# JP Acosta: JP picked the Eagles to beat the 49ers in a low-scoring game and the Jaguars to beat the Bills, called Bijan Robinson the best running back in the league, and named their own first-team All-Pro roster. **Claimed:** Jan 8, 2026 **Pundit:** JP Acosta — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jp-acosta **Outlet:** Pushing the Pile (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pushing-the-pile-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/serve.castfire.com/audio/8174680/8174680_2026-04-12-051820.192.mp3?rssID=6037 25 checkable claims — 22 pro bowl and all-pro calls, 2 game outcome picks and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
