The Patriots are going to win games that people expect them to lose

I'm just saying like, as bad as it was, I still think the, this, this team is gonna, you know, win some games that people expect 'em to lose.

Prediction Football Medium

The Patriots finished 4-13, their worst season in decades. While they did beat the Bills in October, they generally lost the games they were expected to lose and several they were expected to win.

The Commanders' defensive line is right up there with the Jets as the best in the league

The D is legit in DC. So, so legit. It's, we have an awesome defense. I'm not gonna apologize again for beating the Cardinals. Our defensive line is fucking awesome. We're probably amongst the best in the league. I would put us right up there with the New York Jets is having the best defensive line.

Opinion Football Medium

The Commanders finished the season with the 32nd ranked defense in points allowed and yards allowed, eventually trading away Chase Young and Montez Sweat. They were not close to the Jets in performance.

The Commanders will win 9 to 11 games if Sam Howell stays average

Sam Howell did enough. Sam Howell, he played just good enough to not lose. And I think if he can be average, if Sam can stay average, we should win like nine, 10, maybe 11 games this year.

Prediction Football Medium

The Commanders finished 4-13. Sam Howell struggled mightily as the season went on, leading the league in interceptions and sacks taken.

The Bengals will still be there at the end of the year despite their slow start

I fully expect the Bengals to be there at the end of the year. It's just ex like, I also expected this to be a slow start for them. And they played about as bad as you can play.

Prediction Football Mild

The Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs, largely due to Joe Burrow's season-ending wrist injury in November. Without the injury, they likely would have been in the hunt.
