# Patrick Claybon: Claybon picked Dak Prescott for MVP, Jahmyr Gibbs for Offensive Player of the Year and Kevin O'Connell for Coach of the Year, and went game-by-game through the season with the Jaguars winning the AFC South and the AFC title, the Vikings edging the Lions on a tiebreaker, and the Rams beating the Cowboys before winning the Super Bowl. **Claimed:** Sep 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Patrick Claybon — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/patrick-claybon **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://pdrl.fm/91be81/podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/claritaspod.com/measure/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/9ce11dad-e86a-444f-ba83-ae27003475be/54ba701c-952b-48d0-9714-b4ba017fd087/audio.mp3?in_playlist=deff018f-4b51-4501-937c-ae27003475d1 46 checkable claims — 13 season win totals, 8 division winners, 7 award picks, 7 game outcome picks, 5 playoff picks, 2 conference champions, 1 coach award pick, 1 pro bowl and all-pro call, 1 seeding, byes and home field and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 28 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 13 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 7 and below it on 6. > But the 2026 MVP for me is Rain Dakota Prescott. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
