Jeff Kerr#68 of 87 NFL pundits · Sep 20, 2026

Kerr projects the Eagles' full starting lineup for their Week 2 road game at Tennessee, with rookie Drew Kendall stepping in at left guard for the injured Landon Dickerson, Makai Lemon staying in the starting receiver group, and Michael Carter starting at safety alongside Marcus Epps. They also predict Andrew Mukuba will be inactive and that A.J. Epenesa takes over as the No. 3 edge rusher.

How each call scored

31 checkable claims — 29 depth chart calls and 2 availability calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 31 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 19 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
