# David Harrison: Harrison gave five bold predictions for the Commanders' 2026 season: Jayden Daniels throwing 30 touchdown passes, 1,000-yard seasons for both Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs (with Diggs leading the team in catches), Sonny Styles winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, and a 10-7 record with a playoff berth. He also predicted Washington would open the season by beating the Eagles in Philadelphia and that Daniels would be Comeback Player of the Year. **Claimed:** Sep 8, 2026 **Pundit:** David Harrison — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/david-harrison **Outlet:** Locked On Commanders (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-commanders-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/7c3048/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252/episodes/c11faf0a-8fd8-4a2d-832c-ee3092c44d05/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252&awEpisodeId=c11faf0a-8fd8-4a2d-832c-ee3092c44d05&feed=psq7p3Ar 9 checkable claims — 3 player season numbers, 2 award picks, 1 depth chart call, 1 game outcome pick, 1 playoff pick and 1 season win total — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 9 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 2. > Washington commanders are gonna finish ten and seven, and they're gonna make the playoffs. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -

Seth Walder on Kayshon Boutte: Walder proposes five trades he believes should happen before Week 1 of the 2026 season: Jessie Bates III to the 49ers, Kayvon Thibodeaux to the Patriots, Keon Coleman to the Colts, Walker Little to the Cardinals, and Kayshon Boutte to the Commanders, where he says Boutte would immediately be Washington's No. 2 receiver. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/0263bd78-6c5c-41c5-8615-0467d8ef521a (scored 0) -

Mike Tannenbaum on Stefon Diggs: Tannenbaum argues the Chiefs should lean on the run game early while Mahomes recovers, says the Bills haven't done enough at receiver and would repeat their playoff shortcoming, expects AJ Brown to have a massive impact in New England, thinks George Pickens will earn a big raise, and offers free-agent fits: Deebo Samuel to Buffalo, Joey Bosa to Tampa Bay, Taylor Decker to Houston, and Stefon Diggs to San Francisco. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f7a29c18-face-49c0-b84f-33715b4c6678 (scored 0) ## More player season numbers The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Ross Jackson on Tyler Shough: Jackson projects a big sophomore jump for Saints QB Tyler Shuck, laying out a Drake May-style stat line (17 starts, 72% completions, ~4,601 passing yards, 24 TDs, 9 INTs) or a Bo Nix-style consistency line (over 4,000 yards, over 20 TDs, ~10 INTs), and says either path means a playoff season for New Orleans in 2026. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4dc05898-73fd-4fcb-92c4-a940d7e395ba (scored 3.63) -

Watt over 3.5 tackles+assists, adding that Watt will get two sacks.

He also picked the AFC West order and said Deion Sanders is more likely than Bill Belichick to have a winning record. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/f94f8499-af74-4a8d-a688-fd08cd52bb3c (scored 56.25) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
