Jeff CavanaughJun 26, 2026
Jeff argues Bill Barnwell's offensive weapons ranking is wrong and reorders it, saying the Cowboys belong in the top four, ahead of the Cardinals, 49ers, Falcons and Bengals, with only Detroit (and possibly the Rams) above them. They also predict the Eagles finish 7-10 and calls Bijan Robinson the best running back in football.

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 1 positional finish, 1 season win total and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Nick Wright · Positional Finishes · Puka Nacua · Close 75

Eisen called the Rams-winning-it-all take an overreaction but expects Los Angeles to win the NFC West, said they don't see how Myles Garrett fails to win Defensive Player of the Year, and called George Pickens perhaps the third-best receiver in the NFL this season.
