# Colin Cowherd: Cowherd gave their four favorite NFL over bets and four favorite unders, projecting the Chargers around 10 wins, the Browns 7-8, the Giants over 7.5, the Saints 9-10, the Chiefs 10, the Packers around 9, and the Jets at two-to-three wins with the No. 1 overall pick next draft. They also called three Giants rookies immediate starters. **Claimed:** Jun 17, 2026 **Pundit:** Colin Cowherd — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/colin-cowherd **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://omny.fm/shows/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/the-herd-hour-1-messi-s-world-cup-hat-trick-lebron-staying-with-lakers-nfl-over-unders 11 checkable claims — 7 season win totals, 3 depth chart calls and 1 team draft slot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 11 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 8. > I think The jets are a two to three win team... they'll be the number one pick in THE nfl draft next year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Cleveland Browns to finish with 7 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Francis Mauigoa to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Francis Mauigoa, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to finish with 9 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Jets to pick at number 1** - Kind: Team Draft Slot Calls · About: New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **New Orleans Saints to finish with 9 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Giants to finish with 8 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malachi Fields to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Malachi Fields, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Jets to finish with 3 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers to finish with 10 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arvell Reese to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Arvell Reese, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to finish with 10 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns - Francis Mauigoa — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/francis-mauigoa - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - New York Jets — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jets - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/saints - Malachi Fields — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/malachi-fields - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Arvell Reese — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/arvell-reese - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs ## What others said about the same people - Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: Clark expects the Chiefs to bring back exclusive-rights receiver Nico (Remigio) and long snapper James Winchester, to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster as a cheap veteran fifth receiver, and not to bring back Hollywood Brown, Josh Dobbs-type depth, Gardner Minshew, Janarius Robinson or Mike Caliendo;
