Takes

Tyler Shuck should win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

He should win Rookie of the Year. Right now he's second in odds on DK... if Tyler Shuck ends the year on this winning streak, it has to be Tyler Shuck. If he ends the year six and three as a starter, insane.

Road teams have a significant advantage in NFL games played on Christmas Day

Remember last year Christmas, the lesson that we learned... you fade the home team because they're doing all the family stuff, eating big meals on Christmas Eve. The road team has the advantage on Christmas Day.

Connor McDavid will leave the Oilers within three seasons

He's Gonzo win or lose. We have three seasons left with Connor McDavid. That's my opinion... after three years, so three more playoffs. I think that would've been 13 years for McDavid... if he does leave in three years, win or lose, they're idiots [if they dislike him].

The Colorado Avalanche are the absolute 'wagon' of the NHL

Colorado is the wagon guys. Colorado's the one that you're scared of... I can't help but see them running through the entire league and then winning the Stanley Cup with ease. Right now they are on pace to break the Bruins record for most points.

The Anaheim Ducks will win a Stanley Cup within the next eight years

I'll guarantee a Ryan Whitney guarantee. Ooh, Anaheim wins a Stanley Cup in the next eight years. Anaheim's gonna get a cup... they have a wagon of like young stars coming.

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.

The Ravens will trade Lamar Jackson to the Jets this offseason

I spoke it into existence... Good organization, they think their guy's over the hump might have injuries. Send him to a bad organization who's needy, haven't made the playoffs in 15 years, has a lot of draft capital. Oh my God, that'd be so sick.

Indiana is a wagon in college football

I still like Indiana. I might even like them with the points. Indiana is a fucking wagon in Alabama's issues this year.

Matthew Stafford is likely to win the NFL MVP award

I think Matt Stafford probably gonna win [MVP]. He's minus 300 right now in DraftKings to win the MVP.

Zach Taylor will likely remain the Bengals head coach next season

I feel like even for the Bengals, I would say that they're probably gonna let [Zach Taylor] coach it out. I think it does make a big difference for them. I think he'll probably stick around for next year.

The Arizona Cardinals should fire Jonathan Gannon and hire Josh McDaniels

In the Cardinal's wildest dreams... Probably fire Gannon. Figure out a way to trade Kyler Murray. ... Hire Josh McDaniels. He's gonna get another shot.

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.

Bo Nix and the Broncos are the best team in football when Nix is playing well

I think they're the best team in football with Good Bo. Yeah. With the way Bo Nicks is playing right now. ... If this Bo Nicks shows up in the playoffs, then everybody's in trouble.

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.

The 49ers are sneaking up on people as a potential number one seed

The 49ers are better than Titans. ... People aren't talking about the 49ers, but the 49ers... if the 49ers win out, they will be the one seed. ... They definitely are sneaking up on people.

John Cena will return to WWE within the 2026 calendar year

I would say within a calendar year [of now]. ... Next calendar year, [John Cena] will be back. If it was his final match, he would not have lost.

Fernando Mendoza is a legitimate NFL quarterback prospect

I'm buying stock in Fernando Mendoza as a pro. ... I think he's got it. The way he nerds out about football... reading defenses. We're gonna lose Philip Rivers, but we're gonna gain a Mendoza.

Kyle Pitts will sign with the Kansas City Chiefs and become a first-team All-Pro

My prediction was that Kyle Pitts signs with the Kansas City Chiefs and becomes a first team all pro.

Mike Vrabel should be Coach of the Year

I'm super impressed with the Patriots this year. I think that the Patriots, Mike Vrabel is a great coach. He should be coach of the year.

The Rams are a top Super Bowl contender because their QB/WR connection is 'stupid'

Teams that I truly believe can win at number one Rams... there's no quarterback wide receiver group right now that sees it the same way consistently. The throws and the catches are stupid right now.

The Chiefs are more 'dead' for the future than the Cowboys

I think it's the Chiefs. I think it's the Chiefs for the now and for like the immediate future... They're $32 million over the cap for next year. How do you rebuild the offensive line... The defense has fallen off the face of the earth... I just think like this is a, a little bit, I don't know if it's just a snap my fingers and all of a sudden we're back... where it's like, if you're Dallas offensive line's really good and cheap, the the receivers are ridiculous.

The Chargers have a stranglehold on a playoff spot over the Chiefs

The Chargers winning means that if they just win one single game, which would be week 18 against the Broncos... they would get in over the Chiefs. The Chiefs have a path now that is very, very precarious and the Chargers feel like they have a stranglehold on getting into the playoffs.

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.

JMU making the CFP will force a rule change to ensure it never happens again

JMU getting into this playoff, they will rewrite the rules for the playoffs. So this never happens again. And you'll be fine... But they're very upset that the ACC did not advocate strongly for Notre Dame.

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.

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.

Joe Burrow has started eight games in the last year and is 8-0 as a starter

In the last 12 months, Joe Burrow has started... He is eight and oh as a starter in the last calendar year. Since this date, December 2nd, the last 367 days.

Sam Darnold is 10-0 straight up in his career as a favorite of six points or more

The current Seahawks defense is playing better than the Legion of Boom did in any seven-game stretch

The Seahawks defense in terms of... a seven-game stretch, they have actually played better in a seven-game stretch this year than the best seven-game stretch of the Legion of Boom.

Week 14 is an elimination game for the Chiefs

The Chiefs season kind of comes down to three-game schedule at home... If they lose this game [against the Texans], I think it's gonna be very hard for them to make the playoffs. This is an elimination game pretty much for the Chiefs today.

JJ McCarthy is a sit in fantasy because he can't throw for 300 yards

Sit [JJ] McCarthy for not being able to throw the 300 yard. He can't throw 300. We're gonna sit Hank also because he can't throw for 300 yards like Drake May.

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 College Football Playoff will eventually expand to 16 teams

We knew it was gonna be chaotic and weird for the first couple of years of this. I think it eventually will get to 16 and then people will stop bitching as much because you're getting closer and closer to where the natural rankings are.

Lane Kiffin will leave LSU for an NFL job in four years

He's gonna leave for the Dolphins job or the Bills job. He's gonna leave an NFL job in four years... he's proven he could do it in the SEC... but he's just a guy doing a job.

I could still hit 4 home runs in a full MLB season today

Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do too... maybe I do have a chance. I would just need a couple ambulances. 'Cause after the games, I'm gonna have to like going to take care of my body.

I will be very disappointed if the Bears don't make the playoffs at 8-3

Miles Garrett should be the NFL MVP if he breaks the all-time sack record

Miles Garrett should be the MVP if he breaks the all-time sacks record, which it looks like he's on pace to break/smash/shatter... If Miles Garrett does all this on the Browns, that's equivalent to Lawrence Taylor doing it on crack.

Matthew Stafford is the NFL MVP right now

Matthew Stafford's the MVP of the league right now. What is the current odds on DraftKings? ... [He] makes football look easy.

Lane Kiffin will leave Ole Miss to coach LSU

I feel like it's gotten the point where you, if I had to guess I would say LSU. [Lane Kiffin] is probably gonna leave. I'm changing my, I know I said like two weeks ago I didn't think he was gonna leave.

The Pirates leaking interest in Kyle Schwarber is just 'red meat' to appease the fans with no intent to sign him

I feel like the Pirates' version of them actually signing a big free agent would be just leaking it that they're thinking about signing. Correct. That was... their red meat to the fan base. Be like, look, we tried.

Drake May will throw for over 300 yards for the first time this weekend against the Bengals

This is my prop of a lifetime this weekend. It's Drake May to throw 300 yards for the first time plus 264. I put it in before the show started. I feel like this is the week... the Bengals defense, you can't help but throw 300 yards against them.

I bet the Cowboys to cover +3 against the Eagles

I'm gonna take the Cowboys plus three... I think the Cowboys are gonna cover the spread. The Eagles can win the game.

The Bears are still a year away from being real contenders

I'm a little more realistic because I look at the schedule and see, you know, that they really have what—they played one team with a winning record and lost to 'em. I'm a little apprehensive... I just don't think this is their year. I think they're a year away.

The Jaguars will make the playoffs because their remaining schedule is extremely easy

Jacksonville [will make the playoffs]. Look at their, look at their schedule. It's a joke... if they beat the Cardinals this week, then they got the Titans and then the Colts at home and they never lose to him and the Jets at home, they should win three or four of those games.

James Franklin is leaving Penn State to become the head coach at Virginia Tech

James Franklin is using the Penn State private jet to move to Blacksburg... I am so pumped that of course. That's the other reason why a jet would go there... I do think that [James Franklin] is gonna be the next coach... somewhere else next year.

The CFP committee is intentionally keeping JMU out in favor of the American conference winner

I think that what is happening right now is they had their heart set on the American on that conference. Whoever wins that conference is going to get just pigeonholed in. Doesn't matter what else happens. ... JMU should be in it, but it seems pretty clear that they just want to put whoever wins the American as the group of five rep.

Georgia is in the best possible position because they can get a playoff bye without playing the SEC championship game

The winner number one is Georgia, because Georgia obviously beats Texas. They get to four. Georgia's in that perfect spot where they could potentially not go to the SEC championship game and have a buy. Which that's gotta be the greatest spot you could ever be in.

Drake Maye will have 304 passing yards against the Bengals this Sunday
