# Leonard Fournette: Co-host (identified in the transcript only as "Leonard") went week-by-week on Atlanta's schedule, ranked the NFC North, predicted Odell Beckham Jr. over 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns, picked the Bears, Bengals and Texans in their divisions, and took the Bengals over the 49ers in the Super Bowl. **Claimed:** Sep 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Leonard Fournette — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/leonard-fournette **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/e958ced0-f5e2-42d9-9a7a-b402015634ef/10b10376-7e6d-46ba-bb5c-b4ba012c6f95/audio.mp3?in_playlist=bf391792-153e-41b3-9d3d-ae3300346ad8 19 checkable claims — 7 game outcome picks, 3 division winners, 2 conference champions, 2 player season numbers, 2 power rankings, 1 depth chart call, 1 super bowl pick and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 19 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > So my prediction for Odell, he's going to go over 1,000. I give him seven touchdowns. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Denver Broncos to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Kansas City Chiefs to win** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Najee Harris to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Najee Harris, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **I still give them four...

He also projects the active interior offensive line group and expects a good defensive day would hold Saquon Barkley to around 85-90 grinding yards. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/429352ff-506a-40ec-8a47-119e673b7d5b (scored 0) - Chad Millman on Miami Dolphins: Chad Millman said he had taken money-line positions on several Week 1 underdogs — the Texans outright over the Bills, the Giants outright over Dallas (in a money-line underdog parlay), and Miami outright at Las Vegas — and that the show's survivor pick was the Steelers to win. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/bd767876-d060-44de-aa5a-3fc87ff4e749 (scored 0) - Bill Huber on Minnesota Vikings: Huber forecasts the Packers starting 3-4 through seven games — losing at Minnesota and Tampa Bay, beating the Jets and Falcons, losing to the Bears — and finishing the season with about eight wins. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/2df248b5-ab27-436f-ae3f-7b2ccb53ade6 (scored 100) - Eric Cohen on Tennessee Titans: Cohen says the Bears win easily in Carolina, and that Tennessee starts 1-0 over a Jets team he considers the third-worst in the league. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/37c0b874-cb1b-43c8-b78e-96a7b287ae62 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Philadelphia Eagles: Sullivan takes the Jaguars to beat the Browns, doubting Deshaun Watson, and takes the Eagles over the Commanders at home. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ac678dcb-56cb-48c5-912c-3e8c8522e681 (scored 100) - Jordan Dajani on Minnesota Vikings: Dajani expects the Steelers to comfortably beat the Falcons in Week 1, arguing Atlanta's quarterback situation under Tua Tagovailoa is a mess; he also picks the Vikings to beat the Packers in a low-scoring game. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/aa3d04bb-6a56-4202-9f05-36e5bda5d05f (scored 100) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
