Randy Gurzi· Aug 28, 2026

Gurzi predicts the Buffalo Bills' final 53-man roster ahead of Week 1 against Houston, naming every player who makes it, who gets cut, and a few depth-chart outcomes (Damar Hamlin as backup safety, Alec Anderson as a new starter on the offensive line, Shane Buechele back on the practice squad).

“Zane Durant flashed enough in the finale to take the final DT spot from DeWayne Carter.”

published in writing · Sports Illustrated · read the original →

75 checkable claims — 72 roster spot calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 73 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

48 of 75 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 83.3 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
