# Nick Wright: In part two of his gambling show, Nick Wright ran through NFC (and recapped AFC) win-total picks, division winners and make/miss-the-playoffs bets, backing the Chiefs, Jaguars, Raiders, Bears, Buccaneers and Falcons to clear their totals while predicting Commanders, Bucs and Rams division titles. **Claimed:** Aug 29, 2025 **Pundit:** Nick Wright — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nick-wright **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/whats-wright-with-nick-wright/nick-wright-s-nfl-playoff-predictions-nfc-win-totals-rashee-rice-suspension 30 checkable claims — 13 season win totals, 6 playoff picks, 3 division winners, 3 game outcome picks, 2 surprise team calls, 1 depth chart call, 1 position group ranking and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 17 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 27 of 30 have settled so far, averaging 44.4 out of 100, against 45.6 for a naive guess at the same calls. > The Bucks are going to win ten games. Ten games will get them in the playoffs, at least ten games, I should say. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Kyler Murray to move to Pittsburgh Steelers** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Kyler Murray, Pittsburgh Steelers -
