# Damonza Byrd: The co-host built a three-team eight-point teaser including Indy teased down to -6 against the Titans, saying Indy takes care of Tennessee, and disagreed with the host by suggesting Denver could win a shootout with Dallas. **Claimed:** Oct 25, 2025 **Pundit:** Damonza Byrd — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/damonza-byrd **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://omny.fm/shows/whats-wright-with-nick-wright/nfl-week-8-predictions-packers-steelers-commanders-chiefs-bears-ravens-broncos-cowboys-more 2 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 2 have settled, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. > and Andy takes care of the trash team, so I think we should be good there. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Indianapolis Colts to beat Titans** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Denver Broncos to beat Dallas** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/colts - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos ## What others said about the same people - Noah Compton on Caden Curry: After the Colts' preseason finale loss to Detroit, Compton projected several roster and depth-chart outcomes: Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback, rookie A.J.
