## More power rankings

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Rich Eisen: Eisen said the Texans can win the AFC South and make the playoffs, called the Rams the best team in football, predicted Aaron Rodgers will start against the Bears, and said they believe Joe Burrow returns for the Patriots-Bengals game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d7b170ab-fe27-4fe3-8c47-116548754dd1 (scored 50)
- Rich Eisen: Eisen endorsed the Eagles' defense carrying them to the NFC championship and the Rams being the NFL's best team, but predicted the NFC North sends only Green Bay and Detroit to the playoffs, that Kansas City wins five of its last seven, that the 49ers make the playoffs, that Baltimore wins the AFC North, and that Tampa Bay wins the NFC South with both the Bucs and Panthers losing their upcoming NFC West road games. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f7e77ff9-c596-4b8e-a10d-989cd6fa12a9 (scored 50)
- Rich Eisen: Eisen ranked their top five matchups of Week 11, and along the way said the Rams sit atop their power rankings as the best team on both sides of the ball, and praised RJ Harvey as Denver's path forward. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/50af1258-bdeb-4451-b159-5d48efa94795 (scored 50)
- Nick Wright: The host's five Week 9 NFL picks: Detroit over Minnesota, Pittsburgh +3 vs. Indianapolis, San Francisco over the Giants, Kansas City over Buffalo at Buffalo, and Seattle over Washington. They also call the Chiefs the best team in the league and Jonathan Taylor the NFL's best running back this year. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2fd2d221-42c7-422d-bd99-8a7e8e6dd1df (scored 0)
- Nick Wright: Damonza Byrd called the Ravens the best team in the NFL right now while hedging that they are at worst top two or three. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c043b5e8-50cd-4263-9f39-b9cdb94a066c (scored 0)
- Seth Rollins: Guest host Seth Rollins said the Steelers, whom they had placed in their top 10, will be good and will push Baltimore and Cincinnati, but remain the third-best team in the AFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b454d74e-cd3d-45e9-bde6-082898efd556 (scored 75)

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.
