Team Total Wins

Chicago Bears over 9.5 wins (+100, DraftKings)

Chicago has their work cut out for them in the NFC North. They were the surprise of the NFC last season going 11-6 in the regular season and then taking the Rams to OT in the Divisional playoff. Coach Ben Johnson, along with QB Caleb Williams are out to prove that last season wasn't a fluke. The NFC North is traditionally one of the most competitive divisions in all of the NFL, and the Bears now have a target on their backs. We've seen that they can gut it out and win in close games, but time will tell if they've grown as a team now in Johnson's second year as coach and can start stringing together some dominant wins. Just as a side not, the Bears are currently getting +108 to make the playoffs this season.

Make the Playoffs

Kansas City Chiefs (-186, FanDuel)

The Chiefs' dominant run in the AFC West came to screeching halt last season as they finished 6-11 including dropping the last 6 in a row. With QB Patrick Mahomes going down with an injury and not playing in the final three games of the season. Coach Andy Reid will look to right the ship this season and a healthy Mahomes is a big part of that equation. The health and longevity of key players like Travis Kelce, Creed Humphrey and Chris Jones is still a question mark for the Chiefs this season, so a savvy bettor (and Chiefs fan) might want to wait a while on this one to see where the line is at once the season gets a bit closer.

Super Bowl Winner

Buffalo Bills (8% Yes, Polymarket)

Can the Bills and Josh Allen finally catch a break? After finishing 12-5 last season, Buffalo lost in the Divisional Playoff to the Broncos in OT. Buffalo has made the playoffs every season since 2019, but they've yet to make it to the Super Bowl with Allen as QB. It's not going to get any easier for the Bills, especially if the Patriots continue to progress, we may see Buffalo's power in the AFC East begin to fade. If this year is really Super Bowl or Bust for Allen and the Bills then I expect them to go for broke this season.

NFL Leading Rusher

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (+600 BetMGM)

After finishing among the league's top rushers over the past two seasons, Robinson enters 2026 with all the ingredients needed to capture his first rushing title. Atlanta has fully committed to him as its featured back, giving him one of the largest projected workloads in the NFL while continuing to lean on one of the league's strongest run-blocking offensive lines. Robinson is also one of football's most explosive playmakers, combining elite vision, patience, and breakaway speed with the ability to create yards after contact. Unlike many of the other contenders, Robinson rarely leaves the field, allowing him to pile up rushing attempts while remaining a dangerous receiving threat that keeps defenses honest. Robinson's combination of youth, durability, offensive opportunity, and proven production makes him the player to beat. If Atlanta's offense performs as expected and Robinson stays healthy throughout the 17-game schedule, he has an excellent opportunity to lead the NFL in rushing yards for the first time in his career.

NFL Leading Receiver

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (+600, Caesars Sportsbook)

Chase has developed into one of the NFL's most explosive playmakers, combining elite speed, physicality, and route-running with outstanding chemistry alongside quarterback Joe Burrow. Cincinnati's offense remains one of the league's most pass-heavy attacks, creating plenty of opportunities for Chase to produce week after week. While Puka Nacua (+550) sits just ahead of him in the betting market, Chase offers tremendous value thanks to his consistent target share and proven ability to turn routine catches into game-changing plays. Chase has already established himself as one of football's premier receivers, and his combination of durability, big-play ability, and red-zone dominance gives him a legitimate chance to finish atop the NFL receiving leaderboard. As long as Burrow remains healthy, Chase should once again rank among the league leaders in targets, receptions, and explosive plays. With defenses forced to respect Cincinnati's talented receiving corps, Chase continues to find favorable matchups throughout the season.
