# Jordan Dajani: Dajani gave final-score picks for seven Week 7 games, including the Bears beating the Patriots at home on Thursday night, an upset by the Bengals in Baltimore, and the Chiefs winning a revenge game in Seattle. **Claimed:** Oct 22, 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-7-picks-experts-patriots-bears-cowboys-eagles/ 7 checkable claims — 7 score predictions — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 7 have settled, averaging 65.3 out of 100, against 51.2 for a naive guess at the same calls. > This will be a high-flying affair that comes down to the very end, and a push is very much in play. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dallas Cowboys 26 — Eagles 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: scored 73.81 out of 100, against 8.32 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Oct 26, 2026): Cowboys by 4.5, total 43.5 · this 26–20 calls a bigger Cowboys win (by 6) and more points (46).
