"Part of the predictions game is seeing how our forecasts fare. It's easy to make a prediction, but we also need to check in on them. In the preseason, I made one bold prediction for every team as part of our preview of the 2025 season. These were big swings -- things I thought could happen but would each be an upset. And five weeks into the season, we've learned a lot."
"Nailed it Original prediction: QB Jaxson Dart will make his first start no later than Week 5. Why we nailed it: Dart started in Week 4 after a slow start from veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, which led to an 0-3 beginning of the season for the Giants. The rookie won in his debut against the Chargers, though he struggled this past Sunday with two interceptions and a 50.2 Total QBR (ninth worst in Week 5) in a loss to the Saints."
Preseason bold predictions for every NFL team were revisited five weeks into the 2025 season to evaluate which forecasts remain plausible. One prediction has already occurred: Jaxson Dart started in Week 4 after Russell Wilson's slow start, won his debut against the Chargers, but struggled in Week 5 with two interceptions and a 50.2 Total QBR in a loss to the Saints. Dalton Kincaid projects 976 receiving yards on his current pace with 287 through five games, has run routes on 57% of the Bills' dropbacks, and shows a plus-15% catch rate over expectation, the best among tight ends.
