# Jordan Dajani: Dajani gave final-score predictions for eight Week 3 games, picking the Packers, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans, Buccaneers (upset), Ravens, Broncos (upset) and Eagles to win. **Claimed:** Sep 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Jordan Dajani — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jordan-dajani **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-3-picks-falcons-at-packers-ravens-vs-cowboys/ 8 checkable claims — 8 score predictions — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 8 have settled, averaging 50 out of 100, against 58.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I'm going to call the upset here in Week 3 that finally gets Tampa Bay into the win column. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Philadelphia Eagles 21 — Bears 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 21.43 out of 100, against 54.46 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Sep 28, 2026): Eagles by 3.5, total 42.5 · this 21–13 calls a bigger Eagles win (by 8) and fewer points (34).
