The Colts have a precision offense that dictates games under Daniel Jones

I see precision, I see design, I see, I see an attack that I just haven't seen in a while... Daniel Jones, like he knows exactly what he is looking at.

Professional evaluation of team quality is subjective.

Caleb Williams struggles with fundamental accuracy on simple 'layup' throws

But I just feel like he still missing balls where it's bouncing in the dirt or it's sailing over somebody's head... Caleb's just gonna react and he's gonna try to make something special happen... But he just misses layups sometimes.

This is a technical critique of a player's performance.

The Chiefs and Eagles will meet in the Super Bowl

I think Kansas City's gonna be back... I think Philadelphia is gonna get on a roll... Philadelphia, Kansas City could repeat and get back there again.

Super Bowl LIX outcome is pending.

Jackson Smith-Njigba is unstoppable as a go-to receiver for the Seahawks

I haven't seen anybody cover Jackson Smith-Njigba... that guy looks unstoppable to me... If you got a go-to guy, go to 'em.

The Lions are essentially unstoppable on offense

I feel like every team is a man short... They just have the perfect combination right now of Montgomery, who's your mutter and closer, Jahmyr Gibbs, who's your home run hitter, and oh by the way, Jared Goff doesn't miss an open receiver. So they're, they're pretty much unstoppable on offense right now.

The Lions offense continued to lead the league in scoring efficiency throughout the mid-season.

Saquon Barkley will win the NFL rushing title

I think Saquon's gonna win the rushing title. I know Derrick Henry leads the league in rushing, but I think Saquon's gonna win it... I think their offensive line is better than Baltimore's. And I think that you watch Mekhi Becton in there at right guard, like he's just, you know, there's just, he's just a freak.

Outcome depends on the final stats of the 2024 NFL season.

The Tennessee Titans are the best two-win team and will play spoiler

Tennessee Titans... seriously, like they can, they legitimately can run the football. Bill Callahan's coaching the offensive line... J.C. Latham was the right pick at left tackle... they've been in a lot of games. They won last week. They put up 400 something yards of offense against Detroit the week before. That's a team... I wouldn't take that team lightly on any given week.

The Titans remained a bottom-tier team record-wise, though they were occasionally competitive on defense.

The Rams visiting the Lions has 'upset' written all over it

The Rams. The Rams coming to Detroit because... this game to me has upset written all over. And I think because of the way the Rams are playing... Matthew Stafford is under center, a lot of play action... they've got enough to go carve you up.

The Lions defeated the Rams 24-23, so the upset did not happen, though it was extremely close.

The Eagles offense has become 'very predictable' and lacks answers for pressure

I feel like if I was playing defense against the Eagles, that I would just be calling their plays out... they're just very predictable... When they came after him [Jalen Hurts]... they had no answer... their answer is Jalen getting outta the pocket and scrambling and running, which was a disaster last week.

The Eagles were subsequently blown out by the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, largely due to an inability to handle the blitz, confirming this analysis.

Jim Harbaugh is definitely leaving Michigan for the NFL after winning the title

Oh, he is gone. He's gone. He's going to win a Super Bowl championship. It's already, like, his mind's already, like they might celebrate today and have some fun in Ann Arbor. They should, but I think he's on his way to the NFL.

Jim Harbaugh accepted the head coaching position with the Los Angeles Chargers on January 24, 2024.

Jim Schwartz is the most important person on the Cleveland Browns defense

The defensive coordinator? Yeah. Jim Schwartz. He's the most important guy. They've had talent there in Cleveland. Now it's, it's elite right now... But you know, he's, he's a, he's a statistician mathematician. So numbers like he gets all that. But then he lets you know that this scheme and what we're running, this is why we're doing it... and then he just, you know, they just dog pressed [the 49ers] right outta the stadium.

The Browns defense finished 2023 ranked 1st in total yards allowed, largely credited to Schwartz's arrival and scheme.

Jared Goff is legitimately in the MVP conversation

No, they're 5 0 1. He's playing great football. The offense is dynamic. The guy's tough as can be. ... You're not gonna find a better quarterback than Jared Goff. And he knows, first of all, he's a lockstep with a really talented offense coordinator... He's not gonna play any better or go anywhere else like he is right now in Detroit.

Goff finished 2nd in passing yards in 2023 and led the Lions to a 12-5 record. While he wasn't a finalist, he was widely discussed in the top tier of QBs that year.

If Tom Brady played for the Falcons right now, they could win a Super Bowl

I feel like if you could get Tom Brady away from some celebrity of function he's at right now and put him in a Falcon uniform, I feel like they could win a Super Bowl. Yeah. Like the quarterback is just, it's, it's too up and down. They got the town is ridiculous. ... London and what they have, like they've got a and they got a solid offensive line.

This is a hypothetical 'what if' that cannot be proven, though the Falcons struggled with QB play all season and finished 7-10.

Max Crosby is the best defensive player in the NFL right now

Max Crosby's the best defensive player in his league. Now I talked to Nick Bosa last week... I go, he plays every single play Nick... nobody plays a game like Max Crosby right now. He plays every snap. Nobody can block him. The run game. Nobody makes more tackles from the defensive end position than Max.

Nick Bosa won the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year award, but Crosby did have a statistical masterpiece of a season (12.5 sacks, 89 tackles).

The Detroit Lions are a dangerous team that could outscore anyone in the playoffs

Detroit is dangerous. Yeah. They're just dangerous. They just are. Jared Goff has been to a Super Bowl... Jameson Williams is a come like, he's just a speeding comment. Like if you add him, like their defense got a lot of good young players... I feel like they could outscore teams. Cause their is really good.

The Lions finished the season 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs, but their performance proved they were indeed 'dangerous.'

Jalen Hurts is the runaway NFL MVP

Jaylen Hertz is the mvp. He's the runaway MVP from me. Like he doesn't, you can't get the guy to make a mistake. And the guy's decision making has been flawless. Now, it might change against the 49ers, the Christmas Eve against the Cowboys. Maybe teams can do that, but man, they're so, they're so solid everywhere.

Patrick Mahomes won the 2022 MVP. Jalen Hurts' shoulder injury late in the season essentially ended his 'runaway' status.
