The NFC South could be the most unpredictable division in football entering the 2026 NFL season. Last year, all four teams finished within just two wins of each other, with the Panthers, Buccaneers, and Falcons winning 8 games and the Saints finishing with 6. Can Bryce Young prove he's the franchise quarterback and lead Carolina to back-to-back NFC South titles after the Panthers loaded up on defense with Devin Lloyd and Jaelan Phillips? Can Baker Mayfield bounce back in a contract year after injuries derailed Tampa Bay's season? Will Atlanta's front office overhaul, Kevin Stefanski, and the quarterback battle between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. finally unlock the Falcons? And can Tyler Shough, Joryn Tyson, Travis Etienne, and Kellen Moore turn the Saints into a playoff team? In this episode, we break down every NFC South roster, predict every team's schedule game-by-game, give our official win total predictions, and reveal our final NFC South standings for the 2026 NFL season.

In this episode of BallGame Podcast, we predict the NFL players most likely to regress during the 2026 season. Which stars are being overrated heading into the year? Can Alec Pierce actually live up to his massive $30 million contract? Is Baker Mayfield bound to keep declining as injuries pile up and contract uncertainty surrounds his future? Can A.J. Brown return to being a top 5 receiver after joining the Patriots? Is DK Metcalf still an elite receiver, or is the decline already starting? We also debate whether the Seahawks can replace Kenneth Walker's production with rookie Jadarian Price, whether Christian McCaffrey can sustain greatness after another 400+ touch season, if DJ Moore can finally become the WR1 Buffalo has been searching for, and whether Terry McLaurin is due for regression after an injury-filled season. These are the players we believe have the most to prove heading into 2026.
