It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 18 have settled, averaging 22.2 out of 100, against 11.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. > But I've got Baltimore winning it all coming up in Santa Clara in February. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Houston Texans to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Green Bay Packers to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Cincinnati Bengals to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · 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 - **Green Bay Packers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Green Bay Packers - 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 - **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 win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: San Francisco 49ers - 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 beat Green Bay Packers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Washington Commanders to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Kansas City Chiefs: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 100) - Connor Rogers on Kansas City Chiefs: Rogers picked Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle and the Giants to win their Week 3 games, saying the Chiefs win by two touchdowns and the Giants by a field goal. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/83d1e88b-95a0-45ba-83d3-f86297170c6c (scored 100) - Chris Long on Cincinnati Bengals: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo.

He also expects Malik Willis to land a big free-agent deal, Kayvon Thibodeaux to be moved, and Baltimore to lose Isaiah Likely, and he floats the Rams reaching on Ty Simpson late in round one. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cd243624-9451-4824-a8a4-7b468d681c8f (scored 0) - Rich Eisen on Jacksonville Jaguars: Eisen forecast the Week 18 results and the entire wild-card field: Buccaneers over Panthers but Carolina still gets in as the 5 seed when Atlanta beats New Orleans, 49ers over Seahawks, Ravens over Steelers, Jaguars beating Tennessee to win the AFC South, and six wild-card matchups (Seahawks-Panthers, Bills-Jaguars, Texans-Ravens, Packers-Bears, Chargers-Patriots, Rams-Eagles), with Houston upsetting Baltimore. He also tabbed Saints rookie Tyler Shough as a possible Offensive Rookie of the Year. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/34345186-876a-4c4b-9567-9c289a6cbace (scored 100) - Rich Eisen on Jacksonville Jaguars: Eisen called the 49ers-as-NFC-favorites take an overreaction, picked the Jaguars to beat the Titans and win their division, leaned Ravens over the Steelers in the Week 18 Sunday night game, expects the Bills to beat the Jets even without Josh Allen, sees the Chargers as the AFC's seventh seed, agreed Tyler Shough could win Offensive Rookie of the Year with a good Saints 2026, said Malik Willis will be a starter somewhere next season, and insisted Detroit goes into 2026 with Goff. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/15192136-24b9-4127-ac9d-69dc69aab3d5 (scored 100) - Rich Eisen on New England Patriots: Eisen said the Patriots are still likely to win the AFC East and won't be one-and-done, that the Chargers will end Dallas' season next week, that TreVeyon Henderson should out-snap Rhamondre Stevenson, that the NFC East race is over in Philadelphia's favor, and that the winner of the NFC West will be the NFC's No. 1 seed. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ae722f6b-44e2-42bb-a847-4435f539db5b (scored 100) - Rich Eisen on New England Patriots: Eisen previewed week 15 games, predicting Joe Burrow would play well in his first home start back against Baltimore, and speculated on a possible Colts-Steelers wild card matchup.

The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
