Mike Florio, Thanksgiving Day Preview, Week 11 Picks, CFB & Lotteryballgate

The Eagles are already Super Bowl champions

Congratulations to the Eagles for getting the one seed. I don't see them losing the Max. Congratulations. Eagles. super Bowl champions.

Trading Tyreek Hill was a smart long-term move for the Chiefs

I also think the Chiefs made a calculated move to essentially say, we know that with Patrick Mahomes, he's gonna be the franchise quarterback for 15, maybe 20 years. We have to evolve and stay ahead of this like trading Tyreek Hill for a bunch of draft picks... I have no problem with like, people are complaining that they got rid of Tyreek Hill. Well, yeah, I think that was a smart move for the next five, 10 years instead of right now.

The Lions will whop the Packers on Thanksgiving

I don't think the Lions offense will look bad that bad, two games in a row. I think this might be a whopping by Lions. I think WIC qualifies as a whomping... I think it's like 17 plus in the NFL.

The Falcons will win the NFC South starting with a win this Sunday

I have a theory. I think the Falcons are gonna be good... after the buy. I think it starts right now... I think they're gonna win the NFC South. I think it starts on Sunday.

The Bills will make the playoffs and win 2 of their next 3 tough games

I think the Bills are gonna win. I think the Bills are gonna win two out of their next three. Which are at Chiefs. At Eagles at Chiefs versus Cowboys. I think the Bills are going to make the playoffs... everything that could've gone wrong to start their season went wrong... I think the Bills are gonna get back in the conversation.

Turkey belongs on Thanksgiving and you shouldn't try to replace it with steak

Turkey on Thanksgiving is what you do. You have to keep doing it. If you start doing steak on Thanksgiving, it now diminishes steak... Let's not try to reinvent the wheel. That's When, you eat Turkey. There's no other time really to eat Turkey. Eat steak all year.

Stuffing is the best Thanksgiving side and should be eaten more often

I want to stand out on a soapbox and pound my chest for stuffing. Oh it's stuffing is the best... we should eat stuffing way more frequently than we do. It's the best.

Dolphins will kill the Jets on Black Friday

I said this on Sunday. I'll say it again. I think the Dolphins, they have been taken out a, a fraud watch for me. I think they're very much for real and I think they will kill the Jets. We have Tim Boyle. It's Tim Boyle time.

USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter stinks and should be fired

My Hot Seat is Greg Berhalter. Ooh. The coach of the US men's national team out. He should be out. Yeah. Hot Seat Greg. He lost to Trinidad in Tobago. Can't do that... He stinks. We brought him back. He doesn't get along with any of the best players on the team. Fire Greg. Fire him.

You cannot leave an undefeated Florida State out of the College Football Playoff

If Florida State can be kept out if they're undefeated? I don't think you can... They won't leave out an undefeated Florida state. I'm pretty confident. And if they do, like everything's a mockery. Because you, you, it doesn't matter who's starting quarter, if they win all their games in a Power five conference, like you're essentially saying games don't matter.

The NFL will eventually face a massive gambling lawsuit over flawed injury reporting

I've been sounding that alarm... If you're gonna make millions from legalized gambling and you're gonna have an injury reporting system that is flawed, that is broken, that isn't enforced, and somebody eventually hides an injury... If I bet on the Bengals and the Bengals hid that information, that would be very relevant to me... they've gotta enforce that rule or they're gonna end up in a massive lawsuit. It's just a matter of time.

Bill Belichick will be the Commanders head coach in 2024

I think what'll happen behind the scenes, over the course of the next six, seven weeks, they'll work out a deal... Watch Bill Belichick to the commanders after the season. I believe it's gonna happen.

Travis Kelce might surprise retire after this season to pursue stardom

I look the guy is thinking about his next career... you gotta know when to make the transition and when the window's open... and it may be that the window for him is never more open than it is right now, or will be after this season.

Max is a crybaby loser for accusing me of cheating at the Lottery Ball

What Max is displaying right now is everything that's wrong with this country... Max is an excuse guy. Max is a loser. If he loses a game, instead of saying, I lost the game, he says, oh, well they cheated... It's pathetic. It's cowardly and it's disgusting... I will take away the, the, the winning 71... I will win it without looking at it before Max does.
