Dan OrlovskyOct 26, 2026
Orlovsky said the Vikings' offense will get them beaten despite the great defense, that he's more concerned about Kansas City than San Francisco because the Chiefs' receivers can't carry a playoff run, that the Browns and Bengals can get hot, and that the Giants are the only NFC East team with an identity.

How each call scored
3 claims — 1 depth chart call, 1 position group finish and 1 trade and signing call — the 2 we can check each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of the 2 calls we can check have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
The other one was too vague to check, so it is not graded.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.
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.
