Seth Rollins · Jul 23, 2026
Guest host Seth Rollins picked the Chicago Bears as his final sleeper team, saying they'll be better than last year, win the NFC North, and reach at least the NFC title game. He also endorsed a 10-7 record as reasonable, said Colston Loveland will be a top-five tight end, and voiced concerns about Green Bay's defense.
“They're gonna win this division, and they are gonna get to the NFC title game, if not the Super Bowl.”
