New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New Orleans traded picks No. 78 and 112 to New England for No. 61 and selected safety Vonn Bell. Bell immediately became a major defensive contributor, appearing in 61 games with 45 starts over four Saints seasons. The move worked. It simply ran into an exceptional Patriots return, because New England turned the two selections into Joe Thuney and Malcolm Mitchell.
Chicago acquired Joe Thuney from Kansas City for a 2026 fourth-round pick and received exactly the kind of stabilizing veteran it wanted. Thuney started all 17 games in 2025, earned first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, won the inaugural NFL Protector of the Year award and helped the Bears win the NFC North. That immediate elite return supports a clear Chicago win.
