# Pete Prisco: Prisco picks final scores for every Week 2 NFL game, with several teams that lost in Week 1 — the Chargers, Patriots, Cowboys, Packers and Rams — bouncing back, and the Bills outlasting the Lions in a shootout. **Claimed:** Sep 18, 2026 **Pundit:** Pete Prisco — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/pete-prisco **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-2-nfl-picks/ 16 checkable claims — 16 score predictions — 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. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > For example, the Chargers will beat the Raiders and cover this week after a terrible showing in losing to the Cardinals at home last week. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Baltimore Ravens 33 — Saints 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers 24 — Raiders 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans 28 — Bengals 23** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars 23 — Broncos 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Atlanta Falcons 21 — Panthers 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **New England Patriots 21 — Steelers 14** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers 27 — Jets 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30 — Browns 10** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dallas Cowboys 31 — Commanders 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks 19 — Cardinals 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **San Francisco 49ers 29 — Dolphins 10** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs 27 — Colts 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams 30 — Giants 14** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills 36 — Lions 30** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles 30 — Titans 13** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears 30 — Vikings 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/texans - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/falcons - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/rams - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears ## What others said about the same people - Randy Gurzi on Justin Barron: Gurzi predicts the Cowboys' 17-man practice squad, naming each player he expects Dallas to sign, including a surprise addition of released Giants tackle Evan Neal. He also predicts Jaydon Blue will be claimed off waivers by another team and that Sam Williams will land elsewhere. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a37588ef-f76e-4f06-a951-a85a563271d5 (scored 0) - John Shipley on Jalen McLeod: 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) - Jeff Kerr on Maximus Pulley: Kerr ranks the Eagles' eight undrafted free agents by their chances of making the initial 53-man roster, with Kapena Gushiken the most likely and predicts at least one UDFA makes the 53.

He also sees Kamari Ramsey stepping up as the primary backup safety behind a top three of Bullock, Pitre and Blankenship, and views Jared Wayne as a fringe roster player squeezed by receivers he calls virtual locks. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/14048ef2-7210-46fd-825a-b9849c144a9f (scored 100) - Jason La Canfora on Gerad Lichtenhan: La Canfora predicts the Ravens will keep several young players on their practice squad — DL Kaimon Rucker, LB Dominic DeLuca, LB Ethan Burke, CB Amani Oruwariye, OT Gerad Lichtenhan and QB Joe Fagnano — and expects the team to make at least one trade from its surplus of cornerbacks. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/6d42cee5-8b2d-4c78-a41b-ed2daab90019 (scored 0) - Lance Zierlein on Lewis Bond: Zierlein expects Texans QB C.J. Stroud to play roughly 10-12 plays in Thursday's preseason game, with Davis Mills going to halftime and newly signed Brett Rypien playing the entire second half. He also said if Tank Dell isn't ready, Lewis Bond and Jaden Hall would both likely make the roster, and predicted Keelan Rutledge will be the starting center with Wyatt Teller and Braden Smith starting. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/20e6ff7b-1de6-4de6-9567-3997edaea6b8 (scored 100) ## More score predictions The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Tony Fusco on Detroit Lions: In his satirical Week 2 NFL predictions, Tony Fusco called exact final scores in five games: Lions over Bills, Panthers over Falcons, Bears over Vikings, Patriots over Steelers, and Eagles over Titans. He also predicted Atlanta would trick Tua into missing the game entirely. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/84c5d696-88f5-4b4d-9990-706a1698baa5 (scored 0) - 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 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) --- 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.
