Takes

Winning close games makes the Vikings more dangerous for the playoffs

I think it's actually good that the Vikings are winning all these like super close games and not blowing anybody out. I actually think like learning how to win in weird ways... All that high pressure practice that they're getting in during the regular season is gonna be very good for them in the playoffs.

The Jets will trade Zach Wilson

I think they're gonna end up trading [Zach Wilson] because the way the teams united behind Mike White, I mean Garrett Wilson I think tweeted or said in post game, I'll go to work, I'll get to work something special about that boy talking about Mike White.

Jalen Hurts is the NFL MVP

The only other thing I really need or would like to add is that Jalen Hurts is the mvp. He was unbelievable today... Mahomes couldn't get a win Jalen Hurts the MVP right now

I'm officially a believer in Dan Campbell and the Lions

I'm a believer, I'm officially ready to say it, I'm a believer in what Dan Campbell is doing to Detroit... being able to turn around a franchise like that is way harder than I think a lot of people think that it is.

The Lions will win four out of their last five games

If they beat the Vikings, I think they'll win four outta the last five. They could, they very easily could.

The Chargers won't make the playoffs and Brandon Staley will be fired

I'm gonna sprinkle a little little take out there. You ready for this? Chargers don't make the playoffs this year. Brandon Staley gets fired. Sean Peyton coaches the Chargers.

The system makes the Niners quarterback successful regardless of who starts

I honestly, I don't really think it matters that much. Who's playing quarterback for the 49ers? I think, oh, we've seen it... it doesn't matter really who the quarterback is. They will be able to scheme a guy who's at least competent into being like a above average game manager.

Joe Burrow officially owns Patrick Mahomes

Joe Burrow owns Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, I mean we have a narrative, it's officially a narrative right now, which is kind of cool... Joe Burrow has Patrick Mahomes number.

The Bengals can win the Super Bowl this year

The Bengals can absolutely win the Super Bowl this year. I think that it's crazy. I think that their past defense is very underrated.

The Patriots are dead and face a multi-year decline

Patriots are dead. Yeah, it's, it's like madlibs. Like are they, are they dead this, this year or is this like a, this feels like it's a multi-year thing going on.

Bill O'Brien would be a great fit as the Patriots offensive coordinator

They're probably gonna get Bill O'Brien cuz he wants to come back to the nfl. He wants to leave Alabama. So I actually think that'd be, that'd be a great fit. Bring him back to New England. Yeah, bill O'Brien is a very good offensive coordinator.

Josh Allen is by far the best quarterback in the NFL

Tonight it was like watching, you know, the Patriots struggle and then Josh Allen's the best about Oh, your by far. He's like watching him is watching like the old Patriots where he makes every throw, he makes every play right. They look unstoppable.

Kyler Murray's biggest problem is that he is fundamentally a baseball player

Not to be Colin Coward here, but I feel like Kyle and Murray's biggest problem is he's a baseball player. Baseball players, they care about themselves. They have individual accolades. Football is a team sport. Kyle Murray's a baseball player.

Mike White's ceiling is Tom Brady

So I like Mike. His ceiling is Tom Brady. I said this when he got his ceiling is Tom Brady.

The Lions will destroy the Jaguars in Week 13

Give the lions minus three. Whoa. I The lions minus three. I'm putting 'em on the table right now. It's not gonna happen. Love that outta the lines are gonna destroy him.

The Chiefs will have a 'double revenge' game and beat the Bengals

The Kansas City Chiefs double revenge minus two double revenge spot. Double revenge means something. The chiefs are going for double revenge. Last year they lost in the regular season and AFC championship game. I think this is the best the chiefs are going to look all season. Is this weekend on Sunday?

Deshaun Watson will be rusty and the Texans will cover +7

Texans plus seven Dashaun Watson's coming back. He is playing his first game of football since January 3rd, 2021. That's essentially two years. In between football games. That's a long time. It's a long time to not play football. Yes.

Tom Brady is coming back to play for the Patriots next season

I'm kind of, I'm I'm back on Brady. You don't think the reason they left is cuz Giselle. He missed you the entire time. If Brady wants to come back, like that's, that's really all it is. Basically. They have the cap space to do it if they want to, which I'm sure they would. And I'm sure Tom wants to come back.

Mike White has a four-interception game coming soon

The only thing I'm worried about was that four pick game last season. It's like, you know, that's there somewhere. You know what I'm saying? You know, it's almost like herpes, you know... You know there's a four pick game coming up with Mike White. We just hope it's not the weekend.

The Colts will cover +11 against the Cowboys in Week 13

The Colts are gonna cover over Dallas. I don't know, I just think, you know, my book was giving 11 points last I checked and I just think the Cols are gonna cover.

I don't mind Jeff Saturday's late-game clock management against the Steelers

I'm gonna say something controversial. I don't mind what Jeff Saturday did at the end of the game. I don't mind it because he had three timeouts and if that drive had kept going in, he probably would've used him at that point... He had enough timeouts that he could have if his back was against the wall.

I prefer to go for two when down by 14 and scoring a touchdown

This is one I've come around on. I think you go for two just because you then know exactly the circumstances that you're kind of going into games with... now you get two opportunities to get those two points. And if you're able to get 'em on the first time, now you obviously know that your six points down with the ability to score and win on that next extra point.

I've not had a blister on my hands since junior year of high school baseball

Maybe baseball. I used to swing a baseball bat. Maybe I got a blister playing baseball in high school. So junior year of high school.

The Bengals are in the exact same spot they were last year before their Super Bowl run

The Cincinnati Bengals, we talked about it last week. They're sitting basically at the exact same spot they were at last year when they ripped off all those wins and went all the way to the Super Bowl. They go into Nashville, they get in a fist fight with the Titans and come out with a win.

T Higgins is the best number two wide receiver in the NFL

T Higgins is probably the best number two [wide receiver]. He was awesome. And it does feel like he doesn't get any of the pub that Jamar Chase does because Jamar Chase is so incredible.

Taylor Heinicke has proven he is a good quarterback and potentially 'the guy'

Taylor Heinicke at this point has proven, I think that he's a good quarterback. I'm getting close to the point where I'm just ready to, I'm dangerously close to saying he's the guy. I'm very close.

Todd Bowles is a really shitty head coach

Todd Bowles is a really shitty head coach. He stinks. He is so bad. And the Bucks, the Bucks have their problems. They're not a good football team... this game is 100% on Todd Bowles. He coached like a fucking coward. He doesn't know who his quarterback is.

The Tom Brady and Bruce Arians falling out was an FTX-level mistake

I don't know how it all broke down how Tom Brady ended up being, getting Todd Bowles as the head coach... we think that maybe he and Bruce Arians had a falling out and if they did, that was a big mistake. That was a FTX level mistake by him.

Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived

Trevor Lawrence has arrived. If you're a Jaguars fan, this is the game you will have in your head for this. This buys you like three more years of Trevor Lawrence. I mean he was awesome in the fourth quarter. Incredible.

Zach Wilson is literally the worst quarterback in the NFL

That's how bad Zach Wilson has been. He's been literally the worst quarterback in the NFL. So if Mike White is B quarterbacking, I think you gotta just keep rolling with him and be like, this is our best chance to win.

Nathaniel Hackett might be the worst NFL head coach ever

I am saying he's the worst coach ever. Nathaniel Hackett would understand, like, we've been very nice. You fucked up a lot... Hey, Nathaniel Hackett, like to show that we're friends, I'm gonna be like, 'Hey dude, you might be the worst coach of all time.'

Russell Wilson needs to go on an Ayahuasca journey to fix his ego

I actually do think that Russell Wilson is the quarterback that needs to do drugs the most... there's no quarterback in the NFL that's more in need of like a nice piping hot glass of Ayahuasca than Russell Wilson is. Ego death. Go off into the jungle for the next two months.

The Dolphins will be bona fide Super Bowl contenders if they win two of their next three games

They gotta go at 49ers, at Chargers, at Bills... These next three though. If they win two outta three, I don't think, why wouldn't we be saying Dolphins are a true bonafide Super Bowl contender?

The 49ers are the scariest team in the NFC

I think they will be the team that all Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings fans will say, 'No, no thank you. Don't wanna play that team.' ... I think they're by far the scariest team.

Josh Allen can win you a Super Bowl, Kirk Cousins cannot

Listen, the Vikings are a good team. Josh Allen's ceiling, Kirk Cousins' ceiling, there's a big difference. That's how I view the teams. Josh Allen can win you a Super Bowl. Kirk Cousins cannot.

Micah Parsons might be the best overall football player in the NFL

I think Micah Parsons, when he's activated, is the best defensive player in the NFL... when they turn him loose, it's his league and they just say, 'Okay Micah, your assignment is to just go out there and fuck everything up.' He might be the best football player.

The 49ers are the scariest team in the NFL

The Niners are the scariest team in the NFL. I know. That doesn't mean they're the best. They're the scariest... when they're right and it's more, it's probably more about Kyle Shanahan's system and what, you know, when the blocks are correct and, and everything's working. It's basically feels unstoppable.

The Patriots will beat the Vikings on Thanksgiving because Minnesota was looking ahead

I'm taking Patriots money line... I think this is gonna be a shootout. Two great teams. Vikings, Kirk Cousins elite. They're gonna have a bounce back game after, you know, got a little bit caught off guard. A little bit of a trap game knowing that they had this game coming up on Thanksgiving. Kind of a look ahead and I think Mac Jones gonna ball out again.

The Commanders will get the 7th seed and lose to Kirk Cousins in the playoffs

I realized what's going to happen. [The Commanders] are gonna be the 7th seed. I'm gonna play against Kirk Cousins in the first round and he is gonna whoop the dog shit outta me. Yes. That's what's gonna happen in the playoffs.

Zach Wilson and Patrick Mahomes would have a competitive game of PIG/HORSE

On that take, I will say if you took Zach Wilson and Patrick Mahomes and made them compete in a horse or pig like game where they had to complete certain throws probably not covered. They'd probably have a competitive game.

I could start over 50% of the quarterbacks currently in the NFL

How many quarterbacks in the NFL right now do you think that you could start over? [Chad]: 50%... I feel like I know the game a lot more than a lot of people. Cause I started at such a young age and that's all I knew in order to, you know, make it in life... I think people mistaken my on the field capabilities of thinking clearly because they see that I do some dumb things off the field.

Derek Carr isn't an NFL quarterback because he only throws one deep route

Derek Carr. Oh, okay. There we go... I watched all their games. He's only throwing one big dig. Right? One big end. That's what we call it. Right? You clear it out, you fill the date behind it. Right. If you can only do that one time in 6, 7 games, I don't know what, how you're supposed to say you're an NFL quarterback right now.

Tom Brady will come back from the bye and lead the Bucs to a hot streak

My favorite, favorite... I do feel like Tom Brady's bye and he's gonna come back and he's, they're gonna rattle off some wins and everyone's gonna be like, watch out for Tom Brady... I think it starts with the Browns minus three and a half.

The Broncos and Panthers will go under 36 points

Broncos Panthers under 36. It is very low. Very low... The Broncos though are nine and one to the under and their unders have been like under 40 in like the last four or five weeks. So it, they just can't score. And they have a good defense.

The 2022 Jets are a mirrors-image of the 2018 Chicago Bears

The comparison I've been making is the Jets this season feel like the 2018 Chicago Bears. And I say that because the Chicago Bears in 2018 were an elite defense. This Jets team has an elite defense. So good. The quarterback [Zach Wilson] was in their second year, second overall pick... It goes to the same problem of your team can be good and your quarterback's bad.

Zach Wilson's ceiling is still Patrick Mahomes

I know this sounds crazy, but I really think [Zach Wilson's] ceiling's Patrick Mahomes. Just, it sounds crazy... I still think his ceiling is there.

Jeff Saturday will keep the Colts physically tough and competitive as 'cover machines'

The Colts continued to do what I think [Jeff] Saturday's gonna have him do, which is just be cover machines. And they played physically... I actually do think that the Colts are gonna continue to be super physical, maybe not like the most electric team... but they're not gonna roll over for anybody like they were before.

The Washington Commanders will make the 2022 NFL playoffs

PFT, Taylor Heinicke is good, and the Commanders are good. I think they're gonna make the playoffs... If you beat the Giants... the winner of those two games is gonna go.

The Carolina Panthers will be the 'bounce back' team of 2023

I guess I'll say something nice about the Panthers. I actually think the Panthers, depending on how the draft goes, they might be my bounce back team next year they'll have a new coach. Their defense is good... I'm gonna preemptively say Panthers bounce back team next year.

The Minnesota Vikings will finish 13-4 but inevitably get smoked in the playoffs

I actually think [the Vikings] will win 12 games... I'm saying right now 13 and four is absolutely what they're gonna be I think... they're gonna win the north easily. They're going to have two home playoff games. And what happened today [40-3 loss to Cowboys] will happen again.
