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.

Quinnen Williams to win Team MVP (non-QB)
Cowboys: DT Quinnen Williams.
Colston Loveland to win Team MVP (non-QB)
Bears: TE Colston Loveland.
Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
My prediction was that he would make the announcement between Aug. 9 and Aug. 16. If you look at everything that's happened with Donald in the month of August, all signs are pointing to a return.
Brandon Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
Brandon Coleman is expected to step in while Tunsil is out
Seattle Seahawks to beat expectations
five teams that we're not talking about enough. 1. Seahawks.
Justin Jefferson to finish top 3 at his position, by receiving yards
He'll be back to proving he's a top-three wideout this season.
Luther Burden III to record 73 receptions
projecting he will catch 73 passes for 1,057 yards and six touchdowns in 2026
Luther Burden III to record 1,057 receiving yards
projecting he will catch 73 passes for 1,057 yards and six touchdowns in 2026
Luther Burden III to finish top 27 at his position, by fantasy points
The CBS Sports Fantasy Football team ranks Burden as WR27
Luther Burden III to record 6 receiving tds
projecting he will catch 73 passes for 1,057 yards and six touchdowns in 2026
That's certainly possible with the NFL's best defense, if Stroud can perhaps return to 2023 form.
Houston Texans to win the division
I believe the Texans will repeat as AFC South champions, and they are +110 favorites
Devon Witherspoon to finish top 5 at his position, by interceptions
Devon Witherspoon is a top-five cornerback
Denver Broncos to make the playoffs
Denver should be a shoo-in playoff team at worst.
New Orleans Saints to beat expectations
Here's one team well outside the projected playoff picture to be bullish on.
Seattle Seahawks to beat expectations
1. Seahawks ... they're not getting much buzz. That's a mistake. Last year wasn't just some lucky run.
Denver Broncos to beat expectations
3. Broncos ... The Broncos were likely a freak injury away from the Super Bowl.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat expectations
4. Jaguars ... But what about the internal development? Trevor Lawrence caught fire down the stretch of last season
Green Bay Packers to beat expectations
2. Packers ... perhaps this is actually the year the offense becomes one of the league's best.
Jaxson Dart to record 9–15 passing interceptions
Interceptions 12 9–15
Tyler Shough to record 3,700–4,500 passing yards

Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Sanders belongs because he could very well open 2026 as Cleveland's starter.
