Brock Purdy walked into the best situation a low-drafted quarterback could ever have

I don't think there's a better situation that a Mr irrelevant low drafted quarterback could ever walk into than not only Kyle Shanahan, but this specific 49ers team that just has so much talent everywhere. Like their defense is great. Their running game is great. He's not really getting hit that much.

Purdy's continued success and the 49ers' dominant system support the idea that the environment was perfectly constructed for a QB of his profile.

The Seahawks are running out of gas because they lack top-end talent

It feels like they're just running outta gas in terms of talent. Their defense getting gashed on the, like last week the Panthers had 240 yards tonight. The Niners ran for five yards of carry. It just, it feels like it's getting to the end here where, where like the fact they don't have a ton of top end talent is hurting them.

The Seahawks did struggle late in the 2022 season, losing 5 of their last 8, but they actually managed to sneak into the playoffs at 9-8.

You cannot stop the run if you are wearing the Seahawks' lime green jerseys

I hope you're saying what I'm gonna think thinking, but you cannot stop the run if you're wearing those jerseys. Well, and you also have to go full lime green... Even if you do commit to it, I still think that you're gonna get gashed on the ground. If you're wearing those jerseys, you might, like, if you go full lime green, you're gonna be able to pin your ears back and get a few sacks on the board. But it does, it seems like that those are jerseys that'll just get run on.

This is a subjective/comedic take about uniform aesthetics and toughness. It cannot be factually verified.

I predict Argentina will win the World Cup final

I want messy to win so bad so that idiots who don't know Ball. Speaking of not knowing ball, like Hank have to fucking eat it. I, I'm predicting I'm predicting Argentina.

Argentina defeated France in the 2022 World Cup Final on penalty kicks after a 3-3 draw.

The World Cup final will end in a 4-4 draw and France will win on penalty kicks

Four four penalty kicks... I think we'll go one each and extra time... And then France wins one gold to nothing in penalty case.

The game ended 3-3 after extra time, and Argentina won on penalties. France lost, and the score was not 4-4.

The Eagles will whomp the Bears

My favorite favorite is the Philadelphia Eagles. Ooh. Against the Bears. Yeah. This gonna be a whomping. I think it's gonna be a Whomping. Their minus nine. But you know, they've proven themselves... The bears are, are and rightfully show as they should be. Like they're tanking. Like they don't wanna win. They don't want to fight.

The Eagles won 25-20, which was far from a 'whomping.' They also failed to cover the -9 spread.

I'm betting the Bills -7 over the Dolphins because Tua Tagovailoa can't play in the cold

I had no idea they went to seven, Tua has played 63 games in college and pro and never started a game that's been under 36 degrees. Yep... He's not a cold weather guy... This is going to be a big time fish outta water studio. Yes. And he also, he started three games with the temperatures under 50 degrees. Oh three straight up and against the spread... Bill's my seven, my pick.

The Bills won 32-29, so they failed to cover the -7 spread.

Zach Wilson has been working on his fundamentals and he might be back

I do think Mike White's gonna get the wind though. Big time with Zach Wilson being QB two now. I know. So there's a little fire underneath him... And he's been working on his fundamentals.

Zach Wilson's career as a Jet never recovered, and he continued to struggle with fundamentals until he was eventually traded.

Weather is not real and the Bills vs. Dolphins game will go over the total

Hank weather isn't real. Also over 44... This is going way over. I'm a big believer in, it's one thing I know... Saturday night. Great game weather doesn't matter. This is going way over.

The total score was 61 (32-29), easily clearing the 44-point total. Hank was right about the score, despite his absurd reasoning.

Max Crosby is the best defensive player in the NFL right now

Max Crosby's the best defensive player in his league. Now I talked to Nick Bosa last week... I go, he plays every single play Nick... nobody plays a game like Max Crosby right now. He plays every snap. Nobody can block him. The run game. Nobody makes more tackles from the defensive end position than Max.

Nick Bosa won the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year award, but Crosby did have a statistical masterpiece of a season (12.5 sacks, 89 tackles).

The Detroit Lions are a dangerous team that could outscore anyone in the playoffs

Detroit is dangerous. Yeah. They're just dangerous. They just are. Jared Goff has been to a Super Bowl... Jameson Williams is a come like, he's just a speeding comment. Like if you add him, like their defense got a lot of good young players... I feel like they could outscore teams. Cause their is really good.

The Lions finished the season 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs, but their performance proved they were indeed 'dangerous.'

Jalen Hurts is the runaway NFL MVP

Jaylen Hertz is the mvp. He's the runaway MVP from me. Like he doesn't, you can't get the guy to make a mistake. And the guy's decision making has been flawless. Now, it might change against the 49ers, the Christmas Eve against the Cowboys. Maybe teams can do that, but man, they're so, they're so solid everywhere.

Patrick Mahomes won the 2022 MVP. Jalen Hurts' shoulder injury late in the season essentially ended his 'runaway' status.
