The page this came from has changed since we captured it on Aug 5, 2026. The quote and evidence above are from our capture, not from what the page says today.
29 checkable claims — 16 season win totals, 7 playoff picks, 4 division winners and 2 seeding, byes and home field — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
All 29 have settled, averaging 44.8 out of 100, against 49.3 for a naive guess at the same calls.

- Mike MoraitisTrade and Signing Calls · DaRon BlandMiss · 0Moraitis names five Cowboys he expects to be playing their final season opener in Dallas in 2026: George Pickens (likely tag-and-trade or departure), Malik Hooker, Luke Schoonmaker, DeMarvion Overshown and DaRon Bland.

- Richard ShermanSeason Win Totals · Las Vegas RaidersMiss · 0Sherman previewed every division: he picked Seattle to win the NFC West on a tiebreaker over San Francisco (both 11-11 wins), the Lions over the Packers in the North, the Eagles to run away with the East, Tampa Bay in the South, and Kansas City, Buffalo and the Ravens' division rivals in the AFC. He picked an Eagles–Chiefs Super Bowl with Philadelphia repeating, Joe Burrow for MVP, and gave a top-five power ranking.
