# Nick Wright: Wright picks the Chiefs to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl, with Baltimore hosting Kansas City in the AFC title game and Seattle hosting Philadelphia in the NFC. **Claimed:** Sep 6, 2026 **Pundit:** Nick Wright — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/nick-wright **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2026-27-super-bowl-predictions-will-chiefs-win-all-again-do-bills-breakthrough 7 checkable claims — 2 conference champions, 2 playoff picks, 2 seeding, byes and home field and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I have the Ravens hosting the Chiefs in the AFC, much like they did two years ago. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks to take the top seed** - Kind: Seeding, Byes and Home Field · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to take the top seed** - Kind: Seeding, Byes and Home Field · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles ## What others said about the same people - Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: Clark expects the Chiefs to bring back exclusive-rights receiver Nico (Remigio) and long snapper James Winchester, to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster as a cheap veteran fifth receiver, and not to bring back Hollywood Brown, Josh Dobbs-type depth, Gardner Minshew, Janarius Robinson or Mike Caliendo;

The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
