NFL Team Preview
September 2, 2026
The Chicago Bears enter the 2026 campaign looking to build on an 11-6 finish from the previous season. Warren Sharp’s forecast projects 9.5 wins for the team, placing them third in their division. This outlook arrives alongside a mid-pack Strength of Schedule ranked 12th overall, where a lower number indicates an easier path. Unit evaluations highlight a significant contrast in roster construction for the upcoming year. The offensive line stands out as the strongest positional group, ranking sixth league-wide. Conversely, the front seven represents the weakest link, sitting at number 30. These structural disparities will define the team's ceiling as they navigate a balanced slate of opponents. Balancing elite trench play against defensive front limitations remains the central narrative for this preview.

The Los Angeles Rams enter the 2026 campaign with high expectations following a dominant 12-5 season where they led the league in scoring at 30.5 points per game. Warren Sharp’s forecast projects 11.5 wins and a first-place division finish, suggesting this roster remains elite despite facing the fifth-hardest schedule in the NFL, ranked 28th on a scale where 32 is most difficult. The 2026 outlook highlights a top-tier head coaching unit as the team’s strongest asset. Running back is Sharp’s lowest-ranked Rams position group, but it still ranks sixth league-wide. Significant roster turnover includes the departure of key contributors like Rob Havenstein and Jared Verse, balanced by major additions such as Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie — and, after the book window closed, Aaron Donald's August 30 return from retirement. This preview analyzes how these changes impact a team that finished 15-2 against the spread last year.

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter the 2026 campaign looking to build on a dominant 13-4 performance from the previous season, where they posted top-ten marks in both scoring offense and scoring defense. Warren Sharp’s forecast projects 9.5 wins for this squad, slotting them second in their division despite a mid-pack Strength of Schedule ranked 14th out of 32 teams. The roster profile reveals a distinct imbalance, with the secondary standing as the unit’s strongest asset at number 12 league-wide, while the running back group ranks as the weakest link at number 29. This contrast between a stronger secondary outlook and a struggling ground game defines the team’s structural outlook heading into the new year.

The San Francisco 49ers enter the 2026 campaign looking to build on a strong 12-5 finish from the previous season. Warren Sharp’s forecast projects the team for 10.5 wins, placing them third in their division despite a favorable Strength of Schedule ranked eighth on a scale where one represents the easiest slate. This outlook suggests continued competitiveness, supported by unit rankings that highlight a top-tier head coach as the franchise’s strongest asset. However, significant questions remain in the secondary, which ranks as the squad’s weakest positional group at number twenty-six. Balancing these structural strengths and vulnerabilities will be key for a roster that posted 25.7 points per game last year. The 49ers must navigate this easier schedule while addressing defensive backfield concerns to meet elevated expectations.

The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2026 campaign looking to rebound from a disappointing 7-9-1 finish in 2025, a season defined by high-scoring offense but the league's worst scoring defense. Warren Sharp’s forecast projects 9.5 wins for the club, slotting them second in their division despite facing a brutal slate of opponents. The Strength of Schedule ranks 29 on a scale where 32 is the hardest, marking the fourth-most difficult path in the league. Roster evaluation highlights a stark contrast in unit quality, with the receiving corps standing as the strongest position group at number one overall. Conversely, the running backs and head coach roles are identified as the weakest links, both ranking twenty-third. Balancing elite pass-catching talent against a tough schedule will define this team's upside.

The Arizona Cardinals enter the 2026 campaign looking to rebound from a dismal 3-14 finish in 2025. Sharp’s forecast projects just 4.5 wins for the season, placing them fourth in their division. The path ahead offers little relief, as the team faces the league’s most difficult Strength of Schedule, ranking 32nd where 1 is easiest and 32 is hardest. Roster construction presents a stark contrast in unit quality. Sharp identifies the running backs as the team’s strongest positional group, ranking ninth overall. Conversely, the quarterback room is viewed as the weakest link in the entire league, sitting at rank 32. This disparity between a solid ground game and struggling pass protection defines the current outlook for Arizona.
