# Nick Wright: Nick Wright previews wild card weekend: he expects a Miami–Indiana college football title matchup, currently picks the Rams (with Stafford) to win the Super Bowl, and gives his game picks — Rams over Carolina, Bears over Packers, a one-point Bills win over Jacksonville, Patriots over Chargers by three, and Steelers over Houston. **Claimed:** Jan 10, 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://omny.fm/shows/whats-wright-with-nick-wright/nfl-wild-card-predictions-bills-jaguars-49ers-eagles-packers-bears-chargers-pats-nick-wright 6 checkable claims — 4 game outcome picks, 1 score prediction and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 6 have settled, averaging 65.9 out of 100, against 41.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think right now my pick would be Matt Stafford in the Rams, but I think Seahawks can do it. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Chicago Bears to beat Green Bay** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Rams to beat Carolina** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills 24 — Jacksonville 23** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 95.24 out of 100, against 47.69 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Rams to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **New England Patriots to beat Chargers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Houston** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/rams - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/steelers ## What others said about the same people - Jared Dubin on Los Angeles Rams: Dubin picks the Rams to beat the Giants on Monday Night Football, sticking with preseason expectations over Week 1 overreaction.
