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.

Minnesota Vikings to make the playoffs
I'm starting to believe they've got a real shot at making the playoffs.
Makai Lemon to win Offensive Rookie of the Year
But I think Makai Lemon, who's right now at plus 1,400 in a lot of places, that's a nice little sneaky pick for Offensive Rookie of the Year.

David Bailey to win Defensive Rookie of the Year
I am led to believe David Bailey has an excellent shot at being this year's defensive rookie... Of the year.
Justin Herbert to win MVP
I'm going to go with Justin Herbert, who's like plus 850, plus 1,000 everywhere... I would bet Justin Herbert.

Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
the Bengals are going to be a lot of people's picks to... the team that didn't make the playoffs last year, making the playoffs this year
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
So we gave you three new playoff teams yesterday in Baltimore, Kansas City, and Cincinnati.
New York Giants to make the playoffs
I think if Jackson Dart can stay out of the blue tent, I think it's a playoff team.
Los Angeles Rams to finish with 11 wins
they're going to be a really, really good team and win 11 games
New York Giants to beat expectations
But I've said the Giants are also my pick for my double the win total team.
I'm going to go Chicago second... I'm going to choose Green Bay over Minnesota... Minnesota is going to be the best fourth-place team in the NFL.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
Finally, the NFC West, a little surprise, I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I like Eagles. I like Rams.
New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs
I've got three new playoff teams in the NFC, the Lions, the Saints and the Giants.
Los Angeles Rams to win the division
I like Eagles. I like Rams.
I think these two teams, in my opinion, are the best two teams in the NFL, Seahawks-Rams, one and two in my book.
I think Carolina will vie for the division title and a playoff spot. I like the top two teams. Tampa Bay, you got a coach on the hot seat... So I'm going to pick Atlanta for fourth place.
Philadelphia Eagles to make the playoffs
I'm still going with philadelphia winning the nfc east
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
So we gave you three new playoff teams yesterday in Baltimore, Kansas City, and Cincinnati.
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.
We did pick the Colts as the second place team in the AFC South over the Jags
Detroit Lions to win the division
NFC North. I think the Lions have a combination of the best roster in division and the easiest schedule in the entire league this year.
