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.
