The NFC West is loaded entering the 2026 NFL season, but one team stole the offseason. After finishing just one win away from an NFC West title and one win away from the Super Bowl, the Rams doubled down by trading for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie while signing Jaylen Watson to pair with the NFL's best offense led by Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua. Can the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks repeat? Will the injury-plagued 49ers overcome another wave of injuries? Can the Cardinals begin a new era behind Mike LaFleur and No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love? In this episode, we predict every NFC West team's record, break down every schedule game-by-game, and reveal our final NFC West standings for the 2026 NFL season.

Will the Lions bounce back after missing the playoffs in their first year without Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn? Can the Packers overcome Micah Parsons' ACL injury and continue their playoff streak with Jordan Love? And can Caleb Williams lead the Bears to back-to-back NFC North titles after an 11-win season, a division championship, and a playoff victory in Ben Johnson's first year? In this episode, we break down every NFC North roster, predict every team's schedule game-by-game, give our official win total predictions, and reveal our final NFC North standings for the 2026 NFL season.

The AFC North enters the 2026 NFL season looking completely different, and every team has massive questions to answer. The Browns moved on from Myles Garrett, trading for Jared Verse, rookie KC Concepcion, and more draft capital while rebuilding the offense with Spencer Fano, five new offensive line starters, and Todd Monken replacing Kevin Stefanski. But who will lead Cleveland at quarterback: Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson? The Bengals may have the best roster of the Joe Burrow era. With Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, an upgraded offensive line, and a defense that added Dexter Lawrence and Bryan Cook, can a healthy Burrow finally get Cincinnati over the hump? After a disappointing injury-filled season, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are looking to return to the top of the AFC with Jesse Minter replacing John Harbaugh and Trey Hendrickson joining the defense. The Steelers enter a new era with Mike McCarthy replacing Mike Tomlin after nearly 20 years, while Aaron Rodgers returns for one final season. Can Pittsburgh keep their winning streak alive, or is this finally the year they fall off? In this episode, we break down every AFC North roster, predict every team's schedule game-by-game, give our official win total predictions, and reveal our final AFC North standings for the 2026 NFL season.

The NFC South could be the most unpredictable division in football entering the 2026 NFL season. Last year, all four teams finished within just two wins of each other, with the Panthers, Buccaneers, and Falcons winning 8 games and the Saints finishing with 6. Can Bryce Young prove he's the franchise quarterback and lead Carolina to back-to-back NFC South titles after the Panthers loaded up on defense with Devin Lloyd and Jaelan Phillips? Can Baker Mayfield bounce back in a contract year after injuries derailed Tampa Bay's season? Will Atlanta's front office overhaul, Kevin Stefanski, and the quarterback battle between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. finally unlock the Falcons? And can Tyler Shough, Joryn Tyson, Travis Etienne, and Kellen Moore turn the Saints into a playoff team? In this episode, we break down every NFC South roster, predict every team's schedule game-by-game, give our official win total predictions, and reveal our final NFC South standings for the 2026 NFL season.

In this episode of BallGame Podcast, we predict the NFL players most likely to regress during the 2026 season. Which stars are being overrated heading into the year? Can Alec Pierce actually live up to his massive $30 million contract? Is Baker Mayfield bound to keep declining as injuries pile up and contract uncertainty surrounds his future? Can A.J. Brown return to being a top 5 receiver after joining the Patriots? Is DK Metcalf still an elite receiver, or is the decline already starting? We also debate whether the Seahawks can replace Kenneth Walker's production with rookie Jadarian Price, whether Christian McCaffrey can sustain greatness after another 400+ touch season, if DJ Moore can finally become the WR1 Buffalo has been searching for, and whether Terry McLaurin is due for regression after an injury-filled season. These are the players we believe have the most to prove heading into 2026.

We also debate who the best tackle in the NFC East is between Andrew Thomas, Lane Johnson, Laremy Tunsil, and Jordan Mailata. Is James Cook a top 5 running back in the NFL after another dominant season? And who would you rather have right now — Christian Gonzalez or De'Von Achane?
