# Jourdan Rodrigue: Rodrigue picked the Texans to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl, took the Vikings as her survivor pick, still has the Bills in the playoffs and could see the Raiders sneaking in, and called Matthew Golden Green Bay's No. 1 receiver. **Claimed:** Sep 3, 2025 **Pundit:** Jourdan Rodrigue — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jourdan-rodrigue **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/2025-nfl-week-1-preview-and-super-bowl-picks 10 checkable claims — 3 game outcome picks, 2 conference champions, 2 depth chart calls, 2 playoff picks and 1 super bowl pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 10 have settled, averaging 57.5 out of 100, against 47.5 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I'm picking the Houston Texans ...
