Tyler Sullivan· Nov 2, 2026

Sullivan expects the Jets to lose in Kansas City in Week 9, leaving them with seven losses in nine games by the trade deadline, and wonders whether the Vikings will drop their next three games (vs. Bills, at Packers, vs. 49ers) to fall to 6-4. He also says Carson Beck will eventually take over as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.

“In all likelihood, they'll have accumulated seven losses over their first nine games once they reach the deadline.”

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing. Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade.
