2026 NFL Schedule Revealed: Which Teams Face Surprising Playoff Nightmares?
8. Buffalo Bills (Opponent Win%: .528)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 9.78 (21st)
- 2025 Record: 12-5
- 2025 EVE Rank: 6th
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 11th
The Highlights: Week 2 against the Detroit Lions (a Thursday night matchup) marks the first official game at Highmark Stadium, the glistening new venue the Bills have wanted for decades. They’re working on the longest active streak of playoff appearances at seven (since 2019).
9. Los Angeles Chargers (Opponent Win%: .522)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 10.45 (17th)
- 2025 Record: 11-6
- 2025 EVE Rank: 15th
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 17th
The Highlights: At some point, Chargers QB Justin Herbert will either take the next step – or he won’t. A visit to Seattle in Week 4 to face that stifling, world championship defense could be revealing. So could a Week 12 home date with the Patriots, who utterly destroyed Herbert in the playoffs last season (his offensive line stunk in that game, too, but the QB didn’t cover himself in glory).
