JP Acosta · Jan 15, 2026

JP picked the Bills, Seahawks (roughly 17-10), Patriots and Rams in the divisional round, and offered several 2026 draft projections including Ty Simpson as a first-rounder and Jonah Coleman as the class's second running back.

So I do think the Bills win this game.

  • Buffalo Bills to win

    I worry that the Broncos will try but can't, and that puts Bo Nix into a lot of unfavorable situations. So I do think the Bills win this game.

  • Jonah Coleman to be 2nd running back off the board

    I think if I had a, a a RB two behind Jeremiah Love in this class, I think it's Jonah Coleman.

  • Colton Hood to be picked “back half of the first round” (picks 1–32)

    I could maybe see a guy like Colton Hood sneaking into the back half of the first round with a good, like, post season circuit.

  • Ty Simpson to be picked “first round” (picks 1–32)

    but he's probably going to go in the first round because there is no other quarterback

  • New England Patriots to win

    I sort of feel like the patriots win. Like, I I feel like the patriots win a close one.

  • San Francisco 49ers 17 — 40 niners 10

    I'm not gonna say it's thirteen three like week week 18... I think this one's gonna be, like, a seventeen ten.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Monroe Freeling to be picked “round one”

    I could see Monroe Freeling sneaking in the round one because teams need a tackle
