# Logan Lazarczyk: Previewing the Raiders' 2026 season opener against Miami, Lazarczyk projects stat lines for Las Vegas' offense: Kirk Cousins throwing for 232 yards and two scores, Ashton Jeanty rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown plus 35 receiving yards, Mike Washington Jr. adding 47 rushing yards, and Brock Bowers catching eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. **Claimed:** Sep 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Logan Lazarczyk — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/logan-lazarczyk **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/onsi/las-vegas-predicting-offensive-stats-week-1-dolphins 3 checkable claims — 2 player season numbers and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Bowers will secure 8+ receptions. He will meet that mark, and as the clear top pass-catching option, the superstar tight end should be peppered with targets. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ashton Jeanty to record 3 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brock Bowers to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Jeanty to record 35 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Ashton Jeanty — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ashton-jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Brock Bowers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brock-bowers ## What others said about the same people - Steven Ruiz on Las Vegas Raiders: Previewing Week 3, Ruiz picked the Ravens to beat the Cowboys in Brazil, Jacksonville over New England in a low-scoring game, an upset by the Broncos over the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears, the Lions over the Jets, and his Hail Mary that Houston beats Indianapolis by two touchdowns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a30ff469-4972-4c48-855b-ba984e4de9d0 (scored 100) - Nate Tice on Las Vegas Raiders: Tice matched his guest on every Week 3 game, picking the Ravens over the Cowboys, the Jaguars over the Patriots in a close game, the Broncos to upset the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears and the Lions over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b8378e16-ea5c-4107-a883-28aaf0e71134 (scored 100) - Chris Broussard on Las Vegas Raiders: Broussard picked the Bills to beat the Chargers in a competitive, higher-scoring game, said the Chiefs will rout the Dolphins, and for upset alert parlayed the Patriots over the Jaguars and the Raiders over the Saints.

Watt over 3.5 tackles+assists, adding that Watt will get two sacks. He also predicted Rico Dowdle would make the Pro Bowl this season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1fbc5b8e-7449-41f4-a5a2-7029cc4ef65e (scored 0) - Rich Eisen on Micah Parsons: Eisen made a series of picks: Micah Parsons will out-sack any two Cowboys combined (after initially leaning the other way), the NFC North is more likely to produce a Super Bowl team than the NFC East, Eagles wins will outnumber Cowboys losses, Bo Nix/Courtland Sutton will out-touchdown Cam Ward/Calvin Ridley, and Marvin Harrison Jr./James Conner will beat Kamara/Olave in yards and TDs.
