# Rich Eisen: Eisen delivered their Week 7 NFL power rankings, keeping the 49ers at No. 1 and controversially placing the 2-4 Texans at No. 10. They also leaned slightly toward Pittsburgh in the upcoming Sunday night meeting with Houston and dismissed the idea that the Eagles would trade Saquon Barkley. **Claimed:** Oct 21, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Eisen — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/rich-eisen **Outlet:** The Rich Eisen Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-rich-eisen-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/ESP2172109911.mp3 3 checkable claims — 1 game outcome pick, 1 power ranking and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > But still, I gotta keep the the niners number one as my power ranking. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “My power rankings for week seven at number 10 is a two and fourteen... it's the Houston Texans... Number nine on the list... I'm not kicking the Ravens off my top 10... London stunk for the Jaguars... Number seven, back on the list of the Green Bay Packers... Number six back on the list of the bears... Number five, top five, up three spots are your New England Patriots... the Bills, at three would beat the Vikings at four... Number two is the Chiefs, and still number one of the forty niners.” - Kind: Power Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Saquon Barkley to stay with Philadelphia Eagles** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Texans** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Saquon Barkley — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/saquon-barkley - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers ## What others said about the same people - Bryan DeArdo on Joey Porter Jr.: The piece predicts Joey Porter Jr. most likely stays with the Steelers through 2026, while listing possible trade destinations if they were moved. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a6edcb85-bcff-47cb-ba7d-e09dc7549fe1 (scored 0) - Garrett Podell on Philadelphia Eagles: Podell predicts the Eagles, behind new starting quarterback Joe Milton III, snap their six-game losing streak by upsetting the first-place Giants in Week 9. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c5bd225b-5f6f-41be-a44d-aa34f20ffad2 (scored 0) - Conor Orr on Philadelphia Eagles: Orr projects the Giants to finish 6-11 in 2026 under new head coach John Harbaugh, with a 1-6 start before the Week 8 bye and a 5-5 finish afterward, their lone first-half win coming at home against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/59f3656d-ab7d-43aa-92fe-d66a47b658fb (scored 0) - Zachary Pereles on Philadelphia Eagles: Pereles picks the Eagles to beat the Commanders on Sunday Night Football, 20-17, expecting Philadelphia's defense to bounce back toward its Week 1 form. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0a3fe2b8-f78b-4969-9bb1-091a05a5c796 (scored 16.67) - Henry Brown on Philadelphia Eagles: Brown expects Washington's pre-deadline stretch to go badly, with losses to the 49ers in Week 6, the Eagles, and the Rams in Week 9 leaving the Commanders winless in five straight heading into the trade deadline. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5e30e0b9-50ce-49d6-aeee-43ad7b9e00e3 (scored 0) - Bryan DeArdo on Pittsburgh Steelers: DeArdo picks the Steelers to beat the Browns at home in Week 8, citing Pittsburgh's quarterback edge and a running game that should exploit Cleveland's weak run defense. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ea81598d-c498-4a5f-a479-a76cec7979e6 (scored 59.52) ## More game outcome picks The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Sam Monson on New York Giants: Monson picked every Week 10 game, taking the Giants, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Colts, Texans, Bills, Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawks, Rams, Cowboys, Bengals and Ravens, and also suggested the Chargers' only likely wins the rest of the way come against the Jets and Dolphins. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f4cb7a1e-1380-4f08-b39b-1432b97db846 (scored 0) - Eva Geitheim on Washington Commanders: Geitheim picked the Commanders, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Vikings, Jaguars, Colts, Panthers, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Bengals and Ravens in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c011abef-0b18-41ad-acad-6a67dfbd41fd (scored 100) - Conor Orr on New York Giants: Orr picked the Giants, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Bengals and Chargers in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ba669379-043c-448a-a167-2f2e3695a52e (scored 0) - Albert Breer on New York Giants: Breer picked all 14 Week 10 games straight up, favoring the Giants, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Bengals and Ravens. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fdc16abc-9ae2-4bf4-a327-8e9d9ae283b6 (scored 0) - Mitch Goldich on New York Giants: Goldich picked the Giants, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins, Panthers, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Bengals and Ravens in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/706c628f-bb25-4892-b33e-84c81bfb6e4a (scored 0) - Matt Verderame on New York Giants: Verderame picked the Giants, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins, Saints, Bills, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Bengals and Ravens in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dfeb0994-1abf-414f-b153-d01b6e4e5365 (scored 0) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
