NFL Predictions and Updates for the 2026/27 Season

NFC West and AFC West Predictions

Experts are weighing in on the upcoming 2026/27 NFL season with predictions about division champions. Danny Parkins forecasts the Seattle Seahawks will once again claim the NFC West title. He also predicts a shakeup in the AFC West, with the Los Angeles Chargers set to surpass the Kansas City Chiefs.

Top Quarterback and Emerging Leaders

Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Greg Jennings join the conversation about top-rated quarterbacks. Josh Allen is positioned as the leading QB in the NFL. Discussions also consider Caleb Williams’s potential as a significant player and leader for the Chicago Bears.

Keenan Allen’s Legal Troubles

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen faces potential consequences after being charged with two misdemeanors. The charges result from an arrest for drunk driving before the season started. According to Yahoo Sports, Allen’s blood alcohol level was .224, a Class A misdemeanor in Indiana. League rules stipulate a minimum three-game suspension for substance abuse violations. However, the NFL will wait for legal proceedings before enforcing any suspension.

Current Status and Game Participation

Despite legal challenges, Allen participated in the Colts’ Week 1 match against the Baltimore Ravens. He caught six passes for 32 yards. The seasoned receiver, now in his 14th season, signed with the Colts for this year after a long career with the Chargers. He previously played with the Chicago Bears in 2024.

Looking Ahead

An attorney conference is set for October 26, which could influence Allen’s suspension timetable. Meanwhile, Allen remains available for the Colts’ Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
