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.

Denver Broncos 21 — Chiefs 20

Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost
Ashton Jeanty's sophomore breakout is coming in full force.
San Francisco 49ers to win the division
San Francisco getting there a week early always felt like the right approach, and that proved to be the case in a convincing win. Don't sleep on them to win the NFC West.

if Michael Penix Jr. is healthy enough to play in Week 2, it wouldn't surprise me if Kevin Stefanski chooses to start him

Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division
This team should still be the NFC South favorite (surprise, all four NFC South teams lost), and Mayfield should be fine.

Shedeur Sanders could be in the starting lineup by the home opener in Week 3.

Everything lines up for this to be a breakout year for Montgomery. He is already taking advantage of being the featured back
