# Jason McIntyre: McIntyre named their eight NFL division winners: Bills, Ravens, Jaguars, Chargers, Eagles, Vikings, Falcons and 49ers, and also picked Buffalo to win the Super Bowl. They noted the Jaguars, Falcons and 49ers all missed the playoffs last year. **Claimed:** Jul 14, 2025 **Pundit:** Jason McIntyre — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jason-mcintyre **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/hour-2-nfl-predictions-5 14 checkable claims — 8 division winners, 3 playoff picks, 1 award pick, 1 super bowl pick and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 12 of 14 have settled so far, averaging 33.3 out of 100, against 16.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So there are my division winners, Bill's and Ravens... Jags are surprise Chargers and upset Eagles nobody would be surprised by. And then Vikings Falcon designers. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Minnesota Vikings to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **San Francisco 49ers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Atlanta Falcons to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Chargers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Jacksonville Jaguars to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Philadelphia Eagles to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **San Francisco 49ers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Jacksonville Jaguars to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Atlanta Falcons to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Travis Hunter to win Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to beat expectations** - Kind: Surprise Team Calls · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Travis Hunter — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/travis-hunter ## What others said about the same people - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) - Parker Hurley on Khalid Kareem: Hurley predicts the 49ers will release Khalil Kareem when Nate Hobbs is activated and cut Brandin Cooks when C.J.
