# John Breech: Breech picks every Week 2 game with scores, takes the Cardinals to upset the Seahawks, sees a Bills-Lions shootout, predicts Baker Mayfield's revenge win over Cleveland, and says the Browns will miss the playoffs while the Dolphins go winless. **Claimed:** Sep 15, 2026 **Pundit:** John Breech — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/john-breech **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-2-picks-score-predictions/ 18 checkable claims — 16 score predictions, 1 season win total and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 17 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > That's right. I have completely lost my mind and I'm taking the Cardinals to pull off the upset. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34 — Browns 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Buffalo Bills 38 — Lions 31** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Chargers 27 — Raiders 19** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arizona Cardinals 20 — Seahawks 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Denver Broncos 30 — Jaguars 27** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Miami Dolphins to finish with 0 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cincinnati Bengals to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dallas Cowboys 34 — Commanders 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kansas City Chiefs 23 — Colts 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **San Francisco 49ers 38 — Dolphins 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Los Angeles Rams 27 — Giants 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carolina Panthers 24 — Falcons 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chicago Bears 20 — Vikings 17** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles 27 — Titans 16** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **New England Patriots 27 — Steelers 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Green Bay Packers 26 — Jets 23** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Baltimore Ravens 34 — Saints 23** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cincinnati Bengals 23 — Texans 20** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cardinals - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/dolphins - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/rams - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/eagles - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens ## What others said about the same people - Chris Brockman on Baker Mayfield: Brockman's season-preview overreactions: Fernando Mendoza becomes an Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist; Dak Prescott wins MVP and the Cowboys win the Super Bowl; Jesse Minter's Ravens win the AFC North; C.J.
