# Sayre Bedinger: Sarah projected Bo Nix as the starter with Sam Ehlinger winning the backup quarterback job, Michael Bandy heading back to the practice squad, nine offensive linemen kept including Cage Casey, Alex Poucheski, Frank Crum and Alex Forsyth, and said the projected roster is a Super Bowl-winning team. **Claimed:** Jul 23, 2026 **Pundit:** Sayre Bedinger — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/sayre-bedinger **Outlet:** Locked On Broncos (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-broncos-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/ed7d56/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/596acaf7-a268-4ea6-94a9-efedb9c15d14/episodes/eeeee063-ba36-4b97-88cd-1b23fa3f89c3/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=596acaf7-a268-4ea6-94a9-efedb9c15d14&awEpisodeId=eeeee063-ba36-4b97-88cd-1b23fa3f89c3&feed=f6CBcmwn 9 checkable claims — 6 roster spot calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > I think it's a Super Bowl winning team. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Michael Bandy to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Michael Bandy, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Frank Crum to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Frank Crum, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bo Nix to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Alex Palczewski to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Alex Palczewski, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Alex Forsyth to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Alex Forsyth, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sam Ehlinger to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Sam Ehlinger, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sam Ehlinger to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Sam Ehlinger, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kage Casey to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Kage Casey, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Michael Bandy — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/michael-bandy - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos - Frank Crum — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/frank-crum - Bo Nix — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bo-nix - Alex Palczewski — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/alex-palczewski - Alex Forsyth — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/alex-forsyth - Sam Ehlinger — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/sam-ehlinger - Kage Casey — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/kage-casey ## What others said about the same people - Jared Dubin on Denver Broncos: Dubin picks Denver to win narrowly in Kansas City, 21-20. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/b4339e96-6ced-44c2-88e9-b490d027df7b (scored 2.38) - Tyler Sullivan on Denver Broncos: Sullivan picks Denver to beat Kansas City 24-20. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/d8636e57-b6d8-471a-a98a-75871c7ee5bf (scored 9.52) - Jordan Dajani on Denver Broncos: Dajani picks the Broncos over the Chiefs, 17-14. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/12e23aa9-d2ca-4db3-bfb0-25c09e63b1eb (scored 7.14) - John Breech on Denver Broncos: In the Pick Six newsletter, Breech picks the Broncos to upset the Chiefs on Monday night, 23-21. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/31f3511a-a211-46e0-a6dd-d2cfb70ee207 (scored 4.76) - Jared Dubin on Denver Broncos: The unbylined CBS Sports preview picks Denver to win at Arrowhead in Week 1, 21-20, and expects Kenneth Walker III to be Kansas City's lead back while Jaylen Waddle serves as Bo Nix's top receiving target in Denver. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cdfdacff-d438-489d-bad2-1d9587b82609 (scored 2.38) - Danny Parkins on Denver Broncos: Parkins picked the Giants to upset Dallas, the Steelers to beat Atlanta by two scores, the Bears to beat Carolina, the Bills to beat Houston and Denver to beat Kansas City outright; he also said Justin Herbert will win an MVP and had the Bengals as AFC North champs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/36c480cc-6b54-4cea-8204-3fc00ea6493c (scored 0) ## More roster spot calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - John Shipley on Jack Kiser: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 0) - Nick Shook on Aaron Donald: Shook unveiled his first NFL power rankings of the year, putting the Rams first, the Broncos second and the defending champion Seahawks only third, with the Dolphins last. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ea18c6ec-7662-4e66-91ed-4d0ef9d7d97d (scored 100) - Charean Williams on Israel Abanikanda: Williams expects the Cowboys to elevate practice squad running back Israel Abanikanda to the active roster for Sunday's season opener after Malik Davis's hip injury. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1b1ecc54-8c96-4764-b595-85a9f5f0cd76 (scored 0) - Ralph Ventre on Greg Dortch: Ventre expects the Bills to elevate Greg Dortch from the practice squad to handle punt return duties for the season opener at Houston. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4601fedf-7b96-4776-ac37-a0b12d43da83 (scored 0) - Patricia Traina on Braxton Berrios: Traina projects the Giants' Week 1 inactive list: Darius Slayton, Thomas Fidone II, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Elijah Campbell, J.C.
