# Gregg Rosenthal: Three weeks into the season, Rosenthal ranked all 32 teams 1-32 based on how likely he thinks they are to make the playoffs, with the Packers on top and the Titans last. He also said Green Bay will have the best defense in the league. **Claimed:** Sep 27, 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/ranking-title-contenders-playoff-bubble-teams-and-football-in-ireland-with-michael-mcquaid 2 checkable claims — 1 position group ranking and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 77.5 out of 100, against 66.4 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So dead last in the NFL, I would put the Titans that's thirty two. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **I've divided the entire league into different groups... dead last in the NFL, I would put the Titans that's thirty two. Saints would be next, Dolphins at thirty... the Carolina Panthers... The Jets above them... The Raider, the Giants, and then at the very top of this list, the Browns... this is the number twenty one team overall, the Bears. Then the Bengals have the Patriots at twenty three and the Cowboys at twenty four... I'm putting the Vikings at the top of that list. The Jaguars are next... Stealers. Below them right in the middle of the NFL at sixteen, The Broncos at seventeen... The Texans... The Cardinals and the Falcons... number ten... The Seahawks... The Colts at eleven... The Commander's at twelve and then the forty nine ers... I'm putting the Packers... number one, the Lions and Eagles right behind them... So they're there at four, Bills at five, Ravens at six, and then the Rams, the Bucks, and... the Kansas City Chiefs** - Kind: Power Rankings - Verdict: scored 77.53 out of 100, against 66.37 for a naive guess - **They still have Matt Lafleur, a quarterback I believe in, and what I think is going to be the best defense in the league.** - Kind: Position Group Rankings · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Green Bay Packers: Simms picked the Packers to beat the Falcons in the Thursday night game by a low score, expecting a defensive struggle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b12420c5-837c-4a24-8a8e-c74b10cc697c (scored 9.52) - Mike Kadlick on Green Bay Packers: Kadlick expects an ugly, low-scoring Thursday night game at Lambeau Field, with Green Bay beating Atlanta 10–7 to move to 2–1 while the Falcons drop to 0–3 in Michael Penix Jr.'s return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e80b2d86-5533-4a14-b40a-9de75d1883bc (scored 7.14) - Jared Dubin on Green Bay Packers: Dubin picks the Packers to beat the Falcons comfortably on Thursday Night Football, predicting a 23-13 Green Bay win. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7d0957a4-4d45-4f24-b6f9-a848eb47a374 (scored 23.81) - Jordan Dajani on Green Bay Packers: Dajani gave final-score predictions for eight Week 3 games, picking the Packers, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans, Buccaneers (upset), Ravens, Broncos (upset) and Eagles to win. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c96aaa6d-2d0c-41cc-a9f7-c21ac21886ac (scored 16.67) - Jared Dubin on Green Bay Packers: Dubin gave final-score predictions for the same eight Week 3 games, picking the Packers, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans, Vikings, Ravens, Rams and Eagles. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fe04828a-d532-414c-a58a-54f6505f2263 (scored 23.81) - Richard Sherman on Green Bay Packers: Sherman picked winners and several exact scores across the Week 3 slate, favoring Seattle, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, Green Bay, Carolina, New Orleans, Baltimore, the Rams, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Kansas City, Minnesota, the Giants, Jacksonville and Houston, and named Kenneth Walker his MVP. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c2102f61-711d-4041-af08-065e95ccaf03 (scored 0) ## More position group rankings The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Rich Eisen: Eisen ranked his top five defenses remaining in the NFL playoffs, with the Texans first, Seahawks second, Broncos third, Bills fourth and Rams fifth. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2a3ce061-cd05-485c-9f71-c7d0ce390a1a (scored 75) - Nick Shook: Shook's picks in the best-position-group draft: Buccaneers receivers (over the Bengals), Lions tackles, Ravens tight ends, Steelers interior offensive line, Lions running backs, Giants edge rushers, Ravens safeties, Commanders quarterbacks, Lions defensive tackles and Texans safeties.
