Andrew Luck feels more pain from his injuries because he is smart

My theory on Andrew Luck is that he's smart, so he feels more pain. Is there any credence to my dumb theory?

Opinion Football Hot SubjectiveSarcastic

Dr. Chao explains that different athletes feel things differently, but the idea that high IQ correlates to higher pain perception in football is medically dubious and purely subjective.

The Bears will lose to the winless Browns

The Bears are going to lose to the Browns. So John Fox [is] 0-7 as a Bears coach when they are the favorites. That's a very impressive stat. Straight up losses. And the Browns, I will contend the Browns, in terms of pure full roster, probably have more talent than the Bears.

Prediction Football Hot

The Bears beat the Browns 20-3 on December 24, 2017. The Browns went on to finish the season 0-16.

Blake Bortles and Jimmy Garoppolo are currently the two best quarterbacks in the NFL

I said earlier on Larry's picks, this is the as-we-all-expected game because Blake Bortles and Jimmy Garoppolo are the two best quarterbacks in the NFL right now, as we all expected.

Hot Take Football ScorchingSarcastic

While both had hot streaks in late 2017, neither was considered a top-tier NFL quarterback in the long run.

The Falcons are going back to the Super Bowl

Falcons-Saints. This is actually a good game... I've put myself in the Falcons camp, and I say they're going back to the Super Bowl. I agree with that. I said that three weeks ago. They're a classic team where they have all the talent in the world, and they've played their worst football ever... the Falcons could be trouble for someone.
