PRO Picks
Here we go … the 2026 -2027 NFL Season. Will the Seattle Seahawks defend their Super Bowl championship from last season? Are the LA Rams the team to beat? Will the Bucs make it back into the playo s? I will do my best to give you my thoughts on the season and tell you what team will win it all!!
AFC EAST
and an improved defense.
The Colts will win their share of games but I don’t think they can win the division. 4) Tennessee Titans – Last year QB Can Ward got better as the year went on. He has WRs Carnel Tate, Wan’Dale Robinson & Calvin Ridley plus RB Tony Pollard. The Titans will win their share of games and they could shock people. AFC WEST 1) Denver
1) Bu alo Bills – Is QB Josh Allen the best quarterback in football? Can the Bills nally make it back to a Super Bowl? They
open 2) Baltimore Ravens – QB Lamar Jackson needs to stay healthy and Derrick Henry needs to keep doing what he does best … run a lot and score TDs. Zay Flowers is WR1 and TE is Mark Andrews. Ravens will be ghting for the division crown. 3) Pittsburgh Steelers – New RB Rico Dowdle and new WR Michael Pittman will help but it will be hard for the Steelers to nish above .500 again. The team has a new head coach and QB Aaron Rodgers is playing his last year. 4) Cleveland Browns – The word is Deshaun Watson will be the starting QB beating out Shedeur Sanders. Quinshon Judkins is the starting RB and Jerry Jeudy is the top WR. Can you say help ??? AFC SOUTH 1) Houston Texans – Last year the Texans had a nice from CJ Stroud. RB David Montgomery comes over from Detroit and the defense is top notch. Look for Houston to win this close division. 2) Jacksonville Jaguars – Trevor Lawrence was solid last season and he has two good RBs in Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez. Jakobi Meyers and Travis Hunter lead the WRs and the defense is solid. Look for the Jags to win this division if Houston stumbles. 3) Indianapolis Colts – Daniel Jones will be the QB and Jonathan Taylor once again will be the top RB. Look for Alec Pierce to have a big year along with TE Tyler Warren. season and WR Nico Collins will once again be catching balls
added WR DJ Moore, they still have a great RB in James Cook and they will move into a new stadium this year … sounds like a receipt for success to me! 2) New England Patriots – They made it to the Super Bowl last year but played the easiest schedule in the league … that’s not the case in 2026! I like QB Drake Maye and they added a great receiver in AJ Brown but the Pats should make the playo s but not return to the championship game this season. 3) Miami Dolphins – Bye Bye Tua and hello Malik Willis at QB. This team will go as far as RB De’Von Achane can take them. The WR group is questionable and it looks like a long year in South Florida. 4) New York Jets – Another year and another losing season for the Jets. The new QB will be the old QB Geno Smith. RB Breece Hall and WR Garrett Wilson are solid but this team needs a lot of help! AFC NORTH
Broncos – I like QB Bo Nix. Even his name is cool … Bo Nix! The team added WR Jaylen Waddle to go with Courtland Sutton.
RB JK Dobbins needs to stay healthy and the defense is one of the league’s best. It’s Mile High time in Denver! 2) San Diego Chargers – Look for RB Omarion Hampton to rebound from a broken ankle and big years from WRs Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. QB Justin Herbert should be a pro-bowl candidate. The Chargers will give Denver all they want! 3) Kansas City Chiefs – Can QB Patrick Mahomes come back from a torn ACL? He will never be the Mahomes we saw in the past, but he is still a solid #1 quarterback. The Chefs added Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and he should x the running game. Am I doing right underestimating the Chiefs … time will tell! 4) Las Vegas Raiders – The Raiders are still rebuilding but the addition of QB Kirk Cousins and the drafting of QB Fernando Mendoza has the team headed in the right direction. Ashton Jeanty is the top RB and Brock Bowers the top TE.
1) Cincinnati Bengals – I’m going out on a limb and picking the Bengals to win this division. I’m hoping QB Joe Burrow stays
out of the hospital and throws a ton of TDs to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Look for a big year from RB Chase Brwon
