He's got his eyes on five teams that he thinks will make significant improvements, including the Giants, Chiefs, and Lions. For fans of these teams, it's exciting to think about the possibility of more wins and a potential playoff run.
The Giants and Jets, in particular, are looking to bounce back from a tough 2025 season. Their records were among the worst in the league, and they'll be looking to make some big strides in 2026. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are a team that's used to being in the playoff mix, but they'll need to regroup and refocus after a season that didn't quite live up to expectations.
