# Nick Wright: Nick Wright ran through his projected 2025 records for all 16 AFC teams, calling Baltimore a 13-win regular-season juggernaut, Houston a 12-win team with the league's best defense, and going under on the Jets, Bengals, Steelers and Chargers; he also picked the Chiefs' game-by-game schedule to 12-5 and said Buffalo wins the AFC East. **Claimed:** Sep 2, 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/21c3936b-387b-4f46-976f-b4b8011283fe/audio.mp3?in_playlist=bf391792-153e-41b3-9d3d-ae3300346ad8 39 checkable claims — 19 game outcome picks, 16 season win totals, 1 depth chart call, 1 division winner, 1 playoff pick and 1 position group ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 19 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 39 have settled so far, averaging 33.3 out of 100, against 66.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 17 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 7 and below it on 10. > But I think Baltimore is going to be a 13 win team. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
