# Jonas Knox: Filling in on the Dan Patrick Show, Knox made his weekly picks: Chargers over Texans, Jaguars over Colts, Seahawks over Panthers, Bills over Eagles, and the Bears to win outright at San Francisco. He also called Ted McMillan the likely Offensive Rookie of the Year. **Claimed:** Dec 26, 2025 **Pundit:** Jonas Knox — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jonas-knox **Outlet:** 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/2-pros-and-a-cup-of-joe-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/the-dan-patrick-show/hour-3-xmas-talk-picks-against-the-spread 6 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks and 1 award pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 6 have settled, averaging 50 out of 100, against 16.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I'm gonna go with the Bears on the money line. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Indianapolis Colts** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Tetairoa McMillan to win Offensive Rookie of the Year** - Kind: Award Picks · About: Tetairoa McMillan - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Los Angeles Chargers to beat Houston Texans** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Chicago Bears to beat San Francisco forty nine ers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills to beat Philadelphia Eagles** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks to beat Carolina** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Tetairoa McMillan — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tetairoa-mcmillan - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks ## What others said about the same people - Michael Hanich on Seattle Seahawks: Hanich argues the Week 2 road game at Arizona is not a true trap game, citing Seattle's long winning streak in the series, Mike Macdonald's preparation and injuries in the Cardinals' secondary, and rates his confidence in the Seahawks at 7.
