Nick Wright· Sep 25, 2026
Wright guaranteed a start-to-finish Chiefs blowout of the winless Dolphins in Miami, saying Kansas City will score 30-plus for a third straight game. He also compared this year's Cowboys to last year's Bengals, pegging Dallas for roughly eight to ten wins.
“So, yeah, I think the Chiefs win in dominant fashion.”
