2026 NFL Schedule Revealed: Which Teams Face Surprising Playoff Nightmares?
27. Detroit Lions (Opponent Win%: .467)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 13.52 (3rd)
- 2025 Record: 9-8
- 2025 EVE Rank: 8th
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 1st
The Highlights: Our models expect the Lions to be really good this year after a weird (and injury-aided) step backward in 2025. A Week 2 Thursday nighter in Buffalo will be a great test for both teams, as will be a game in Munich against the Patriots in Week 10.
T-28. Atlanta Falcons (Opponent Win%: .465)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 7.52 (29th)
- 2025 Record: 8-9
- 2025 EVE Rank: 17th
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 5th
The Highlights: Setting-wise, a Nov. 8 date with the Bengals at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu leads the slate here. Actually, maybe it doesn’t, as the Falcons go to Lambeau to play the Packers on Sept. 24.
