2026-2027 HONORS PREDICTIONS

TOP 5 OFFENSES

For years teams have always tried to bully you down the middle while using play action to beat you deep. It was a vertical game. Today's offense involves so much of the perimeter. My top offenses are teams that have dynamic QBs running the offense. The QBs are either elite athletes, have elite arms, or function an offense at an elite level. They have multiple weapons on the outside. They are also able to control the run game in some way. 

1) Chicago Bears

2) Buffalo Bills

3) Cincinnati Bengals

4) Dallas Cowboys

5) Detroit Lions

TOP 5 DEFENSES

For years defenses have been built down the middle. Like I said above, teams have always tried to bully you down the middle while using play action to beat you deep. It was a vertical game. Teams today try to beat you horizontally with a lot of wide zones and bootlegs. Teams move the pocket a lot more than they have before.  You need to set the edge and you need players in space. My top defenses have a great secondary and depth in the front 7.  

1) Houston Texans

2) Seattle Seahawks

3) Denver Broncos

4) Los Angeles Chargers

5) Los Angeles Rams
