# Richard Sherman: Sherman gave first-four-game records for each NFC team. **Claimed:** Sep 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Richard Sherman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/richard-sherman **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://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/ff45d208-e4a7-42ba-a69c-af0000e830d1/04ba2a47-0480-4022-9d94-b4b70101e798/audio.mp3?in_playlist=bf391792-153e-41b3-9d3d-ae3300346ad8 16 checkable claims — 16 season win totals — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 16 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > That sounds like four, Mitchell. I feel good about them going four for four. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **San Francisco 49ers to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arizona Cardinals to finish with 1 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Giants to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks to finish with 4 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Washington Commanders to finish with 1 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **New Orleans Saints to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Atlanta Falcons to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dallas Cowboys to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Minnesota Vikings to finish with 1 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carolina Panthers to finish with 2 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cardinals - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/lions - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/saints - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/panthers ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on New Orleans Saints: 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 47.62) - Connor Rogers on New York Giants: 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 Los Angeles Rams: 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 backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3df9ea25-e57f-4fd7-b20c-c910a1c3633a (scored 0) - Nate Tice on Detroit Lions: Tice matched his guest on every Week 3 game, picking the Ravens over the Cowboys, the Jaguars over the Patriots in a close game, the Broncos to upset the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears and the Lions over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b8378e16-ea5c-4107-a883-28aaf0e71134 (scored 100) - Steven Ruiz on Detroit Lions: Previewing Week 3, Ruiz picked the Ravens to beat the Cowboys in Brazil, Jacksonville over New England in a low-scoring game, an upset by the Broncos over the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears, the Lions over the Jets, and his Hail Mary that Houston beats Indianapolis by two touchdowns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a30ff469-4972-4c48-855b-ba984e4de9d0 (scored 100) - Chris Simms on Green Bay Packers: Simms picked the Packers to beat the Falcons in the Thursday night game by a low score, expecting a defensive struggle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b12420c5-837c-4a24-8a8e-c74b10cc697c (scored 9.52) ## More season win totals The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Nick Wright on New England Patriots: Nick Wright walked through the Browns' quarterback situation and then gave leans and bets on every AFC team's win total, offering concrete win-count expectations for several clubs plus a call on Brock Bowers. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1e745abb-ae8f-4f8c-893e-bfb5d53589b1 (scored 20) - Colin Cowherd on New England Patriots: Cowherd takes the Titans over their five-and-a-half win total on the strength of Cam Ward and Brian Callahan, calls New England an eight-to-nine win team, picks Green Bay to win the NFC North, expects the Giants to lose all four games to Washington and Philadelphia, and sketches a quarterback ranking with C.J. Stroud around 10th and Baker Mayfield 11th. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e32a708a-5651-4292-b71b-672f2216a48e (scored 0) - John Middlekauff on New England Patriots: Middlekauff says Denver's floor is ten wins, predicts Miami implodes to four or five wins and a top-three-or-four draft slot with Tyreek Hill traded, thinks the 49ers beat expectations with nine or ten wins, sees the Patriots at eight or nine wins, calls the Chargers over 9.5 a lock, expects Jared Goff to make five or six Pro Bowls, and says the Packers are flying under the radar. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/af06c2e6-9beb-4a7e-b444-620680dbccd1 (scored 0) - Nick Wright on Denver Broncos: Nick Wright gave his early AFC win-total leans: overs on the Jets, Ravens, Jaguars, Chiefs and Raiders, plus projected win ranges for the Dolphins, Texans, Chargers and Broncos, and predicted the Raiders take Ashton Jeanty at No. 6. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cc9d1905-c3e9-4d7f-8dbb-0f840dbb7535 (scored 20) - Chris Brockman on New England Patriots: Brockman's overreaction slate: Breece Hall leaves the Jets and plays in the playoffs next season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver in the league, three quarterbacks (Mendoza first overall, plus Ty Simpson and Carson Beck) go in the first round, and the Patriots crater to a 7-10 season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/855631ac-f41e-4f40-9368-ae99994bb8c3 (scored 0) - Chris Brockman on New England Patriots: Brockman argued Jaxon Smith-Njigba is already the best receiver in the NFL and deserves to be the highest paid, called his shot that three quarterbacks (Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck) go in the first round with Mendoza first overall, and suggested New England is headed for a 7-10 season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c47d130c-5598-4cd0-b546-1121046b9166 (scored 0) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. 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.
