The Cowboys losing takes a lot of pressure off the Eagles locker room

The Cowboys losing has changed everything. It has changed everything. The entire vibe of Philadelphia. ... Nothing the Eagles can do tomorrow is worse than what the Cowboys did today. ... A lot of pressure has been taken, taken off out of that locker room. ... they're not going to say it out loud, but inside of their, inside of their head. Yes.

The Eagles are going to smoke the Buccaneers

I think I'm gonna bet the Eagles. I don't, I'm on the Eagles. ... I just think the Bucs have beaten a lot of NFC south teams that don't know. ... I think you're gonna smoke them.

Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time

Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time. He's 14th all time in NFL wins. He's got two national titles in college football. If you put it all together, Pete Carroll has an argument for being a top 10 football coach of all time.

I would rather the Patriots hire Mike Vrabel than Jerod Mayo to replace Bill Belichick

I would rather Vrabel... He's a recurring guest, friend of the program. He's proven it. Super Bowl champion. Obviously Mayo is too, but I would rather Vrabel just [because of his] proximity to the show.

I am no longer interested in the Commanders hiring Bill Belichick because he is now unemployed

I don't think I'm interested any longer at Bill Belichick because now that he doesn't have a team, it's like, do I really want to... he was way more attractive as a candidate when he had a job. Now it's like, oh, this unemployed guy wants to work for me... I don't want a retread like Belichick.

Bill Belichick's mystery landing spot could be the Dallas Cowboys

I have three candidates for the mystery team. The Dallas Cowboys. If Mike McCarthy loses in the first, or maybe even in the second game, if they get their ass kicked in the divisional round, I could see Jerry Jones being like, we gotta make a change, Belichick's out here.

I will be the biggest Dallas Cowboys fan if they hire Bill Belichick

If he goes to Dallas, I'm gonna be the biggest Cowboys fan. Even bigger than I am now.

The Cleveland Browns will beat the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round

I think there's maybe a little, like, you might get into a point where it's like, as great as CJ Stroud's been this year, this is a different animal. And this is a different beast. And this is a team that's, that's completely different than the teams that they've been beating down the stretch.

The Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Miami Dolphins because Tua Tagovailoa cannot play in the cold

I don't see Tua winning this game... the stats that you had for Tua, you can just watch Tua when he plays in the cold. He looks very uncomfortable going on the road. Arrowhead is like one of the top two or three hardest places to play... I think I'm gonna take the Chiefs.

Travis Kelce to score a touchdown is the Super Wild Card prop of the year

Travis Kelce scored touchdowns plus money now. And the dolphins are not great guarding the tight end. And I do think that like when you get to the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes will be like, who can I trust? Travis Kelce's the guy I can trust.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will beat the Buffalo Bills outright

I like the Steelers moneyline... You hate all our friends. You hate our futures. It's gotta be a dog that wins.

Nuclear missile whale play on the Packers vs. Cowboys over

I think I might make this a nuclear missile whale play on the over... I don't know how the Packers are gonna stop the Cowboys. And I also don't really know how the Cowboys are gonna stop the Packers 'cause Jordan Love's been that good... I like this over a lot. 50 and a half.

I am switching my pick to the Detroit Lions over the Los Angeles Rams

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are slightly favored over the Philadelphia Eagles in Wild Card Weekend

The biggest one for me is Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. I actually, in my projections, I have Tampa Bay very, very slightly favored... If you look at the weighted numbers that give more weight to recent games, Tampa Bay is 15th, Philadelphia is 21st.

Buffalo and Dallas are the two best teams in the NFL outside of San Francisco and Baltimore

The number two teams in each conference are pretty clearly Buffalo and Dallas. Not just the number two seeds, but the number two teams by both DVOA and weighted towards the end of the season. If somebody's gonna win this thing other than San Francisco or Baltimore, it's probably going to be Buffalo or Dallas.

Firing Mike Vrabel was a stupid move by the Titans

Mike Vrabel fired by the Titans. I don't know, I think that's a really stupid move by the Titans... Mike Vrabel has had insane amounts of success with Ryan Tannehill as quarterback. Find me another coach could get the, or Ryan Tannehill to the AFC championship game.

I think Harbaugh's gonna go to the Chargers or the Raiders.

The Rams visiting the Lions has 'upset' written all over it

The Rams. The Rams coming to Detroit because... this game to me has upset written all over. And I think because of the way the Rams are playing... Matthew Stafford is under center, a lot of play action... they've got enough to go carve you up.

The Eagles offense has become 'very predictable' and lacks answers for pressure

I feel like if I was playing defense against the Eagles, that I would just be calling their plays out... they're just very predictable... When they came after him [Jalen Hurts]... they had no answer... their answer is Jalen getting outta the pocket and scrambling and running, which was a disaster last week.

Jim Harbaugh is definitely leaving Michigan for the NFL after winning the title

Oh, he is gone. He's gone. He's going to win a Super Bowl championship. It's already, like, his mind's already, like they might celebrate today and have some fun in Ann Arbor. They should, but I think he's on his way to the NFL.

This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever

This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever. And it's crazy when they were 7-4, they were also like the most Mickey Mouse 7-4 of all time. But that's because Mike Tomlin is a pretty damn good coach. And so he was able to win all those games when they were getting outgained back to back to back.

The Jaguars' collapse was caused by the 'Curse of the Terrible Towel'

Since the Jaguars disrespected the towel [The Steelers' Terrible Towel], the Jaguars slid into oblivion. The Steelers end up taking the Jaguar's playoff spot right on the last day of the season. We need to ask, did the terrible towel incident have anything to do with that? I think absolutely. You can't argue otherwise.

Only four NFL teams would say no to trading their QB for CJ Stroud right now

How many teams would say no if they asked if you called him up and was like, CJ Stroud for your quarterback? The Bills. The Chiefs. I think it's four. I think it's the Bengals and the Ravens. I think that's it. I think every other team would probably say yes. Especially given his contract.

The AFC is wide open and the Bills are as good as anyone when playing their best

If you think the Bills win that Chiefs game, bet 'em to win the Super Bowl at 35 to 1 because the AFC is so wide open and the Bill's best is just as good as anyone else. The bill's worst is really, really bad.

The Chiefs are very dangerous in the playoffs and you shouldn't bet against Mahomes

The Chiefs might actually be very dangerous this Playoffs... Patrick Mahomes, people are actually disrespecting the Chiefs and being like, they can't do anything. And it's Patrick Mahomes. So that really, that's all you gotta say. It's Patrick Mahomes in the Playoffs. You don't wanna bet against that guy.

Dennis Allen losing the locker room. The whole team went rogue. It was a mutiny. The whole team was like, it was like in Rudy when they put their jerseys on the table and they said, we want this guy coach. That's what they did for Jamal Williams. So then Dennis Allen had to apologize after the game.

I'm down for Marvin Harrison Jr. He's gonna slip approach. You're gonna take Caleb Williams. You're gonna take Drake May... I'm down for, give me Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Packers' ability to find Hall of Fame quarterbacks is unfair and they are a model organization

Jordan Love is really fucking good... The Packers going from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers [to] Jordan Love is just the shining example of how unfair life is... they have a great coach. They have a great infrastructure. They figured out the hack to quarterbacks: draft 'em, sit 'em, make 'em good, make 'em Hall of Famers.

I am leaning toward the Bears drafting Caleb Williams #1 overall

I lean Caleb Williams. He's so fucking good. And he would be, he would also just make me excited for a couple more years... whatever the choices are, they gotta make the right choices. I would lean, Caleb Williams.

Coming back from playing for the New York Jets is more impressive than coming back from the dead [than DeMar Hamlin]. And then taking the Cleveland Browns to the Playoffs. He's basically the next Jesus.

The Raiders should hire Antonio Pierce full-time for life

Antonio Pierce has been hired full-time again, they should just remove that, that title. Make him head coach for life. Or at least just remove the interim tag before the game and get a nice little boost.

The Ravens are very live to beat the Steelers despite resting starters

I am of the belief that Tyler Huntley and the way this game goes, that the Ravens are very live in this game. I think they're live in this game because the Ravens are the best team in the NFL at playing games like this. Like Harbaugh prepares them to do this in the pre-season.

The Titans will beat the Jaguars as Mike Vrabel's revenge Super Bowl

I think that this is the Titans too. I don't believe in the Jaguars. It's just the Mike Vrabel in a week... against the Jacksonville Jaguars who are battered and beaten. This is Vrabel's Super Bowl this year also revenge.

Bill Belichick will not lose to the New York Jets

I am seven and a half sacks away from being a lock for the Hall of Fame

I'd say seven and a half sacks from now for the world to say I'm a hall of Famer. Once I hit that 125 threshold... sometime could be this game or next year, it's gonna be like, alright. Cemented 125. 125 is getting into a hall of Fame.

Philadelphia Eagles fans are the most annoying fan base in the NFL

Philly, anytime of the year. Anytime of the year, bro. They're like vegans. They're like, you know, you don't ask if they're vegan or not. They tell you. Like, 'yo, what about our Philly?' I didn't even say anything about Philly football.

Dan Campbell's aggression is acceptable because it is consistent

I think Dan Campbell, it's crazy to all of us. I don't think it's crazy at all to his players. I think he tells his players before the game, here's the plan. If we're ever in this situation, we're going for two. We're trying to win this game... when Dan Campbell's aggressive and consistently aggressive, I'm all for it.

The fumble-through-the-end-zone touchback rule is a good rule that should not be changed

Everyone out there tweets the same thing. This is the worst rule in sports. Fuck you. It's not, it's actually a great rule. The end zone exists as a special place in football. There's different rules in the end zone... It's an agent of chaos too, which I, I like that little bit of uncertainty when you get down to the goal line.

Mike McCarthy is the downfall of the Dallas Cowboys

Mike McCarthy, you have probably the best kicker in football right now... Mike McCarthy used a timeout before the two point conversion. If they get the two point conversion, you have two timeouts... He is so fucking stupid, so fat. He will be the downfall for the Dallas Cowboys.

Ravens 56 Dolphins 19 Ravens. The one seed. This was an ass kicking. Lamar Jackson. MVP. Happy. We can be done with that discussion.

Shane Steichen is the 2023 NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen should be Coach of the Year. He's got my vote. He's had my vote for a while. Colts were over under six and a half wins. They're now gonna play for a win and get in... Entire resume should happen with the Eagles in conjunction. How bad the Eagles have [collapsed].

The Chicago Bears are building a winner identical to the 2022 Detroit Lions

The Bears are building something. I don't care what people say. I know people are gonna trash me. The Bears are building something. They're basically identical to what the Lions did last year and the fact that they almost made the Playoffs... Justin Fields. We're keeping Justin Fields. We're taking all the picks.

The Chicago Bears will be a good football team in 2024

The Bears are going to be good in 2024. I'm saying it right now. This team is playing fucking good football. Justin Fields looks good... I don't care that this might be a terrible soundbite for me next year, but I'm saying it right now and I believe it.

Nick Sirianni should be fired if the Eagles lose in the first round of the playoffs

The Kansas City Chiefs are dangerous in the playoffs because everyone finally respects them less

Now the entire world is talking shit about them... I think they're very scary in the Playoffs.
