But this should be the worst team in football next year... the other two teams should be the two worst teams in the NFL in my eyes, in the Dolphins and the Jets.
I still think they're probably last... I give them the edge because I still like Daniels... I think it's Eagles in Dallas for this for the division, and then the other two are and I don't think they're playoff teams.

Yahoo Sports, Frank Schwab has got the Chiefs ranked twelfth just ahead of the 40 niners, the headline here. Number 12, Kansas City Chiefs.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jul 21, 2026 It's a pretty clear top three teams in the NFL for you too, in terms of DVOA, it's the Seahawks, Rams, and the Texans.
to have him go from fifth to fourteenth, which is where they're projected... seventeenth and eighteenth overall in DVOWAY... the projections actually had the Dolphins at twenty sixth in DVOA... I was a little stunned that you had them thirty first in DVOA
And Cleveland is the worst team in the league.
Ranking the best starting lineups in the NFL... Best projected starting lineups. 2,026 NFL rosters. This was put together by Seth Walder, Aaron Schatz... The Rams are one... Eagles are two... the Seahawks are three... the Ravens are five... Detroit is six... Seven is the Patriots. Eight is the Broncos. The Texans are nine, and the Packers are 10... Chargers are 13, Cowboys 14, the Bengals 15... the Bears are 17.
- PendingThat Football ShowPower Rankings2026 season
The Rams lead the ass list as the sole proprietor of badass... Bills, niners, not ass... Chiefs, Texans, Bears, Seahawks, kinda ass... Ass. Packers, Ravens, Patriots, Eagles, Broncos, Lions... Super ass. Chargers, Giants, Cowboys, Bengals, Jags, Steelers, Mega Ass, Falcons, Bucks, Vikings, Super Mega Ass, Colts, Commanders, Panthers, Saints, ultra super mega ass... Browns, Raiders, Titans, and then Jets. Jets, Dolphins, Cardinals.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jun 29, 2026 It is Jets, Dolphins, and Cardinals... Panthers, Titans, Raiders, Browns... I do have the Colts in there... I have Minnesota in that tier. I have Atlanta in that tier, and I have New Orleans... the Jacksonville Jaguars, the David Beckhamers... the Pittsburgh Steelers... and the New York Giants... I've got the Eagles. I've got the Cowboys. I've got the Bengals, the Lions, and the Bears... I had the Patriots, the Broncos, the Packers, and the Chargers... I've got the Niners... the Texans... the Ravens in kinda ass... The Seahawks... I have the Chiefs and the kinda ass tier... The Bills are the only team I have in Not Ass... Rams are badass for me.
I have three teams into my Jets tier. And I do have the Jets... I also have the Dolphins... I have the Cardinals... Browns and Raiders... The Titans... I have Washington... I have the Colts... Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa, Carolina... I have Minnesota... I have the Giants here... the Chargers... Packers, Steelers, Bengals, Cowboys, Ravens, Pats, Jags, all seven of them on the Astaire... I also have Houston... I have Denver here for me... I have Philadelphia here for me... I have Detroit. I have Chicago. I have Kansas City... So I have the Bills and the Niners in not ass... I have the Rams, and I have Seattle.
To me, the Chiefs should be no lower than seventh... But I think Chiefs are, like, six or seven. You could even argue higher.
I and the Rams are the best team in the league... In a vacuum, that's the best team in football in my opinion
number five, the the game against the Niners... So number four for me, I'm gonna go with Cincinnati... They're my number three? ... Two for me is is the game against the Rams... So it is number one for me... It is the game that matches a really good team... That Buffalo game
I'm gonna say the week two game against the Indianapolis Colts... number four for me... I think it's actually going to be the Seahawks game... My number three for me is gonna be that Patriots game... the Bills at number two for me... My number one is the Rams
I think the Rams are built to win it this year... the Rams are the best team that they face on the schedule. Like, the constructed wise, like, how the roster is I think that they're the best team on the schedule.
We're doing the way too early power less rankings. These are the bottom 10, guys... Number 23 is the New York Football Giants... Number 24... Washington Commanders... I got the Colts here at 25... Number 26, I got the Falcons... '28, I got the Cleveland Browns... 29, I got the Raiders... 30, the Jets... '31, I got the Dolphins. And '32, I got the Cardinals.
Our our guy, Gilberto Manzano had a list, picking the NFC North one through four... he had the lines winning the NFC North... Chicago Bears coming in second place... Minnesota Vikings ahead of the Green Bay Packers... Green Bay Packers finishing last
I'll stick with the one I gave the last time you asked a version of this question. I had a Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota.
Rich Eisen's 10-team "way, way, way too early" power rankings: 10 Ravens, 9 49ers, 8 Eagles, 7 Patriots, 6 Bears, 5 Cowboys, 4 Broncos, 3 defending Super Bowl champs, 2 Chargers, 1 Rams
they're expected to win by a little over six points. 6.3 points, number one in the NFL... You have to go a full point below at 5.3 on the ex mauve with those Seattle Seahawks... The Bills are third with 4.1. And then the Chiefs... fourth at 3.1. The chargers fifth at 2.9... tied with the Broncos
the top 10 most complete rosters in the 2026 season. Again, same narrative being pushed to your Rams at one, Seahawks at two. The interesting thing, the Eagles jumped to number three.

they also had the Rams as the best looking after a couple of days of voluntary OTAs. They had the niners coming in, at tenth. They, had I know the Seahawks were third. The Rams were first as well.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said May 12, 2026 most of them, at least, agreeing with what we probably think, Rams, not in the top five, not number four, not three, not number two behind those dirty Seahawks or anything like that. The number one roster in the NFL
So to me, Bears Lions, then I have the Green Bay, then I have Minnesota.
Edholm, nfl.com. Number one, Seattle, defending champs. Number two, Rams. Number three, Denver. Four, Buffalo... Chargers at twelve. 13. Your Detroit lions... Ed Holm had the Packers 16 within the division... he's got the Vikings at, oh god, 28... Eric Edholm has the Cardinals at 32, Jets at 31, Dolphins at 30.
