# Chris Broussard: Broussard picks Dak Prescott for MVP, predicting huge numbers and that the Cowboys win the NFC East. **Claimed:** Sep 6, 2026 **Pundit:** Chris Broussard — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/chris-broussard **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2026-27-nfl-mvp-predictions-will-dak-prescott-win-award-first-time 2 checkable claims — 1 award pick and 1 division winner — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I think Dak is going to have huge numbers this year, and I obviously think they're going to win the division. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dak Prescott to win MVP** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dallas Cowboys to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Dak Prescott — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dak-prescott - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys ## What others said about the same people - Connor Rogers on Dallas Cowboys: Rogers made his own Week 2 calls, taking the Packers, Eagles (by at least 10), Panthers (by at least a field goal), Cowboys (by at least six), Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to win.
