# Jason McIntyre: Guest-hosting The Herd, McIntyre laid out his full slate of 2025 division winners, wild cards, conference championship games and a Super Bowl pick: Bills, Ravens, Texans and Chargers winning AFC divisions with Chiefs, Bengals and Jaguars as wild cards; Eagles, Lions, Buccaneers and Rams winning NFC divisions with Vikings, Packers and Seahawks as wild cards; Texans over Chargers and Rams over Eagles in the title games, with the Rams beating the Texans in the Super Bowl. **Claimed:** Jul 31, 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://omny.fm/shows/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/the-herd-hour-2-nfl-playoff-predictions-josh-allen-dj-moore-expectations 18 checkable claims — 8 division winners, 6 playoff picks, 2 conference champions, 1 season win total and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I got the Rams taking down the Texans in the Super Bowl out here at SoFi. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to finish with 10–11 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Minnesota Vikings to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/lions ## What others said about the same people - Connor Rogers on Los Angeles Rams: Rogers made his own Week 2 calls, taking the Packers, Eagles (by at least 10), Panthers (by at least a field goal), Cowboys (by at least six), Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to win.
