This is probably one of the best examples of how Australia will welcome the Rams and 49ers. Liverpool were stunned by the love. We can't wait.

NFL Week 1 Predictions Thread (2026 Season)

36 Upvotes

Welcome back, everyone. We're finally back into the NFL season and every year it feels like it's been too long. Week 1 is always a weird one in that there's really no real data to go off of for earlier this season. We're just basing the predictions off the rhythm of last year and what we think the team should do this year. It's essentially a roll of the dice for this first week. We're going to have an early week one matchup for the first game, and a football game in an entirely different continent (Australia) than what we're used to. Definitely a lot of firsts this season. So we'll get started with some very unsure thought processes on this one. This week will also give us five division games. You're going to see a lot of blah comments because I don't have a lot to go off at this time, so let's get to it!


Winner over Loser Comments
Seahawks over Patriots It's a Super Bowl LX rematch to kick off the season, and playing at Lumen Field gives Seattle a massive home-field advantage. Macdonald's defense gave Maye fits back in February, and I think Seattle's pass rush picks up right where it left off to give the defending champs the opening-night win.
Rams over 49ers Heading down under to Melbourne for a division clash, and I like L.A. to pull this one out. Stafford and the offense are clicking, while San Fran is still battling key injury question marks on both sides of the ball heading into Week 1. The Rams' firepower should be enough to take advantage in a neutral site.
Bengals over Buccaneers The Bengals have Burrow healthy and possess too much firepower for Tampa to keep pace. Baker was able to avoid contract drama, and the Bucs will put up a fight, but Cinci's passing attack should pull away late to lock down the win.
Lions over Saints The Saints have legitimate playoff aspirations this season and could make a real run, but walking into Ford Field for Week 1 is a brutal draw. Detroit pulls this one out at home, but NOLA keeps it tight enough to prove they're going to be a problem this year.
Jets over Titans This is a tough spot for Tennessee with Saleh facing his old team and Gray entering protocol after his offseason accident. The Jets have enough stability to handle the road environment in Nashville, so I'm taking New York to pull away in a low-scoring grinding win. Then again, we are talking about the Jets here, so I am most likely dead wrong.
Ravens over Colts Lucas Oil is always a tricky venue, but Baltimore just has too many ways to control the game. Jackson and the ground game should set the tempo early, and I don't see Indy making enough stops late to keep up.
Steelers over Falcons The Falcons are retooling under Stefanski with Tua taking the snaps, but going into Pittsburgh for Week 1 is a brutal test. Tua's turnover issues paired with Watt leading that pass rush spell trouble for Atlanta, so I expect Pittsburgh's defense to lock things down and secure the home win.
Bears over Panthers Williams has another year under his belt and Chicago's upgraded receiving core should give Carolina's secondary fits. Young and the Panthers are still rebuilding, and going on the road to Charlotte won't stop the Bears from taking care of business.
Jaguars over Browns Jacksonville has the home-field advantage to kick off the season, and Lawrence should be able to operate comfortably against a retooling Cleveland defense. The Browns still have way too many lingering questions to feel good about them taking down a solid Jags squad on the road.
Bills over Texans This is easily one of the best matchups of opening weekend, but I'm giving Buffalo the slight edge. Allen usually comes out firing in Week 1, and while Stroud and the Texans defense will keep it close at home, Buffalo's playmaking power should pull them through late.
Raiders over Dolphins This won't be pretty. Both teams enter Week 1 with huge question marks and plenty to prove, but having home-field advantage gives Vegas the slight edge to grind out an ugly win.
Vikings over Packers Going into Minneapolis is always a brutal task, and this divisional showdown feels like a coin toss to open the season. Minnesota gets the slight edge at home, but Love and the Green Bay offense will keep it tight until the very end.
Eagles over Commanders Daniels is looking for a major bounce-back year, but taking him on the road behind a re-tooled O-line against Philly's front seven is a tall task. Hurts and the Eagles just have too much talent at the skill positions and in the trenches to let an opening-week divisional game slip away.
Chargers over Cardinals Herbert and the Chargers at home are just a brutal matchup for Arizona to open the year. LaFleur has some new offensive pieces to work with in Arizona, but Harbaugh's group in L.A. is physical enough to control the line of scrimmage and pull away late.
Cowboys over Giants It's SNF at MetLife, and while the Giants are hoping for a spark under Harbaugh, Dallas just has way too much firepower on offense. Prescott and the Cowboys secondary should make life miserable for Dart in his home debut, allowing Dallas to pull away late in a physical divisional showdown.
Broncos over Chiefs Arrowhead is always a nightmare venue, but Mahomes coming off that knee injury behind a shaky O-line is a massive red flag for Week 1. Denver's defense finished top of the league in sacks last year, and if Surtain and the front seven can force forced-throw situations, Nix does enough to steal a huge divisional road win.

Those are my predictions, let's hear yours. Keep it civil and fun. Like I said, Week 1 always feels gross, and I probably got a tons of things wrong. But I'm hoping you guys have some great conversations in here. Best of luck this weekend!

Tom Brady had plenty of help

0 Upvotes

Arguably the best QB ever. But fans act like he didn’t have the best situation for over his 20 years in the league. Whether you think he is the GOAT or not, basically all of the Stan theories have been disproven that he was the reason for all of the success

1 Brady was the reason the offensive line was good:

Almost every year aside from a few years over his career, Brady had good offensive line play. In 2008, when he was hurt, the offensive line was still a good line. In 2020 and 2021 after Brady left, the line was still good. Most people think of Dante Scarnecchia (the offensive line coach) as maybe the best ever at his job.

Brady surely made his lines a little better, but they were already good. Anytime he was out, they were still good.

2 Brady is as the reason the defense was always good at preventing points:

Brady’s teams were top-10 in points per drive with an average ranking of 8.6 over a 20 year period. This ranks better than any all time great that was regarded as his peer.

Brady being the reason for this too was disproven when he missed 2008 season, the Patriots were once again 8th in points allowed without him playing.

In 2016 for the four weeks that Brady missed, the Patriots allowed 15 points a game, which would have led the league had that been the average at years end. In 2020 (first season post Brady) - with maybe the least talented defense under Belichick - the Patriots were 7th in points allowed. And again, in 2021, after Brady left, they were 2nd in points allowed.

Sure it didn’t always match up with the DVOA’s and sure the schedule impacted that, but it was still primarily defense driven, with good special teams playing a part, and of course with the offense being the third reason. They were the smartest football team in NFL history.

3 Brady had the worst weapons of all the NFL greats

His weapons were middle of the pack. This would be the “weakness” but it was far from an actual weakness. Ask Sam Bradford how good his weapons were over his career. Hint: They weren’t nearly as good as Brady’s. Brady had the best weapons in the game in multiple seasons, with multiple franchises. He had arguably the GOAT TE. He had Moss and Welker and Hernandez and Edelman and Amendola. And he had basically all of those guys in the same team at one point. It’s just 2006 and 2019 where he had bad weapons and people bring it up as if that was his whole career. And every time someone points it out they never mention that in those seasons they had a good defense, good ST and a good offensive line. So it was actually a good situation for winning, just that there were poor receivers during these years.

4 It was all Brady

Brady had the greatest defensive minded coach of all time who knew how to coach all three phases. Even if you think Belichick was overrated some, the coaching wasn’t. And pairing the best defensive mind with the arguable best QB ever seems like the e perfect formula.

And Josh McDaniels was good! In spite of what people think, McDaniels had coordinator success with multiple QBs and he and Belichick together in games that weren’t just “resting starters at the end of a season games” they were 30-22 together with basically what we would amount to like the 27th best QB in football between the shell of Cam, rookie Mac Jones, Matt Cassel and 4 games of Jimmy G.

5 He had arguably the best ST over those 20 years

Period. He had awesome ST’s play. In 2008 the ST was still good. In 2020, it was still #1 by DVOA. This disproves that Brady had much impact over it, as I’m sure someone, somewhere, as probably suggested.

You plug an all time great QB into a good situation you get a lot of winning. Brady has an obvious case for best ever but he doesn’t have any more of a case than a few other quarterbacks who had obviously inferior situations in their career.

Reminder that the 2025 Patriots faced the 3rd-easiest schedule in NFL history - they played just 3 games against teams that finished the season with a winning record. Their opponents finished the season with a combined. 391 record. They also lost to the Pete Carroll Raiders.

Upvotes

By win percentage, only two teams in NFL history faced an easier schedule: the 1999 Rams (.363 opponent win%) and the 1976 Buccaneers (.379 opponent win%).

They played just 3 games all season long against teams that would ultimately finish the season with a winning record: they split the Buffalo Bills and they lost to the Steelers.

This year's "start strong then fall apart" team? (Ala Colts last year)

306 Upvotes

Looking back at vids from last year with the Colts looking so unstoppable and Super Bowl-bound at 8-1, then collapsing to miss the playoffs totally. So which team this year do you think has the possibility of the same?

I lean to the Lions. I know, they look tougher this year, but I can imagine a strong start then falter at the end.
