# Nick Wright: The host (never named in the transcript) makes his weekly picks: he predicts the Titans beat the Chiefs outright as home underdogs, lays points with Tampa Bay at Carolina and Dallas against the Chargers, and in his stay-away discussion leans Buffalo over Cleveland, likes Detroit over Pittsburgh, and says Houston will beat the Raiders by at least a touchdown. **Claimed:** Dec 20, 2025 **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-week-16-predictions-packers-bears-jaguars-broncos-chiefs-titans-patriots-ravens-more 5 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
