What happened: On The Dan Le Batard Show, host Dan Le Batard welcomed New Kids on the Block singer Danny Wood as the program's newest Celebrity Prognosticator. Speaking with Le Batard and the crew, Wood admitted he regularly falls asleep watching NFL RedZone on Sundays because his Las Vegas residency performances keep him awake until 3 or 4 a.m. Wood selected the Seattle Seahawks over the Denver Broncos, the Jacksonville Jaguars over the Houston Texans in London, the New England Patriots over the New York Jets, and the Kansas City Chiefs over the Los Angeles Chargers, while switching his fifth pick from the Buffalo Bills to the Las Vegas Raiders after repeating, "I hate the Bills.

Why it matters: The segment continues the podcast's weekly celebrity guest slate, where each guest must sweep or win their five-game card to return the following week. Wood noted that New Kids on the Block is nearing the end of a 40-show Las Vegas residency and plans to keep performing for the next two to three years.

By the numbers: According to figures shared on The Dan Le Batard Show, the program's celebrity guests hold a combined 17-7-1 record on the 2026 season, outpacing Colin Cowherd's 14-9-2 mark.

What to watch: Wood will return as Celebrity Prognosticator next week on The Dan Le Batard Show if his five-game slate finishes with a winning record.
