# John Breech: Breech picks the Seahawks to beat the Broncos 27-17 on Thursday night and the Buccaneers to upset the Steelers 20-17 in Week 6, and they reiterate that their preseason MVP pick was Jared Goff. **Claimed:** Oct 15, 2026 **Pundit:** John Breech — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/john-breech **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/pick-six-seahawks-broncos-predictions-nfl-week-6-picks/ 3 checkable claims — 2 score predictions and 1 award pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 36.9 out of 100, against 63.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think their defense will stymie the Steelers and open the door for the Bucs to pull off the upset. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 — Steelers 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 40.48 out of 100, against 33.7 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Oct 18, 2026): Steelers by 2.5, total 38.5 · this 20–17 calls a Buccaneers win (by 3; the line gave the Buccaneers 44%) and fewer points (37).
