# Jordan Dajani: Dajani gave final-score predictions for eight Week 8 games, including the Packers over the Panthers, the Ravens upsetting the Bills in Buffalo with Lamar Jackson back, the Lions beating the undefeated Vikings, the Broncos knocking off the Chiefs, and the Commanders routing the Eagles. **Claimed:** Oct 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Jordan Dajani — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jordan-dajani **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-8-picks-experts-face-off-panthers-packers-ravens-bills/ 8 checkable claims — 8 score predictions — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 8 have settled, averaging 58 out of 100, against 62.5 for a naive guess at the same calls. > The Ravens are a completely different team with Jackson under center, and this Bills defense allows too many points. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Seattle Seahawks 24 — Bears 23** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 11.9 out of 100, against 10.88 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Nov 2, 2026): Seahawks by 3, total 46.5 · this 24–23 calls a closer game (Seahawks by 1) and more points (47).
