The 2026 NFL season is almost here, so we're putting our hottest takes on the record before Week 1.

Could the Giants make the playoffs AND win a playoff game? Will Baker Mayfield throw for 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns? Could C.J. Stroud actually get benched while the Texans still finish with the best record in football? We also debate the Chiefs missing the playoffs again, the Packers finishing last in the NFC North, the 49ers missing the postseason, Omarion Hampton leading the NFL in touchdowns, the Saints winning the NFC South and more.

These takes could look genius by January... or absolutely terrible.

The NFC East enters the 2026 NFL season with four teams facing massive questions. The Eagles are still loaded around Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, but after a first-round playoff exit, trading A.J. Brown, and changing offensive coordinators, is it Super Bowl or bust in Philadelphia? Can Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens carry Dallas back to the playoffs? Will a healthy Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin get Washington back on track? And can John Harbaugh turn around the Giants with a young core of Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, and No. 5 overall pick Arvell Reese? We predict every team's schedule game-by-game, give our win total picks, and reveal our final NFC East standings for the 2026 NFL season.
