# Moe Moton: Moton projects final 2026 records for all 32 NFL teams, naming division winners, both conferences' playoff fields and seedings, with Houston and the Rams as No. 1 seeds, plus a few roster and draft-slot calls. **Claimed:** Aug 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Moe Moton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/moe-moton **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25470133-predicting-every-nfl-divisions-standings-2026-season-ahead-preseason-week-1 63 checkable claims — 32 season win totals, 14 playoff picks, 8 division winners, 3 depth chart calls, 2 seeding, byes and home field, 2 team draft slot calls, 1 game outcome pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 36 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 37 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 7 and below it on 30. > Houston bullies its way to the No. 1 seed in the AFC. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
