Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where CBS Sports’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Buffalo Bills to win the division
Buffalo Bills (-136) ... Prisco: "They will give this team back to Josh Allen. The aggression will be back."
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division
The rest of the division isn't good and Baker Mayfield will be playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
Just average, and this team will make a deep playoff run.
Denver Broncos to win the division
I think the price here at +210 warrants some backing. I feel like people constantly look down on the Broncos for some reason.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
I'm taking the Bengals to not only win the AFC North, but make a very deep playoff run as well.
Caleb Downs to win Defensive Rookie of the Year
That defense should be improved this year with the additions of future Defensive Rookie of the Year Caleb Downs
Green Bay Packers to win the division
Green Bay Packers (+240) Prisco: "Young talent, a quarterback in Jordan Love who will be in the MVP mix and Micah Parsons when he returns. That's enough for me."
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
I'm taking the Bengals to not only win the AFC North, but make a very deep playoff run as well.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
There's much more value in taking the reigning Super Bowl champion at +215 or the San Francisco 49ers at +305 and rooting for the downfall of this newly constructed super team.
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
I'm high on the Dallas Cowboys this year and low on everyone else in the East.
Houston Texans to beat expectations
If C.J. Stroud starts looking like the quarterback he was as a rookie, the Texans are a legitimate Super Bowl sleeper.
New Orleans Saints to beat expectations
When it comes to the New Orleans Saints, I think they could be a sleeper in the NFC.
Detroit Lions to win the division
The Minnesota Vikings are definitely an interesting flier at +450, but I'll take the Lions at +175.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
The Saints have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL this year and play in the worst division, so +255 feels like pretty good value.
New England Patriots to win the division
Although Buffalo would be my pick to win the division, the gap between them and the Patriots ... is not so large that the value should be ignored.
Denver Broncos to win the division
The defense will again push them to win the division.
