Which NFL Teams Are Actually Good? We Checked the Receipts

Everybody has NFL predictions. We brought receipts. Which teams are legitimate contenders? Which bad teams might actually be that bad? And which teams are being overlooked heading into the 2026 NFL season? In Episode 1 of Sports Without the Hype, we go beyond preseason narratives and look at the evidence: last season’s results, roster moves, coaching changes, injuries, quarterback situations and the context behind the numbers. The result is our first Receipt Board. And we’re saving it. Around Week 6, we’ll come back to these predictions and see exactly what we got right—and what we got wrong. Because we’re not deleting predictions in October. Teams covered include: Los Angeles Rams • Denver Broncos • Seattle Seahawks • Buffalo Bills • Baltimore Ravens • Philadelphia Eagles • Miami Dolphins • Las Vegas Raiders • New York Jets • Washington Commanders • Cleveland Browns • Tennessee Titans • New Orleans Saints • New York Giants Sports Without the Hype Beyond the takes.
