Takes

If the Chiefs lose this weekend, they are done as contenders

I think if the Chiefs lose, I'm taking the 'Dunn' chain out. I'm thinking about throwing it on the Chiefs... I'm done thinking the Chiefs are just going to flip the switch and become the Chiefs of two years ago.

The Patriots will win the Super Bowl if they beat the Browns convincingly

As I've said the whole season, last week was going to decide how I feel about the rest of the season. They won. I'm now in 'soupy' mode. So if they're going to go to the 'soupy', they've got to win this game [against the Browns] convincingly.

I think the Lions might beat the Bears on Thanksgiving

I still think they'll probably hand the lions their first loss of the season on thanksgiving day... you mean the lions are gonna beat the bears the lions are beat the bears yeah i was thinking about that when they were talking about the upcoming schedule for the bears and i feel like we're enough people are agreeing with that that we're starting to time the lions win again

Dabo Swinney will blame 'the culture of America' and 'this generation' for Clemson's struggles

Is he a system coach where if things don't go well, everything's going to continue to fall apart? Or how does Dabo respond from going through his shitty season?

Seahawks-Packers and Green Bay is going to be called, let's say, 27-18... 27-18, Seahawks.

Odell Beckham Jr. will sign with the Seahawks

I think he's going to be a Seahawk, based on the way that DK answered those questions earlier when he was like, no, we're not claiming off waivers. That tells me that he knows that they're going to sign him as a free agent.

The Patriots might win the Super Bowl this year

What if the Patriots get to the Super Bowl? ... This year, my brother is getting married the week after the Super Bowl in California, so I'm going to be out in California.

Michigan will win the college basketball national championship

I'm pretty sure Gonzaga's a favorite. Fucking Gonzaga. They're never going to win shit. [Big Cat: Who do you have winning all?] Michigan.

Kamaru Usman will go down as the GOAT if he stays on his current trajectory

I just think Usman, he's the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world right now. And I think he's going to probably end up going down as the GOAT, man, if he keeps on this trajectory. I mean, he's lapping these guys right now.

Sam Ehlinger will replace Carson Wentz as the Colts' starter

I'm all aboard the playoff training now. Okay. Mac Jones was airing it out. They kind of opened up the offense a little bit. It wasn't just dunking and dinking.

The Braves will not win the World Series without Charlie Morton

Charlie Morton breaking his leg, unbelievable performance fact that he kept pitching... It's going to be very tough for the Braves to win this world series without their number one. And that sucks. I do not think the Braves are gonna be able to survive without Charlie Morton.

The Detroit Lions will beat the Philadelphia Eagles outright

I agree with you, Hank. I think the lions are going to win outright... I'm strictly viewing this game as a matchup between Dan Campbell and Nick Sirianni. And I feel like, I feel like Dan Campbell just takes a shit all over Nick Sirianni's brain.

A human will eventually break the nine-second mark in the 100-meter dash

There is a greater than 50% chance Dan Snyder is forced to sell the Washington Football Team

I'd say once somebody with the power to get to the bottom of it gets involved [Congress], it gets north of 50... Once we know about some of the things that Beth Wilkinson, the investigator found, yeah, I think it becomes untenable at that point publicly for Snyder to continue.

There is a 94.9% chance Deshaun Watson is traded before the deadline

Percentage chance Deshaun Watson is traded in the next seven days, 10 days... 94.9% chance. Miami 75, Carolina 25... The chances of him being with the Texans next Tuesday after the trade deadline, very, very, very, very low.

The Cincinnati Bengals will be officially elevated to a good playoff team if they keep it close or beat the Baltimore Ravens

If the Bengals can keep this close or possibly win this game, they are officially elevated to a good team playoff team. Like, and I think they're right there. I think their defensive played very well.

Also the Bucks... what if the Bucks are maybe the biggest lock tonight? The rosters coming allly back. You saw that video with Giannis with the jump shot. This is like the greatest basketball player of all time.

The Bills will finish as the 1-seed in the AFC despite the Titans loss

The bills will be fine. They have, I think the second easiest or easiest schedule for the rest of the year. So they'll, I still think they'll probably end up with the one seed because they, I mean, even their next three games, the bills play the dolphins, the Jaguars, the jets.

The Red Sox are the best team in baseball and will win the World Series

It's just crazy that the red Sox are just going to win the world series again... They're not that good. They're not that good. Oh, but now they're just the best team in baseball. Yeah. They're like killing the Astros.

Alex Ovechkin will pass Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goal record

I think he's going to pass Wayne Gretzky. I do. Cause if the league hasn't figured out how to stop that shot after how many years he's been in there... He can continue to do that for five years, right?

The Blackhawks will return to the playoff picture this year

I thought they were the most improved team over the off season... Taves took the whole year off he's back. You got Seth Jones and then Fleury... I think the Hawks are back in the playoff picture.

I think we're officially on Joe Judge watch... things fall apart very quickly for Joe Judge types... he feels like the first to go.

I don't think that the Packers can be in [Super Bowl contenders] unfortunately... because Aaron Rodgers, he doesn't win championships.

Coach Ed Orgeron will return as a 'full-time interim coach' for hire

Next time any program needs an interim head coach, he should be interim for hire. He should be a full-time interim coach.

Florida QB Anthony Richardson is Cam Newton 2.0 and a 2022 Heisman candidate

Florida's quarterback that they put in second [Anthony Richardson] is Cam Newton 2.0, yes. He's on my big board for Heisman next year.

The Cowboys -3.5 at the Patriots is my favorite bet of the week

My favorite favorite is Cowboys, minus three and a half at the Patriots... I like the Cowboys in this one. Patriots are going to have a long Sunday. I've been looking at the rat lines for the last few weeks and just betting the square side of the rat lines. And it's been a pretty successful strategy for me so far.

The Browns will beat the Cardinals and hand them their first loss

My favorite favorite is the Browns, minus three... I also just think the Cardinals are due for – they've been flirting with it. They're due for a loss, and they're due for the Browns to run the ball down their throat. I do think the Browns are going to beat them. I think the Browns are going to man up on them.

The Bears will cover +4.5 against the Packers

I actually think the Bears might win, but Bears plus 4.5... I have a feeling their defense is playing well... By the end of the week, I'm like, we're going to fucking win this game. Jalen Johnson's going to lock down Davante Adams. If the Bears win this game, they are now officially a borderline playoff team.

The Raiders will bounce back with interim coach Rich Bisaccia

I am all in on this Rich Bisaccia guy... Crying about your men and your opportunities, that's football guy stuff. I think they're gonna bounce back here for a couple weeks and it's gonna be a few weeks before they fall back to earth but I think they're gonna get something out of this guy... the Raiders and interim Rich and I'm in. I'm all in.

Caleb Williams is like Oklahoma is so unfair that they have a backup who is better than their starter who's now going to be like the best quarterback in all of college football. And they're like, oh, yeah, let's just put this guy in.

Tyler Linderbaum is a first-round pick and the most compelling center to watch in football

Iowa is the first football team that I've ever watched where I can't take my eyes off the center. Tyler Linderbaum. I'm giving you that name right now... This dude, he's going to be first round pick. I would take him as high as it gets. I'm in love with watching... this dude just murders people. He destroys people.

Cincinnati will not make the College Football Playoff over a one-loss Power 5 team

The details are... it has to be Cincinnati will get into the college football playoff over a one-loss Power 5 team. So one loss. It can't be two losses. Two losses, it's void... I just know how the college football playoff works and the bias that happens.
