# Nick Wright: Going division by division through the NFC, Nick Wright gave explicit win projections for several teams (Dallas 11, Philadelphia 10, Giants 8, Washington 7, Chicago 10, the Rams 13, Seattle 11), named Dallas, Chicago, Tampa Bay and the Rams as his division picks, and said Philadelphia will trade AJ Brown after the draft. **Claimed:** Mar 27, 2026 **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-predicts-nfc-cowboys-win-east-bears-disrespected-49ers-rams-seahawks-in-west-nfl 12 checkable claims — 7 season win totals, 4 division winners and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 4. > I think Dallas wins eleven games next year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **A.J.
