Doug Joubert· Aug 24, 2026

Joubert projects the Saints' 53-man roster ahead of the cutdown deadline, naming every player he expects to make the team by position group, plus several players he expects to receive PUP/IR designations, and predicting Torricelli Simpkins will later be moved to the practice squad.

“Here is the On SI Saints prognostication for who makes the cutdown and who doesn't”

published in writing · Sports Illustrated · read the original →

58 checkable claims — 58 roster spot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 59 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

42 of 58 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 83.3 for a naive guess at the same calls.

58 checkable claims in this take

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.

Chris SimmsScore Predictions · New Orleans SaintsClose · 48
Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver.
Nick WrightScore Predictions · New Orleans SaintsMiss · 33
On his Week 3 pick show, Nick Wright gave straight-up final-score predictions for five games, calling blowouts by Seattle over Washington and Kansas City over Miami, a Jacksonville home win over New England, a narrow New Orleans win over the Raiders and a low-scoring Baltimore win over Dallas in Brazil. He also called Seattle the best team in the NFL with the league's best defense.

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

Joubert projects the Saints' 53-man roster ahead of the cutdown deadline, naming every player he expects to make the team by position group, plus several players he expects to receive PUP/IR designations, and predicting Torricelli Simpkins will later be moved to the practice squad.
