The 49ers will beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship

I like the Niners against Philadelphia. Niners defense... the linebackers for the Niners are insane. It's gonna be a bloodbath... I'm taking the Niners. I'm taking Kyle Shanahan over Sirianni. That's why I'm taking the Niners.

PredictionFootballMedium
The Eagles defeated the 49ers 31-7 after Brock Purdy was injured early in the game.

If you are taking an underdog in the playoffs, you should bet them straight up

Spreads don't really matter in the playoffs. They don't. That's what we've realized. If you're gonna take an underdog, take 'em straight up.

OpinionFootballMild
The 49ers (underdog) lost straight up to the Eagles, while the Bengals (underdog) also lost straight up to the Chiefs. In these specific games, taking the underdog straight up would have resulted in losses.

Brock Purdy winning seven Super Bowls would erase Tom Brady's legacy

I'm rooting for Brock [Purdy] in the Niners because Brock has a chance to totally erase Tom Brady's narrative and legacy if he wins a Super Bowl... If he wins seven, he would have a better [story]. He was drafted Mr. Irrelevant. He would totally erase Tom Brady's underdog story because it's an even bigger underdog story.

Hot TakeFootballScorching
Purdy lost the NFC Championship game two days later and has not yet won a Super Bowl, let alone seven.

The Eagles will beat the 49ers by three touchdowns

I'm betting on the Eagles. The Eagles are gonna win this game by three touchdowns. Rock Purdy is gonna have a Joe Flacco rookie quarterback stat line. Stop the run, score early, make 'em throw, win.

PredictionFootballHot
The Eagles won 31-7, exactly a 24-point (three touchdown + field goal) margin. Hank was shockingly accurate.

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.

OpinionFootballMedium
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.

OpinionFootballMedium
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].

PredictionFootballMedium
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.
