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.

Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
They draft kid out of Clemson. He'll start it right. Tackle Blake Miller.
We did pick the Colts as the second place team in the AFC South over the Jags
New York Giants to beat expectations
But I've said the Giants are also my pick for my double the win total team.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
So we gave you three new playoff teams yesterday in Baltimore, Kansas City, and Cincinnati.
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.
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.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
Finally, the NFC West, a little surprise, I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
The Bengals, the Ravens and the Chiefs are new playoff teams.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
The Bengals, the Ravens and the Chiefs are new playoff teams.
I think these two teams, in my opinion, are the best two teams in the NFL, Seahawks-Rams, one and two in my book.
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.

I'm still going with Philadelphia, winning the NFC East.
Los Angeles Rams to finish with 11 wins
They're going to be a really, really good team and win 11 games.

Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
The Bengals, the Ravens and the Chiefs are new playoff teams.
Los Angeles Rams to win the division
I like Rams.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division

Seattle Seahawks to finish with 12 wins
I think Seattle could win 12.
New York Giants to beat expectations
But I've said the Giants are also my pick for my double the win total team. I think their talent is much better than people understand.
New England Patriots to finish with 9 wins
But I could see so many ways this team being eight to nine, nine, and eight this season.
