Takes

Pick up Geno Smith and Hunter Henry in fantasy football this week

I'm so sorry. I told everybody to pick up Jaden Daniels. String Gino Smith. He's gonna have a good game. Pick up Hunter Henry... Pick up Matt Prater. Lions defense. Everybody pick him up.

Europe will win the Ryder Cup and a visiting team win would be good for the tournament

I think Europe's gonna win... I actually think it's kind of important for the Europeans to win this thing. I think putting the, the pressure kind of on the Americans in a couple years... I think actually the the visiting team winning one of these things that hadn't happened since 2012 would actually be good for Ryder Cups.

Betting on Europe at +170 is a 'hammer' bet

I think the fact that you're getting plus money on Europe is wild. I would, I would, I would hammer Europe right now. I think, I think it, I think it's potential for blowout on the European side.

Wisconsin football is in a dark place and may not win another game this year

We're in a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. Like dark, dark times... I don't know if they're gonna win another game this year.

Miami is a legitimate national championship contender

Miami is a legitimately good team... if you look at their schedule, Miami is going to be in the national championship consideration.

The Chargers are entering the conversation as a top-tier AFC team

This year does feel like the year that the Chargers enter, like, okay, are we now adding another top tier team to the AFC... it's the year that the Chargers now enter that conversation.

The Rams' knuckleball kickoff strategy will soon be copied by the entire NFL

Joshua Karty, their kicker, the Rams kicker, he actually did an interview a couple weeks ago where he's admitted that he has perfected the knuckleball. So he is using a knuckleball kick... I think that this will end up happening a lot more because he's figured it out and it's a copycat league. I think more guys are gonna figure it out.

Bo Nix is the best quarterback playing in the Week 4 Monday Night double-header

There's four quarterbacks playing. Bo Nix is the best quarterback by a large margin in the four teams that are playing... It is Jake Browning, it is Tyrod Taylor, it is Tua, and Bo Nix. Wow. Yeah. Someone's gotta play well out of that.

Mason Graham is currently the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

Mason Graham is probably the defensive rookie of the year right now, I would say... he's got a 43% pass rush win rate against the Packers... for a defensive tackle, it's crazy.

Marcus Mariota might be the best quarterback on the Washington Commanders roster

I just said, I was just like, what if Marcus Mariota is the best quarterback on the Washington Commanders roster.

CJ Stroud is secretly injured and that is why he is playing poorly

Is CJ Stroud hurt? Ooh, I don't know... remember he was having shoulder problems. And they said he's not having surgery, which is not what you want to hear unprompted going into a season... surgery just gets mentioned... he's been bad. Hard. He's been bad. Yeah. And I, I have no idea if he's hurt or not, but it seems like there's something that's fucked up about it.

Brian Thomas Jr. will finish the season with 900 yards and six touchdowns

I'll predict 900 yards, six touchdowns for Brian Thomas Jr... That feels right to me.

Marvin Harrison Jr. currently has the yips

Marvin Harrison Jr. might suck dude... I'm not scared to say it. Apparently you are, but yeah. He has the yips. You said it earlier, can receivers... he has the yips. Both him and Brian Thomas.

Russell Wilson's NFL career is officially over

Is Russell Wilson done? Should be. Should be... it's just gotta end. Gotta go. This, this was too much... just be done with Russ. We've seen this too much. It's over... the question is, is it this week against the Chargers? You have to go to Los Angeles? No, that's at home. Sorry. At home against the Chargers.

The Texans are officially my Pinky Team and I don't think they can win the Super Bowl

The Texans are officially be my Pinky team... I will cut the tip of my pinky off of the Texans win the Super Bowl. That's a, that's a fair. And I don't even think, yeah. I hate the pinky bet. Yeah. I don't understand. I don't understand thrilling.

I will get a Taylor Swift lyric tattooed on my body if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, I will get a Taylor Swift lyric tattooed on my body... in a place that can be seen. I get to pick the lyric, but I will have it on my body.

This will be the final season of the Tush Push as the NFL prepares to ban it

And now we're getting everything that we need, all the ammunition necessary for at the end of the season for it to be banned. It's gonna be, this is the last season of the push. It's banned.

I am a better rock skipper than both Big Cat and PFT Commenter

I think I'm better than PFT... I didn't say guaranteed, but I think I am [better than both]. I don't know. I just think I'm, I think I'm a good, I'm, I have a lot of experience skipping rocks.

Billy Napier's firing at Florida is inevitable and could happen soon

It feels inevitable that that he'll get fired. But the problem guys is it felt inevitable last year... I don't see a way out of this for Billy because they're gonna lose. You would think most of these games against the good teams.

Arch Manning stinks right now and is a fundamentally different quarterback than we expected

I don't know what the hell this is. It looks like he's throwing from a different arm slot... I thought maybe he could be average at worst. I don't know what the hell this is... it does feel like it's mental. It feels like the yips almost.

A 10-2 Notre Dame team will definitely make the College Football Playoff

I know that a 10 and two Notre Dame team will be in the college football playoff because that's just how it works... If they go 10 and two, they will be in the college football playoff.

Miami is a complete team and a great value at 16-to-1 to win the National Championship

I would put them [Miami] above LSU in Texas. 'Cause it's easier for them to make the playoffs... they fixed the defense. The defense stunk last year... they're a much more complete team.

The Edmonton Oilers are choke artists and will never win a Stanley Cup

He [McDavid] ain't winning a cup in, in Edmonton. No. Oh. Not at all. They fucking, they're choke artists. They might, they might as well might as well be Maple Leafs. It ain't, it ain't gonna fucking happen.

I'm eventually going to lose the tip of my pinky on a bet

I'm probably gonna lose a pinky. Eventually. I'm gonna lose a pinky. We're gonna do this show for the next 40 years. I'm gonna do this bet every year for some year. I'm gonna lose the pinky.

Aaron Rodgers might be washed

I think they can just give it a little time 'cause I think Aaron Rodgers might not be good anymore. Under pressure, he was a disaster... He might be over.

Mike McDaniel will be fired if the Dolphins start 0-5

I'll make the prediction. If the Dolphins start 0-5, he will be fired. 'cause they play the Bills. They're gonna lose the Bills in Buffalo. Thursday Night Football. Then they play the Jets on Monday Night Football, then they play the Panthers. If they lose to the Jets and the Panthers, if they don't get one win there, he's done.

The Chiefs' Mahomes and Andy Reid dynasty is finished

I just think the dynasty's over. I think Andy Reid and Mahomes dynasty's finished... usually when they pan the camera to Andy Reid, he's got a certain amount of girth... but this time it almost looks a little hollow. It looks a little empty.

The Commanders will win 10 games but are not good enough to beat elite teams

I think we're like an above average team right now. I think we're like a 10 win team. But that's like our, our, we're not gonna beat the good teams, the very good teams. It was just, it was ugly.

Bobby Wagner is reaching the end of his career

I would be nervous a little bit about the defense because it felt like Bobby Wagner might be getting to the end of it because Tucker Craft was just eating you guys alive in the middle of the field.

The Patriots will be better than the Commanders this season

I'm not giving up on the Patriots. It's, it's a long season. They could definitely be better than the Commanders.

Jaxson Dart will get his first start for the Giants against the Chargers

My prediction was that Dart gets in against the Chargers. That would be his first start I think. I don't know if it's gonna be a clean benching for Russell Wilson. I think they might do the Dart packages and they might like slowly incorporate Dart into the games.

Mike Vrabel will dominate Mike McDaniel because McDaniel is a dork

The minute a fat guy walks in and says, that's a dork. It sticks in my head. And now in my head it's Mike Vrabel versus Dork. I'm gonna take Mike Vrabel. It just feels like Mike Vrabel versus dork is a mismatch.

Super Bowl 2027 in LA will be Detroit vs. Buffalo

Who's your prediction for Super Bowl 2027 in la? Oh, you have the script, right? Yeah, I have the script. It'll be Detroit Against Buffalo.

The Steelers can win a playoff game this year

And Aaron Rodgers, to his credit... he looked better than any Steelers quarterback that I can remember since Big Ben could move. This is what I was talking about when I said that I think the Steelers can win a playoff game this year.

The Jets are a top 7 AFC playoff team

I'd say we're a top seven... A playoff team. After week one.

Jackson Dart will be starting for the Giants by Week 3

I don't understand why if your offensive line is bad, you would put a smaller quarterback who doesn't have the mobility he once had behind it... What week is Jackson Dart starting for the Giants? Three? Yeah, I would say three.

The Dolphins could be the worst team in the NFL this year

The Dolphins have maybe the chance of being the worst team in the NFL and they're definitely the worst vibes in the NFL because holy shit did they get absolutely smashed by the Colts.

Matthew Stafford will be 6th all-time in passing yards by the end of the year

Matthew Stafford also reached 60,000 yards. He's now 10th all time in yards... If he has 3,600 yards this year, he's gonna end end the season sixth all time.

The Packers are going to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are a problem. They're very, very good. But again, I can't, I'm not surprised because I told you they're, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. It's almost guaranteed.

If the Commanders beat the Packers, I am expecting a Super Bowl

If we beat the Packers, anything less than a Super Bowl championship this year will be a, a massive crushing disappointment to me. If we win against the Packers, I'm thinking soupy, soupy.

Jake Moody should be cut by the 49ers next week

Jake Moody has been a problem for the Niners... 12 of 23 is insane. He's gotta be cut this week... I'd be shocked if he was on the team next week.

I am officially back in on Kyle Pitts this season

I'm officially back in on Kyle Pitts. Oh no. I'm officially back in. Hear me out... [Kirk Cousins] is a different quarterback than has been throwing the ball to Kyle Pitts over the last two years. He might be smart enough to realize that Kyle Pitts is really theoretically good at football.

The Steelers will win a playoff game this year

I think the Steelers are gonna win a playoff game this year. One, I think they're gonna win one playoff game this year.

The Giants will be a 'Muck It Up' team that stays in games but doesn't win many

I have the Giants circled as my Muck It Up team that's not gonna win a lot of games, but will be in a lot of games... I think the Giants will keep a lot of games. I think the Giants are the team that you'll look up in the second half of most games and be like, why is that? It's 13-10.

The Packers are the best team in the NFL by far and will win the Super Bowl

I'm gonna take the Packers in this game. The Packers are the best team in the NFL. I don't even think it's close. Not close. They're gonna win the Super Bowl... If the Packers somehow don't win the Super Bowl, which it's would be pretty crazy. If they don't, I will be first in line saying I was wrong.

The Super Bowl will be Detroit vs. Buffalo

I'm going Detroit and, and Buffalo. That'd be great. Right. It's between both these teams you like, you like the stories, you like Dan Campbell... Buffalo's kind of been my AFC team for a while. Love Josh Allen.

The Giants defense will be ferocious and cause problems for the league

Their defense is, is set up to be very good, especially kind of in a pass happy league they can get to quarterback... they can get sack fumbles, they can get, you know, get to the quarterback and really, you know, cause some problems.

The Chargers might take a step back and regress this year

I'm not sure about the Chargers. You know, I think Pete Carroll coming to the Raiders and... I think they could surprise some people and make that division a lot more interesting. So I think maybe a team from that division [Chargers] might take a step back.

I will beat Hank in an 18-hole match play golf game for $5,000

I am now very excited about beating you [Hank] at golf and taking the thing that you love the most in this whole world away from you.

The Patriots' best-case scenario is 12 wins and an AFC Championship appearance

Best case, 12 wins, win the division. [Make] the AFC Championship. I don't want to get crazy.
