The 49ers will beat the Rams in the NFC Championship Game

I'm going Moneyline... San Francisco 49ers. They're going to win. Jimmy G is going to have a good game. I do. Kyle Shanahan is probably preaching to this guy... Hey Jimmy, just take care of the ball... I think he's going to have his best game this week. He's going to go out there. He's due for a good game.

The Rams defeated the 49ers 20-17 to advance to Super Bowl LVI.

The Bears' new coaching regime under Matt Eberflus will likely be fired in a few years

This new regime of Matt [Eberflus] and Ryan [Poles] is probably going to be fired, which that is very funny that they just did that again. It's probably going to be fired in a few years anyway. I didn't realize that... I've completely flipped my opinion that organizations fail players and fail coaches.

Matt Eberflus was fired as Bears head coach on January 10, 2025, after three seasons.

The Bears should have hired an offensive coach to pair with Justin Fields instead of Matt Eberflus

I was looking at that and I was a little conflicted. You have a young quarterback and we've seen with all these other teams when they're surrounding these guys with those quarterback whispers, whatever you want to call it, these offensive minded coaches, we've seen a lot of success... I personally would have went to the opposite direction of [defensive minded].

Justin Fields struggled under Eberflus and was eventually traded to the Steelers, and Eberflus was fired after failing to develop a consistent offense.

Kyler Murray's bad body language and lack of sideline chemistry suggest he isn't a great leader

Something that I've noticed about Kyler [Murray] in the last, maybe three games of the regular season... in that playoff game, the body language from him, like he never had any of his teammates ever around him on the sideline... He always looked like he was either bored or like very sad to be at the games. And yeah. So I think it does make a difference.

Murray's leadership was a recurring storyline, later punctuated by the 'independent study' clause in his contract.

Dan Campbell needs to evolve and stop taking unnecessary risks like fake punts

I love Dan Campbell, but he needs to evolve his play color. His, his, his coaching style. He, he, he can't act like he's a the hunter anymore. He's being hunted. You know, you, you're the good team... We don't have to run a fake punt in the opening drive against the divisional rival... you don't need to steal a possession anymore. You have a great offense that we're gonna score you points. You go do that in the playoffs, you'll get eliminated.

Dan Campbell and the Lions were the #1 seed in the NFC but lost in the Divisional Round to the Commanders 31-45, committing 5 turnovers. Edelman's point about Campbell needing to evolve his aggressive style was validated by the Lions' playoff collapse.

Matthew Stafford is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

I think he's a first battle hall of famer, man. He's a stud... I feel like he's like a Aaron [Rodgers] and [Mahomes] hybrid where like he gets that pop that, that Aaron got. But he also has been changing arm angles and doing No looks back in Detroit 10, 15 years ago.

Stafford is not yet eligible; this will be determined after his retirement.

Bill Belichick will definitely return to coaching in the NFL

Hell yeah. [Is he going to coach again?] He's definitely gonna coach again... I do think he, he, he loves football and he wants to coach man. I think this could be all part of his, his master trick of trying to get back in and show that he's like young and cool... if I was a gambling man, I think he'd be a, he, he, he [will coach].

Bill Belichick did not return to coach in the NFL. He took the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina instead, surprising many by going to the college level rather than returning to the NFL.
