# John Breech: An unsigned CBS Sports piece predicts the week each NFL team will suffer its first loss, effectively picking winners in each of those games, and names the Ravens as the league's final undefeated team after a 7-0 start. **Claimed:** Aug 19, 2026 **Pundit:** John Breech — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/john-breech **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/who-will-be-the-nfls-final-undefeated-team-in-2026/ 30 checkable claims — 30 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 15 of 30 have settled so far, averaging 66.7 out of 100, against 60 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So there you have it, the Ravens will be the final undefeated team, but that's not necessarily a good thing *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
