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.

Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Denver Broncos
But I like Jacksonville. I'm right there with you. And I like them to win by at least a touchdown, honestly.
Houston Texans 24 — Cincinnati Bengals 17
I got the Houston Texans winning this game 24-17.
Green Bay Packers to beat New York Jets
I do. I expect them to win, but I'm rooting for Geno... I'm not sure they have enough to stop Jordan Love and this Packers offense.
Chicago Bears 32 — Minnesota Vikings 19
I got the Bears winning this game 32-19.
Seattle Seahawks to beat Arizona Cardinals
I, too, like Seattle to win this game. I think they take care of the Red Hot Cardinals and move on to 2-0.
San Francisco 49ers to beat Miami Dolphins
I don't have high hopes. I like the Niners in dominant fashion in this game.
Detroit Lions to beat Buffalo Bills
I like the Lions to cover. I like the Lions to win.
Washington Commanders to pick “Likely to be picking in the top 10” (picks 1–10)
against a team that I feel like is, you know, Likely to be picking in the top 10
I think Philly might have the best D-line outside of the Rams in the whole NFL.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Cincinnati
I think Tampa Bay goes to Cincinnati and wins outright.
Cincinnati Bengals to beat Tampa Bay
I think everyone has the same mentality. We all think. Joe will win, but it won't be by more than three.
New York Giants to beat Dallas
We included them in the money line underdog parlay with the Giants
Houston Texans to beat Buffalo Bills
I have now invested in Texans at plus one and a half Texans. On the money line.

I actually bet Miami on the money line here

The Giants are a good wildcard team... Giants are a new playoff team, obviously.
Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs
Seahawks, Bears are great wildcard teams.
DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
I love the DJ Moore, a real serious number one receiver.
Los Angeles Chargers to win the division
AFC West, I made a change. Denver second, Kansas City third... I think it's a pretty magical year for the Chargers.
Courtland Sutton to be 2nd on the depth chart
Cortland Sutton will be one of the best number two receivers in the league.
Chicago Bears to make the playoffs
Seahawks, Bears are great wildcard teams.
Here's my herd hierarchy. We'll start at number 10 on the eve of the NFL season... Number one... the Seahawks... Where are the Chiefs? I have them in 11th. Where are the Ravens? I have them at 12.
Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs
Listen, the Ravens and the Bengals are both going to make the playoffs.
