# Pete Prisco: An unsigned CBS Sports Week 1 picks column predicts final scores for all 16 games, including a Seahawks rout of the Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch and a late Chiefs win over Denver in Patrick Mahomes' return. **Claimed:** Sep 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Pete Prisco — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/pete-prisco **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/priscos-week-1-nfl-picks/ 16 checkable claims — 16 score predictions — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 16 have settled, averaging 65.2 out of 100, against 52.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. > This rematch of the February Super Bowl will go much like that game.
