The NFL is back, and football season is officially here.
In the first episode of our 2026 NFL preseason series, we're breaking down the teams we're buying heading into the season. These are the franchises we believe are primed to exceed expectations, provide value in the futures market, and become some of our favorite teams to back throughout the year.
We explain why we're bullish on potential division contenders like the Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, and New Orleans Saints, while also highlighting exciting young teams such as the Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders. We even make the case for a few long-shot teams, including the New York Jets, that could outperform the market and surprise the NFL this season.
In this episode, we cover:
- Our favorite NFL teams to buy before the 2026 season
- Division winner and playoff futures we like
- Season win total value
- Key offseason additions and roster improvements
- Coaching changes that could make a major impact
- Schedule analysis and strength of schedule
- Which teams we'll be backing throughout the season
