Gregg Rosenthal#39 of 87 NFL pundits · Oct 10, 2025

Rosenthal pivoted to the Rams as their favorite play, saying Los Angeles simply wins in Baltimore against a Ravens defense that is a mess against the run. They also conceded that even though they were taking Atlanta with the points, they expect Buffalo to win that Monday night game.

How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naiveworse than naive

2 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 2 have settled, averaging 50 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
