Takes

The Ravens removing their ping pong tables means they will beat the Bears

The Ravens removed their ping pong tables... Harbaugh said that the vets did it. I have a hard and fast rule when a team removes a ping pong table from, I mean, that, that means they're ready to win... I'm going into this game thinking the Ravens might kill the Bears.

The Texans defense will win them the game against the 49ers

I like the Texans in this game. Not, obviously not because of their offense... I'm more gonna bet the Texans because their defense is the best unit on the field. And the 49ers Mac Jones looked good, but this is a different defense. This is a top defense.

The Blue Jays have no shot at beating the Dodgers in the World Series

I think [the Blue Jays] got no shot... I just don't think they have the—the Dodgers are too good. They don't have the pitching. [Kevin] Gausman would be [the Dodgers'] fifth starter.

The Commanders money line over the Chiefs is a 'passing of the torch' game

Statement game, statement game, passing of the torch game. I put a bet on the Commanders money line in Arrowhead on Tuesday... plus 205. This is championship DNA. All right. This is what you have. These are the games you have to surprise people and win.

Wisconsin Football will be bad for at least the next five to seven years

I'm starting to think now they're gonna be bad for five to seven years minimum. And if they just keep going down this path, it's gonna be a decade. To the sunk cost fallacy of essentially saying, we made a mistake... let's throw more money at it.

I like Tennessee more than Georgia as a playoff threat

I probably like Tennessee more than I like Georgia, to be honest with you. [Big Cat: Their defense though, man.] Yeah, but that Georgia defense isn't—this Georgia team is not even close to those [previous] teams. The defense isn't as good.

The Denver Nuggets will win the NBA title this year

I'm picking the Denver Nuggets. There's no reason to pick against OKC... they're just going to be better... I just wanted—I picked him last year, I wanna do something a little different this year. So I'm picking the Denver Nuggets.

I would take Jaden Daniels over Drake May a million times out of a million.

The thought that I have is that a million times outta a million. I would take Jaden over Drake may a million times. ... I still completely believe in Jaden long term. I don't think that the RG three comparisons are accurate at all.

The Chiefs are definitely going to the Super Bowl and likely winning it again.

The Chiefs are so good. We said it a couple weeks ago. They're winning the Super Bowl, at least getting to the Super Bowl. I stand by that.

The Rams are officially Super Bowl contenders.

The Rams are for real, for real. They basically are in the, can we get everyone healthy for the playoffs? Can we be healthy when the playoffs come around? ... Matthew Stafford is still just as good as ever. ... Super Bowl contenders.

Justin Fields is finished as a starter in the NFL and plays like a 'scared puppy'.

Justin Fields got benched in this game. Feels like that's done right? Yeah, that's done. He's he's just a scared puppy out there.

The Browns will be a very good team in two years once they clear Deshaun Watson's contract.

I actually think that the Browns might be in a good position for the next, like two, two years from now. ... Deshaun Watson, I think has an $80 million cap hit that's about to kick in. ... I actually think two years from now, the Browns could be a very good team.

Joe Flacco will eventually play for the Steelers because Mike Tomlin respects him so much

I think one day [Joe Flacco] is gonna end up playing for the Steelers. Because Mike Tomlin absolutely hates Joe Flacco. He respects him and he hates playing against him.

The Bengals will finish the season 10-7

If they beat the Jets and the Bears... that would make 'em six and seven. Then they beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns to finish the season. By my math, that's 10 and seven.

The Dodgers are going to beat the fuck out of every other team in the playoffs

I think the Dodgers are gonna beat the fuck out of every other team and it's not even gonna be close.

The Bears vs. Saints game is a Must Win

The Bears are right now, what is it? Four and a half point favorites. This is a game that the Bears have to win. I'm dubbing it a Must Win because the Bears are, you'd think better than the Saints.

The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl

Raiders Chiefs, Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Chiefs are minus 11 and a half... Their offense is humming.

I'm starting to believe in the Falcons

I think I'm starting to believe in the Falcons. Are you ready to do that with me? I like 'em man. I like 'em.

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year. He's not making everyday throws now. He's pushing it down the field. He's getting outta trouble. He's got a soul about it, man.

The Mariners are a team of destiny

I do feel Team of Destiny Vibes from the Mariners. Now their destiny might be to just get waxed by the Dodgers in the World Series. But I do think that Seattle's gonna get there.

The Falcons are really legit

I think they [Falcons] might be really legit. They had two interceptions, four sacks, like they were all over the place. Held the Bills to two for nine from third down. I think they're really legit.

I still think the Commanders are going to make the playoffs at 3-3

I still think when all is said and done, 'cause it's a long season, we do have a very hard schedule from here on out. I still think that we're gonna make the playoffs at three and three. I think that that's definitely a possibility.

Indiana is going 12-0

America, be ready and maybe have a sit down and have a conversation with your children... about 12 and oh Indiana, because Indiana is so fucking good. Indiana is gonna go 12 and Oh get prepared.

Luke Fickell will be fired soon

I think Luke Fickell is fired by the way soon and maybe Macintosh the AD. Wisconsin's a dumpster fire, maybe worst program right now in Power four.

The World Cup draw will be rigged for the United States

If anyone could pull it off, Trump doesn't care about soccer. Oh he does. He he's, he took the ball from FIFA. He's been bragging to everybody about how he got the World Cup. Make that happen buddy. Iceland is the smallest country to qualify for the World cup.

Sherrone Moore wearing a blue-collar jacket is a cheap knockoff of Jim Harbaugh that won't work

He has his blue collar jacket on and he basically was like, Hey, I'm back to work. It worked for Jim Harbaugh because Jim Harbaugh had won... This feels like a cheap knockoff and it's not gonna work. He's appropriating working man culture.

The impending MLB lockout will be the defining story of baseball next year

This is going to be the defining story of baseball next year. So hopefully people understand that this is gonna be a big deal... owners essentially lock players out, say you cannot report to work. And then it just becomes a staring contest.

CJ Carr will be a top-five draft pick

CJ Carr's a stud. I think that this dude's gonna be a top five pick in the next couple years. So if you do take away the run now you gotta deal with the pass. That's something they didn't have to do last week.

Virginia will make the College Football Playoff

Virginia guys is like Brady, Quinn. Like, they, they might make the college football playoff dude. Their schedule's awesome. They'll be 11 and one. And if they lose to Miami in ACC like 11 or 10 and two, whatever it is, they might be, that's the one team dude I think that's the one team that no one is talking about.

LeBron James will not retire until the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

I was talking to [Mark] Titus about it... he was saying that he doesn't think LeBron's gonna retire till 2028 when the Olympics are in LA. That's so much more LeBron. ... He will, that will be the last basketball. He plays the Olympics in 2028.

The Phillies' current competitive run is nearing the end

This, it's, it, it is nearing the end of our run. Like Zach Wheeler, who knows what he's gonna be when he comes back... Schwarber is probably gone. Ranger Suarez is probably gone.

The Guardians have team of destiny vibes this postseason

Tigers got in a little bit of trouble there in the ninth with Javi Baez having an error. Looked like the Guardians, like the Guardians, at least the way they finished the season, have some team of destiny type of vibes.

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.

The top of the Big 10 is currently better than any team in the SEC

I think there's three teams in the Big 10 better than any team in the SEC right now. I think it's Penn State, Oregon, Ohio State. And I think the SEC as far as the top end elite Playoff contenders is down a step from where it was.

Oklahoma being ranked #5 in the AP Poll is poppycock

Oklahoma, technically right now, they have a win over Auburn. They have a win over Michigan. I don't think either of those teams are any good. Oklahoma's number five in the country. I think that's poppycock. I think they should be like number 12.

Texas Tech is easily the best team in the Big 12 right now

I think they're clearly the best team in the Big 12... I think Texas Tech outclass them, everybody in that conference by a mile.

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.

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.

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 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].

The Mets are spineless pussies who couldn't get it done

The Mets are just a bunch of spineless pussies and they just couldn't get it done. Pete Alonso was out the door before the game ended. They're gonna get their teeth kicked in by the Dodgers.

The Patriots are a lock to beat the Panthers in a 'must-win' game

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].

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.
