NFL 2025/26 Whose your pick?

[pirateglenn]

It's one of my favourite times of the year and Autumn here over the pond means one thing - its pigskin time!
Having backed the Chiefs last season from gun to tape - I'm going for the Baltimore Ravens to win.
Late night football for me here in the UK but hell its worth it with a few games no doubt scheduled for the UK (jacksonville you love us).

I also pray for my FINS to make play offs...

Who is your pick guys? Lets play ball!

Eagles!
Last year Eagles played against Packers in Sao Paulo-BR and I was there for my 1st ever live football game. It was amazing!

Eagles won that game, and made me support they from now on.
Later they ended up winning the super bowl
(before that when I only have watched on tv, I used to support Colts, but nahh, nevermind)

Is this the year for the Broncos?

A lot of knowledgeable people in the game are talking them up as dark horses this coming season..

For as much parody as the NFL has at times, I fear that this will look like Groundhog Day - similar to the NBA when the Cavs and Warriors met in the NBA Final year after year.

I have a hard time believing that Kansas City and Buffalo won't meet in the AFC Championship and as much as I absolutly despise the Bills (I love the Dolphins after all), I do feel bad that they continue to be snake bitten and cursed and I don't see how that changes this year. If the Championship is in KC, the Chiefs will beat them again.

The NFC there is no reason that the Eagles won't get through again. There are teams that are better this year - Green Bay for example, but my gut tells me that we are getting a re-match of last year's Super Bowl again, and again, I see the Eagles winning.

Obviously injuries and massive trades could change this, but as of today, give me the Eagles beating the Chiefs in February.

I hope the Seattle Seahawks don't do so badly this year. They hired Cooper Kupp, I hope he does well this year. The NFL is amazing.

I can see an improved season for the seahawks and in terms of Chiefs and Eagles - it would be a fool and his money to not back at least one of these for the big prize.
Looking outside of those big 2 - can the bills deliver more consistently and be the destructive force they can be, will the packers run better offensively this season and what is going on with the Cowboys...money doesn't always buy you the best..going to be massively interesting this season.

Eagles win! Chiefs lose the opening games.
This is going to be an interesting season.
Got my paramount + subscription sorted so bunkering down to watch my FINS away at the colts tomorrow night my time.

GOOOOOO FINS!!

Total domination by Colts over my beloved FINS- we were never at the races but game of the night has to be from the Highmark Stadium where Bills edged the Ravens 41-40 in an absolute classic.
Pretty sure these two teams will be in the mix come play offs and it would not surprise me to see one of these make the SB this season.
Early days yet..
Denver Broncos also won beating the titans 20-12.

Here is a round up of this weekends scores with some solid notables wins for the Falcons, the giants winning a thriller at the cowboys and another thriller with the colts winning by 1 point at home v my dark horse early prediction the broncos.

Sadly after a second quarter revival, my beloved FINS crashed to a home defeats versus the Pats.

It was a historic games with history made as the Dolphins took the lead thanks to a stunning 74-yard punt return touchdown from Malik Washington.

But the New England Patriots then scored on the resulting kick-off thanks to Antonio Gibson's even better 90-yard touchdown run. That incredible back-to-back sequence has only happened once before in NFL history.

The Patriots eventually won 33-27.

Fire coach McDanields please and switch to QB, Tua is very bad

The Chiefs are still my pick. As long as Mahomes is leading the offense, they always have a chance to go all the way. Even when they lose key players, they somehow find a way to stay competitive and dangerous.

I also think their playoff experience gives them an edge. They’ve been in so many big games over the past few years, and that kind of confidence is hard to match. If their defense holds up, it’s tough to bet against them.

That said, the AFC is stacked this season. Teams like the Ravens, Bills, and Bengals could all make a serious run. It feels like every week is going to be a battle, which makes it even more fun to watch.
