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 Fox 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.

Drake Maye to be 1st on the depth chart
Conclusion: Overreaction ... But Maye is the team's franchise quarterback for a reason, and he needs to figure out how to work through this adversity at the start of his career. He has a better chance of breaking out while playing on the field instead of watching from the sideline.
Las Vegas Raiders to make the playoffs
The Raiders Are A Legitimate Playoff Contender ... Conclusion: Not An Overreaction ... And they have a legitimate chance to compete for a spot in the postseason if they can continue at this pace.
Justin Herbert to stay with Los Angeles Chargers
Jim Harbaugh (signed through 2028) and Justin Herbert (2029) aren’t going anywhere.
Kevin O'Connell to win NFL Coach of the Year
But don’t count out O’Connell, who might be the early front-runner for NFL Coach of the Year and has gotten the most out of middling QBs in the past.
Jalon Daniels to be 1st on the depth chart
If it was hard to win with Mayfield at quarterback, it will be much worse with an undrafted rookie starting in Jalon Daniels.
Jefferson might not miss any time and play next week against the Dolphins
Josh Allen to win MVP
That's why even after this ugly performance, Allen is the clear MVP frontrunner three games into the season. Even when he's completely off his game, he's going to be tough to beat.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
the Falcons quarterback competition has finally been settled. We'll have to wait for confirmation from Kevin Stefanski, but Michael Penix Jr. should be the unquestioned starter after his performance in Green Bay.
Bijan Robinson to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure
The case for Robinson as the NFL's best running back is strong.
Indianapolis Colts to beat expectations
I’m going to go with the Colts for this reason: I have way more faith in their offense... Once they settle down, they’re good enough to stay in the playoff race, as long as Jones and Taylor stay healthy all year long.
Houston Texans to beat expectations
Last year, the Texans got off to a miserable 0-3 start and then lost two games the rest of the way. I expect a similar turnaround this season... they should rack up enough low-quality wins to stick around the playoff race all season.
Houston Texans to beat expectations
I tried to be different from my colleagues here. I kept coming back to the Texans... In just a month and a half, Houston’s season could be in great shape.
Houston Texans to beat expectations
it’s basically a toss-up between the Buccaneers and the Texans, and I’ll give the edge to Houston — in part because of the history that Greg pointed out and in part because I think the AFC South is worse than the NFC South
Los Angeles Chargers to beat expectations
I expect a similar resuscitation effort from Jim Harbaugh here.
Los Angeles Chargers to beat Buffalo Bills
get ready for the Chargers to do Chargers things on the road against the best team in the NFL in the Buffalo Bills, right? Nope, when everyone expects them to fall on their face, these are the moments the Chargers rise up and hit teams over their heads.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the Super Bowl
It pains me to say this, because I picked the Chargers to win the Super Bowl
Houston Texans to beat expectations
the Texans are the 0-2 team in the best shape to turn their season around. They’ve all but trademarked this, starting 0-2 in three of the last four years
Minnesota Vikings defense to be top 5 in the league
Don’t be surprised to look up at the end of the year and see that Minnesota has a top-five defense.
Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs
And I don’t see the Cowboys being that good, even though I think they'll make the playoffs this season.
Trinidad Chambliss to be 1st quarterback off the board
Chambliss might be the first quarterback to come off the board.
Trinidad Chambliss to be picked “first-round pick” (picks 1–32)
But if the NFL draft were today, he wouldn't just be a first-round pick. Chambliss might be the first quarterback to come off the board.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Tagovailoa slots in as QB2 behind Penix, who's set to handle starting duties in Week 3
Tua Tagovailoa to be 2nd on the depth chart
Now healthy, Tagovailoa slots in as QB2 behind Penix, who's set to handle starting duties in Week 3.
Kyle Shanahan to win Coach of the Year
Coach Of The Year — 3. Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers
Greg Rousseau — Defensive Player of the Year: No. 3 on ballot
Defensive Player Of The Year — 3. Greg Rousseau, Buffalo Bills
