Takes

The Eagles will be the team that everyone wrote off who ends up winning the Super Bowl

I feel like the Eagles are one of those teams that, because they had a little hiccup there in the middle of the season, they're now getting healthier. I feel like the Eagles are gonna be the team that everyone has written off and they're the Super Bowl champs.

John Harbaugh or Lamar Jackson won't be with the Ravens next season

If I had to guess, it does not feel like next year both those guys [Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson] are gonna be there... there's just enough weirdness around the Ravens that it feels like they're gonna make a change.

The Cleveland Browns will cover the 10-point spread against the Buffalo Bills

I do like the bills, but I think the Browns might cover... I like the Browns at the very least in the first half of this game. I like 'em to cover 10 points.

The Giants will beat the Vikings because their stock is low and they are still playing hard

I think I like the Giants in this game. The Viking stock very high right now... The Giants very, very low stock right now. But they're, I don't think the Giants are one of the worst three teams in the NFL... they're playing hard and Kafka's coaching the team... I would take the Giants plus three.

The Lions will throttle the Steelers because Amon-Ra St. Brown has found his confidence again

I think [Amon-Ra St. Brown's] got it back. He's feeling it a little bit. He's getting, he's, he's just feeling like he's good again... gonna get fucking smoked in this game [Steelers]. I love Detroit in this game.

The Arizona Cardinals are guaranteed to move on from Kyler Murray

They want to be able to move on from Kyler Murray and they're gonna move on from him. They're probably gonna have to release him. And then the question becomes who wants him?

AJ Brown will likely be traded by the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason

I won't be surprised if AJ Brown is traded in the off season. I think we're at the point where it makes sense for both sides for him to move on. They can find another receiver, they can make their offense go without him.

The Bills will face the 49ers in the Super Bowl in our fictionalized 2025 season

Let's say, let's say Bills coming out of the AFC and... there's a very easy path for the 49ers... win the division to get the number one seed... pick the Bills and the 49ers. Let's go.

JMU has a legitimate chance to upset Oregon in the playoff due to extreme weather conditions

We have an atmospheric river coming here... you're going to get a sloppy game with potentially some James Madison fans there against an Oregon offense that's missing Corian Moore... Is it going to happen? Probably not. But it could.

Oregon can win the National Championship behind the maturity of quarterback Dante Moore

What do you need to make a great run in any playoff... you need a quarterback who's going to take control... he [Dante Moore] has absolutely just matured into a guy who's now completed almost 80% of his passes in the back half of the season.

The Steelers will win a playoff game this year

I think the Steelers, this is the year that they're going to win a playoff game. I've set it all year. ... If they can play the Chargers, if they can get that matchup, I feel like they could win that one.

I bet on the 49ers to win the Super Bowl at 21-1

Yesterday I put a future in on the 49ers to win the Super Bowl. 21 to one. ... If the Seahawks beat the Rams, then the Niners have a chance at it. ... They have a real chance to get the one seed. And I kind of like how Brock Purdy's been playing.

JMU isn't like Liberty; they will be competitive in the playoff

We're not fucking Liberty, dude. We have sex at James Madison University. It's encouraged, it's mandatory. ... If one of those teams keeps it competitive, they might not change the format too much.

Travis Kelce will likely retire after this season

If I'm Kansas City, first of all, we gotta figure out what's Travis Kelce gonna do and it, you know, I would guess that he's gonna retire, but I have zero inside information on that.

Jayden Daniels is the worst quarterback from the 2024 draft class

My preemptive take of the year was right. Commanders would miss a playoffs and Jayden Daniels be the worst out of all the quarterbacks in 2024. [Big Cat: 'Michael Penix?'] He looked pretty good before the injury.

The Arizona Cardinals should fire Jonathan Gannon and hire Josh McDaniels

In the Cardinals' wildest dreams... Probably fire Gannon. Figure out a way to trade Kyler Murray. Hire Josh McDaniels. He's gonna get another shot. Owners love a guy that's failed twice. Spectacularly failed twice.

Kyle Shanahan should win Coach of the Year if the 49ers secure the NFC's number one seed

If the Seahawks beat the Rams on Thursday Night Football and then the Niners win out and they get the one seed overall after everything the Niners have been through, I feel like Kyle Shanahan would be [Coach of the Year]. You could also make the argument that this is maybe Kyle Shanahan's best season as a coach.

Sam Darnold's performance in December is a major concern for the Seahawks

As a long time Sam Darnold defender, Sam Darnold apologist. I've started to develop some cracks the last couple weeks. ... We're in December and December is not a good thing [for him]. ... I would be worried if I was a Seahawks fan about the playoffs.

The Eagles will lead the Commanders 36-17 next week before the game gets interesting

The Eagles are gonna be up 36 to 17 [against the Commanders next Saturday]. I want the Commanders' sound off and then hopefully JMU gets off to like a seven-nothing lead before everything goes to shit.

The Saints should win the NFC South after Tyler Schuck's takeover

Tyler Schuck might be the real deal. ... Everything post-Shuck should count. They should win the NFC South. Shuck should be a playoff quarterback this year.

George Pickens will record two touchdowns and 140 receiving yards on Christmas Day

Christmas Day, George Pickens: two touchdowns, 140 yards [against the Commanders].

Kyle Pitts will eventually have 20 touchdowns in one season

I predicted that Kyle Pitts will have the greatest year of any tight end of ever in year 20 in the NFL. He'll have 20 touchdowns. That's a fact.

Kalen DeBoer would pick up the phone if Michigan called him for their head coaching vacancy

I do think Kalen DeBoer would pick up the phone. Obviously he's got his hands full right now with the playoffs.

I will stop cussing for the rest of the season if Philip Rivers beats the Seahawks

If Philip Rivers, if they win, I won't cuss for the rest of football season. Yeah. I'm gonna stop cussing. It would be that magical of a moment.

The Eagles season is dead

This team is dead... Nothing will save this team. The only good thing about this team is that Kevin Patullo will get fired. We'll hire a new offensive coordinator and make the Super Bowl next year. Because it's just a cycle for the Eagles right now.

I'm officially nervous about my pinky bet because the Texans look like they could win the Super Bowl

I'm officially nervous though because I thought you guys [the Texans] were cooked. I'm an idiot... and yeah, that's at stake right now. So you guys are my pinky team and it's very scary with the way you guys are playing football. I think they can absolutely win the Super Bowl... I'm fucked.

Alabama is capable of winning the National Championship this year

Can [Alabama] win a championship? I think yes, they can. Every team that's made the playoffs, they're deserving of it and they have an opportunity to win it. You just gotta go out and make the plays you need to make to win.

The Steelers will lose to the Dolphins on Monday Night Football.

Oh, they're playing the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. They're [Steelers] gonna lose. [PFT: They're Yeah. Probably gonna lose that game. Take Dolphins.]

Tyler Shough is the best quarterback in the 2025 draft class.

I'm an in on [Tyler] Shough. Best quarterback of the class.

I still think the Buccaneers will win the NFC South and make the playoffs.

I still think that the Bucks are going to win that division, make the playoffs, but they're fucking around... I think [Mike Evans] should be like a hundred percent healthy by the time he gets back. That's gonna be very big for the offense.

Lamar Jackson sucks and the Ravens would only get a fourth and fifth-round pick for him if they traded him right now.

Lamar [Jackson] sucks... [The Ravens would only get] like a fourth and a fifth [round pick if they traded him right now].

The Packers look like Super Bowl favorites

I think that the Packers looked like the team that would be maybe favored to win the Super Bowl the way they played today.

The Eagles will find a way to beat the Chargers on Monday Night Football.

I think they [Eagles] win. I think they, the bunny... they're gonna find a way tomorrow. They're gonna find a way... and the bunny bunny's good vibes. I feel like I gotta be good vibes for the bunny.

JMU will cover the +21.5 spread against Oregon

JMU's in the playoffs. We were playing against Oregon... I bet on JMU to cover at 21 and a half when the line came out. I think that there's a good chance that JMU can cover that.

Detroit got their mojo back and looked like the efficient team they were earlier in the season

I feel like Detroit kind of got their mojo back a little bit and like, 'Hey, we're not going out without a fight.' Detroit didn't make those mistakes. Detroit didn't turn the ball over.

The Bengals can make the playoffs if they beat the Bills

I know that I've made the joke that everyone says don't let the Bengals into the playoffs. We won't. There is a chance that Bengals can make the playoffs because if they can win this game [against the Bills], the rest of their schedule is easy.

I am 60% sure Jayden Daniels will not play against the Vikings.

I still don't know [if Jayden Daniels is playing]. ... I'm at like 60% that he's not gonna play. ... Big picture, if he gets hurt, I'm gonna be like, why the fuck was Jayden Daniels playing in this game?

Texas Tech can win the National Championship because of their defense

I am in the belief that Texas Tech can do it with that defense... Texas Tech is a 'yes' for me [to win a national title] because of that defense. They're going to be stretched where they haven't been stretched before.

The AFC playoffs will go through New England because the Patriots are the most solidified team in the conference.

I've been in the belief... that the home field [in the AFC] was gonna go through New England. I, I firmly believe that because of the schedule and seeing them in person Monday night. ... New England is more solidified and I would lean towards them getting home field.

The 2026 World Cup draw will be rigged in favor of the United States.

The World Cup draw is tomorrow. ... I think this is gonna be the most rigged draw ever for the United States. And I put together my, this is my pick for our group: USA, Iran, South Africa, New Zealand.

Ed Orgeron will return to LSU as part of Lane Kiffin's new coaching staff

I think there's a high chance that he [Kiffin] puts Coach O on his staff... Why wouldn't you want Coach O on the LSU staff? You want him back.

Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are likely to break up after this season

My Hot Seat is Mike Tomlin and the Steelers. Because I actually think that he might, this might be it... they don't change anything. And it's, I mean, TJ Watt said it. I think the bills ran the same play 27 times on Sunday. Yeah. That's insane. It feels like this is finally [the end].

The 'Blob' weather pattern could mean the end of the world

B-Big Cat, We are Earth could be finished. We could be done... There's a world, the blob never goes away... I do wanna say you're right. I was being dramatic there. Blob will go away, but it's sinking its toes right now.

Texas should not be in the College Football Playoff because they lost to Florida

I have a take and, and people will probably say this is wrong, but it's my take... Texas is out... That Florida lost. I know they have three very good wins... that's not a playoff team.

The Kansas City Chiefs are officially eliminated from playoff contention

The Kansas City Chiefs have been eliminated from playoff contention... I just don't think that they can run the table because that's gonna be it. It's hard. These aren't the same chiefs.

The New York Jets will acquire Lamar Jackson from the Ravens next season

I do go to bed and I just thinking who's the next quarterback will be next season. And right now we're on Lamar Jackson... Ravens don't make the playoffs. Raven's good organization. They've moved on from quarterbacks in the past... we got like three years of Lamar.

Texas A&M is going to slaughter Texas in their rivalry game.

I know that I said that I thought Texas A&M was gonna demolish Texas on Friday. I had a lot of people very upset with me for that... I'm getting bullied out of my 'A&M will Slaughter Texas' take.

Jeremiah Love should win the Heisman Trophy

Let me hear hear have your Alexa hear me say Jeremiah Love should win the Heisman and then get it in the algorithm.

I am suppressing the thought that the Bears are legitimate Super Bowl contenders if they beat the Eagles on Black Friday.

I'm keeping those [thoughts] suppressed because why not though? I, I think superstitious wise, I need to stay in that mode... why don't we just fucking beat the Eagles and go nine to three? Yeah. And like just start fucking ripping on.

The Ravens will win the Super Bowl as a Wild Card underdog

Yes, of course. They're winning the Super Bowl. It's faded to be, we're going as the fucking wild card... we're gonna fucking get revenge on everyone. This will be, this is how it's done.
