Welcome to another episode of Sharp Football Analysis. We're gonna be talking today about key contenders and a change that they must make in 2026 to improve their odds, to have success, potentially win the Super Bowl. It's gonna be a fun show. Let's get started.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.
Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra.

All right, everybody, welcome in. I am joined by Raymond Summerlin. We are gonna be talking today about some key contenders around the NFL that need to make some slight tweaks in order to improve their odds at winning games. It's been fun researching and uncovering some of these aspects, Ray. And as you well know, we put all of them into the 2026 Football Preview, which you now can get two different ways. First way, if you want a printed book just like this one, 619 pages of detailed research and analysis in full color, as you can clearly see. Head over to Amazon. It's on sale. I want to say it's like 29% off right now. They change their discount all the time. So don't quote me on that. But as of right now, it's 29% off. Go to Amazon. You can find this book there. If you'd rather have the PDF and save yourself a few bucks, you can use code Sharp10 over at sharpfootballanalysis.com or go to Sharp.Football or click the link in the description below. There you can use the Early Bird Discount, which is still running and is going to probably end, I think, this week. Stack the code Sharp10 on top of that, get an extra 10% off.
This book is the fastest way to get smart for the 2026 NFL season, and it's something that Ray and I and Rich Hribar and the rest of the team have been working on for months. We're so happy to be done with it.
Now Ray, at least for me, you could see by my shirt, I am starting to think a little bit about getting a little bit more relaxation in, as well as it's starting to feel a little bit more like football season. We're past July 4th. We got the book out earlier than ever before, June 23rd. Now we're past July 4th. The World Cup is starting to wind down. Unfortunately, the US men's soccer team dropped their game to Belgium last night.
So the country might be moving on from the World Cup to a degree, getting back into football mode. Did you watch the game last night? What are you thinking about the World Cup? Are you starting to look forward to the NFL here? Are you still thinking about the World Cup?
**Raymond Summerlin** (3:08)
Did I watch the game? I did, in fact, watch the game last night, obviously. It was really just awful, right? Is that just an awful performance? An awful performance by the Men's National Team. It was made doubly bad by the fact that my club I support in club soccer is Aston Villa, and one of Aston Villa's best midfielders, a guy named Amadou Onana. And he plays for Belgium. He started for Belgium, and he tore his knee up, and it looks like he probably suffered a torn ACL. So not only did I watch the US. Men's National Team get absolutely embarrassed by a Belgian squad that, let's be honest, has passed their best days. That golden generation is not what it once was. Not only did we watch them get completely embarrassed, I watched one of the players, one of the most important players for my favorite team, completely tear his knee up. So anyway, it's going great, Warren. So yeah, I'm moving forward. I'm looking, I will finish the World Cup. I still love the World Cup. But yeah, we're moving forward. We're looking to the NFL. You know, training camp's not that far away, just a couple of weeks here. So we are getting right into the NFL action.
**Warren Sharp** (4:14)
That was injury added to insult for you then, I guess. But for me, I agree with your sentiment overall. The men's national team gave us some high highs over the past, you know, four games prior.
