John Shipley covers the Jacksonville Jaguars for Sports Illustrated, writing on roster moves, the trade deadline, depth-chart shifts and game outcomes. The coverage also touches the Texans, Rams, Broncos, Commanders and Eagles, with recurring attention to players such as Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr.
Across 15 graded calls in 9 articles, John Shipley scores 80.56% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 78.78, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims.

Game calls show that game’s closing betting line under their grade: a dated fact from nflverse, for context and never part of a grade. MissedTakes takes no bets and earns nothing from any sportsbook.
The same 87, by how often their calls landed, with no credit for difficulty.
John Shipley isn’t ranked yet: a record is ranked from 10 graded articles, so a lucky first handful can’t top the table.
Houston Texans to beat Chargers
“they are facing an 0-7 Chargers team that looks like the biggest mess in the NFL. The Chargers have to win eventually, so maybe this is the week, but it feels unlikely.”
Closing line (Nov 8): Texans by 5.5 · favorite pick, Texans about 2 in 3 (67%).
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Baltimore Ravens
“some other very winnable games against the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, and the Pittsburgh Steelers”
Houston Texans to beat Los Angeles Chargers
“four expected wins against the Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, Cleveland Browns, and then the Colts”
Houston Texans to beat Giants
“The Texans' next four games are winnable as well, though, with four expected wins against the Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, Cleveland Browns, and then the Colts.”

Jalen McLeod to land on the practice squad
“LB Jack Kiser; LB Jalen McLeod ... McLeod doesn't have much NFL film to go off of.”
Jabbar Muhammad to make the roster
“I think the Jaguars would try to get Muhammad on the roster for another year”
Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig to land on the practice squad
“S Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig ... spent last year mostly on the practice squad”
Jack Kiser to land on the practice squad
“LB Jack Kiser; LB Jalen McLeod ... It feels unlikely each gets claimed, though.”
Jabbar Muhammad to make the roster
“But he has made plays more often than not since the Jaguars first hit the field in 2026, and Tuesday was one of his most productive days of practice yet. I am close to moving him to lock status when it comes to the 53-man roster.”
Branson Combs to make the roster
“he looks like a lock for the training camp this year”
Matt Dickerson to make the roster
“He looks like he will make the 53-man roster.”
Albert Regis to make the roster
“out of the five interior defensive linemen on our latest projected 53-man roster, Regis would be No. 5 in the pecking order”
Matt Dickerson to make the roster
“I had Matt Dickerson making the 53-man roster in my latest projection ... it feels safe to say he is going to make this team by the time they cut it down to 53 players.”
