# Chris Brockman: Brockman argued the Chiefs dynasty is finished, predicted the Giants and Jets would win about five games apiece while Dallas could reach 12 wins, tabbed Jacksonville as an AFC South winner, said Washington falls back to 9-8, picked Mike Vrabel for Coach of the Year, called the 49ers a slept-on championship-weekend team, projected big numbers for Bo Nix and a Denver division title, forecast a 2,000-yard receiver, hyped the Penix-London duo, and said Baltimore is the AFC North's only playoff team. **Claimed:** Jun 23, 2025 **Pundit:** Chris Brockman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/chris-brockman **Outlet:** Overreaction Monday (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/overreaction-monday-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/WWO3044203346.mp3?updated=1750693471 16 checkable claims — 5 season win totals, 3 division winners, 2 player season numbers, 2 playoff picks, 1 award pick, 1 coach award pick, 1 depth chart call and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 14 of 16 have settled so far, averaging 61.5 out of 100, against 27.8 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Last year's Super Bowl blowout loss marked the end of the Chiefs dynasty. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Baltimore Ravens to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Denver Broncos to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Jacksonville Jaguars to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **New York Jets to finish with 5 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Jets - Verdict: scored 60 out of 100, against 25 for a naive guess - **San Francisco 49ers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **New York Giants to finish with 5 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Giants - Verdict: scored 80 out of 100, against 65 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Washington Commanders to finish with 9 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 20 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Bo Nix to record 4,500 passing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 74.71 out of 100, against 38.05 for a naive guess - **Rome Odunze to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rome Odunze, Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Bo Nix to record 35 passing tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 42.86 out of 100, against 70.58 for a naive guess - **San Francisco 49ers to finish with 12 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 5 for a naive guess - **Mike Vrabel to win Coach of the Year** - Kind: Coach Award Picks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Dallas Cowboys to finish with 12 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 85 for a naive guess - **Bo Nix to win MVP finalist** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **San Francisco 49ers to beat expectations** - Kind: Surprise Team Calls · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/broncos - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - New York Jets — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jets - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Bo Nix — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/bo-nix - Rome Odunze — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rome-odunze - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys ## What others said about the same people - Zack Kelberman on Sean Fresch Jr.: Kelberman expects Sean Fresch Jr. to clear waivers and return to the Broncos' practice squad, sees Riley Moss back from concussion for the Week 11 game at Las Vegas, and projects newly acquired Daiyan Henley to begin as the third inside linebacker behind Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad before likely moving into a starting role. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/978f775c-5611-4514-ad2f-b35a6eac0402 (scored 0) - Zack Kelberman on Sean Fresch Jr.: Kelberman writes that Riley Moss may sit out the preseason finale against Minnesota but should be available for the Week 1 opener at Kansas City; they also suggest undrafted corners Sean Fresch Jr. and Brent Austin are being evaluated for practice squad spots. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3c8c47b8-6041-4282-8d21-d21741d8f11b (scored 0) - Parker Hurley on Khalid Kareem: Hurley predicts the 49ers will release Khalil Kareem when Nate Hobbs is activated and cut Brandin Cooks when C.J.
