Takes

Shedeur Sanders is 'behind the eight ball' if Rex Ryan is getting in his head

If Rex Ryan is in your head, Rex Ryan talks on TV... He has nothing to do with the NFL right now... If Rex Ryan is taking up any space at all in your head to the point where you're gonna react to that in a press conference, I feel like you're already a little bit behind the eight ball.

The Browns will cover the +4.5 spread against the Vikings in London

I like the Browns to keep it within a field goal... the Browns defense obviously is elite top three defense in the NFL. The Vikings are going to blitz the fuck out of Dylan Gabriel. They're gonna confuse him. It's gonna be a lowest scoring game.

The 2024 Eagles are the worst 20-1 team in NFL history

Is this Eagle's team the worst 20 and one team in their last 21 games of all time... every, literally every negative thing that I've said about the Eagles this year has come from a place of extreme jealousy and also trying to stir Max up... I think the Eagles, yeah, they're the worst.

Jalen Hurts is the new Joe Flacco

I think he's, he's become the new Joe Flacco where he won a Super Bowl, but everyone's trying to fight. Is Jalen Hurts Elite sound off in the comments?

Marvin Harrison Jr. will break his first career tackle this week against the Titans

I am on, on tackle breaking watch this week. I think this is the week that Marvin Harrison Jr. breaks his first tackle... Kyler Murray, bad body language. Marvin Harrison, Jr. bad body language... after Sunday... people are gonna start to have that conversation.

The Commanders will win 'decisively' against the Chargers

This is a must win decisively game. I think that, I think we can win this game decisively. Commanders minus six and a half. Yeah. You should take that. I'm in, I'm in on it. I trust in Dan Quinn. Dan's gonna get it figured out.

The Patriots vs. Bills game will be a shootout

I'm excited. I'm really excited. I think this game is gonna be a shootout. I think it's gonna, you know, Patriots are gonna have to get a little bit lucky, but it's gonna be a good test... One score. Yeah... I love the Patriots team total over, I love the regular over.

I am betting the Patriots Moneyline to beat the Bills

I can I take the Patriot's money line? ... At some point, Drake Maye's gotta do it. I'm gonna go Patriot's money line. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, let's go.

Changing the quarterback is the only way to send a real message to an underperforming team

You change your quarterback. Now you're sending a message to everybody. Like, whoa, we need to, we need to pick this thing up. And it wasn't anything against Carson Wentz, it was just the fact that we as a whole team, we weren't coaching and playing very well. I needed to do something to spark the team.

Being a backup quarterback is the hardest role to prepare for in football

It's probably the hardest position on the football team that still has to prepare like a starter, but is not playing... you're sitting there watching... and I never did this in Green Bay... but if that starter goes out with injury, I've gotta put the helmet on and go play. I don't want you to play like the starter. I want you to play like you.

The Bengals should trade for Jameis Winston to save their season

We need Jameis so, so badly... At least Jameis is gonna sling it. At least he's gonna throw it... because it's a national emergency.

The Jets will not win a single game for the rest of the season

After last night's game, I don't think they're gonna win a game. I think they're gonna go... that team did not look like they could win a game.

Drew Allar will have a long career as an NFL backup but never be a starter

I think this man is going to have a Chase Daniel type career as a backup quarterback... millionaire, top 0.001% of quarterback to ever play the game of football, but never be the guy, a starter, but a great backup.

The Commanders' ceiling this season is a second-round playoff loss

I think at the best this team is going to be good enough to lose in the second round of the playoffs. That's the ceiling. I think that's the ceiling this year.

The Patriots' ceiling is a Super Bowl appearance if they beat the Bills

I would like to put Super Bowl appearance. Asterisk... I think we're gonna shock the world this Sunday and then anything's possible.

Morning international games ruin the day for functional human beings

When you have the morning game, it fucks up your entire day as a functional human being. You wake up early, you can't do anything because you're watching the football game. And then guess what? When that football game's over, you have to watch another football game. Roger Goodell hates church.

The Steelers offense is for real now that Aaron Rodgers is getting the ball out fast

Steelers offense actually looked for real. Maybe this is what the Steelers offense is going to be, is Aaron Rodgers getting the ball out insanely fast. I think I saw the stat, it was 2.17 seconds to throw. He just was whipping it around. It didn't matter because the Steelers' offense looked better than it has in a while.

Mike Tomlin absolutely lives in his fears despite his favorite catchphrase

Mike Tomlin, one of his favorite quotes to say is, 'we don't live in our fears.' Bullshit, dude. You do live in your fears. You had a fourth and maybe a half a yard on the opponent's 39 yard line and you punted. Everyone in the world is going for this. Just maybe go for it.

Jalen Hurts is in the elite company of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers with 18 straight wins

Jalen Hurts has now won 18 straight games that he started and finished. And the only other guys who've done that are Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and now Jalen Hurts.

It should be illegal for the Eagles to run fake tush pushes

I think that should be illegal for the Eagles to do. Leave the real tush push, they should not be allowed to do fakes. It's just like an ethics code. You are better than everyone at the tush push. Do the tush push. Don't do the fake tush push. That's almost cheating in my eyes.

The future is now for the Giants with Jackson Dart and Abdul Carter

If you're a Giants fan, you gotta be pretty pumped about this win because you're like, holy shit, this defense might be legit and we might have a quarterback. Abdul Carter said it after the game. He said, 'the future is now' talking about him and Jackson Dart.

James Cook is an elite running back who needs more respect

I just wanna respect James Cook more. Since the start of last season, including playoffs, James Cook has 2093 total yards from scrimmage and 26 touchdowns. He has a touchdown in eight straight games this season. He's awesome. I just love watching him run.

Drake Maye has signs of playing better in year two than Tom Brady did

We got a long ways to go, but [Drake Maye] has signs, he plays better in year two than Brady did. Year two was a Super Bowl win, but he wasn't lighting it up as the quarterback.

The Patriots are the best team represented on the show

Best team on this show. [Patriots]. If we win Sunday? Yeah. Eagles have a hard schedule. I ride with my guys.

The Lions are a scary, complete football team

Lions 34, Browns 10. This is why the Lions are so scary. Because this was such a let down spot... Browns have a good defense. Doesn't matter. They'll just fucking work you and work you with their defense. Work you with their offense. The Lions are a complete football team.

The Colts beat themselves in a win-and-loss paradox against the Rams

Can we still say the Colts are undefeated because they beat themselves? But they did get a win and also still a loss. They're four and one right now because they beat themselves... The Colts had 10 players on the field. You can't beat yourself more than what the Colts did today.

The Ravens will win their division despite starting 1-3

I actually think that the Ravens are gonna make the playoffs. I think they're probably gonna win that division too. I don't think that's even that hard of a take.

The Ravens are no longer Super Bowl contenders

I'm more saying I'm done with the Ravens in terms of like being a Super Bowl contender. I think they'll go to the playoffs, but I just don't... I feel like their flaws just keep coming up. I officially moved the Ravens into my 'Do not trust this team, do not believe their lies' [category].

Sunday Night Football ties should be illegal

Sunday night football ties should be illegal. You have to end the day with a winner and a loser. I demand satisfaction to end the night. I need a winner and a loser.

If you care about the Super Bowl halftime show, you're not a football guy

I'll say it. If you have a hot take, a really strong opinion about the Super Bowl halftime show, you're not a fucking football guy. You showed yourself. You're an anti-football pussy. You gotta watch film at halftime. You gotta figure out what to bet in the second half.

Kyler Murray is really good at a job that he hates and doesn't have fun playing football

I think [Kyler Murray] is really good at a job that he hates. And I think, I don't think he like, has fun playing football. Marvin Harrison, I think he's just, he's got the yips. He's in a weird zone and he's like not having a good time either. And he doesn't have a, a leader on the team that's actually like, trying to get him to play better. They go to the sidelines and they both just look sad.

The Seahawks are a very good team and their defense is excellent

I think the Seahawks are good. I think their defense is very good and, and I I just think they're good. Like I, I, I, I'm high on the Seahawks and I'm low on the Cardinals.

I am worried that Terry McLaurin has a serious core injury

I've become worried about Terry [McLaurin] though. Yesterday it comes out, he's getting a second opinion on a quad injury. And I would imagine that if the first opinion was good news, he probably wouldn't be like, Hey, let me make sure I'll go get a second opinion. And then did a, a little bit of digging... the doctor that he's seeing for the second opinion is a core injury specialist. Mm. Like sports hernias.

The Saints will cover +15.5 against the Bills as a 'pride game'

I'm going to bet on the Saints. Yeah. And I'm, I'm not doing it for like, normal reasons... I'm firmly labeling this as a Do you have any pride game? Yeah. For the Saints. So gut check you, I I'm betting on like Brandon Cooks. I'm betting on Demario Davis... If they, if they don't cover in this one done.

The Cleveland Browns have a championship-level defense

The Cleveland Browns have a championship defense right now. Yeah, I would agree.

Must win. Excited. Yep. Should be a, feels like a get right game. Should be a get right game. I'm excited... Definitely [going to win].

I'm officially done with the Tennessee Titans

I'm done with the titans done with them. So I'm gonna take the Texans, but I'm done with the Titans. I don't, this game, this game is not exciting to me whatsoever. Titans are two and 14 against the spread in their last 16 games. I just, I have to quit. I have to stop.

The loser of Ravens-Chiefs is going to be a dangerous problem for the rest of the league

I think whoever loses this game is gonna be a problem. I think Loser might get hungrier.

The Patrick Mahomes 'conversation' will be triggered if the Chiefs lose badly to the Ravens

At what point do we have to say there's maybe Mahomes isn't what he was... This is the conversation game. If they lose and it's close, then it's not time for the conversation. Right. But we will have a definitive answer after this game. Yeah. We'll give you your answer on Sunday night.

The Packers will easily score over 27.5 points against the Cowboys

Memes and I just hammered the team total over 27 and a half for the Packers. I like that because this to me feels like, I think I'm gonna put the, it might be the Squarest bet that any of us make... Micah Parsons has been wronged by the Cowboys. That narrative is gonna be really the story of the game.

Pick up Geno Smith and Hunter Henry in fantasy football this week

I'm so sorry. I told everybody to pick up Jaden Daniels. String Gino Smith. He's gonna have a good game. Pick up Hunter Henry... Pick up Matt Prater. Lions defense. Everybody pick him up.

The Detroit Lions are going to be just fine after their win over the Ravens

The Detroit Lions are gonna be just fine because they went into Baltimore on Monday night and they look just as good as ever.

Jared Goff is statistically the best quarterback in the NFL since joining the Lions

If you look at Jared Goff's stats since he became a Lion, you could make the argument that statistically he's the best quarterback in the NFL... by the numbers in terms of like yards, touchdowns, all that stuff.

I do not trust the Ravens in big games despite their talent

I do not trust the Ravens. They keep doing the things that drive me insane... these big games, I just don't trust them.

Derrick Henry has a serious fumbling problem in the 2025 season

He also just has a fumbling problem right now. He's fumbled three times on 43 touches in 2025.

NFL teams are going to lose every time they choose to punt or kick field goals

The days of let's just take the points. Those have to be over. You are gonna lose in the NFL nowadays every time you kick the ball. A punt or a kick... You should not kick field goals that much in a game or you're gonna lose.

The Chargers are entering the conversation as a top-tier AFC team

This year does feel like the year that the Chargers enter, like, okay, are we now adding another top tier team to the AFC... it's the year that the Chargers now enter that conversation.

Jalen Hurts may have taken over offensive play-calling in the second half against the Rams

I think that there's a chance that Jalen Hurts may have just taken over offensive coordinator. There was a point in the game where he got into [Kellen Moore's] face and started yelling at him... it seemed to go to the extent of we need to be more aggressive. And I think that there's a chance that the offensive play caller in the second half was Jalen Hurts.

The Rams' knuckleball kickoff strategy will soon be copied by the entire NFL

Joshua Karty, their kicker, the Rams kicker, he actually did an interview a couple weeks ago where he's admitted that he has perfected the knuckleball. So he is using a knuckleball kick... I think that this will end up happening a lot more because he's figured it out and it's a copycat league. I think more guys are gonna figure it out.

Bo Nix is the best quarterback playing in the Week 4 Monday Night double-header

There's four quarterbacks playing. Bo Nix is the best quarterback by a large margin in the four teams that are playing... It is Jake Browning, it is Tyrod Taylor, it is Tua, and Bo Nix. Wow. Yeah. Someone's gotta play well out of that.
