He also said he's picking the Vikings over the Steelers in Dublin and described Jacksonville as looking like a playoff sixth seed. **Claimed:** Sep 26, 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-4-picks-from-dublin-with-the-ringer-fantasy-football-show 6 checkable claims — 5 game outcome picks and 1 playoff pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
