# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal picks the Buccaneers to beat the Patriots, the Steelers to win outright at the Chargers, the Rams to blow out the 49ers, and jokes/claims the Ravens beat the Vikings by 25. **Claimed:** Nov 7, 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-9-nfl-picks-with-cynthia-frelund-1 4 checkable claims — 4 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 4 have settled, averaging 50 out of 100, against 25 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think the Bucks are a complete team. I don't think the Patriots offensive line is as good. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Los Angeles Rams to beat forty nine ers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Patriots** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to beat Vikings** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Chargers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/rams - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/steelers ## What others said about the same people - Jared Dubin on Los Angeles Rams: Dubin picks the Rams to beat the Giants on Monday Night Football, sticking with preseason expectations over Week 1 overreaction.
