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 The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast)’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.

Los Angeles Rams to finish with 11 wins
They're going to be a really, really good team and win 11 games.
Los Angeles Chargers to make the playoffs
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, CJ Stroud, Justin Herbert, Drake May, Joe Burrow, and Mahomes make the playoffs.
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
They draft kid out of Clemson. He'll start it right. Tackle Blake Miller.
I think these two teams, in my opinion, are the best two teams in the NFL, Seahawks-Rams, one and two in my book.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Cleveland, I don't hate them. I just don't know who's quarterback. I'd go with Shadur.
Detroit Lions to win the division
I think the Lions have a combination of the best roster in division and the easiest schedule in the entire league this year.
Philadelphia Eagles to win the division
I'm still going with Philadelphia winning the NFC East.
I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams... San Francisco, I worry about it... And then Arizona, bit of a mess... Arizona at fourth place.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team ... Patriots, Bengals, Chiefs as wildcard.
I'm going to go Chicago second... I'm going to choose Green Bay over Minnesota... so I have them fourth
New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs
the Saints are going to be and the Lions are going to be new playoff teams and the Giants
I'll take. Them to win the division. New England's schedule is much tougher... The Jets in third... Dolphins are rebuilding... I'll pick them easily for fourth.
New York Giants to make the playoffs
I think if Jackson Dart can stay out of the blue tent, I think it's a playoff team.
Buffalo Bills to make the playoffs
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, CJ Stroud, Justin Herbert, Drake May, Joe Burrow, and Mahomes make the playoffs.
I'm going to go Colts over the Jags... And the Titans for fourth
I'm going to go with the Giants over the Cowboys... I have the Cowboys better, but not a playoff team third. And Washington just doesn't have enough talent.
New York Jets to finish with 5 wins
Offensively, if Geno can be a C-plus quarterback, they should win four or five games.
I think Carolina will vie for the division title and a playoff spot. I like the top two teams. Tampa Bay... I'm going to pick Atlanta. For fourth place.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
I have the Chargers 11-6 with the worst offensive line in football ... I have them winning the division.
New Orleans Saints to win the division
the second easiest schedule in football is the Saints... I like the top two teams.
Baltimore Ravens to make the playoffs
Baltimore, by the way, is going to be a new playoff team, too.
Kansas City Chiefs to make the playoffs
I'll give Kansas City credit, I think they get back to the playoffs.
New York Giants to beat expectations
But I've said the Giants are also my pick for my double the win total team.
New England Patriots to make the playoffs
Patriots, Bengals, Chiefs as wildcard.
Seattle Seahawks to win the division
a little surprise, I'll take Seattle to win over the Rams.
