View episodeThe Tennessee Titans will win and prove why they are the one seed
I think the Titans are the one seed because they beat the Chiefs, they beat the Bills, they beat all the good teams. They killed the Rams... I think we're going to walk away from this game being like, oh yeah. That's why they were the one seed. I'm respecting the Titans.
If the 49ers win, they will have a 50-yard touchdown pass similar to the Flacco-Denver game
If the 49ers win, I think it's gonna be a similar game script to the Joe Flacco at Denver game, double overtime. He's gonna have a 50 yard touchdown pass if they win.
The 49ers will beat the Packers outright

View profileThe 2019 LSU Tigers are the best college football team of all time
With Joe [Burrow], I think we could beat anybody. It's gotta be won on the field. Now they've had some other great teams, but I do believe with Joe and the team that we had, we could've beat anybody we played that year... I'd put the LSU team in front of everybody.
Arch Manning is as close to—or maybe even better than—Joe Burrow
Arch [Manning] is as close to or maybe as good as Joe [Burrow] as I've seen. Really. And I've never said that about anybody. I watched his practice, and I'll say this conservatively... Arch is the real deal.
Derek Stingley Jr. is as talented as Patrick Peterson
Derek's the most talented corner I've seen in a long time... [Corey Raymond] said he was as good as Patrick Peterson. And those guys that have been around Patrick, I love Patrick... we all believe that Derek could be a great all-pro player.
