I don't think I've ever gotten it right once, but it's still a good time. So, I came up with 10 early predictions.
Before you dive into these 2026 predictions, remember how absurd an accurate preseason 2025 prediction would have looked. The Seahawks and Patriots were both outside the top 16 for preseason Super Bowl odds. We didn't even know if Jaxon Smith-Njigba could be a WR1 yet, let alone the WR1. The NFL is far harder to figure out a couple of weeks out, let alone a few months, than we want it to be.
As such, I tried to balance feasibility and outlandishness with these 10 bold preseason predictions. I refuse to be held accountable for any of them when the Saints inevitably go 3-14 or Myles Garrett has six sacks in his first season with the Rams. Let's get started with some statistical picks.
