Highest NFL Win Totals for 2026
The top line belongs to the Baltimore Ravens as its over 10.5 mark is juiced to -145 odds, ahead of the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks who are stuck in a brutal NFC West division. The NFC West has a third team projected for double-digit wins in the San Francisco 49ers, contributing to three of the NFC’s six teams with a 10.5-win line. Joining the NFC West triumvirate are the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions, and Green Bay Packers. The reigning NFC North champion Chicago Bears have a line set at 9.5 wins while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leads the way in the NFC South at a line of 8.5.
In the AFC, both the aforementioned Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are expected to have bounce-back seasons. Two AFC East teams crash the double-digit party with the Buffalo Bills edging out the New England Patriots in terms of vig. The Los Angeles Chargers are also poised with a 10.5-win line after making the playoffs for the second season in a row. The AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers are once again posted at 8.5 wins as they look to finish with a non-losing record for the 23rd season in a row.
Lowest NFL Win Totals for 2026
The NFC has 15 of 16 teams with a win total of at least 6.5, but the Cardinals missed the memo. After losing 14 of 15 games to end the 2025 season, the 2026 Cardinals have a paltry line of 4.5 wins. The only other NFC teams with a line below 7.0 are the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers who both sit with 6.5-win lines. However, both numbers are juiced toward the over and could find their way to 7.5 during the offseason.
The AFC is much more populated with bad teams. The bottom of the barrel is the Dolphins, who have a 4.5-win line. Two teams occupy the 5.5-win line with the owners of the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft: the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets. Both numbers are juiced toward the under. The 6.5-win line includes the Cleveland Browns and the Tennessee Titans. The Browns are slightly juiced toward the under, while the Titans are juiced toward the over pretty safely.
