Summary

  • theScore’s 2026 NFL projections put Baltimore, the Rams and Seattle among the strongest over picks, with the Ravens and Rams both clearing 11.5 wins and Houston also tagged as an AFC elite.
  • 11.5-win lines sit at the top of the board, where the outlet argues Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson-led offense and the Rams’ upgraded defense make them the clearest Super Bowl-caliber teams entering camp.
  • Several playoff hopefuls also drew bullish calls, including Chicago over 9.5, Cincinnati over 9.5, Dallas over 8.5 and San Francisco over 10.5, largely on expected defensive improvement or healthier cores.
  • On the other side, Kansas City was pegged under 10.5 because of Patrick Mahomes’ ACL recovery, while Philadelphia, Green Bay and Pittsburgh were also projected to fall short of market expectations.
  • At the bottom, Miami under 4.5 was the bleakest call, with Arizona, Cleveland, the Raiders and the Jets also forecast to struggle as quarterback uncertainty and difficult schedules shape the 32-team outlook.
