Cynthia Frelund · Jan 9, 2026

Freeland picks the Patriots to beat the Chargers by at least four, the Bills to win in Jacksonville largely on Josh Allen, and the Rams to beat the Panthers by roughly eleven; she also agrees with Rosenthal that Green Bay wins.

I think that the New England Patriots. They win by at least three and a half points, so at least four points.

  • My second pick, I think the Bills cover the one point spread in Jacksonville.

  • I think the Green Bay Packers are going to win. I know you agree with me. I do because we already did game DEVUW

  • Yeah, I'm going to hop on that one with you... So when it does, I have an eleven point win, I'm going to go with it
