Why it matters
NFL season predictions are a staple of sports journalism, driving fan engagement and betting interest ahead of the league's kickoff.
The Rams will finally get some revenge on the Eagles this season.
The 2026 NFL season begins tomorrow night, so it's time to lay out our predictions on who will be good, who will be bad, who will win the Super Bowl, and which individual players will shine.
1) Lions : The Lions aren't as good as the Rams or Seahawks (or even the Eagles, in my opinion), but they have the easiest schedule in the NFL and they're going to win a lot of games.
2) Rams : The Rams are the most hyped team in the league, as well they should be after their bold move to trade for Myles Garrett and the subsequent unretirement by Aaron Donald.
