The page this came from has changed since we captured it on Aug 1, 2026. The quote and evidence above are from our capture, not from what the page says today.
106 checkable claims — 105 player season numbers and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
It names 57 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

- Adam CarlsonRoster Spot Calls · Max BrosmerMiss · 0Carlson argues that after a poor preseason showing, quarterback Max Brosmer should be cut by the Vikings, with the team then weighing a practice squad spot for him.
- Jay MorrisonRoster Spot Calls · Mitchell TinsleyHit · 100Following the preseason opener against Detroit, Morrison updated his Cincinnati Bengals 53-man roster projection, naming starters and backups at every position group and identifying which players are on the bubble.

- Connor RogersGame Outcome Picks · Kansas City ChiefsHit · 100Rogers 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. He also noted Baltimore was his Super Bowl pick and said it wouldn't shock him if Jacksonville hosted the AFC Championship Game.
- Chris SimmsScore Predictions · Houston TexansMiss · 24Simms went through every Week 2 game with predicted final scores, picking the Texans, Bears, Steelers (as an upset), Packers, Ravens, Eagles, Buccaneers, Panthers, Jaguars, Seahawks, Cowboys, 49ers, Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to win.

More player season numbers
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
- Rich EisenPlayer Season Numbers · Micah ParsonsClose · 56Eisen made a series of picks: Micah Parsons will out-sack any two Cowboys combined (after initially leaning the other way), the NFC North is more likely to produce a Super Bowl team than the NFC East, Eagles wins will outnumber Cowboys losses, Bo Nix/Courtland Sutton will out-touchdown Cam Ward/Calvin Ridley, and Marvin Harrison Jr./James Conner will beat Kamara/Olave in yards and TDs. He also picked the AFC West order and said Deion Sanders is more likely than Bill Belichick to have a winning record.
- Joe MarinoPlayer Season Numbers · Kyle PittsClose · 67Marino argued Kyle Pitts deserves more respect after a good season and expects his touchdown total to keep rising, landing on six touchdowns next season (following the pattern of his yearly totals).
- Tim HasselbeckPlayer Season Numbers · Isaiah LikelyMiss · 0Hasselbeck expects Kyler Murray to be released by Arizona, believes Malik Willis will sign somewhere as the anointed opening-day starter, and thinks Isaiah Likely can be a true No. 1 tight end who would catch over 75 passes with close to seven touchdowns as a full-season starter.
- Nick WrightPlayer Season Numbers · Matthew StaffordMiss · 0Nick trusts Josh Allen over the Broncos defense, picks the Bills to win outright in Denver (Bills +1.5 as his lock), picks the Patriots to beat the Texans by more than three, likes the 49ers to keep it close but not win, and predicts the Rams blow out the Bears roughly 42-28 with Stafford throwing about five TDs.
- Patrick ClaybonPlayer Season Numbers · Trevor LawrenceMiss · 0Claybon projects Bijan Robinson as the week's top running back and A.J. Brown as a candidate for top wide receiver, and gives weekly fantasy point projections of about 26 for Drake Maye, 19 for Trevor Lawrence and just over 10 for Brock Bowers.
- Seth RollinsPlayer Season Numbers · Ja'Marr ChaseClose · 41Rollins suggested Ja'Marr Chase could top 2,000 receiving yards this season, and argued Puka Nacua belongs in the top 10 (or top six) of receivers while Garrett Wilson and Tyreek Hill are too high. He also picked the Bears to beat the 49ers in Week 16 and predicted Rashee Rice will get at least a four-game suspension.
