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 The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast)’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.

Chicago Bears to finish with 9 wins
They're a nine or a ten win team this season.
Carolina Panthers to finish with 7 wins
I think the Falcons are an overteam, same with the Panthers... They can win seven games.
Pittsburgh Steelers to finish with 9 wins
Mike Tomlin's gonna get you to over eight and a half
Kansas City Chiefs to finish with 13 wins
They're a thirteen win team until proven otherwise.
Las Vegas Raiders to finish with 7 wins
the Raiders go over on six and a half
Minnesota Vikings to finish with 7 wins
that's an under... For them at nine and a half... win seven eight games
Buffalo Bills to finish with 12 wins
Bills are a clear overteam at eleven and a half.
Tennessee Titans to finish with 6 wins
I think they hit their over on five and a half wins... I think they can eke out six wins.
Jalen Hurts to finish top 5 at his position, by passing yards
You would put him right next right behind Lamar Burrow, Allen Mahomes... I think he's got to be right there.
Anthony Richardson to be cut
I will be floored if the Colts move off of Anthony Richardson, cut him, trade him for a mid round pick, whatever it would be, because I think they believe in the talent
Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
The Chargers. I expect them back in the playoffs
Shedeur Sanders to be 4th on the depth chart
I am fourth on a bad quarterback depth chart for a bad organization... because if you're fourth on that depth chart, you're a long ways away from actually playing meaningful football in the NFL
Justin Herbert to finish top 5 at his position, by passing yards
Explain to me why Justin Herbert isn't the fifth best quarterback in football because he passes my beautiful eye test.
we will begin with my top ten teams heading in to the upcoming football season... Number ten, it's the Chargers of Los Angeles... Number nine the Washington Commanders... Number eight the San Francisco forty nine ers... Cincinnati Bengals [number seven]... Number six... this Rams team... Number five... Baltimore Ravens... Number four... the Bills... The Detroit Lions come in at number three... Number two the Kansas City Chiefs... Number one the Philadelphia Eagles
Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl
If the explosiveness can return to the Chiefs offense, I expect them back in the Super Bowl.
Los Angeles Chargers to finish with 8 wins
it's going to be even more exciting when Herbert goes eight and nine and you're like, but actually he throws such a tight spiral
Saquon Barkley to finish top 1 at his position, by rushing yards
with the best running back in the NFL
Top ten quarterbacks in the NFL heading into the twenty twenty five NFL season, Number ten, Jalen Hurts ... Number nine ... Baker Mayfield ... Number eight Jared Goff ... Number seven ... Jaden Daniels ... Number six ... Matt Stafford ... Number five ... Justin Herbert ... Number four ... Lamar Jackson ... Number three. Joe Burrow ... Number two ... Josh Allen ... Number one ... Mahomes
They are the best organization in the NFL, with the best offensive line in the NFL
Micah Parsons to move to Dallas Cowboys
Micah will be in Dallas, Hendrickson will be in Cincinnati, McLaurin will be in Washington.
Terry McLaurin to move to Washington Commanders
McLaurin will be in Washington.
Trey Hendrickson to move to Cincinnati Bengals
I will be floored if they don't sign Trey Hendrickson ... Hendrickson will be in Cincinnati
Green Bay Packers to win the division
I'm gonna pick the Packers to win the division.
Kyler Murray to move
And I think there's a pretty good chance that Kyler Murray is playing somewhere else in twenty twenty six.
Dallas Cowboys to finish with ? wins
Wouldn't shock me if they're just competitive, probably not a playoff team, But like I could see them in the mix to be like eight nine wins.
