# Ryan Reynolds: Reynolds predicted win-loss records for all 32 teams, playoff seeding for both conferences, several league-leader player predictions, and picked the Bengals to beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl.

**Claimed:** Sep 5, 2023

**Outlet:** The 33rd Team — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-33rd-team
**How it reached us:** published in writing
**Original:** https://www.the33rdteam.com/2023-nfl-record-predictions-win-loss-projections-for-every-team/

66 checkable claims — 32 season win totals, 14 playoff picks, 8 division winners, 6 positional finishes, 2 conference champions, 2 seeding, byes and home field, 1 award pick and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 38 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 66 have settled, averaging 47.7 out of 100, against 55.6 for a naive guess at the same calls.

## More season win totals

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

- Lance Moore: Moore predicts the Saints offense jumps from bottom-10 to a top-10 offense in yardage in 2026, and that scoring will rise accordingly. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/91d883b0-0b05-4478-a50f-15fe3191090a (not settled)
- Dan Patrick: Dan Patrick named his top four teams in the NFC in order (Lions, Packers, Rams, Eagles), said he still has the Lions winning the Super Bowl while naming Kansas City as his AFC favorite, floated Tampa Bay reaching 12-13 wins and home-field advantage, and expects Notre Dame to run the table. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8bfb29d3-4f33-49ca-a9f2-3b4de3843c95 (not settled)

---

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.
