Gregg Rosenthal· Sep 26, 2025
Rosenthal leans Giants over the Chargers with Jackson Dart starting, and makes three headline picks: Jets over the Dolphins, Packers big over a banged-up Cowboys team, and the Jaguars to beat the 49ers outright. He also said he's picking the Vikings over the Steelers in Dublin and described Jacksonville as looking like a playoff sixth seed.
“I'm really big on the Packers.”
