No team will get out of the Big Ten West with fewer than three losses
My prediction was nobody's getting out of the West with fewer than three losses this year and I honestly think that's the case because when I look at Wisconsin and Minnesota who are the two prohibitive favorites in the division, I don't think the gap between them and Illinois is all that wide.

View episodeThe NFC East will win a playoff game this year
I guarantee I'm here's my stamp. The NFC East I think is going to win a playoff game this year. There's going to be some shitty team that fucks it all up stumbles into the playoffs... and they're going to win by like one score maybe like three points in that early Saturday time slot.
The Browns will beat the Bengals because they'll run for over 200 yards
I think the Browns are going to smoke the Bengals because I think they're just going to run the ball... the last time these two teams played the Browns were able to run the ball I think like 250 yards. So I would imagine it's going to be... if Baker Mayfield doesn't have to throw more than 20 times... I think the Browns can have some success.
The Washington Football Team will win against the Dallas Cowboys
I think they're going to win this game, by the way... I think the Cowboys are that bad. And again the Cowboys is never a good sign when the Boys players say we wanted to keep this all in-house but our coaches suck.

Indiana has a real chance to have the best defensive line in the Big 10
I believe there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the Big 10. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys as they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps... They've got like fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's a huge advantage to have.
The Big 10 will only get three teams into the 2026 College Football Playoff
I'm gonna say it now. Big 10 doesn't get a fourth team in. Oh, okay. I think they're only gonna get those three [Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State]. They're just gonna eat each other alive.
