The NFL is notoriously difficult to predict and last season was no different.
Seven of the eight division winners were different from 2024, with two of the Super Bowl favourites missing out on the play-offs entirely - the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.
Two outsiders then made it all the way to the big game, with the Seattle Seahawks beating the New England Patriots for their first NFL championship in 12 years.
So, who will be this season's surprise package? Who will be playing at Super Bowl 61 next February? And who will be the main men?
Here, the BBC's NFL experts make their picks for the 2026 season, which begins this week. Plus you can predict your Super Bowl winner at the bottom of this page.
