# Jason Cabinda: Cabinda named the Ravens as the AFC team that has closed the gap on the Chiefs, gave a top-five list of players who play with a fullback mentality, predicted Penei Sewell will be a perennial Pro Bowler, and picked Michael Penix Jr. to break out in Atlanta. **Claimed:** Mar 13, 2025 **Pundit:** Jason Cabinda — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jason-cabinda **Outlet:** Move the Sticks (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/move-the-sticks-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-good-morning-football/gmfb-thursday-hour-2-which-afc-team-can-knock-off 3 checkable claims — 1 pro bowl and all-pro call, 1 surprise team call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 75 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think the Ravens are the ones who have closed the gap with the Kansas City Chiefs. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **We're doing top five guys who carry the fullback mentality to their positions...
