Week 4 was the model's best Sunday of the year. The re-run still has the Rams on top, with Detroit, Jacksonville and Baltimore within reach.

Jeremiah Smith dominates, Arch Manning struggles behind a leaky line, and Mensah, Umanmielen and Baugh play beyond their current draft grades.

We faded the Chiefs and 49ers all summer. Three weeks of real football changed the model's mind, and the re-run now has both in January.

Two weeks ago we re-ran the 2026 season after the opening Sunday and told you Buffalo was back and the Rams never left. Week 2 had notes for us. San Francisco followed the Melbourne massacre by hanging 35 on Miami without punting a meaningful drive. Patrick Mahomes threw for 382 in an overtime game his team refused to lose. Atlanta scored three points at home behind a third-string quarterback and an undrafted rookie. So we fed every snap of it back into the machine, locked all thirty-one real results into the standings, and played the rest of the season 200 times over. Here is what moved, and what would not budge
