Odds On Which Team Will Most Effectively Disappoint Its Fans

The 2025-26 NFL season is off to a roaring start, if by "roaring" one means the guttural groan of a fan base collectively bracing for impact. Our esteemed prognosticators have turned their finely tuned statistical models to the crucial Week 1 clash within the NFC North. This is not just any game; it’s billed as a pivotal moment, much like every other fixture in a division that reliably redefines "mediocrity" each autumn.

Observers eagerly await which franchise will most efficiently derail its own season before the leaves even change. Will it be the Minnesota Vikings, whose rich history of "almost" promises another heart-stopping collapse? Or perhaps the Chicago Bears, ever so adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of merely adequate performance? Each snap, each turnover, each questionable coaching decision is destined to send ripples of profound, yet utterly predictable, despair across the landscape, cementing a "massive shift" that somehow always lands them precisely where they started: nowhere near a championship. The anticipation is palpable, a thrilling journey into the abyss of fan anguish.
