# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal picks the Falcons to beat the Saints in New Orleans and sweep the season series, likes the Seahawks to win big over Cam Ward's team, and says Seattle would be his Super Bowl pick right now. He also leans Lions over the Giants and Steelers in Chicago. **Claimed:** Nov 21, 2025 **Pundit:** Gregg Rosenthal — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/gregg-rosenthal **Outlet:** Around the NFL (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.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-12-nfl-picks-with-cynthia-frelund 3 checkable claims — 2 game outcome picks and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 3 have settled, averaging 100 out of 100, against 33.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I just think I think they might win the Super Bowl. I think they would be my pick right now. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Atlanta Falcons to beat Saints** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Detroit Lions to beat Giants** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Detroit Lions - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl** - Kind: Super Bowl Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Atlanta Falcons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/falcons - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/lions - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks ## What others said about the same people - Michael Hanich on Seattle Seahawks: Hanich argues the Week 2 road game at Arizona is not a true trap game, citing Seattle's long winning streak in the series, Mike Macdonald's preparation and injuries in the Cardinals' secondary, and rates his confidence in the Seahawks at 7.
