Nate Tice & Matt Harmon reveal ten of their BOLDEST predictions to lock in the Take Vault for the 2026 NFL season. But first, the guys enter the ring of Philadelphia Eagles offense discourse as they give their thoughts on whether or not Jalen Hurts will adapt to new OC Sean Mannion’s scheme, plus their thoughts on the Las Vegas Raiders signing QB Kirk Cousins.

Next, Nate & Matt open up the Take Vault as they lock a few bold predictions for the season away in early April. Matt predicts Ty Simpson coming off the board early on draft night, a tough season for the Green Bay Packers, a potential big trade up for the Dallas Cowboys and a huge season for WR Ladd McConkey, while Nate forecasts a first-time MVP winner, a big bounce-back season for the Minnesota Vikings with new quarterback Kyler Murray, a successful 2026 for the Cowboys and C.J.
