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds: +475

Cowherd's thoughts: "Caleb Williams has better weapons. So, Jayden's going to have to move. He's going to have to run. I think that's going to play well. He's going to feel like R.G. III did in Washington. I don't think Caleb, with all those weapons, will have to move as much. His offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, has a reputation. He's still good with mobile quarterbacks, and he was pounding the tables for Jayden Daniels."

3. Los Angeles Rams make NFC Championship (if Matthew Stafford stays healthy)

Cowherd's thoughts: "I don't know if they can beat Detroit … [or] Green Bay. Kyren Williams. Blake Corum. Puka Nacua. Cooper Kupp. Matt Stafford. Sean McVay.
