The Jacksonville Jaguars are Super Bowl contenders

Yeah. Super Bowl contenders. They Jaguars... They figured something out in the second half. They moved the ball well.

OpinionFootballMedium
The Jaguars finished the 2023 season 9-8 and missed the playoffs entirely, failing to be serious Super Bowl contenders.

Fans will initially complain that the new PMT studio looks 'too clean' and professional

I think people are gonna love it... but I think there will be a little adjustment where people will be like, oh, they're, they're, they looked. It looks too clean... Just wait.

PredictionMediaMild
When the Chicago studio debuted, there were significant comments about the higher production value before the hosts eventually 'junked it up' with their usual decor.

Jared Goff is a top-five quarterback this season

I think Jared Goff has been playing... I think he's a top five quarterback in terms of this season.

OpinionFootballMedium
Goff had a stellar 2023 season, finishing 2nd in passing yards and 4th in touchdowns, making this a very defensible top-5 claim for that year.

Benching Desmond Ridder would mean the Falcons are giving up on the season

I think if you benched Desmond Ridder right now, it's, you're done, you're done over him... You're giving up.

OpinionFootballMedium
The Falcons did eventually bench Ridder for Heinicke later in the season, and it coincided with their season falling apart and Arthur Smith's eventual firing.

Aiden O'Connell will be a future starting quarterback in the NFL

I have a take. I think Aiden O'Connell might be a future starting quarterback in the NFL... I saw him against the Chargers. He looked good.

PredictionFootballMedium
O'Connell started 10 games in his rookie season (2023) after Jimmy Garoppolo was benched/injured, though his long-term starter status remains in question.

Sean Payton is intentionally tanking for Caleb Williams

Sean Payton is very clearly tanking this season... I think that the Broncos are intentionally tanking for Caleb Williams and it's maybe a smart move.

Hot TakeFootballHot
The Broncos finished the season 8-9 and did not get Caleb Williams, making the 'tanking' claim appear incorrect.

Julio Jones is currently 'Prime Julio Jones' again

I'm also fully back on Julio Jones... He's Prime Julio Jones... He said he is gonna dominate and if he says he's gonna dominate, then [I'm in].

Hot TakeFootballScorching
Julio Jones finished the 2023 season with only 11 receptions and 74 yards for the Eagles, far from his 'prime'.

Nebraska will win their next three games and finish the season bowl eligible

Northwestern win, Purdue win, Michigan State a win. That's six and three... Maryland... Illinois just beat them like they're a beatable team. You win that you're seven and three, you're bowling.

PredictionCFBHot
Nebraska finished the 2023 season 5-7, losing their final four games and failing to reach a bowl game.
