JustJ picks are only posted for the current week's slate — see the full sheet on the Picks page.

Schedule & market notes

• Bye: Week 8 — a mid-season bye, giving a roughly even split on either side.
• Short-week / non-Sunday games: 2 Thursday, 1 Monday — short-rest games carry their own well-documented ATS variance, worth flagging on your calendar as they approach.
• International game(s): Week 1 at Los Angeles Rams (Melbourne); Week 11 vs Minnesota Vikings (Mexico City) — a true road game with no homefield advantage and real short-week/travel logistics even when technically the “home” team.

Power ratings — strength against the field

Turnover differential -6 · 2025 results, Just J Football Companion / Pro-Football-Reference.

Power ratings & 2025 results

• 2025 record: 12-5-0 — Points For 437, Points Against 371 (differential +66).
• Margin of Victory: +3.9 pts/game — the average scoring margin across all 2025 games, win or lose.
• Strength of Schedule (SoS): +2.1 — Pro-Football-Reference's SRS-based measure of 2025 opponent quality; positive means a tougher slate than average.
• SRS (power rating): +6.0 — Simple Rating System score, which converts directly to a projected point spread on a neutral field against a leagueaverage team.
• Offensive SRS: +3.7 · Defensive SRS: +2.3 — the SRS power rating split into offensive and defensive components; higher offensive and higher defensive figures are both better.
• Turnover differential: -6 — total takeaways minus giveaways across the 2025 season, one of the more volatile year-to-year metrics and worth weighing against the rest of this profile rather than on its own.

League-wide unit ranks

Handicapping notes

• Grass: Levi's Stadium — 2025: 12-5 straight-up, 11-6 against the spread.
• : Kyle Shanahan's offense reloaded around free-agent addition Mike Evans with McCaffrey and Kittle back healthy — a proven system worth trusting in a full-strength year.
• : San Francisco battled a wave of major injuries in 2025 (Purdy, Warner, Bosa, Kittle, Pearsall, Mykel Williams all missed significant time) — a genuinely healthier roster in 2026 could play meaningfully better than last year's results suggest.

Pro Bowlers

• Offense: RB Christian McCaffrey, FB Kyle Juszczyk (10th career selection, most ever by a fullback), TE George Kittle, OT Trent Williams
• Defense: None on defense — LB Luke Gifford and LS Jon Weeks were selected as special-teamers.
