AFC South win totals: Don’t believe the hype around Colts, Jaguars regressions

There are surprises in the NFL every single year, but the AFC South ended up being one of the most interesting divisions this past season. The Jacksonville Jaguars came out of seemingly nowhere with Liam Coen to win the division with a 13-4 record. The Houston Texans weren’t too far behind at 12-5 thanks to one of the best defenses in the league.

The Indianapolis Colts looked like the best team in the NFL after an 8-2 start, but then the wheels fell off as Daniel Jones attempted to play through a fractured fibula.  As for the Tennessee Titans, they are still

AFC North win totals: Take the Over on Joe Burrow and the remade Bengals defense

The AFC North is going to be very different in 2026. Mike Tomlin is no longer with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Baltimore Ravens fired John Harbaugh and the Cleveland Browns parted ways with two-time NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski. Who would have thought Zac Taylor would be the longest-tenured coach in the division entering 2026?

What’s fascinating about the AFC North is that every fan base is upset with how this past season went. The Steelers won the division thanks to a missed field goal from Tyler Loop, but they never appeared to be a serious contender that had

AFC East win totals: Take the Over on Josh Allen and the Bills in 2026

After a change at head coach and an offseason spending spree, the New England Patriots found a way to go from 13 losses to the Super Bowl. Quarterback Drake Maye took a major step forward in Year 2 and finished as the MVP runner-up, while Mike Vrabel won NFL Coach of the Year. However, there’s no getting around the fact that New England played the easiest schedule in the NFL, and faced a backup QB in the conference championship game. The Patriots are expected to lose more than three games in 2026, but how many more?

There’s legitimate optimism surrounding the New York Giants in 2026. They have a proven, Super Bowl-winning head coach in John Harbaugh, a potential franchise quarterback in Jaxson Dart and one of the most fun running backs in the NFL in Cam Skattebo.

The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State was quick to endear himself to NFL fans with his physical running style, dedication to the art of headbutting, and his touchdown celebration which includes a backflip. In his first eight NFL games played, Skattebo rushed 101 times for 410 yards and five touchdowns, and caught 24 passes for 207 yards and

Let’s go back in our time machines and revisit the 2020 NFL offseason. The league agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, paving the way for a 17-game regular season. A global pandemic forced Roger Goodell to host the NFL Draft from his basement. However, the real headline from that offseason was Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After nine AFC Championships, six Super Bowl victories, 14 Pro Bowls, and 20 years building a dynasty, the greatest quarterback and coach in NFL history parted ways. It was a hotly debated topic: who was most responsible for the

The Seahawks couldn’t have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy without their new WR1, Jaxon Smith-Njigba. JSN caught 119 passes for a league-leading 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns in the regular season, which earned him Offensive Player of the Year honors, plus a record four-year, $168.6 million extension that made him the highest-paid wide receiver in
