Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where CBS Sports’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Chicago Bears to win the division
The Bears were the division's best team last year, and it appears that that is still the case.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
Cincinnati has one of the league's top offenses and a defense that was significantly upgraded this offseason.
Jacksonville Jaguars to win the division
Houston's defense makes this close, but the Jags get the edge at quarterback, at least heading into the season.
Buffalo Bills to win the division
This one was pretty easy; Mike Vrabel himself said recently that the Patriots' depth isn't very good.
Denver Broncos to win the division
I've got the Broncos winning one of the NFL's toughest divisions.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Just average, and this team will make a deep playoff run.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
Everybody seems ready to hand this division back to the Rams, which is probably exactly how the Seahawks prefer it.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
Just average, and this team will make a deep playoff run.
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
If the defense takes even a small step forward this season, the odds are good that they will overtake Philadelphia in that division.
Cincinnati Bengals to win the division
I'm taking the Bengals to not only win the AFC North, but make a very deep playoff run as well.
Houston Texans to win the division
As long as C.J. Stroud isn't historically awful like he was last postseason, the Texans should be one of the best teams in football.
