Over or under? Sizing up all 32 NFL teams' 2026 win total projections - theScore

What the report says

theScore published a preseason NFL betting preview by Dan Wilkins assessing 2026 regular-season win totals for all 32 teams, using lines listed by theScore Bet as training camps approach. The piece frames the exercise around a familiar offseason tension: every club can point to reasons for optimism, but the author argues only some are likely to improve while others may miss expectations.

In the available article text, Wilkins highlights several “under” calls tied to quarterback uncertainty, schedule difficulty or roster transition. Arizona is listed at 4.5 wins, with the piece citing a quarterback competition involving Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck, plus a difficult schedule. Atlanta is projected under 7.5 wins, while Cleveland is under 5.5 after a rebuild-focused offseason and the reported trade of Myles Garrett to the Rams. Indianapolis is also picked under 8.5, with Daniel Jones returning from an Achilles injury.

TheScore’s analysis is more optimistic on several contenders and rising teams. Baltimore’s 11.5-win total is picked over, with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, new head coach Jesse Minter and pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson cited as major reasons. Buffalo, Carolina, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Detroit and Houston are also picked to exceed their listed totals in the available text. Green Bay is marked under 10.5 because of early-season concerns tied to Micah Parsons’ ACL recovery.

The article matters primarily as betting and season-preview context rather than league news. It offers a snapshot of how one analyst views roster changes, coaching shifts, injuries and division strength before the 2026 NFL season begins.
