The 2026 NFL regular season schedules are out, and that means it's time to start thinking about which teams will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy come February. But before we get to the playoffs, there's the matter of the regular season—and Las Vegas has already made its predictions on who will come out on top.
Oddsmakers have crunched the numbers, analyzed the rosters, and looked at the schedules to determine which 10 NFL teams are most likely to rack up the most wins in 2026. And the list is a mix of perennial powerhouses and rising contenders.
The 10 Teams Vegas Is Betting On
According to Las Vegas odds, these are the 10 teams expected to be the best in the business during the 2026 regular season:
- Baltimore Ravens
- Los Angeles Rams
- Buffalo Bills
- Detroit Lions
- Green Bay Packers
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Los Angeles Chargers
- Philadelphia Eagles
- San Francisco 49ers
- Seattle Seahawks
It's no surprise to see the Chiefs, fresh off another Super Bowl appearance, near the top of the list. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to defy expectations, and the team's core remains strong. But the Ravens, with Lamar Jackson at the helm, are also a safe bet, especially after their recent playoff runs.
The NFC is well-represented, with the 49ers, Eagles, and Lions all expected to be contenders. Detroit, in particular, has been a feel-good story, and Vegas sees their momentum carrying into 2026. The Packers, with Jordan Love now fully established, are also in the mix, while the Rams and Seahawks look to bounce back after some roster retooling.
On the AFC side, the Bills and Chargers are both loaded with talent, and their high-powered offenses make them attractive picks. Buffalo's Josh Allen and LA's Justin Herbert are among the league's elite quarterbacks, and their teams are built to win now.
Of course, these are just predictions. The NFL is known for its parity, and upsets happen every week. But if you're looking for a safe bet on who will be playing in January, these 10 teams are the ones to watch. And for those wondering about the flip side, Vegas has also identified some teams that might struggle—including the Arizona Cardinals, who are considered the league's biggest long shot for the 2026 playoffs.
As the season approaches, fans will be keeping an eye on travel schedules and mileage, which can also impact a team's performance. And with the NFL allowing teams to mock the Vrabel-Russini drama, there's plenty of off-field storylines to follow too.
So, who do you think will win the most games in 2026? The odds are in, but the games are played on the field. Let the debate begin.
