Film-room football IQ, told as stories.

Real NFL X’s and O’s, turned into calls you can bet, start or draft on — and a ledger of how every call turned out.

This week in the film room

All stories

NFL · Atlanta Falcons

We said Atlanta's pass defense was the weak spot. Baltimore ran for 208.

We picked Atlanta, gave Bijan Robinson 100 yards and held Derrick Henry under 80. Baltimore won 30-23 in overtime, Henry ran for 102, and only our Huntley call landed. One hit, three misses.

NFL · Seattle Seahawks

We broke Purdy's sack streak. Seattle still lost.

We picked Seattle and said Purdy's zero-sack season would end in Seattle. It did, three times, and San Francisco won 32-29 anyway. One hit, three misses.

NFL · Washington Commanders

We picked Washington. Nobody won.

Daniels ran for 103, Washington never gave it away, and the Commanders led by 14 in the fourth. Winston threw 54 times without a pick and it ended 27-27: two hits, one miss, one push.

NFL · Dallas Cowboys

We said Dallas would stop the run. Bucky Irving ran for 165.

We took Dallas with the 8-point line and said the undrafted rookie would throw a pick. Tampa Bay ran for 241, Jalon Daniels threw none, and the Buccaneers won 24-16. One hit, three misses.
