# Tyler Sullivan: Sullivan floats Week 6 outcomes he wouldn't be shocked by: MarShawn Lloyd running for 100 yards against Dallas, the Giants beating the Saints while the Cowboys and Eagles both lose to grow New York's NFC East lead to 2.5 games, Tennessee finally winning against the Colts, and Pittsburgh losing in Tampa Bay. **Claimed:** Oct 15, 2026 **Pundit:** Tyler Sullivan — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/tyler-sullivan **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/it-wouldnt-shock-me-if-nfl-week-6-trevor-lawrence-giants/ 5 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 5 have settled, averaging 60 out of 100, against 20 for a naive guess at the same calls. > And yet, it wouldn't surprise us if he went off in Week 6 to the tune of 100 yards on the ground. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Steelers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Oct 18, 2026): Steelers by 2.5 · underdog pick, Buccaneers 44%.
