# Jourdan Rodrigue: Rodrigue picked the Texans to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl, took the Vikings as her survivor pick, still has the Bills in the playoffs and could see the Raiders sneaking in, and called Matthew Golden Green Bay's No. 1 receiver. **Claimed:** Sep 3, 2025 **Pundit:** Jourdan Rodrigue — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jourdan-rodrigue **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/around-the-nfl-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nfl-daily/2025-nfl-week-1-preview-and-super-bowl-picks 10 checkable claims — 3 game outcome picks, 2 conference champions, 2 depth chart calls, 2 playoff picks and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 10 have settled, averaging 57.5 out of 100, against 47.5 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I'm picking the Houston Texans ... And I have them going over the Eagles. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Philadelphia Eagles to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Minnesota Vikings to beat Chicago Bears** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Houston Texans to reach the Super Bowl** - Kind: Conference Champions · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to beat New York Jets** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Indianapolis Colts to beat Miami Dolphins** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jaxson Dart to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jaxson Dart, New York Giants - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 91.67 for a naive guess - **Matthew Golden to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 75 out of 100, against 83.33 for a naive guess - **Buffalo Bills to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Las Vegas Raiders to make the playoffs** - Kind: Playoff Picks · About: Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/colts - Jaxson Dart — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jaxson-dart - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Matthew Golden — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/matthew-golden - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Minnesota Vikings: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia.

He also reiterated his Super Bowl pick of Denver over the Rams, called the Dolphins destined for the No. 1 overall pick, and said the Saints are a worst-to-first candidate in the NFC South. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0b810ffd-fd93-4ea2-a208-b1353dea5fb0 (scored 0) - Nate Tice on New England Patriots: Tice picked the Bengals over the Texans in a low-scoring game, the Jaguars at Denver, the Bears over the Vikings, the Patriots over the Steelers and the Rams to edge the Giants, and his Hail Mary was the Cowboys scoring 40 on Washington.
