# Chris Simms: Simms gave straight-up final-score picks for every Week 4 game (he says he picks without looking at the spread), including Jaguars over Bengals, Rams over Eagles, Lions over Panthers and 49ers over Broncos. He also pegged Roman Wilson as Pittsburgh's emerging No. 2 receiver and doubted Nico Collins would be himself for Houston. **Claimed:** Oct 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Chris Simms — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/chris-simms **Outlet:** Chris Simms Unbuttoned (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/chris-simms-unbuttoned-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/006cbbeb-1b7a-4729-b380-b3df0127e8db/02686249-75b3-40ce-b58f-b3df0134b685/32553545-eaa4-4c89-bdc8-b4d7011c8ce3/audio.mp3?in_playlist=89df2a40-d377-4495-87df-b3df0134b68b 16 checkable claims — 13 score predictions, 2 depth chart calls and 1 availability call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. 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 thirty eight twenty seven Jaguars, and this will be, a Sims Bucks $300 win. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **San Francisco 49ers 27 — Broncos 19** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arizona Cardinals 23 — Giants 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dallas Cowboys 21 — Texans 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions 38 — Panthers 34** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Atlanta Falcons 19 — Saints 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills 28 — Patriots 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs 24 — Raiders 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams 31 — Eagles 21** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars 38 — Bengals 27** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears 27 — Jets 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens 34 — Titans 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks 31 — Chargers 21** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Minnesota Vikings 24 — Dolphins 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Roman Wilson to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Roman Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Michael Pittman to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Michael Pittman, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **I'm going into this right now as I sit here going, he's not gonna play or at least not gonna be himself (Week 4 vs. Cowboys)** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Nico Collins, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cardinals - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/lions - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Roman Wilson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/roman-wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Michael Pittman — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/michael-pittman - Nico Collins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/nico-collins - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans ## What others said about the same people - Jordan Foote on Cole Christiansen: Foote writes that after the Week 4 game in Las Vegas, Cole Christiansen will revert to the Chiefs' practice squad, having exhausted his three standard elevations, and considers it unlikely Kansas City signs him to the 53-man roster given Cam Jones' remaining activations and a possible Cooper McDonald return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0f95f5c2-204e-4a55-9fef-acf1f0883817 (scored 0) - Ralph Ventre on Kani Walker: Ventre expects Christian Benford's toe injury to sideline him for at least the Week 4 game against New England, and believes the Bills will have to add a cornerback to the 53-man roster this week — likely by moving Benford to injured reserve — with practice squad rookie Kani Walker the most likely player elevated. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/94b844fe-bb22-4517-81f5-6263eb0213f1 (scored 0) - Gene Chamberlain on Marcus Davenport: Chamberlain argues the Bears' cap restructuring won't lead to a splashy edge-rusher trade for Maxx Crosby or Josh Sweat, and that Marcus Davenport will be promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster as their veteran edge help.
