It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 16 of 18 have settled so far, averaging 72 out of 100, against 42.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > I got the Seahawks winning this game. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Los Angeles Rams to beat New York Giants** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears 32 — Minnesota Vikings 19** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 33.33 out of 100, against 34.49 for a naive guess - **San Francisco 49ers 31 — Miami Dolphins 10** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 97.62 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Philadelphia Eagles to beat Tennessee Titans** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Dallas Cowboys to beat Washington Commanders** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Houston Texans 24 — Cincinnati Bengals 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 33.33 out of 100, against 15.44 for a naive guess - **Las Vegas Raiders to beat LA Chargers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to beat New Orleans Saints** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Cleveland Browns** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Kansas City Chiefs 28 — Indianapolis Colts 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: scored 71.43 out of 100, against 91.63 for a naive guess - **Green Bay Packers to beat New York Jets** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks 24 — Arizona Cardinals 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 69.05 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **New England Patriots to beat Pittsburgh Steelers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jacksonville Jaguars 24 — Denver Broncos 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 47.62 out of 100, against 82.1 for a naive guess - **Carolina Panthers to beat Atlanta Falcons** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills to beat Detroit Lions** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Parker Washington to finish top 5 at his position, by receiving yards** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: too vague to check - **Fred Warner to finish top 1 at his position, by sacks** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Fred Warner, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: too vague to check ## Who this take is about - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Parker Washington — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/parker-washington - Fred Warner — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/fred-warner ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Kansas City Chiefs: 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.
