The Falcons are for real because their defense and young offensive weapons have reached elite status

I like 'em man. I like 'em... What they did coming back, beating Washington, going on a buy and coming back and taking it to Buffalo on national television... I think they have a lot firepower, man. Drake London is starting to play like Andre Johnson. Kyle Pitts is showing why he was the top 10 pick.

The Falcons won the NFC South in the 2025 season, making Gruden's belief in them largely correct.

Joe Flacco will eventually play for the Steelers because Mike Tomlin respects him so much

I think one day [Joe Flacco] is gonna end up playing for the Steelers. Because Mike Tomlin absolutely hates Joe Flacco. He respects him and he hates playing against him.

This is a long-term career prediction for Flacco.

The Bengals will finish 10-7 if they beat the Jets and the Bears in their next two games

If they beat the Jets and the Bears... that would be five and four. They play the Patriots, Ravens, Bills, Ravens. Let's say they go one and three there... that would make 'em six and seven. Then they beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns to finish the season. By my math, that's 10 and seven.

The Bengals actually finished the 2025 season 9-8, narrowly missing this 10-7 prediction.

The Dodgers are going to beat the fuck out of every other team in the playoffs

I think the Dodgers are gonna beat the fuck out of every other team and it's not even gonna be close.

The Dodgers won the 2025 World Series, beating the Blue Jays in 7 games. While it was close (going to Game 7), the Dodgers dominated the NL playoffs, sweeping the Brewers in the NLCS.

Justin Herbert isn't a top 100 NFL player until the Chargers win a playoff game

Right now, he's not in my top a hundred until, until they win a playoff game. Okay. I'm just not happy with the yellow pants. He knows how I feel about their uniforms. I hate the Chargers to start with... It's my least favorite team, the Falcons and the Chargers, for obvious reasons.

This is a personal ranking criteria, making it inherently subjective.

The Seahawks and Rams will meet in the 2026 NFC Championship Game

I mean you can't, you can't go against Seattle. They have everybody back. Yep. That guy McDonald's a hell of a coach... But the Rams, it's almost like the Dodgers... I think he gotta go with the Rams-Seahawks in the NFC championship on a rewind.

This will be resolved by the 2026 NFL playoffs.

The Bears are clearly the best team in the NFC North

I'm, I'm really concerned about the North. I think the Bears are clearly the best team in my opinion. Hearing that... Caleb Williams, I think he'll make a leap. I think their coach is a hell of a coach... I really think old school football's coming back into play. The Bears are under the center and they're smashing people.

Resolved by the end of the 2026 NFL regular season.
