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.
Outside the room in 6 of 21 articles (2 higher, 4 lower) · when its writers strayed: 44.3 accuracy (3 settled)
Outside the room in articles — always higher · when its writers strayed: 18.3 accuracy (3 settled)

Fernando Mendoza to be picked at number 1
Fernando mendoz a slam, dunk number one. Pick
Lamar Jackson to finish top 4 at his position, by passing yards
You still think Lamar is in that upper echelon of top four quarterbacks in the league. / I do
Buffalo Bills to beat Broncos
I just think Josh Josh Allen's the best player in the field... But if you make me make a pick, I guess I'm going to that direction.
Los Angeles Rams to beat Seattle
And to me, in the NFC, I see the Rams as the only team that can go to Seattle and beat this team.

Yes, all right, I'm actually with her, but I don't feel great about it. (following Rachel Nichols saying "I'm going Bills in this one")
Drake Maye to win MVP
Obviously, he's not going to win the MVP. That'll be Stafford or Drake May.
Matthew Stafford to win MVP
Obviously, he's not going to win the MVP. That'll be Stafford or Drake May.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba to win Offensive Player of the Year
He might win off it'sive player of the year.
Josh Allen to finish top 1 at his position, by passing yards
I do believe he's the best quarterback in the league.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba to finish top 2 at his position, by passing yards
Jsn's their number one, and he's like a top two receiver in the league.

Houston Texans 17 — New England Patriots 9
Maybe a turnover here stopping the red seventeen to nine Houston.
Seattle Seahawks 24 — San Francisco forty nine ers 20

congrats to Mendoza, who goes to the Raiders then where he's not winning anything for a decade
Houston Texans to beat Patriots
I like the Texas to win this out right.
Los Angeles Rams to beat Bears
old man Matthew Stafford delivers... I don't see the Rams blowing this.
Matthew Stafford to win MVP
They're going up against an MVP candidate. I don't think Mayo win it. I think Stafford will.
Buffalo Bills 17 — Denver 16
I don't think they can stop him. I'll go low seventeen sixteen Buffalo or thereabouts.
Caleb Williams to record 340 passing yards
if it doesn't affect the ability to throw the ball and Caleb Williams goes off for three hundred and forty passing yards against those corners, that would not surprise me at all
Chicago Bears to beat Green Bay
but yeah, I took Chicago there too.
