If the Cowboys beat the Broncos next week, they are on a path to be 6-3-1 heading into their game against the Eagles.

If the Cowboys can beat the Broncos next week, they would then be, what? Four, three and one. And they have very winnable games against the Cardinals and the Raiders coming up.

The Broncos are the 'messiest bitches' in the NFL, but they are incredibly fun to watch.

Baseball fans should blame their own cheap owners for not spending instead of being mad at the Dodgers.

We should be complaining about the Pirate's owner and the Red's owner and the, and the Rockies owner and all these owners that don't wanna spend a dollar. That's who should get the blame. Not the Dodgers. ... I'm done complaining about it. Blame your owner or not the Dodgers.

The Bengals will finish 10-7 if they beat the Jets and the Bears in their next two games

If they beat the Jets and the Bears... that would be five and four. They play the Patriots, Ravens, Bills, Ravens. Let's say they go one and three there... that would make 'em six and seven. Then they beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns to finish the season. By my math, that's 10 and seven.

The Rams against the spread are a must-bet because they are 11-3 in their last 14 games

The Rams are just knocking people out against the spread recently... they're 11 and 3 against the spread in their last 14 games. Yep. One of those was the blocked field goal by the Eagles... they should be 12 and 2 at that point.

I think I'm starting to believe in the Falcons. Are you ready to do that with me? I like 'em man. I like 'em.

The Dodgers are essentially a collection of All-Stars that is unfair to the rest of the league

Dudes on dudes. That's what the Dodgers are. They just have dudes everywhere. They just hit home runs. ... It's crazy how good the Dodgers are. It's not fair. ... Like I want that, I want an owner who's just like, oh yeah, we, we already have a, a ton of dudes that are awesome. Let's just pay another dude a hundred, $200 million just to get even more awesome.

The Falcons are really legit

I think they [Falcons] might be really legit. They had two interceptions, four sacks, like they were all over the place. Held the Bills to two for nine from third down. I think they're really legit.

The Bears are unequivocally no longer a bad football team

I would say the Bears are not a good football team, but they're unequivocally no longer a bad football team. And that is a very important distinction to make in the progression of a team.

There is a significantly better chance for Nick Folk to make a 62-yard field goal than for Justin Fields to pick up a fourth-and-eight

There was a moment where it was a fourth and eight with very little time left. And I said to myself, Nick Folk, his career long in the NFL is 58 yards.

I would play the field goal every single time.

And with that defense, it, it could be, I mean, they should win the north. They should win the north.

The NFC does not have, they have not great teams. They have, they have some bad, bad ish teams, but everyone's, I mean, the Saints are the worst team and they're frisky. Yeah. It's a better conference for sure. Yeah. It just feels like, like top to bottom.

The Colts are a legitimately good football team

The Colts are just fucking good. I don't know what else I, I feel like people are waiting for the shoe to drop. The Colts are five in one... Peyton Manning played on some really good offenses.

Brian Callahan will be the next NFL head coach to be fired

Who's the next, who's the first coach fired hot list? Brian Callahan, Mike McDaniel, Gannon, Aaron Glenn. Those are the four. Who are you guys picking? I think I'm going with Callahan. If the Patriots win that game, Mike Vrabel will have the same amount of wins in Nissan Stadium as a visiting coach as Brian Callahan does.

Curt Cignetti has to be the next head coach for Penn State

Sigge [Curt Cignetti] has gotta be the guy. They went to Oregon and they just fucking kicked the shit out of them. Sigge is a great coach, don't get me wrong. I don't think he has Indiana in his blood. I think that if Penn State called, he's picking up the phone.

Winning against the Commanders would be the threshold for starting to take the Bears' playoff chances seriously

If [the Bears] can find a way to win this game [against the Commanders], then I'll maybe start, maybe thinking to start thinking about playoffs. Still two steps away. And if they lose, it's gonna be like, let's see what happens.

The Cubs will be the only team to get swept in the Division Series

I think the Cubs are screwed because I saw Tom Fornelli our good friend who's on later on in the show, who does not like the Cubs tweets.

I will retire from 50/50 raffles forever if the Cubs lose when I win

If the Cubs lose tomorrow and I win the 50 50, I will 100% retire from 50 50 for the rest of my life. That's a fact. Because then it would just be like, you literally only won on losses, on big playoff losses. That is a fact.

This was a passing of the torch of like, which team is gonna quit on the season?

The Buccaneers are the most fun team in the NFL

The Bucks are the funnest team in the NFL bar none. So much fun to watch. Not even close.
