# Gregg Rosenthal: Rosenthal expects the Bills to beat the Patriots but in a shootout, likes the Broncos to go into Philadelphia and win outright, and calls Seattle at home over Tampa Bay his pick of the year, believing the Seahawks are the best team in the league right now. **Claimed:** Oct 3, 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-4-nfl-picks-from-london-with-cynthia-frelund 4 checkable claims — 3 game outcome picks and 1 surprise team call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 4 have settled so far, averaging 33.3 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think the Patriots are going to give up a ton of points and the defense is going to be a problem. And the Bills win. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Buffalo Bills to beat Patriots** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Buffalo Bills - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Seattle Seahawks to beat Buccaneers** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Denver Broncos to beat Philadelphia** - Kind: Game Outcome Picks · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Denver Broncos to beat expectations** - Kind: Surprise Team Calls · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bills - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Denver Broncos — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/broncos ## 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.
