# Jason McIntyre: Filling in for Colin, McIntyre gave Week 1 picks: Rams over the Niners in Australia, Texans over the Bills, Bears over the Panthers, Steelers over the Falcons, Titans over the Jets, and Lions over the Saints. He also has the Texans reaching and winning the Super Bowl, thinks the 49ers win eight or nine games, and says he bet Joe Burrow to win MVP. **Claimed:** Sep 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Jason McIntyre — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jason-mcintyre **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/1508ddb2-0c9a-42f6-aafe-ae3300346aa9/3abc38b7-a886-4674-a3ff-b4b8012b6204/audio.mp3?in_playlist=bf391792-153e-41b3-9d3d-ae3300346ad8 9 checkable claims — 6 game outcome picks, 1 award pick, 1 season win total and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
