# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal, running an "eyeball test" model, sides with underdogs: they'd take Jacksonville straight up over Cincinnati, has New England beating Miami, and picks their newly adopted Jets to beat the Bills outright, while still standing by their preseason Lions Super Bowl pick and Jets as a seventh seed. They also agreed with Cynthia's Broncos pick over the Colts. **Claimed:** Sep 12, 2025 **Pundit:** Gregg Rosenthal — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/gregg-rosenthal **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/week-2-picks-with-cynthia-frelund 5 checkable claims — 3 game outcome picks, 1 playoff pick and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 5 have settled, averaging 20 out of 100, against 40 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I'm going to pick this game straight up for the Jaguars. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **New York Jets to beat Bills** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: New York Jets - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Sep 14, 2025): Bills by 6 · underdog pick, Jets 29%.
