It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 8 have settled, averaging 51.8 out of 100, against 58.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Still, they should have enough to win this one fairly comfortably. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Philadelphia Eagles 23 — Bears 10** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 33.33 out of 100, against 54.46 for a naive guess - **Cincinnati Bengals 24 — Steelers 10** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: scored 23.81 out of 100, against 93.97 for a naive guess - **Jacksonville Jaguars 23 — Patriots 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 50 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess - **Houston Texans 20 — Colts 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 45.24 out of 100, against 96.35 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens 31 — Cowboys 27** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 97.62 out of 100, against 43.97 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Rams 24 — Broncos 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 42.86 out of 100, against 91.59 for a naive guess - **Minnesota Vikings 23 — Buccaneers 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: scored 97.62 out of 100, against 34.45 for a naive guess - **Green Bay Packers 23 — Falcons 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 23.81 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Baltimore Ravens: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 97.62) - Chris Long on Cincinnati Bengals: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo. He also backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3df9ea25-e57f-4fd7-b20c-c910a1c3633a (scored 0) - Steven Ruiz on Houston Texans: 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 0) - Nate Tice on Baltimore Ravens: 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 Simms on Green Bay Packers: Simms picked the Packers to beat the Falcons in the Thursday night game by a low score, expecting a defensive struggle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b12420c5-837c-4a24-8a8e-c74b10cc697c (scored 9.52) - Sam Monson on Minnesota Vikings: Monson picked the Chargers to beat the Bills outright (jokingly crediting Buffalo's gray 'Nickel City' jerseys), took the Vikings to win outright in Tampa, and said Seattle would destroy Washington. He also reiterated his Super Bowl pick of Denver over the Rams, called the Dolphins destined for the No. 1 overall pick, and said the Saints are a worst-to-first candidate in the NFC South. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0b810ffd-fd93-4ea2-a208-b1353dea5fb0 (scored 100) ## More score predictions The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Chris Simms on Kansas City Chiefs: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 100) - Jake Arthur on Kansas City Chiefs: Arthur expects a close Chiefs win on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead, predicting a final score of 27-23 for Kansas City. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ca7ab74e-ab34-4ed6-a77f-2c7e9f8c8c4d (scored 97.62) - Zach Hicks on Kansas City Chiefs: Hicks predicts a lower-scoring, field-goal-heavy game with the Chiefs beating the Colts 23-19, citing Indianapolis' red-zone success against Kansas City historically. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ddbaddad-c15e-4e6f-a6ac-f066de6cdc2a (scored 97.62) - Nate Tice on Dallas Cowboys: Tice picked the Bengals over the Texans in a low-scoring game, the Jaguars at Denver, the Bears over the Vikings, the Patriots over the Steelers and the Rams to edge the Giants, and his Hail Mary was the Cowboys scoring 40 on Washington. He also floated Abdul Carter as a possible All-Pro. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b6211c80-3d1c-46b8-8a0c-151fc0ba92de (scored 100) - Marcus Ray on Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Marcus predicted a 30-13 Buccaneers win over Cleveland with three touchdowns and three field goals, and picked the Raiders to beat a Jim Harbaugh team to start 2-0. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/aa09b337-f1fa-49b0-bc4b-5e2bbaddb5df (scored 19.05) - Ryan LaVoy on Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LaVoy predicted a 28-10 Buccaneers win over the Browns, said even the Falcons would beat Cleveland, and named Detroit, Baltimore and the Rams as teams he expects in the playoffs. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/227e256e-a31d-413d-a568-7f7250dcd161 (scored 16.67) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
