## More top player lists

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Jason Cabinda: Cabinda named the Ravens as the AFC team that has closed the gap on the Chiefs, gave a top-five list of players who play with a fullback mentality, predicted Penei Sewell will be a perennial Pro Bowler, and picked Michael Penix Jr. to break out in Atlanta. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9861ca95-f0a3-4678-8382-6a0548b07c3b (scored 100)
- Rich Eisen: Eisen ranked his top five most impressive Pro Bowl campaigns of the season, topped by Sam Darnold, and predicted that Sunday would be Aaron Rodgers' last game with the Jets. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/55a977f9-9670-42fa-ba2f-141be02f583c (scored 0)
- Rich Eisen: Asked to rank the 2024 quarterback draft class two years in, Rich Eisen put Caleb Williams first, Drake Maye second, Jayden Daniels third, Bo Nix fourth and JJ McCarthy/Michael Penix fifth. He also expects JJ McCarthy to start Week 1 next season and guesses Atlanta finds a way to keep Kirk Cousins. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/3e3e89c3-6f3a-42c8-8970-f848797f8e6d (scored 80)
- Nick Wright: Nick trusts Josh Allen over the Broncos defense, picks the Bills to win outright in Denver (Bills +1.5 as his lock), picks the Patriots to beat the Texans by more than three, likes the 49ers to keep it close but not win, and predicts the Rams blow out the Bears roughly 42-28 with Stafford throwing about five TDs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/86bcecae-59c2-4e55-9b5f-8d47778f1f67 (scored 0)
- Rich Eisen: Eisen argues the Bengals' season isn't over without Joe Burrow, projecting Jake Browning to go a game over .500 the rest of the way for a 10-7 finish that could earn a wild card, and he thinks Cincinnati can beat Minnesota to go 3-0. He also gave a top-five MVP list through two weeks (Josh Allen first) and said Jonathan Taylor is on pace to win the rushing title. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4d82508a-1712-4d2f-ac2e-8fcba822a18c (scored 65)
- Mike Mayock: Mayock says Philadelphia and Baltimore are the two most talented teams in the league, predicts Ravens DT Travis Jones has a breakout year and that Baltimore scores 30-plus points a game, believes Washington is not a one-year aberration with Jayden Daniels becoming a franchise quarterback, and ranks quarterbacks into tiers. He also thinks Aaron Rodgers will land in his 'solid' third tier and help Pittsburgh have a solid year. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/6e92c8cc-6496-49e7-a19e-33fde6d8694d (scored 95)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
