# The Miz: Guest-hosting, The Miz gave their top-10 NFL power rankings with the Cleveland Browns at No. 1 and the Rams at No. 2, predicted the Browns beat the Rams in the Super Bowl, tabbed Myles Garrett as Defensive Player of the Year and Joe Flacco as MVP/Comeback Player of the Year, and said Josh Allen's Bills finally beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. **Claimed:** Aug 13, 2025 **Pundit:** The Miz — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/the-miz **Outlet:** The Rich Eisen Show (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-rich-eisen-show-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/WWO7433076193.mp3?updated=1755116217 11 checkable claims — 3 award picks, 2 conference champions, 1 depth chart call, 1 game outcome pick, 1 playoff pick, 1 power ranking, 1 score prediction and 1 super bowl pick — 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. All 11 have settled, averaging 36.1 out of 100, against 33.6 for a naive guess at the same calls. > The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl, and they're winning the Super Bowl, beating the Los Angeles Rams. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Cleveland Browns to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Rams to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 50 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - “they're winning the Super Bowl, beating the Los Angeles Rams” - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 22.92 for a naive guess - **Myles Garrett to win Defensive Player of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Myles Garrett, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Joe Flacco to win NFL MVP** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Joe Flacco, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - “NFL top 10 power rankings.
