Micah Parsons predicts 2026 AFC winners: Broncos, Patriots, Ravens and Texans
Micah Parsons has shared his valuable insights on potential AFC Divisional winners for 2026. He believes the Denver Broncos will secure the top position in the AFC West, edging out rivals Kansas City Chiefs. In the AFC East, the New England Patriots are his favorites to lead, while he anticipates the Baltimore Ravens clinching the AFC North.
Micah Parsons, Green Bay Packers' elite edge defender, shared his predictions for the 2026 AFC Divisional winners with Bleacher Report. Parsons confidently predicted the Denver Broncos to win the AFC West, citing the addition of Jaylen Waddle to the offense and the resilience of the roster despite losing key players. The Los Angeles Chargers were considered Parsons' second-choice team in the division, with praise for their resilience and defense under Justin Herbert.
The Baltimore Ravens topped the AFC North predictions, with Parsons believing the addition of Trey Hendrickson and a new coaching staff could elevate Lamar Jackson's performance. Pittsburgh Steelers, led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, and Joey Porter, were Parsons' second choice, with a strong defense and reinforcements such as DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman.
The New England Patriots were set to win the AFC East, followed closely by the Buffalo Bills. Parsons attributed this to the development of Drake Maye, the reinforcement of A.J. Brown, and the potential matchup between the two teams. The Houston Texans were predicted to win the AFC South due to their strong defense, C.J. Stroud's elite-level play, and good running game. Parsons also mentioned the potential for the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans to be fierce competitors in the division.
