So, are you ready for some football? These 26 gridiron-savvy artists are.
Ahead of the NFL 2026 season, which kicks off tonight in Seattle, we asked everyone from Michael Buble and Melissa Etheridge to Alice Cooper and Cage the Elephant — who will perform at the NFL’s Munich, Germany, game in November — to predict how far their favorite team will go. The answers reflect a mix of home-team optimism and stark reality. But not many fans outside of the Pacific Northwest predicted the Seattle Seahawks would win their second Super Bowl title last year, and that’s why they play the games.

Bo Nix is a beast! The defensive line and offensive line are bar none! The defensive secondary, led by PS2, is the best in the league! The receiver room and running backs are also fire! We will get 70-plus sacks this year regardless of who gets suspended. Inside linebacker and tight end are my only question marks.
The first seven games are a gauntlet for sure, but if we are a .500 team after those games, you better look out! I think we win the AFC West division with a 12-5 record and a Super Bowl run. Go Broncos!
