Round

NFL 2026 regular season, Week 1

The pre-game read

Jacksonville is at home and has a clear quarterback advantage. Cleveland's QB situation is deeply uncertain — Kevin Stefanski spent the offseason playing coy between Tua Tagovailoa (now in Atlanta) and other options, and the Browns' identity at the most important position is unresolved. The Browns' skill position corps is healthy, but Jacksonville's roster is built to contend and they're at home. The Jaguars see their 2026 season going places, and this is a game they should handle comfortably.
