# Nick Wright: On his Week 3 pick show, Nick Wright gave straight-up final-score predictions for five games, calling blowouts by Seattle over Washington and Kansas City over Miami, a Jacksonville home win over New England, a narrow New Orleans win over the Raiders and a low-scoring Baltimore win over Dallas in Brazil. He also called Seattle the best team in the NFL with the league's best defense. **Claimed:** Sep 26, 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://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/87152870-f264-4995-8336-b288010f6b6f/d19f7323-d6a9-455a-a3ba-b4d00108d3fa/audio.mp3?in_playlist=bf391792-153e-41b3-9d3d-ae3300346ad8 9 checkable claims — 5 score predictions, 2 availability calls, 1 position group finish and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
