BallGame Podcast

Four weeks into the 2026 NFL season, we're starting to find out which teams and quarterbacks are actually FOR REAL.

We start by ranking our TOP 5 QBs in the NFL right now after the first month of the season. Who has played their way into the top five, who gets left out, and who has been the best quarterback in football so far?

Then Dean makes the case that the Raiders are a LEGIT playoff team even after their 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. Las Vegas is 3-1, so we go game-by-game through the rest of the Raiders' schedule and predict their final record.

Matt takes it even further with the 3-1 Giants, claiming New York is going to WIN the NFC East. We predict every remaining Giants game to find out whether they can actually hold onto the division lead and make a run at the playoffs.

Finally, what is WRONG with the Eagles? Philadelphia has now lost two straight games, and after another ugly offensive performance against the Rams, we break down what's gone wrong and how concerned Eagles fans should be.

Drop your TOP 5 QBs in the comments and let us know your final record predictions for the Raiders and Giants!

NFL Week 4 is HERE, and we're predicting EVERY game on the schedule.

The Chiefs and Raiders put their undefeated 3-0 records on the line in a massive AFC West matchup. The 3-0 49ers take on the Broncos, the Rams and Eagles both look to bounce back after tough Week 3 losses, and the Chargers desperately try to avoid falling to 0-4 against Seattle. We also have Colts vs. Commanders kicking off the NFL's London slate, Packers vs. Buccaneers, Lions vs. Panthers on Sunday Night Football, and Falcons vs. Saints to close out the week on Monday night.

Who stays undefeated? Which struggling team finally turns its season around? And where are the Week 4 UPSETS coming?

Three weeks into the 2026 NFL season, it's time to figure out where EVERY team actually stands.

We start with our instant Monday Night Football reaction after the Bears shocked the Eagles 27-7. With Caleb Williams sidelined, Case Keenum stepped in and threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while Chicago's defense forced three turnovers in a dominant primetime win.

We rank ALL 32 NFL teams after Week 3 — from the legitimate Super Bowl contenders at the top of the league to the teams whose seasons are already starting to fall apart.

After three weeks of football, which teams are actually FOR REAL? Who are we still not buying? Which preseason contenders have disappointed us? And which surprise teams deserve to be taken seriously?

Drop your NFL tier list in the comments and let us know which team we ranked WAY too high or way too low.

One week into the 2026 NFL season and we're already ready to completely overreact.

The Bears dropped 59 POINTS on Carolina as Caleb Williams accounted for four touchdowns. Jaxson Dart threw three touchdowns with zero interceptions as the Giants beat Dallas 28-20. The 49ers dominated one of the NFC's most hyped teams in a 27-7 win over the Rams, while Lamar Jackson and Baltimore opened the year with a 41-23 blowout of Indianapolis.

Are the Giants already PLAYOFF BOUND? Could the Bears have the best offense we've seen in a decade? Are the 49ers legitimate Super Bowl contenders? Will the Jets fight for a playoff spot after their 23-10 Week 1 win? Should Green Bay FIRE Matt LaFleur after getting blown out by Minnesota? Did the Chargers make a mistake bringing in Mike McDaniel? Can Drake Maye ever win the big game? And are the Ravens going to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl?

It's only Week 1. We're overreacting anyway.

The 2026 NFL season is almost here, so we're putting our hottest takes on the record before Week 1.

Could the Giants make the playoffs AND win a playoff game? Will Baker Mayfield throw for 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns? Could C.J. Stroud actually get benched while the Texans still finish with the best record in football? We also debate the Chiefs missing the playoffs again, the Packers finishing last in the NFC North, the 49ers missing the postseason, Omarion Hampton leading the NFL in touchdowns, the Saints winning the NFC South and more.

These takes could look genius by January... or absolutely terrible.
