# Andy Furman: Furman picked Dak Prescott for MVP, Reuben Bain Jr. for Defensive Player of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year, Ja'Marr Chase for Offensive Player of the Year, Antonio Williams for Offensive Rookie of the Year, Sean Payton for Coach of the Year and Kyler Murray for Comeback Player, while saying none of Jackson/Allen/Burrow win the Super Bowl and predicting North Carolina goes 2-0. **Claimed:** Aug 30, 2026 **Pundit:** Andy Furman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/andy-furman **Outlet:** Fox Sports Radio (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports-radio-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/551c44d9-d7e8-4da3-bacd-ae2e0038717f/956be755-0b6f-4484-bc7f-b4b600d94ab5/audio.mp3?in_playlist=be0668fc-1028-4ce5-80eb-ae2e00387188 9 checkable claims — 6 award picks, 2 depth chart calls and 1 coach award pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > I'm going with Dak Prescott. I think this could be his year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ja'Marr Chase to win Offensive Player of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joe Burrow to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sean Payton to win Coach of the Year** - Kind: Coach Award Picks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kyler Murray to win Comeback Player of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Kyler Murray, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Joe Flacco to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Antonio Williams to win Offensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rueben Bain to win Defensive Player of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Rueben Bain, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dak Prescott to win MVP** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rueben Bain to win Defensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Rueben Bain, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Ja'Marr Chase — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ja-marr-chase - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Joe Burrow — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/joe-burrow - Kyler Murray — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/kyler-murray - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Joe Flacco — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/joe-flacco - Antonio Williams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/antonio-williams-1040 - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders - Rueben Bain — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rueben-bain - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Dak Prescott — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dak-prescott - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys ## What others said about the same people - Jordan Dajani on Washington Commanders: Dajani picks the Commanders to edge the Giants 21-20 on Thursday and the Chiefs to beat the Falcons 26-20 in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/46f7646f-2c64-4827-a522-67975af79fb6 (scored 95.24) - Tyler Sullivan on Washington Commanders: Sullivan takes the Commanders 24-21 over the Giants on Thursday night and calls for a Steelers upset of the Bengals, 27-24, in Week 10. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1bb32676-c3b3-4b8e-8a03-b58396cf98bf (scored 100) - John Breech on Washington Commanders: Breech picks the Commanders to upset the Giants on Thursday night, 24-17, and takes the Texans to beat the Browns 24-16 in Week 10 behind a pass rush that should batter Deshaun Watson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9fddc8e1-3823-4252-bdd7-f81ef11b1da3 (scored 90.48) - Jordan Dajani on Washington Commanders: Dajani picked seven Week 10 games with final scores, including a Commanders upset of the Giants, Lions over the Patriots in Munich, Chiefs over the Falcons, Packers edging the Vikings, 49ers over the Cowboys, Bengals over the Steelers and Ravens over the Chargers.
