NFL 2025/26 Season

I have three teams improving on last season. New England will have natural improvement from the QB's second season and also the head coach recruitment (for me Vrable is a top ten head coach).

I think Arizona have filled some of their holes, and if the offensive line can protect Kyler and give him some more time to deliver to their weapons they can improve.

And my third improver is Tennessee. They have filled some holes through the draft, their old QB was holding them back and if the rookie can find his feet they have the talent to at least be competitive against most teams. They are in a weaker division and I am not saying they will make the playoffs but I have no doubt they will improve on their 4 wins from last season.

I was relieved when Scary Terry signed with the Redskins. The Eagles look to have improved, certainly at least in depth. 

Teams like Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago, L.A Chargers and Jacksonville have all improved in areas they needed to so they could improve.   

The season preview to come next week!

 

Losing Jacobi Meyers, if the current negotiations go badly, will be a blow though

I will put my list of the 32 teams first and then go through the divisions and play offs.

The scores you will see are out of 800. There are eight categories and each category is worth 100.

The categories are:

Schedule

Division

Head Coach

Coordinators

Recruitment

Roster

Offense Units

Defense Units

I will put the team name, the record I have them at and the score.

Okay now for the list.

Standings: Houston 10-7

                Tennessee 8-9

                Jacksonville 7-10

                Indianapolis - 3-14

Overview: Houston should make it back to back division titles. Jacksonville have added some quality pieces through the draft and free agency but it will take time for them to gel and while they have relatively easy schedule they still need to show me they can operate as one unit. This is make or break for Lawrence, he needs to reach his potential level or he might be looking for a new home. Indianapolis are in huge trouble at QB. Last seasons offense was not great anyway and this uncertainty will see them have a troubled season, which could cost the head coach and GM their jobs. Tennessee have the same issue coming into this season losing a heap of close games. The record I have them at will obviously depend a lot on the QB but he has good solid players in the secondary (no stars but they can do their job), and he has top 8 Running Back who can take some pressure off his passing game. It will all come down to their start to the season. The first 9 weeks leading into their bye week sees them face some teams who should improve and some who are as skilled as them so while they will probably not start favorite for any of those nine games, they do have the ability to win all of them!    

NFC East

Standings: Philladelphia 14-3

                Washington 10-7

                Dallas - 5-12

                New York Giants 0-17

Overview: Clearly the best team in the NFC here and they should grab another division. I know the sophomore syndrome may hit Jayden but until it does I can see no reason why the Redskins will not continue challenging for a play offs berth. Not sure what Jerry Jones has been smoking, but moving your best player on does not make you a better team (just ask Pittsburgh who paid TJ Watt). Dallas were already in a down season but they may actually get a higher draft pick next year. I apologise to any Giants fans but have you seen their schedule. Not only do they have the Eagle and redskins twice each, but they then face the 49ers, Chiefs, Chargers, Green Bay, Denver and Detroit. They could beat the Raiders, Vikings and New England but I would not bet on it. 

Standings: Tampa Bay 12-5

                 Atlanta 8-9

                 New Orleans 3-14

                 Carolina 2-15

Overview: I have watched Tampa Bay in the preseason and yes I know that usuallu means nothing, but I think they have built up their depth and I am seeing Baker go on a run this season. Atlanta have some very nice pieces in place. It should be enough to overcome their Tennessee and Las Vegas sickness of losing close games, will it be enough to make the play offs, not sure as a lot of NFC teams have improved as well. New Orleans have about two more seasons to go to fully recover from their salary cap pressures while Carolina could shock some but Bryce needs to show me he can be good from the beginning of a season and not just grab some meaningless wins late in the season. 

Finally Having a QB that can hit a target, reasonably consistently, will see that happen. The defense need to improve but some signings seem to have helped

Philadelphia giving Dallas 7.5 start.

Kansas City to defeat Chargers by 6. 

Arizona to defeat New Orleans by 9.

Jacksonville to defeat Carolina by 7.

Tampa Bay to defeat Atlanta by 4.

Pittsburgh to defeat New York Jets by 6.

Cincinatti to defeat Browns by 2 points. Take the Browns with the start.

Miami to defeat Indianapolis by 10.

New England to defeat Las Vegas by 7.

Washington to defeat New York Giants by 14.

Denver to defeat Tennessee by 12.

San Francisco to defeat Seattle by 4.

Green Bay to defeat Detroit by 6.

Houston to defeat Los Angeles rams by 3.

Buffalo to defeat Baltimore by 6.

Good luck to those who have a team this season!
