NFL Bold Predictions: Why Caleb Williams Will Win MVP And More Picks

FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd laid out five bold predictions for the 2026 NFL season on “The Herd,” including who he thinks will win MVP. He suggested the Chicago Bears could finally have an MVP nearly 50 years after their last one, while projecting Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to exceed his prior production despite losing a top receiver. Cowherd referenced Hurts’ 71% completion rate, 18 touchdowns and three interceptions in the season when A.J. Brown was not a major target. In the AFC West, he projected a playoff run tied to improved offensive line play. He also predicted the Green Bay Packers would finish fourth in the NFC North and face struggles linked to defensive downturns late last season.
