What Rich Eisen said

How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
“It's time for my week four Power rankings brought to you by SoFi... Number 10 on my list... It is the Las Vegas Raiders... Number nine, back on the list... Case Keenum quarterback, Chicago Bears... Number eight on the list. Back on the list is the Jacksonville Jaguars... Number seven. Up two spots are the Denver Broncos... Number six, down four spots of the Seahawks... The Ravens are now in it. Up five spots... Four. Up four spots. I'm putting the Minnesota Vikings here... Number three on the list, up one spot are the Chiefs... Number two on the list, up one spot are the 40, and the Bills stays like before.”
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

Brockman argued the Eagles' defense is the NFL's best and will drag a mediocre offense to the NFC championship, that the NFC North sends only two teams to the playoffs with the Bears among them, that the Rams are the league's best team, that a healthy Brock Purdy makes the 49ers an NFC threat who will beat the Saints and Falcons, and that the Panthers win the NFC South.Nick Wright · Power Rankings · Miss 0
The host's five Week 9 NFL picks: Detroit over Minnesota, Pittsburgh +3 vs. Indianapolis, San Francisco over the Giants, Kansas City over Buffalo at Buffalo, and Seattle over Washington. They also call the Chiefs the best team in the league and Jonathan Taylor the NFL's best running back this year.Chris Brockman · Power Rankings · Miss 0
Brockman argued only about five teams can realistically win the Super Bowl, naming the Bills, Eagles, Ravens and Chargers among them; they also picked Justin Herbert as MVP through three weeks, called the Colts a top-five team with Daniel Jones as an MVP finalist, said the Bears will finish top two in the NFC North, said the Bengals' season is cooked and they'll pick in the top 10, said the Rams are the only NFC threat to the Eagles, and said the Bucs have a team-of-destiny feel.
