Seth Rollins· Jul 23, 2026
Guest host Seth Rollins named the Miami Dolphins his No. 1 sleeper team, saying they'll outperform expectations, finish ahead of the Jets and at least third in the AFC East, but won't win the division. He also predicted Myles Garrett will break his own single-season sack record given the Rams' elite offense.
“They're gonna finish ahead of the Jets. That's a guarantee right now.”
