# Veejay Huskey: Husky ran through pieces of their 117-prediction list: Lamar Jackson clears four rushing touchdowns, the Bears fall back to 7-10, Aidan Hutchinson leads the league in sacks, Makai Lemon wins Offensive Rookie of the Year, Tennessee makes a big leap, Pittsburgh goes 9-8, Justin Herbert wins MVP, and Aaron Donald starts the opener as the Rams beat the 49ers. **Claimed:** Aug 30, 2026 **Pundit:** Veejay Huskey — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/veejay-huskey **Outlet:** Fox Sports Radio (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports-radio-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/551c44d9-d7e8-4da3-bacd-ae2e0038717f/f9fc78c0-c6bd-4992-9225-b4b6015b7bbb/audio.mp3?in_playlist=be0668fc-1028-4ce5-80eb-ae2e00387188 12 checkable claims — 2 award picks, 2 depth chart calls, 2 season win totals, 2 trade and signing calls, 1 game outcome pick, 1 player season number, 1 positional finish and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3. > Justin Herbert will win the 2026 MVP. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
