Chad Millman· Jul 8, 2026
Millman's official pick is the Saints to make the playoffs at +200, and he likes the Cowboys' price to reach the postseason. He also favors an Eagles–Chiefs Super Bowl matchup, feels best about Kansas City among Super Bowl contenders, and sees value in the Eagles as NFC top seed and the Bengals as AFC top seed.
“So my chad choice is going to be the New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs at plus two hundred.”
