Yahoo Sports’ “Football 301″ podcast hosts Nate Tice and Matt Harmon spent an episode going through their top 10 NFL offenses heading into the 2026 season. Their dueling lists consisted largely of the same teams and featured a fun debate on who should be No. 1. Here’s how their rankings broke down: Harmon’s top 10 Tice’s top 10JaguarsPackersPatriots49ers49ersLionsChargersBearsBillsBengalsBengalsBillsCowboysPatriotsBearsChargersLionsRamsRamsCowboysWhy Dallas can outgun everyone — if the line holdsIt’s easy to fall in love with the Cowboys’ firepower. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens form a dazzling one-two punch that can win with finesse or rock fights, and newcomer Ryan Flournoy is no slouch as WR3.”It’s one of the only teams where their third receiver is actually dangerous,” Harmon raved, pointing out Flournoy’s ability to step up if injuries hit.Play Yahoo’s new College Fantasy Football game: Create or join a league now!The tight end group might be the NFL’s most versatile. Jake Ferguson pairs receiving chops with real Y-blocking; Brevyn Spann-Ford is an elite edge-sealer; even the fullback, Hunter Luepke, is a tactical weapon — a “rug that ties the room together,” as Tice put it.But the O-line, long Dallas’ calling card, faces a new test. Tyler Guyton is a supreme athlete but, as Tice noted, “He was always hurt in college. Right now, same story … so, can he string together 15-16 games in the NFL?”Thankfully, Dallas has rare depth. “Nate Thomas wasn’t bad last year when he had to play,” Tice said, suggesting continuity even if Guyton misses more time.What sets Dallas apart isn’t just stars. The Cowboys are already solving the problems modern defenses throw at them. When teams flood the line with five defenders (“clouds” and 5-man fronts), Dallas answers with pullers and fullbacks, creating mismatches and staying one move ahead.”That’s why I’m so optimistic. They already showed the signs of going supernova … they were good on offense last year. I’m just all systems go,” Tice said.Even weaknesses don’t feel fatal. The running back room is solid, if unspectacular. But on this team? “If running back depth is your biggest worry, you’re probably going to be alright,” Tice said.With an offense already carving up the trends of 2026 and enough O-line talent to (probably) patch over injuries, the Cowboys are as close as it gets to an offensive sure thing.If Guyton can string together a healthy campaign — or if Thomas picks up where he left off — expect Dallas to be at the top of every power ranking come Thanksgiving.The Matthew Stafford-Sean McVay brain trust has been successful in Los Angeles.
