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 Sports Illustrated’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.

Carson Vinson to be 1st on the depth chart
It was still in relief of second-year pro Carson Vinson at left tackle, whom he is clearly behind on the depth chart.
Jonathan Ford to be 1st on the depth chart
Jonathan Ford has had a terrific training camp to seize the job at nose tackle.
Kamal Hadden to make the roster
Because he's played better at cornerback and slot, Kamal Hadden has probably locked up a spot in the secondary.
Edgerrin Cooper to be 1st on the depth chart
Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin will start
Zaire Franklin to be 1st on the depth chart
Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin will start
Isaiah McDuffie to be 2nd on the depth chart
Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper will be backups and core players on special teams
Ty'Ron Hopper to be 2nd on the depth chart
Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper will be backups and core players on special teams
Nick Niemann to make the roster
Nick Niemann – who the Packers signed after final cuts last year rather than keeping Welch – will be a key player on special teams again.
Jaylin Noel to be 2nd on the depth chart
he'll be able to fill in for recently departed wideout Christian Kirk as one of the more featured guys in the slot... So the expectation remains that Noel remains more involved on a weekly basis than Boutte.
Xavier Hutchinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
But if he's slow to adjust, expect Hutchinson to be the primary beneficiary to take those snaps as the Z receiver instead.
Kendal Daniels to be 1st on the depth chart
an upstart rookie has pushed his name up the depth chart... Instead, Kendal Daniels has made himself known... Excitement is growing around the rookie, and Friday's preseason finale is his last audition. Based on his summer, it may already be a formality.
Las Vegas Raiders to beat Miami Dolphins
The Raiders' season begins against one of the worst teams in the NFL, the Miami Dolphins... Las Vegas should have no trouble defeating the Dolphins
Nate Lynn to make the roster
It will be hard for Lynn to crack the 53-man roster, so he'll need to continue to dominate at a high level in the team's preseason finale against the Giants.
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Dallas Cowboys
CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo thinks the team should make a play for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Las Vegas Raiders to finish with 7 wins
Last May, I projected seven wins in 2026. I stand by that today
Tonka Hemingway to be 1st on the depth chart
Tonka Hemingway would be my first bet at the defensive tackle position
Malik Benson to be 1st on the depth chart
rookie Malik Benson from the wide receiver group
Las Vegas Raiders to make the playoffs
laying the foundation for a 2027 get-right campaign, and finally 2028 as the goal of making, and perennially staying, in the NFL Playoffs
Troy Franklin to make the roster
Again, I believe Franklin is making this roster... Don't count on Franklin being waived, but for the reasons listed above, it's something to watch out for.
Drew Sanders to make the roster
It doesn't help that Denver is very deep at outside linebacker. The writing is on the wall for Sanders, despite being a former third-round draft pick.
Tycen Anderson to make the roster
Anderson was just signed in the offseason, but I'll be surprised if he survives the final roster cuts.
Tysheem Johnson to make the roster
The players that were recently added shouldn't be expected to make the 53-man roster, but once they clear waivers, the Seahawks will have the first opportunity to add them to the practice squad
Justin Jones to make the roster
The players that were recently added shouldn't be expected to make the 53-man roster, but once they clear waivers, the Seahawks will have the first opportunity to add them to the practice squad
Derrick Graham to make the roster
The players that were recently added shouldn't be expected to make the 53-man roster, but once they clear waivers, the Seahawks will have the first opportunity to add them to the practice squad
J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
As far as what that says for the Vikings, it probably means that eventually he will need a second chance somewhere else.
