The Indianapolis Colts' season is officially over.

The Colts season is now over. They're not going to make the playoffs. They're 6-6, and they've lost.

The NFL should revoke the home playoff game for the winner of the NFC East.

Take away a playoff game. Take away the home playoff game from the team that wins the NFC East. They don't deserve it.

Daniel Jones stinks and Pat Shurmur is a 'dead man walking'.

Daniel Jones stinks and Pat Shurmur is a dead man walking. Pat Shurmur, update on where Pat Shurmur is with the entire New York Giants organization. He is at the level where he's talking about how they're historically young team. So that is the last bargaining level of a coach about to get fired.

Mike Tomlin is the NFL Coach of the Year for 2019.

I'm saying Mike Tomlin's the coach of the year. Because what the steelers—and we have made fun of Mike Tomlin a lot on this podcast. So I think it's only fair to say when he's doing a great job and what he's done this year has been a fantastic job. ... I think he's the coach of the year with what he's done with this team.

Nick Foles is an average-to-below-average quarterback who stinks despite his Super Bowl win.

If you took out his 27 touchdown, two interception year, he's played 44 games. He's had 44 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He stinks. ... He is completely average to below average at his profession, but he has reached moments where he has been exceptional.

Justin Tucker is worth a first-round pick in a trade.

How much do you think Justin Tucker is worth if you were trying to trade him? ... His value as a kicker is so off the charts. ... And he's worth like he his value is that of a position player in my mind.

The Oakland Raiders' season is officially over.

All right, so that game, the Raiders are done. They're done. Done-chained them.

The Baltimore Ravens are my Super Bowl pick

The Baltimore Ravens have been my Super Bowl pick since three weeks ago, I believe.

The Rams are broken and suffering from a Super Bowl hangover

The Rams definitely, there was a point in that game where they just flat out quit... Their offensive line has been bad. Jared [Goff], obviously, a personal friend... he's got to play better, but the whole team kind of looks a little broken... I think losing the Super Bowl the way they lost it, those kind of things kind of stick with you for a year, and it takes a year to reset it.

Mark Ingram isn't getting enough credit for the Ravens' success

I'm going to say you know who's not getting enough credit is Mark Ingram. And people are going to start talking more about Mark Ingram as people dig further into the Baltimore Ravens. But Mark Ingram is – he runs with authority.

I love the over in Bills vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Fellas, I love this over. This is going to be my over of the day. Because you've got to have at least one over on Thanksgiving. It's a lot going against Buffalo. Buffalo on the road. Different defense at home. Very good defense on the road. Maybe not as good. And also, teams have been able to run a little bit on the Bills. Guess who the Cowboys have? Zeke.

The New Orleans Saints will blow out the Atlanta Falcons

I think that the wonky game already happened with the Saints and the Falcons. I think the Saints are going to blow them out.

The Cleveland Browns are going to run the table

I still think it's a portal game. I still think that the Browns are going to run the table... If they can win this game [vs Steelers], they have a chance to run the table.

The Patriots will dominate the Texans

Yep, this is the game. Patriots get back on a roll. They always dominate the Texans... I think this is a game they win by 10 to 14 points.

The Green Bay Packers defense is not for real

I'm going to continue to consider the Packers semi F word [frauds]. No, because their defense is not for real. And their offense does this thing where you now have two cases of it, the Chargers game and this game. They looked so bad.

Aaron Rodgers stinks whenever he plays on the West Coast

Aaron Rodgers sucks on the West Coast. I was running the numbers on him. I think he's something like 1-5 in the last 10 years on the West Coast or in California. He's a Cali boy. He goes home, he gets too comfortable.

Jameis Winston is the most entertaining quarterback in the NFL

I love Jameis Winston... Jameis Winston is one of, if not my favorite, quarterback in the NFL because of the comedy and because you can just always... Do you know he leads the league this year in 300-yard games?

Sean McDermott is a top candidate for NFL Coach of the Year

Is it time right now to start asking about Sean McDermott, possible coach of the year? That's like the sweet spot for a coach of the year, coaching a smaller market team and elevating them beyond what their expectations were.

Pat Shurmur should be fired for making Mitch Trubisky look like an average quarterback

Pat Shurmur you should be fired if you make Mitch look competent... Pat Shurmur should lose his job for making Mitch look average.

Are we ready to say that Daniel Jones was definitively a better pick than Dwayne Haskins yet? I think Daniel Jones has more than Dwayne Haskins thus far that I've seen.

The Cleveland Browns will run the table and make the playoffs

I think that they [the Browns] might run the table. I think that the Browns might make the playoffs. I think my brain is telling me that they're going to run the table. So if I'm wrong, it's not me. It's my brain.

Michael Thomas should be considered for NFL MVP

I'm ready to hop on board that Michael Thomas should be the MVP... He's done it with two different quarterbacks, and I think that that speaks more. He's kept the Saints afloat by being so steady through Drew Brees' injury, Teddy Bridgewater, and then Drew Brees coming back.

Carson Wentz is a bad quarterback who just had one good run

I think he's a bad quarterback that has gone through good runs... I think he's been who he is his entire career. He's lost a little bit of his mobility, I think, over the last two years. But I think overall he's a perfectly average quarterback.

Ryan Tannehill is officially 'the guy' and has turned the corner in Tennessee

He is the guy. Change of scenery is all it took for Ryan Tannehill... What we're seeing right now is him taking the next step in front of our very eyes.

Dak Prescott is the 'suckiest quarterback that doesn't suck'

He's the suckiest quarterback that doesn't suck... I like Dak Prescott a lot. I think he's a very good quarterback. I think he's a guy you've got to give money to. I just don't - I can't remember the last time he won a big, big game.

The NFL is actually punishing the Steelers by not suspending Mason Rudolph

I actually think that the punishment for the Steelers is not punishing Mason... the league punished the Steelers by not suspending Mason Rudolph. Exactly. Yes. Duck [Hodges] [is] okay.

The Saints, Steelers, and Patriots all winning is a can't-lose parlay

There's no chance the Saints lose at home to the Panthers... The Steelers are not going to lose to the Bengals because Mason Rudolph has never lost a game after he's been accused of saying something racist... and the Patriots will beat the Cowboys because all you got to know about the Patriots Cowboys game is Jason Garrett verse Bill Belichick.

Always bet the over when Joe Buck is calling the game

I'll tie this right into our picks for the weekend. It makes me have to take the over in the Cowboys Patriots game... Joe Buck is I'm pretty sure is going to be announcing it... you always bet the over when Buck's calling.

The Bills -4 against the Broncos is a thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week

This one's going to be my thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week. So this is a big fucking fire. It's the Buffalo fucking bills -4 at home against the Broncos.

The Packers are frauds and their defense is a fraud

I convinced myself the Packers are frauds every single week until they win the Super Bowl and then I cry in a puddle... I think their defense is a fraud.

The Jets +3 against the Raiders is the start of a run to the playoffs

My Underdog is the Jets... Jets plus 3 the run the table. Yeah, they're good. We're in the middle the early stages the table runner. Yes, but I think that they could handle the business at home.

The Seahawks +1 against the Eagles is the walkiest line of the year

I'll take the Seahawks plus 1. Russell Wilson is an underdog 23:7 and one against the spread in his career. It's this is the walkie east line of the year.

Antonio Brown will return to the Patriots following his apology to Robert Kraft

Did you see that every single Patriot basically liked it? And he used a semicolon, which means there's a chance that someone wrote it for him, which means that it was like, hey, post this apology. And maybe you'll come back... do you guys think it's a coincidence that after the Patriots' offensive performance on Sunday that this all of a sudden comes very early the next week?

Philip Rivers' career is over

Philip Rivers is done. D-O-N-E, done. D-E-A-D, dead. It's over. I said to myself, this is sad. And I think it might be over. Because there's something about it that feels different. The arm is just not there. And it just can't. It will never come back.

Philip Rivers' winning record in one-possession games is misleading because he turns them into two-possession games at the end

Philip Rivers actually has a winning record in one possession games. The only way I can think of to explain that is he's had so many fourth quarter drives where he has been trailing by one possession, where he's thrown a pick six or an interception that's led to an easy six points or three points on the other end, which makes the final score a two possession game.

Gronk will not return to the Patriots this season

My hot seat is anyone who actually thought Gronk was coming back to the Patriots. He did a little teaser similar to when he was on this show. It was like, I have a big announcement tomorrow. Turned out he's just doing a party in Miami... he's not coming back to the Patriots this year, which is sad.

Matt Nagy is a coward for benching Mitch Trubisky with a 'phantom' hip injury

Matt Nagy, you idiot. You're a coward. He throws Mitch Trubisky under the bus with a phantom hip injury with the last possession of the game, bringing in Chase Daniel. And it is a joke. He's in over his head. He's a clown.

Chase Daniel is the 'sparklessest' quarterback in the history of the NFL

It was a bitch move taking [Trubisky] out there and putting Chase Daniel in to get the world's saddest spark. They were like, I want a spark. Then put literally anyone except for Chase Daniel in. He's the sparklessest quarterback in the history of the NFL.

The Bears season is officially over

The Bears season's officially done. The thing is a joke. And Khalil Mack, whenever you want to show up, that's fine too. You don't bench a quarterback at that point, though.

Dak Prescott is silently getting himself into the MVP conversation

All I know is that Dak Prescott is very, very good and silently getting himself into the MVP conversation. He had 444 yards.

Jerry Jones will give Dak Prescott a $250 million contract

Jerry wants to say, like, with the Dallas Cowboys, we have the most expensive quarterback in the history of the NFL... he will do $250 million.

Jeff Driskel has earned himself five more years in the NFL as a backup

Jeff Driskel signed himself to five more years in the NFL. He has done enough as a backup quarterback... for the next five, six, seven years, people will say, Jeff Driskel, he's a pretty good backup quarterback.

If Matthew Stafford had played, the Lions would have beaten the Cowboys

If Matthew Stafford starts this game, the Lions probably win.

The Bills are a legit team

They beat seven NFL teams. They're legit. The Bills are legit. I looked at their schedule, too. We do this every week with the Bills... I think they're going to win three more games.

I am so excited to bet against Kirk Cousins in the playoffs

Kirk Cousins has been phenomenal this year, and I am so excited to bet against him in the playoffs.

Drew Lock will be the answer at quarterback in Denver

Drew Lock sounds like he might be the answer in Denver.

The Redskins should draft Tua Tagovailoa

The Redskins should draft Tua. If you draft Tua, you have now two shots at the franchise quarterback situation here because Dwayne Haskins is bad... It's a perfect storm. They could put Tua on ice for a year.

The 49ers are overrated and will have an ugly loss in the playoffs

I think they're overrated. I think they're going to have some troubles in the playoffs... They remind me very much of the Texans. Deshaun Watson last year where they have all the hype, first round of the playoffs, have an ugly loss. I see that happening with the 49ers.

Myles Garrett will be suspended for the rest of the season

Myles Garrett. You lost your mind. You're going to be suspended for the rest of the season... Myles Garrett probably got I would imagine he's gone for the rest of the year.

Mason Rudolph is a terrible quarterback and not the guy in Pittsburgh

I wanted to start the show by saying Mason Rudolph has a huge fucking face and is a terrible quarterback and is not the guy in Pittsburgh. And he's the classic quarterback where every time he drops back if you're a Steelers fan or you bet on the Steelers, you're like, oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck only bad things can happen.
