# Nick Wright: In an AFC over/under draft, Wright took the Ravens over 11.5 (13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed), Bengals under, Jaguars over (10 wins and a playoff berth), Chargers under, Chiefs over (12 wins, beating Denver in Week 1), Broncos over (10 wins and a playoff spot), and Patriots under, while also projecting the Bills to win the AFC East with 11 wins. **Claimed:** Sep 2, 2026 **Pundit:** Nick Wright — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nick-wright **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://pdrl.fm/91be81/podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/claritaspod.com/measure/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/9ce11dad-e86a-444f-ba83-ae27003475be/fc9f75c7-45ea-443f-9114-b4b9000e04f3/audio.mp3?in_playlist=deff018f-4b51-4501-937c-ae27003475d1 16 checkable claims — 11 season win totals, 2 playoff picks, 1 division winner, 1 game outcome pick and 1 seeding, byes and home field — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 16 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 9 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 5 and below it on 4. > And I think they're going to be the number one seed in the AFC and win 13 games. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Kansas City Chiefs to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to finish with 13 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens to take the top seed** - Kind: Seeding, Byes and Home Field · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cincinnati Bengals to finish with ? wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Pittsburgh Steelers to finish with 6 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers to finish with ? wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Denver Broncos to finish with 10 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Denver Broncos to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Indianapolis Colts to finish with 7 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **New England Patriots to finish with 10 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Houston Texans to finish with ? wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jacksonville Jaguars to finish with 10 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs to finish with 12 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to finish with 11 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/colts - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/texans - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills ## What others said about the same people - John Shipley on Jack Kiser: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 0) - Bucky Brooks on Keenan Allen: Brooks predicted J.J.
