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.

Baltimore Ravens to win the division
you have some teams in there that I wouldn't trust, like the Bengals and the chargers... To me, Baltimore is probably a little more trustworthy.
Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
I think the Chargers take the AFC West.
Denver Broncos to make the playoffs
I still think the Broncos are enough to make it to the AFC playoffs, albeit as a wildcard team.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
I like the Bengals to just barely edge the Ravens and take the AFC North.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
I think the Chargers take the AFC West.
Buffalo Bills to win the division
I think the Bills are going to take the AFC East... So I like the Bills to win the AFC East.
New England Patriots to make the playoffs
The wildcard teams... Patriots are the most obvious better team, worse record team than I've ever seen... I think they just fall a little short of Buffalo in that spot.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
still enough for the Ravens to make the playoffs.
Drake Maye to win MVP
And Drake May, I think, is going to win an MVP before his career is done.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
the Raiders have named a starter. They've made it to be Kirk Cousins. Frankly, I think they're making a huge mistake. I'd start Fernando Mendoza week one against the Dolphins.
Indianapolis Colts to make the playoffs
In the AFC South, the Indianapolis Colts
Bo Nix to finish top 15 at his position, by passing yards
Is he a top 15 quarterback in the league, Rachel? I think he is.
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Broncos
Chiefs Broncos... I'm going with the Chiefs minus two and a half... But I will go with the Chiefs at home.
Minnesota Vikings to beat Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings. Minus one and a half against the reeling Green Bay Packers... I believe they take down the Packers in an impressive win
Philadelphia Eagles 27 — Commanders 10
Next up, Commanders Eagles... I like Philly here in, you know, a 27-10 Eagles role.
Los Angeles Chargers to beat Arizona Cardinals
Give me the Arizona Cardinals getting 10 and a half against the Chargers. I like the Chargers to win, but are they going to win by more than 10 and a half?
Miami Dolphins to beat Raiders
Next up, Dolphins Raiders. I'm going Dolphins. Only because Kirk Cousins is starting.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Tampa Bay
Bucks, Bengals... I'll give the Bengals a win, but I'm going with a three and a half for Tampa Bay.
Baltimore Ravens to beat Colts
I can't fire on the Colts. So for now, I'm going Ravens minus three and a half.
Dallas Cowboys to beat Giants
Then the Cowboys Giants, the G-men. I'll be fading those bums all season. Give me the Cowboys, minus two and a half.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Tampa Bay
I'll give the Bengals a win, but I'm going with a three and a half for Tampa Bay.
Minnesota Vikings to beat Green Bay Packers
Minnesota Vikings. Minus one and a half against the reeling Green Bay Packers... I believe they take down the Packers in an impressive win
Kansas City Chiefs to beat Broncos
Chiefs, Broncos... I'm going with the Chiefs, minus two and a half... But I will go with the Chiefs at home.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
I said over a month ago that they would go back to the playoffs. I still think that's probably the case... I might say under, make the playoffs, but don't win it.
Dallas Cowboys to beat Giants
And then the Cowboys Giants, the G-men. I'll be fading those bums all season. Give me the Cowboys, minus two and a half.
