Miami is 0-5 after five straight losses — to Las Vegas (27-13), San Francisco (35-13), Kansas City (24-10), Minnesota (15-10), and Cincinnati (31-24) — heading into their Week 6 bye winless. Miami finished 7-10 last season, going 6-11 ATS and 10-7 to the Over, scoring 20.4 points per game (25th) while allowing 24.9 (24th). Warren Sharp's preseason forecast of 4.5 wins and fourth-place finish in the AFC East came with the second-hardest schedule (31st), with the market installing Miami as underdogs in 16 of 17 games at a 6.9-point average line—5.6 at home and 8.0 on the road.

The New York Jets are 1-3 after a convincing 23-10 win over Tennessee, a blown 10-point fourth-quarter lead against Green Bay, a near-comeback in Detroit, and a 23-12 loss in Chicago in which the Bears controlled the ball for nearly 43 minutes. Last season they went 3-14, scoring 17.6 points per game (29th) and allowing 29.6 (31st). They covered 1-15-1 against the spread and went 11-6 to the over. Warren Sharp's preseason forecast is 5.5 wins and third place in the AFC East. His betting snapshot installed them as underdogs in 13 of 17 games and favorites in four, with a 4.9-point average line that splits 2.9 at home and 6.6 on the road.

New England is 2-2 after a 14-3 Super Bowl season, and the first month already looks like Warren Sharp's preseason 9.5-win, second-place AFC East forecast instead of a 14-win rerun. The Patriots scored 36 points through three games, got flattened 35-6 at Jacksonville, then Drake Maye and Josh McDaniels produced their best 2026 offensive night in a 29-26 road upset at Buffalo. Last year they scored 28.8 points per game (second) and allowed 18.8 (fourth), covering 13-4 and going 11-6 to the over. Sharp's preseason market snapshot had a -2.4 average line, -5.4 at home and 0.3 on the road, with New England favored in 10 games and an underdog in seven.

Pittsburgh is 2-2 after consecutive three-point division games, winning against Cincinnati and losing 27-24 at Cleveland. They rallied from 21-7 down, tied it at 24 with 1:42 left, and Cleveland won on a 56-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining. Last season they finished 10-7, scoring 23.4 points per game (15th) and allowing 22.8 (17th), with an 8-9 mark against the spread and a 10-7 record to the over. Warren Sharp's preseason forecast was 8.5 wins and third in the AFC North against a schedule ranked 19th in difficulty (1 = easiest, 32 = hardest). His preseason betting snapshot installed the Steelers as 0.6-point underdogs on average, minus-0.9 at home and plus-1.9 on the road, favorites in seven games and underdogs in ten.

Cincinnati is 2-0, and last year's 6-11 already looks like two teams stapled together. Joe Burrow went 5-3 in eight starts; a Week 2 turf-toe injury that required surgery knocked him out of the other nine, and the Bengals went 1-8 without him. Warren Sharp's preseason forecast is 9.5 wins and second in the AFC North, a rebound that leans on the third-easiest schedule and a quarterback room he ranks third. Last year's scoring split is why that number jumped so far off six wins: Cincinnati scored 24.4 points per game (12th) and allowed 28.9 (30th), going 7-10 against the spread and 9-8 to the over.

Fourteen wins created enormous expectations in Denver. The Chiefs beat the Broncos 31-10 in Week 1, a reminder that 2025 does not carry over automatically. Last year they went 14-3 ATS and 7-10 to the over, with a defense that allowed 18.3 points per game (third) and an offense at 23.6 (14th). Warren Sharp has the Broncos at 9.5 wins and third in the AFC West, with a schedule ranked 22nd on a 1-to-32 scale where one is easiest — the 11th-hardest slate. His preseason snapshot installed them as favorites in ten games and underdogs in seven, a -1.7 average line, -2.1 at home and -1.3 on the road.

The Los Angeles Chargers enter 2026 coming off an 11-6 season that looked more competitive than explosive: they matched that record against the spread, went 7-10 to the over, and scored 21.6 points per game (20th) while allowing only 20.0 (ninth). Warren Sharp still has them at 10.5 wins and second in the AFC West, and his preseason betting snapshot already treated Los Angeles as a favorite in 11 games and a dog in six, a -2.3 average line built on -5.0 at home and 0.2 on the road. The schedule ranks 11th on his 1-to-32 scale. Arizona already won 26-14 in SoFi in Week 1, which is the first real test of whether last year's defensive floor can cover an offense that is still finding its pieces.

A frustrating 6-11 campaign in 2025 masked a defense that held opponents to 19.3 points per game (sixth fewest in the league) while the offense mustered only 21.3 points per game (ranked 21st). That gap fueled an 11-6 mark against the spread alongside a 4-13 record toward game-total overs. Warren Sharp’s forecast anticipates a sharp rebound in 2026, projecting 10.5 wins and a first-place finish in the AFC West. Sharp's preseason betting snapshot listed Kansas City as favorites in 11 of 17 contests with a season-average spread of -2.9 points, stretching from -5.6 at home to -0.4 on the road. Navigating that bounce is aided by the league's 10th-easiest schedule on Sharp's scale, where 1 represents the easiest slate and 32 the hardest.

The New Orleans Saints enter 2026 after a 6-11 finish that produced 18.0 points per game (28th) and allowed 22.5 (16th). That scoring split showed up in the betting window too: 5-12 against the spread and five overs against 12 unders. Sharp's forecast is 7.5 wins and a second-place NFC South finish, with the league's second-easiest schedule on a scale where 1 is the easiest slate. Sharp's preseason betting snapshot listed New Orleans as a 1.9-point underdog on the season, 0.7-point favorites at home, and 4.7-point underdogs on the road, with five games as a favorite and 12 as an underdog.

Warren Sharp parks them at 7.5 wins and fourth in the NFC South on the league’s sixth-easiest schedule. Sharp’s preseason betting snapshot lists Atlanta as a 3.1-point underdog on average, with only two games as a favorite.
