# Gregg Rosenthal: Three weeks into the season, Rosenthal ranked all 32 teams 1-32 based on how likely he thinks they are to make the playoffs, with the Packers on top and the Titans last. He also said Green Bay will have the best defense in the league. **Claimed:** Sep 27, 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/ranking-title-contenders-playoff-bubble-teams-and-football-in-ireland-with-michael-mcquaid 2 checkable claims — 1 position group ranking and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 77.5 out of 100, against 66.4 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So dead last in the NFL, I would put the Titans that's thirty two. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **I've divided the entire league into different groups... dead last in the NFL, I would put the Titans that's thirty two. Saints would be next, Dolphins at thirty... the Carolina Panthers... The Jets above them... The Raider, the Giants, and then at the very top of this list, the Browns... this is the number twenty one team overall, the Bears. Then the Bengals have the Patriots at twenty three and the Cowboys at twenty four... I'm putting the Vikings at the top of that list. The Jaguars are next... Stealers. Below them right in the middle of the NFL at sixteen, The Broncos at seventeen... The Texans... The Cardinals and the Falcons... number ten... The Seahawks... The Colts at eleven... The Commander's at twelve and then the forty nine ers... I'm putting the Packers... number one, the Lions and Eagles right behind them... So they're there at four, Bills at five, Ravens at six, and then the Rams, the Bucks, and... the Kansas City Chiefs** - Kind: Power Rankings - Verdict: scored 77.53 out of 100, against 66.37 for a naive guess - **They still have Matt Lafleur, a quarterback I believe in, and what I think is going to be the best defense in the league.** - Kind: Position Group Rankings · About: Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Greg Jennings on Green Bay Packers: Jennings put the Cardinals up as his upset alert over Seattle, backed the Texans over Cincinnati and the Bears over Minnesota with chips, put two chips on Denver beating Jacksonville, and wrote a headline of the Packers beating the Jets; he also called the Bengals a playoff team and the Chiefs winners over Indianapolis. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/420d3e29-6224-43a2-8d68-b15c864838cd (scored 100) - Tyler Sullivan on Green Bay Packers: Sullivan has Tampa Bay blowing out Cleveland, Green Bay winning narrowly at the Jets, and Philadelphia beating Tennessee by double digits. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/d758df3d-dbf8-44e5-b96c-77485489cf0c (scored 100) - Pete Prisco on Green Bay Packers: Prisco picks final scores for every Week 2 NFL game, with several teams that lost in Week 1 — the Chargers, Patriots, Cowboys, Packers and Rams — bouncing back, and the Bills outlasting the Lions in a shootout. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/29185ff4-dec4-498f-aa45-4ca2d72dcbe3 (scored 90.48) - Mark Morales-Smith on Green Bay Packers: In a Week 2 start/sit column, Morales-Smith names four benched players he expects to outperform expectations: Jordan Love, Kaelon Black, Jakobi Meyers and Dalton Schultz.
