Lance MooreSep 17, 2026
Lance Moore predicted the Saints would again score around 30 points but lose a high-scoring game in Baltimore, 35-31. They also bought Chris Olave going over 1,300 receiving yards in 2026, said Zay Flowers would play until officially ruled out, and suggested the Titans would be a roughly two-win team.

- 4Chris Olave to record 1,300 receiving yards“But I think 1,300 is is a more than decent bar for him. And I and I think that's kind of on the low end... I don't think 1,300 will be that hard for him, honestly.”

a naive guessbetter than naive4 checkable claims — 1 availability call, 1 player season number, 1 score prediction and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
1 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 42.9 out of 100, against 32.1 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.
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.
