Former NHL Mutt Ryan Whitney And NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller

The divisional round is the best weekend of football

I would like to contend that the divisional round is the best weekend of football. Saturday and Sunday. It is a full weekend of football, and you're going to miss this. Actually, just one week when there are just two games left.

The Falcons will win the NFC

I've been on the Falcon bandwagon. I am on their bandwagon of thinking that they could win the NFC. I said it a couple months ago. I am going down with the ship, so I'm taking the Falcons. I'm taking them all the way to the Super Bowl.

The Eagles will cover +2.5 against the Falcons

I like the Falcons too. But I'm going to take the Eagles. Hank's on the Eagles plus two and a half.

The Patriots will win the Super Bowl

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are just going to fucking, you know, shit kick everyone in the playoffs this year. I think, honestly, I have to take the Pats. I'm going Pats.

Bill Belichick leaked the Seth Wickersham article himself to motivate the team

I'm very, very woke on this whole article thing because there's a reason it came out last week when they didn't have a game. I think Belichick might have been the source for some of the things just to try to get a little controversy going out there in the media, get people starting to doubt the Patriots because Belichick, he loves to play the 'we don't have any respect' card.

The Patriots will beat the Titans by 30 points

Bet every single dollar you have on the Patriots. They're going to win by 30.

The Vikings will beat the Saints in the Divisional Round

This to me is the game where everyone just forgets that the Vikings are really fucking good. I think the Vikings are really fucking good and people forget that. I'm taking the Vikings.

Case Keenum is a Kurt Warner in the making

I think Case Keenum has proven that he's actually just really good. He's just a good quarterback. He's a Kurt Warner in making. Thanks to Jeff Fisher and his tutelage, he has evolved into an elite quarterback.

The Olympic hockey committee ruining the games by banning NHL players is a joke

It's a joke. You can't. The NHL asked if they could at least show the videos from the Olympics, which you can't do. They wanted the NHL logos on the board. They wouldn't do that. So at some point it's both sides, but it does suck for the game.

Russia is the heavy favorite to win Olympic Gold with no NHL players involved

Unfortunately, it's Russia. They're going to win and then they're going to take the flag out and they won't play an anthem. But it's going to be pretty crazy to see because they're loaded. They got all these guys over there that never, I mean, some of them couldn't play in the NHL because there's a chance of them could. They're playing in the KHL.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are the best team in the NHL and my Stanley Cup pick

Yeah, they were my Cup pick. I think I picked them when I came on your show, fellas. They're nasty. They have four legit superstars. Hedman, Stamkos, Kucherov, and their goalie, Vasilevskiy. They're the best team in the NHL, for sure.

The NHL does a terrible job of marketing the league

I feel like the NHL just doesn't do a good job of marketing the league. It's so goofy. I don't understand it. You do stuff that really kind of confuses the casual fan. They haven't talked about [the All-Star Game] at all.

Bears fans should be excited about Matt Nagy and Mitch Trubisky

You should be so fucking excited just for what Mitch Trubisky's going to be able to do now. It is, like, it's really going to be, I think, a mixture of an old-school West Coast offense and a spread system. He's creative, he's smart. I think being a head coach, you have to be a really good leader. I think he's got that.

Jalen Ramsey is the best cornerback in the NFL

I think right now Jalen Ramsey's the best corner in the NFL. I mean, Calais Campbell could probably be defensive player of the year. That defense is legit, right? Just watching them, they seem like one of the best defenses I've seen in the last five, six years.

Josh Rosen is the best quarterback in the 2018 Draft

I would take Josh Rosen first. There are holes in his game, of course, and his personality is going to rub some people wrong, but I think he's the most naturally gifted of the bunch.

Jake Fromm is better than any quarterback in the 2018 Draft class

I had a hot take. Jake Fromm is better than any of the quarterbacks that are in this year's draft.

Tua Tagovailoa will win four or five Super Bowls

Oh, without a doubt. First ballot Hall of Fame for Tua. College and pro. I think you've got to put him up there, four or five [Super Bowls]. He's pretty damn good, though.

LeVar Ball is an deterrent for LeBron James going to the Lakers

This is a huge problem. Dad to dad, this is actually a great piece of news for LeVar Ball because I don't think LeVar Ball has time for a small baller like LeBron in L.A. LeVar wants to make sure that L.A. is a ball town. LeVar Ball actually might do the real outbreak thing and just hover in a helicopter above LAX and not let LeBron land in town.
