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.

Detroit Lions to make the playoffs
the Saints are going to be and the Lions are going to be new playoff teams and the Giants
New York Giants to beat expectations
But I've said the Giants are also my pick for my double the win total team.
Buffalo Bills to make the playoffs
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, CJ Stroud, Justin Herbert, Drake May, Joe Burrow, and Mahomes make the playoffs.
New York Jets to finish with 5 wins
Offensively, if Geno can be a C-plus quarterback, they should win four or five games.
I'm going to go with Baltimore... Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team... Steelers... Cleveland, I don't hate them.
I think these two teams, in my opinion, are the best two teams in the NFL, Seahawks-Rams, one and two in my book.
Seattle Seahawks to finish with 12 wins
I think Seattle could win 12.
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
Jake Slaughter, the second round pick, will now play center, not guard.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
I'll give Kansas City credit, I think they get back to the playoffs.
Leonard Moore to be picked “top three of the NFL draft” (picks 1–3)
I think he could get selected in the top three of the NFL draft.
Buffalo Bills to win the division
the bills are the largest favorite ... I'll take. Them to win the division.
New England Patriots to make the playoffs
Patriots, Bengals, Chiefs as wildcard.
David Bailey to be 1st on the depth chart
David Bailey on the edge is going to start.
Los Angeles Chargers to finish with 11 wins
I have the Chargers 11-6
Houston Texans to win the division
So I have the Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chargers winning their division.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
a little surprise, I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
I really like Fernando Mendoza. My guess is he starts somewhere, somewhere before Thanksgiving.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
Baltimore, by the way, is going to be a new playoff team, too.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
the second easiest schedule in football is the Saints... I like the top two teams.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I'm still going with Philadelphia winning the NFC East.
I'm going to go with the Giants over the Cowboys... I have the Cowboys better, but not a playoff team third. And Washington just doesn't have enough talent.
I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams... San Francisco, I worry about it... And then Arizona, bit of a mess... Arizona at fourth place.
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
They draft kid out of Clemson. He'll start it right. Tackle Blake Miller.
Detroit Lions to win the division
I think the Lions have a combination of the best roster in division and the easiest schedule in the entire league this year.
Los Angeles Rams to finish with 11 wins
They're going to be a really, really good team and win 11 games.
