PFT Writers Split on 5 Super Bowl LXI Winners in 2026 NFL Predictions
3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Sep 7
Summary
Five PFT writers published full 2026 NFL playoff brackets, and none agreed on a single Super Bowl LXI champion: the Bills, Seahawks, Rams and Bengals all got picks.
The Rams drew the broadest support, appearing in three of five projected Super Bowls and winning two of them, while the Bills were the only team picked by two writers to win the AFC.
AFC No. 1 seeds were scattered across the Texans, Chiefs and Bills, with the NFC’s top line similarly split among the Lions, Seahawks and Rams.
PFT framed the exercise as annual preseason prognostication and noted that last year none of its writers correctly picked either eventual Super Bowl team.
