Takes

Travis Kelce to score a touchdown is the Super Wild Card prop of the year

Travis Kelce scored touchdowns plus money now. And the dolphins are not great guarding the tight end. And I do think that like when you get to the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes will be like, who can I trust? Travis Kelce's the guy I can trust.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will beat the Buffalo Bills outright

I like the Steelers moneyline... You hate all our friends. You hate our futures. It's gotta be a dog that wins.

Connor Stallions has been working for the Baltimore Ravens since resigning from Michigan

Do you think that there's any chance at all that Connor Stallions has been working for the Ravens since he resigned from Michigan? I think it's not a 0% chance... I'm just gonna float it out there with absolutely no backing behind it. Besides the fact that McDonald's used to coach at Michigan. And Connor Stallions is a hardball guy for life.

He [Baker Mayfield] should win Comeback Player of the Year. Joe Flacco. I no disrespect to DeMar Hamlin, but why is he winning? He should not win Comeback Player of the Year.

The NFC will win the Super Bowl

NFC will win the Super Bowl. ... Should just take the Niners to win the super Bowl even though it's a terrible lineup.

The Vikings will beat the Bengals because Brian Flores' defense will confuse Jake Browning

I kind of like the Vikings in this game. And I like him because Brian Flores... is doing stuff that people can't even figure out with his defense zone. Blitzes just... he's doing a lot of multiples... I think that this is gonna be Jake Browning's first test. True test because the Colts and the Jaguars aren't great defenses. The Vikings have been playing like a great defense.

You must bet the Steelers to bounce back against the Colts after losing to the league's worst teams

The report that the Patriots have decided to fire Bill Belichick is 'fake news'

As a Patriots fan on this podcast, I'm just gonna say that that seems like fake news to me. Seems like a fake news media report from Tom Curran. You know, the media's been out to get us since 2000... Belichick didn't do anything wrong... there's no chance. 0% chance. I don't think Belichick would leave.

Josh Dobbs is the ultimate 'fix-it' quarterback for struggling NFL teams.

The Miami Dolphins are officially off the NFL 'Fraud List'.

I think I'm ready to take Miami off the fraud list. They won't do it this week, but I'm gearing up for them to be off the fraud list because I'm thinking that their defense is gonna start playing really well... I'm ready to push the button and say no longer fraud.

Sam Howell is officially an elite NFL quarterback.

I might've just jumped past the whole Is he the guy conversation? I'm ready to ask if he's elite. Because there's as many insult graphics have been going around. There's a lot of complimentary graphics going around about Sam Howell. He's first in big time throws.

Israel Abanikanda is set to take over the Jets' backfield.

Izzy season? Izzy, the running back. They released Michael Carter and they're giving Izzy a shot. The bills can't stop the run... I'm gonna have to bet on him to score fucking a Memes.

You must bet on the Dolphins in the Germany game because of the Chiefs' late travel

I would love to bet the Chiefs, but the travel is so far in my head and we've seen it... the Chiefs are getting into Germany. Like right now they're practicing one time. They're practicing on Friday.

I think Heineke is gonna take this job. So if Heineke plays well then Arthur Smith will be like, well you know, we gotta ride. We gotta ride the hot hand for a little bit and then we'll go back to Ritter once Heineke starts stinking. But no, I think Heineke is gonna take this job.

Bill Belichick to the Commanders is a real possibility

Josh Harris wants a big splash. He wants a big name Coach Belichick probably at the end of his tenure in New England. Why not get him to dc? He can coach lacrosse at the Naval Academy. Annapolis is like 30 minutes from FedEx Field... I think these conversations are happening.

The Los Angeles Rams actually stink and were overrated due to a lucky Week 1 win

I have a theory that I would like to throw out there. The Rams stink... Every year there's like one or two teams that have a great week one and it sticks in our head for a while. Maybe too long. The Rams beat the Seahawks week one... Since then... their two wins after the Seahawks week one win was against the colts in overtime... and the Cardinals.

You have to bet on the Packers against the Vikings because Minnesota is coming off a high

The Vikings just beat the Niners on Monday Night Football in front of the world. They're going to play at Lambeau against a very stinky Packers team. You have to bet the Packers.

Are you gonna bid on Money Line? Yes. Have to.

Arthur Smith is a sneaky genius for limiting Bijan Robinson's touches to keep him fresh

Could Arthur Smith be a sneaky genius? Could he be saying we just spent a lot of money on this first round pick running back. Don't put too many miles on him early in the season. Bijan is gonna look that much faster late in the year.

Mac Jones will not make it through the Bills game without being benched

I'm also fully back on Julio Jones... He's Prime Julio Jones... He said he is gonna dominate and if he says he's gonna dominate, then [I'm in].

Devin Witherspoon will put the 'absolute clamps' on Ja'Marr Chase

I dreamt that [Devin] Witherspoon was going to put the absolute clamps on Ja'Marr Chase in the game. I dreamt a post-game press conference with Ja'Marr Chase being frustrated with him asking him if he was always open this game. I had the entire thing. So I'm betting the under on his receiving yards this week.

I am officially back in on Justin Fields as the guy for the Bears

The Bears might be back if they win this game. And I am all the way back into Justin Fields. I liken it to a relationship where, listen, Justin Fields threw some interceptions, I said some things... but at the end of the day, don't go to bed angry. So I'm no longer going to bed angry. He's the guy again.

The Eagles will beat the Commanders by 25 points

Congrats Max. I'm just going to give it to you. 25 point win for the Eagles this week. The defensive line is going to eat. I blame 40% on the offensive line, 40% on Sam Howell, and then 20% on Tony P in DC.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are not actually dating

I think that Travis Kelce is not actually dating Taylor Swift. I think that this is, listen, we've been in the podcast game for a long time. We know it does numbers. Jason Kelce's a very smart guy. I think him going on the air and saying the rumors are a hundred percent true... You don't say a hundred percent if your brother's dating Taylor Swift.

The Bears vs. Bucs game is the biggest in Bears franchise history

I was premature. The Bears going to Tampa Bay is the biggest game in Bears franchise history. I'll just say that right now. I was a week early on my prediction of biggest game in Bears franchise history. This is a must win.

The Commanders defensive line is better than the Eagles defensive line

The commanders, I think, have a better defensive line than even the Philadelphia Eagles do. Rivera's gonna be on the war path and it's gonna be nice and I think the commanders in that defensive line, which is the best in the NFL across, across all divisions.

The Cardinals defense is sneaky good and they are coached to be a dirty team

I still think that their defense is gonna be pretty good. No, I'm saying that because if you watch the X videos and the Twitter chrome on it Max that defense was headhunting. They, they, they were coached that way. I'm telling you, watch the Cardinals this week. Tell me that they don't take like sneaky violent shots. They're, they're a dirty team.

Anthony Richardson is a 'follower' because he copied Will Levis hitting the ceiling at his pro day

Anthony Richardson did it and said that he hit the roof on purpose because Will Levis did it. This is my red flag. I want my quarterback to be a leader, not a follower. Like he was copying someone else. He was like following the lead.

There will be no 'doinks' (hitting the uprights) on any field goal or extra point attempt in the Super Bowl

I'm taking no doinks. The field goal on an R and extra point. If there's a doink, it pays out What? Hank plus 410, 420... I'm no doinks so I'm loading up and I think it's minus 540 on the Barstool Sportsbook.

Total players to attempt a pass in the Super Bowl will be over 2.5

Kadarius Toney will score a touchdown against the Bengals

I think Kadarius Toney's gonna score in this game. Reid's gonna break out some weird trick play that we haven't seen before... it's gonna be like, 'Kadarius Toney, the reason why we brought you here is you're a difference maker. Go do it.'

The Bills will blow out the Dolphins and cover a 13-point spread

I would take the Bills even if they were like minus 17 at this point. ... It's gonna be an ass kicking. It's gonna be a whomping. The bills are gonna go up and down the field. Skylar Thompson. I just, yeah, that's all you gotta say.
