Micah Parsons picks Packers for Super Bowl

Micah Parsons used his podcast this week to make a clear Super Bowl prediction: he is picking the Green Bay Packers. The comment circulated on September 2 after Matt Schneidman, the Packers reporter for The Athletic, posted the clip on X. Parsons hosts “The Edge with Micah Parsons,” a Bleacher Report show that describes him as a Cowboys star edge rusher who weighs in weekly on league storylines. ### What exactly did Parsons say? Micah Parsons said on his podcast on September 1 that his Super Bowl pick is Green Bay, according to the clip shared by Schneidman on September 2. The post presented the comment as an outright pick, not a conditional answer or a list of contenders. (podcasts.apple.com) Matt Schneidman’s September 2 post is the main public trace of the remark cited in circulation around the comment. The post identified Parsons as making the pick on his show and tied the moment directly to the Packers. ### Where did the prediction surface? “The Edge with Micah Parsons” is distributed by Bleacher Report and listed on Apple Podcasts as a weekly football show. (fox11online.com) Apple’s description says Parsons uses the program to discuss league headlines, debate takes and make picks tied to the NFL calendar. Bleacher Report’s show page also presents the podcast as an ongoing franchise centered on Parsons’ reactions and interviews. (fox11online.com) That format helps explain why a single prediction from the show moved quickly once it was clipped and reposted by a beat reporter covering the team Parsons picked. ### Why did Schneidman’s post matter? Matt Schneidman covers the Packers for The Athletic and also co-hosts “The Tundra,” a Packers-focused podcast with former Green Bay fullback John Kuhn. (podcasts.apple.com) Apple’s listing for that show says Schneidman is entering his seventh season covering the team and that the program follows the Packers through the season, playoffs, draft and free agency. (bleacherreport.com) Schneidman’s role in the Packers media ecosystem gave the clip a direct audience of Green Bay followers. His account framed Parsons’ remark as notable because it came from a prominent current NFL player rather than from a team-affiliated analyst or former player. That helped push the comment into broader NFL conversation on September 2. (podcasts.apple.com) ### Was this an official team or league development? The Packers did not announce anything in connection with Parsons’ comment, and the remark was a media prediction rather than a transaction, injury update or league ruling. The available sourcing shows it as a podcast opinion from an active player, later shared on social media by a reporter who covers Green Bay. (fox11online.com) Parsons’ show has a track record of mixing reaction, player commentary and forecast-style discussion. Apple’s episode descriptions from earlier listings show him making playoff picks and ranking contenders, which places the Packers prediction in line with the show’s usual format. ### What comes next? “The Edge with Micah Parsons” is listed as updated weekly, and “The Tundra” is also listed as a weekly show following the Packers through the 2026 season. (fox11online.com) That means the next public developments are likely to come through fresh podcast episodes, team coverage from Schneidman and Green Bay’s on-field results once the regular season begins.
