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.

Buffalo Bills to win the division
I love the Buffalo Bills and believe they will win the AFC East this year.
Dallas Cowboys to win the division
I even have them winning the division!
Los Angeles Rams to win the Super Bowl
The Rams are, unsurprisingly, my pick to win the Super Bowl this season.
Los Angeles Rams 31 — 49ers 21
Pick: Rams 31, 49ers 21
DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
Buffalo hopes that the Bills' new No. 1 wide receiver DJ Moore can open things up for Allen against Houston's stifling man coverage.
New York Jets to win
New York Jets (+1.5) at Tennessee Titans ... If Ward is just serviceable in the opener ... New York will have a puncher's chance.
San Francisco 49ers to win
San Francisco 49ers (+3.5) at Los Angeles Rams ... But don't sleep on the Niners either. ... Kyle Shanahan has also typically gotten his team up for the opener, winning three-straight Week 1 contests entering 2026.
Carolina Panthers to win
Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers (+3) ... If those issues rear their head, that's how Carolina pulls off the upset.
Houston Texans to win
Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans (+1.5) ... If the Texans can generate movement on the ground and the defense continues to give Allen fits, they are live.
Denver Broncos to win
Denver Broncos (+2.5) at Kansas City Chiefs ... However, I expect their defense to quickly remind folks of its dominance as we wrap up Week 1 on Monday night.
George Pickens to move to Dallas Cowboys
Dallas putting a franchise tag on Pickens for a second straight year with the NFL collective bargaining agreement- mandated 20% raise at $32,757,600 wouldn't be a surprise even if it's done just to trade him
Riley Moss to move to Denver Broncos
If Moss can cut down on penalties, the three-year, $60 million deal, averaging $20 million per year with $42 million fully guaranteed, Alontae Taylor received from the Tennessee Titans should be his salary floor on the open market next March
