The Chiefs will never win three Super Bowls in a row

Three in a row is really fucking hard to do... kind of the way you could also talk about it is there's 0% chance because it's never happened before. And if you know anything about gambling or life, if something's never happened, it will never happen.

The outcome is pending the 2024-25 Super Bowl results.

The Chiefs will win at least 12 games this season

I like the Chiefs over this year. 11. I might ride. I might get in hard on that.

The Chiefs started the season 9-0, making hitting the over (11.5 or 11 depending on book) very likely.

Lamar Jackson is a great bet for MVP at 18 to 1

I'll tell you what I'm thinking about betting on is Lamar Jackson to win MVP. 'Cause I think he's like 16 to 1 right now... 18 to 1. Same odds as Dak. Think about this with Lamar. Lamar at 18 to 1, you know that you're at least gonna be in the conversation in November. That's a fact.

Lamar Jackson remained the frontrunner for much of the 2024 season, making 18-1 a massive value play.

Jalen Hurts will win NFL MVP at 14 to 1 odds

You know who I like for MVP? I like Jalen Hurts 14 to 1. That's pretty good. I like that a lot.

While the Eagles were good, Hurts was not the MVP frontrunner by mid-season, trailing Saquon Barkley in his own backfield for narrative power.

Matthew Stafford will be the MVP of the 2024 season

I like Matt Stafford 30 to 1 because it feels like he's due for the... everyone... you know, just picture yourself... and did you know he's never even received a vote for the MVP? I think this might be a narrative year with Matthew Stafford where it's like, you know, one of those, 'Hey, do we appreciate him enough?' 30 to 1 that when you watch that [late season] game, it's gonna be 5 to 1.

Stafford had a decent season but was not in the MVP conversation as the Rams struggled with injuries and Josh Allen/Lamar Jackson/Saquon Barkley dominated the narrative.

Boeing should be on a hotter seat

Boeing explodes during maintenance at an Atlanta airport killing two Delta employees. I feel like they should be on a hotter seat. I wish I knew if I was flying on a Boeing or not... allegesly. But don't kill me.

This is a subjective opinion on how much scrutiny a company deserves.

You don't have to draft a wide receiver until the fifth round

There are so many talented wide receivers in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds that we don't have to draft wide receivers until the fifth round. Now if one comes up in like... if Garrett Wilson is there at the end of the second round, you've gotta take him. But I don't think we're gonna touch a wide receiver till the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds.

The 2024 season saw significant injuries to early-round WRs (A.J. Brown, Puka Nacua), making mid-round depth more valuable, though many mid-round targets Jerry mentions (Keenan Allen, Higgins) struggled with health or consistency early on.

Jaden Daniels will have a better rookie season than Caleb Williams

I just think it's gonna have, I think he's, I think of the two of them, I think Jaden Daniels is gonna light it up a little bit. And legs. He's got the legs.

Jaden Daniels had a historically efficient rookie season and became the betting favorite for OROY, arguably outperforming Caleb Williams for the majority of the season.

Don't draft any Seattle Seahawks players

NFC West Seattle, no one. Wow. Okay. Yeah. I just, Jackson Smith is never going to leapfrog those two guys. DK and Tyler. It's just, just no one. Kenneth Walker's gonna get injured, I just can't deal with it.

Kenneth Walker did miss some time but was very productive when healthy. Jaxon Smith-Njigba actually had several breakout games, making this take mostly incorrect.

Breece Hall should be drafted before everyone else

Jets, we're drafting Breece before everybody. Okay. Like, I'm sort of bummed out that we got the first pick in that draft because you have to take Christian McCaffrey in that piece. But I would love to take Breece, I just think he's gonna have a great year.

Christian McCaffrey missed the first 8 weeks of the season with Achilles tendonitis, making Breece Hall (who stayed healthy) the significantly better draft pick.

I will not draft Travis Kelce for moral reasons related to his podcast

This is the number one sports podcast. Yes. That's it. There is no other sports podcasts. There will be no talk of that person [Travis Kelce] on this... No Travis Kelce on our team. I love that. Good, good. Take a stand.

The host/guest bit about 'morals' is subjective and for comedy, though Kelce did have a slow start to the 2024 fantasy season.

We should draft Stefon Diggs in the eighth round because he's a steal

Houston Texans, all of them. Every single one of them. This is their year... Stefan Diggs is being drafted in like the eighth round. Stefan fucking Diggs. Tank Dell is in the seventh round... I'm all in on the Texans.

Diggs was very productive early in the season before suffering a season-ending ACL injury in October.
