# Jason McIntyre: Guest-hosting The Herd, Jason McIntyre gave season win-total picks (overs on the Lions, Eagles and Jaguars; the Patriots as an 8-9 win team), ranked his top 10 NFL quarterbacks with Josh Allen first, and laid out full playoff, conference championship and Super Bowl predictions ending with the Rams beating the Texans. **Claimed:** Aug 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Jason McIntyre — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jason-mcintyre **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/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd/best-of-the-herd-nfl-over-unders-top-10-nfl-qbs-nfl-playoff-predictions 25 checkable claims — 8 division winners, 6 playoff picks, 4 season win totals, 2 conference champions, 2 game outcome picks, 1 super bowl pick, 1 surprise team call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 2. > The Rams, led by Matt Stafford, win another super Bowl, cementing his Hall of Fame candidacy. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Minnesota Vikings to beat expectations** - Kind: Surprise Team Calls · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Detroit Lions to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **New England Patriots to finish with ? wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Minnesota Vikings to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to finish with 11 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to finish with 9 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **So here we go.
