The NFL should have a national bye week for the entire country in December

We should have a bye week for the whole country. This makes too much sense right around now. Have it be regular bye weeks, regular schedule, and then right like either this weekend or next weekend have no football in America. Everyone can go Christmas shopping. They can go see their family. They can sleep.

This is a subjective proposal for a schedule change that hasn't happened.

Ben Roethlisberger won the game against the Vikings even though the Steelers lost

That was vintage Big Ben in the second half to bring them back. He made the perfect throw to Pat Freiermuth. I say Big Ben won this game. He won this game.

The Steelers lost the game 36-28. Ben played well in the second half, but he literally lost the game.

The Steelers officially have a major problem with their rush defense

A hundred plus rush yards allowed in the first half by a running back under Mike Tomlin. First 234 games as a head coach: zero. Last three games: two. Steelers might have a rush defense problem.

The 2021 Steelers finished the regular season ranked 32nd (last) in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game and rushing yards allowed per attempt.

The Lions will win the NFC North

I think they're gonna be really good. Are the Lions on Crosby watch? ... I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. ... I think they probably will win the NFC North.

The 2026 NFC North winner will determine whether this prediction was correct.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
