The 2025 NFL season is officially a wrap, which means it's the perfect time to look ahead to the 2026 season! We never did tally results in 2024 from our predictions because we were on hiatus, and that break lasted through when we would have made predictions for the 2025 season.
But we're back and, as we’ve done in the past, we are using confidence points in making our picks to separate ourselves from the experts you can find making predictions about who will start for each team next season.
If you see a 32 next to a name in one of our columns, it indicates that column’s host is 100% certain the player will be starting in Week 1. Each number from 32 down to 1 must be used exactly once by each host.
As such, a perfect score is 528. Cory set our current record in 2023 with 481 points and 25 correct picks, which helped him to extend his all-time lead to 38 points through three completed seasons.
You can find all our past results at the end of this post. Can Eric or Evan take away Cory's crown this year? We'll find out in September!
Players above are color-coded. These players are not currently in the NFL as of the time of our predictions, while these players are in the NFL but are not currently on the roster of the team for which our host has predicted they will be the Week 1 starter.
