Takes
Urban Meyer has lost the trust of the Jaguars locker room and cannot recover it
Is there any way he can get back the trust in that locker room? [Booger]: No, I don't think so. I don't think Urban can... not only did you leave us, you went to the bar and you got a female that's not your wife and she's twerking on you... as a head coach, you just can't do that. That's the only thing I would say. You just can't do that.
The Super Bowl will be the Buccaneers versus the Bills
Week five Super Bowl prediction. I am still, I'm going to be a homer. I am going Tampa versus Buffalo.
Signing Blake Bortles will change the entire culture of the Seahawks
Following Russell Wilson's injury, the Seahawks are working out the boat. Blake Bortles. Yes, yes, Blake. Oh, my God. I love it... You bring him in to change the whole culture. You bring him in with a contract already signed.
Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the NFL right now
Josh Allen just threw a bomb. He's so fucking good. He's so fucking good. Best quarterback in the league right now. Who says no?
Dak Prescott will win the NFL MVP because of sympathy votes
Dak Prescott, I still think, is going to win the MVP just because of sympathy votes.
The NFL needs to move extra points back to their original distance
All I can say is we need to move PATs back to where they used to be. It's time to switch it back because kickers were fucked up in the head... When you take something that we are very good at that we should make every time and then you bring it back to make it a 33-yarder, you're going to cause all sorts of mental dominoes to topple over.
The Buccaneers will stumble and lose a few unexpected games in October
I think Tampa Bay is gearing up for another run... I think they're going to lose a couple more games this season. I think they're going to stumble, lose a game to somebody that you don't expect. Like maybe to the Saints.
Taylor Heinicke is good enough to be an above-average franchise quarterback
Taylor Heineke has shown me enough where I think that he's the guy in the sense of we don't need to go out and get a new quarterback. We should roll the dice with Taylor Heineke for the next two years... He's good enough to be an above-average quarterback in the NFL.
Urban Meyer is addicted to lying
I actually think that Urban Meyer is addicted to lying. I think he loves to lie. I think even when he doesn't have a reason to be lying about something, he opens his mouth and the first words that come out are not the truth. That's just how he operates. His reality is different from what you and I see.
Mac Jones is the greatest six-yard thrower in NFL history
Mac Jones, probably the greatest six-yard thrower in the history of NFL football. It's my favorite. Patriots now, it's basically... the six-yard play over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
The Bears might be back and could beat the Packers next week
The Bears might be back. I'm just going to say it right now. I know that I only have a week to say this because they have to play the Packers on Sunday... But I have also told myself I think the Bears might beat the Packers because that's Soldier Field.
Brandon Staley is the NFL Coach of the Year
Right now, [Brandon Staley] is my coach of the year if I had to vote... I'm just kind of blown away by how correct he is every time. I loved that [press conference]. That one was awesome.
Trevon Diggs is the NFL MVP
I'd like to renew my call for Trevon Diggs to get the MVP. Six interceptions in five games. He should be the MVP right now. On pace for 24 interceptions.
The Packers will dominate the Bengals by 10 points
My favorite's going to be the Packers. Minus three against the Bengals. I see this being a 10-point, never in doubt, Aaron Rodgers kind of dominates game.
I am officially 'standing my ground' on the Steelers against the Broncos
My personal stand my ground game where if the Steelers don't win this game, I am done not only with the Steelers this season, but done betting on them, just pretending they don't exist. This is the game that if they have any pulse left, it's a pulse check. If they have any pulse left, they will win this game.
The Dolphins might beat the Buccaneers outright
I'm going with Buccaneers versus Dolphins. They're minus 10. I think they're going to cover. I think the Dolphins might win outright. Seriously.
The Bills will beat the Chiefs in their Sunday night revenge game
I do think the Bills are going to win this game because I think the revenge factor and also this is one of those games where it's like, which team do you trust more to get a stop? And I would put that on the Bills.
The Browns vs. Chargers game will be a high-scoring over
My over is going to be Browns at Chargers, 47. I like a lot of points in this game.
The Browns and Chargers will stay under the total (The 'Lunder')
I'm with Hank and Liam. I am calling this a Lunder. Lunder 45. Lunder, yes.
The Cowboys are currently #2 in the NFL if we used BCS rankings
If we did BCS rankings for the teams right now, I think the Super Bowl would maybe be the Cardinals versus the Cowboys because the Cowboys have the best loss. I think the Cowboys might be number two in the BCS.
The Chargers are the most complete team in the AFC
The story was the Chargers are awesome. The Chargers are really good. I think that they are the best team in the AFC right now. I think they're the most complete team. The defense is awesome. Defensive line is really good. The offensive line sucked last year, and they fixed that.
Urban Meyer will not finish the season as the Jaguars head coach
Is this going to end Urban Meyer's career in the NFL before the season's over? I think it's more Bobby Petrino than Nick Saban. I really do. I think this is bad, man. And it's not just because of this. There's been so many other things that have gone on... I think it puts Urban Meyer in a position where maybe he would resign. Maybe they work out a little bit of a settlement.
The Buffalo Bills will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LVI
Well, my Super Bowl matchup before the season was Buffalo and Tampa Bay. And I think I'll stick with that for now... I think the Bills are the best team in the AFC. And the Cardinals are playing well, but I think Tampa Bay will get it together and start playing really well on defense.
The Patriots will round into form and flip a switch halfway through the season
I do think the Patriots are going to round into form. Now they have - clearly the Bills are the best team in the AFC East. But I do think the Patriots are going to be one of those teams where halfway through the season, everyone will be like, wait, this team, why are they getting points on the road? Why are people doubting them? Like they're going to flip a switch and everything's going to start kind of working a little bit.
Taylor Heinicke is a young Ryan Fitzpatrick
Taylor Heinicke is just a young Ryan Fitzpatrick because he's fucking psycho. He doesn't play by any of the rules... He loves throwing across his body. He loves throwing across the field. He loves almost getting sacked. It's crazy.
I am all the way back on Daniel Jones and the Giants might be good
I'm all the way back on Danny Dimes... Something about that game was incredible. He was like, there are so many times where I'm like Danny Dimes is going to throw a pick, Danny Dimes is going to fumble. He was awesome today. Saquon Barkley was awesome. The Giants, I now think the Giants might be good and it's a sickness of mine.
Trevon Diggs should be in the MVP discussion and is the Defensive Player of the Year
I think that Trevon Diggs, if the season ended today, should get credit and consideration for MVP. Five interceptions in four games... He is the defensive player of the year right now, and he should be in the MVP discussion. At least he's really, really good.
The Cowboys are better than the Packers
I think the Cowboys are better than you think they are. I think they're better than the Packers... Right now, I think they're better than Packers. Complete team.
The Vikings will finish 8-9 and are the new version of the San Diego Chargers
I think maybe the Vikings are going to take the place of the Philip Rivers San Diego Chargers... It's always going to come down to the last possession... They'll finish like eight and nine and be like, alright, well, they could have finished 14 and three or they could have finished three and 14.
The Chiefs' shovel pass will get intercepted on a primetime game soon
I'm calling my shot. Like on a Sunday night, Monday night game, they're going to do the shovel pass and someone's going to intercept it... I think that's going to get blown up at some point and everyone's gonna be like, oh, look at them. They're trying to get too cute with it.
The Jets will shellack the Falcons in London
I actually, this may be over, you know, can over-confident but I think they're going to shellack the Falcons in London.
The Colts will win the AFC South
I think the Colts are gonna probably win the AFC South and I'm going to have to sweat out this pinky... the Colts are better than they've looked and today they finally looked halfway decent and they're going to start rounding into shape.
The Bills are the prohibitive favorites for the AFC if they beat the Chiefs next week
I'm so excited for next Sunday night because the Bills, if the Bills win in Kansas city next Sunday night, like they are the prohibitive favorites to win the AFC championship.
Ben Roethlisberger might retire in the middle of the season
I really think Big Ben might just - he should just retire halfway through... I'm going to say it right now. I think it's bad, man. It's bad... I don't want to watch you every Sunday. Depressing. It's depressing.
Larry Fitzgerald will come back later this year and play for the Cardinals
I do think that [Larry Fitzgerald] is going to come back later on this year and play on the Cardinals... especially if there's an injury.
Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL
Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL. He played very well. This was officially his first game.
Urban Meyer looks miserable and doesn't like coaching in the NFL
Urban Meyer, what are you doing? Urban Meyer doesn't like coaching football. It was pretty apparent like in the first half... He just looks like he's miserable out there all the time. I don't know why he does it to himself.
The Bengals are officially on 'frisky watch'
The Bengals, I think are officially on frisky watch. Who is more frisky? The Bengals or the Panthers. I think the Panthers... The Bengals just joined the Panthers in the frisky watch.
Mac Jones might be overwhelmed by the moment of Tom Brady's return to Foxborough
The moment might actually be too big for Mac Jones because he's obviously a rookie quarterback and he feels like he's got a lot of responsibility... just knowing that he's been entrusted to try to take over that legacy from Tom Brady, but then getting to see it up close and personal.
Mike Tomlin is a lock to cover or win as a 6+ point underdog
I'm taking the Steelers plus seven. I realized Mike Tomlin as an underdog... Mike Tomlin is a six plus point underdog is nine, three, and one against the spread. I think they win this game outright.
Kirk Cousins will turn back into a 'pumpkin' on Halloween against the Cowboys
I've actually identified exactly when [Kirk Cousins] is going to turn back into old Kirk Cousins... Halloween. I think he's going to have the entire month of October this year, and then on Halloween he's playing in against the Cowboys and he's got some tougher defenses that he's going to be going up against.
Dak Prescott is a great value bet at 13-1 to win the MVP
Dak Prescott, 13 to one to win the MVP because you got to look at the narrative comeback. Everyone wants, you know, America, especially the, the writers want the Cowboys to be good so they can talk about it.
The Washington Football Team's season is over if they lose to the Falcons
If the football team loses [to the Falcons], season done. Done. Because they have the hardest scheduling. And we just have, we have to get to December within like four games of 500.
Panthers vs Cowboys Under 51.5 is my lock of the year
My under, this is almost a lock for me actually. In my Billy metrics. This is my first, my lock of the year so far. Panthers Cowboys under 51 and a half... every single game that the Panthers have played in this year, the total has been exactly 33.
The Chiefs will 'clown' the Eagles and make them look like a clown show
My favorite is the Chiefs minus seven against the Eagles. They're going to absolutely clown [them]. No, literally they're going to make the Eagles look like clowns. Mahomes is going to run around like throw some fucking deep bomb.
Cordarrelle Patterson is a fantasy sleeper poised for a big weekend
My sleeper is Cordarrelle Patterson. Oh this is going to be a nice catch. He can return. He can do it all. He's poised for a big game this weekend.
Jalen Hurts might be the best backup in the NFL for the next decade
I think [Jalen Hurts] might be, here's something nice about Jalen Hurts. I think he might be the best backup in the NFL for the next decade.
Nick Sirianni's highlighter thing looks stupid
I think Nick Sirianni was like, I need a thing as a coach to be identified as... I'm going to be the highlighter guy and you have to win. It looks stupid.
