# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal made three against-the-spread picks — Dolphins over Commanders, Buccaneers over Bills outright, and Steelers to beat the Bengals by more than 5.5 — while also saying he has Seattle and Chicago winning straight up and endorsing the Ravens over the Browns. **Claimed:** Nov 14, 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-11-nfl-picks-with-cynthia-frelund 7 checkable claims — 7 game outcome picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 7 have settled, averaging 71.4 out of 100, against 57.1 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think the Dolphins win going away. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Chicago Bears to beat Vikings** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Chicago Bears - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Bengals** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Houston Texans to beat Tennessee** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Houston Texans - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks to beat Rams** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Baltimore Ravens to beat Browns** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat Buffalo** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Miami Dolphins to beat Washington Commanders** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Miami Dolphins - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/texans - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/dolphins ## What others said about the same people - Michael Hanich on Seattle Seahawks: Hanich argues the Week 2 road game at Arizona is not a true trap game, citing Seattle's long winning streak in the series, Mike Macdonald's preparation and injuries in the Cardinals' secondary, and rates his confidence in the Seahawks at 7.
