Mitch Trubisky plays completely differently when he has confidence

I'm going to say about here and now when [Trubisky]'s playing with confidence, different guy. Even his interception was good because he pinned them at the one. His confidence, his decision-making, Matt Nagy's play-calling has been phenomenal in the last two games.

While Trubisky had a great game here, his lack of consistency and overall career trajectory suggest that confidence alone wasn't enough to sustain high-level play.

Lamar Jackson will be the NFL MVP and Joe Burrow will win the Heisman

Lamar Jackson is probably going to be the MVP right? Joe Burrow is likely going to be the Heisman. This I think will be the first year that the Heisman winner would be older than the NFL MVP.

Lamar Jackson won the 2019 MVP and Joe Burrow won the 2019 Heisman. At the time of the awards, Burrow was 23 and Lamar was 22.

Jerry Jones will not fire Jason Garrett this season because they are in first place

He's not going to fire Jason Garrett this season... because they're still in first place and still control their own destiny, you can't fire him.

Garrett coached the full season and was let go after the Cowboys failed to make the playoffs in Week 17.

Mike Greenberg is an unapologetic beta

The beauty of Mike Greenberg is that he is an unapologetic beta and that's why I love him so very deeply... he's someone who's like 'I'm a dork'.

This is a subjective opinion on personality type.

Eli Manning is the Forrest Gump of the NFL

Eli Manning is now more than ever the Forrest Gump of the NFL. He just keeps showing up at historical moments.

This is a subjective characterization of a player's career.

The Rams will beat the Seahawks because Sean McVay owns Pete Carroll's defense

Here's Sean McVay's offenses against the Seahawks the last four times: 29 points, 33 points, 36 points, 42 points. The Rams for whatever reason it is can figure out how to attack Pete Carroll's defense... I'll take the Rams.

The Rams beat the Seahawks 28-12 on December 8, 2019.

The Buccaneers will finish 8-8 and franchise tag Jameis Winston

My favorites the Bucks. I think the Bucks are going to finish 8-8 I do. I think Jameis is going to get franchise tagged. I do, I hope so I really do.

The Bucs finished 7-9 and Jameis Winston was not franchise tagged; they signed Tom Brady instead.

If Utah wins and Georgia loses, Utah will make the College Football Playoff

I think as long as Utah wins and Georgia loses, they're going to get the four spot... The committee has been ranking them based on being a complete team... Utah has been dominant all season long.

Utah lost the Pac-12 Championship to Oregon 37-15, which eliminated them regardless of other results.

ACC is the worst conference ever and Clemson will make the playoff even if they lose

The ACC is the worst conference ever and yeah, Clemson makes the playoff if they lose, for sure. Clemson's biggest opponent will be boredom because the rest of the ACC sucks.

Clemson won the ACC and made the playoff. The claim that they would make it even with a loss is a hypothetical but reflects their dominance.
