The Patriots will make the playoffs because their offensive line and coaching are superior to the Dolphins

Dolphins or Patriots, one of those teams makes the playoffs, which one are you picking? Patriots. ... because I think their offensive line is significantly better. ... and Belichick knows defense ... they're going to be a playoff team.

The Patriots finished 10-7 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card. The Dolphins finished 9-8 and missed out.

Dak Prescott is officially back and might not have been as injured as reported

Dak, I think, is back. I'm actually starting to think that maybe he wasn't as hurt as Jerry [Jones] was letting us know that he was.

Dak played 16 games and threw for over 4,400 yards in 2021, proving he was fully recovered from the 2020 ankle injury.

Tom Brady will play for at least another three years

If you had to bet and you're like, all right, he's going to play for another three years, I wouldn't bet against that. It's crazy. It defies everything.

Brady played 2021 and 2022, then retired. He did not play a third season (2023) after this take.

I will bet heavy on the Chargers this year to hedge against my own Washington expectations

I'm going to bet heavy on the Chargers. ... Because I regrettably have expectations for the Washington football team. But I'm going to bet against them because I've made the decision in my brain of how many dollars I'm willing to pay for a win.

The Chargers finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs in 2021, while Washington went 7-10. The 'heavy bet' on the Chargers likely didn't pay off as they missed postseason expectations.

The Bears are still a year away from being real contenders

I'm a little more realistic because I look at the schedule and see, you know, that they really have what—they played one team with a winning record and lost to 'em. I'm a little apprehensive... I just don't think this is their year. I think they're a year away.

The Bears went 11-6, won the NFC North, and won a playoff game. They were NOT a year away - they were contenders this year.

Sam Darnold will eventually revert to his old, mistake-prone self because 'you are what you are'

Usually this league you are what you are. You're gonna have moments where you're up here... and moments when you're down here... eventually you're in the middle and that's who you are... [Sam Darnold] looked frazzled [last week] and that can't happen. It just can't happen in the big games... there's a Sam Darnold problem at least in my mind.

The take is a subjective long-term outlook on a player's career trajectory.

The Jaguars will make the playoffs because their remaining schedule is extremely easy

Jacksonville [will make the playoffs]. Look at their, look at their schedule. It's a joke... if they beat the Cardinals this week, then they got the Titans and then the Colts at home and they never lose to him and the Jets at home, they should win three or four of those games.

The Jaguars won the AFC South at 13-4 and made the playoffs, a remarkable turnaround.
