Takes

Alabama will not win the National Championship because they are too one-dimensional

Ba—Bama fans already hate me... Bama's not winning that game [against Ohio State]. The thing with Bama, I love what Alabama does throwing the football. They are not good enough elsewhere. So they're going to run into a matchup that is not favorable for them and they will lose.

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is a 'war daddy' who is going to win a national championship

Dan Lanning is a war daddy... he's gonna win a national championship. I know that same [logic], you could say like, Hey, their toughest opponent they lost to Indiana... but I'm just, Dan Lanning is dude that, that guy is a war daddy. He's gonna win a national championship.

The Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade will be seen as a win-win in ten years.

Rob Pelinka texted Nico Harrison and said something like, man, I I I would do it again because I I really think we both won... It was a good trade. In 10 years they will be singing your praises.

Now is the time to buy stock in the 49ers looking at their upcoming schedule.

If you were trying to buy stock in something, there might be a spot where you could buy some stock in the Niners. 'cause they might, there's a chance the Niners could rip off some wins here in the next few games.

I am betting everything on Notre Dame because of Pat Narduzzi's weird press conference comments.

The New England Patriots are going to win the AFC East... I believe that. [The Bills] are not gonna win the division.

The Commanders will finish with a top-five pick in the NFL draft

The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South if they beat the Colts twice

The Jaguars actually control their own destiny. If they could somehow beat the Colts twice, they will win the a FC South. I don't, I don't, I don't think the Jaguars are better than the cults. I just want that on the record. No, I'm just saying if you're looking for value, the cults have a difficult schedule and the Jaguars have a easier schedule and they play twice.

The Lions are going to destroy the Commanders this weekend

I think we're gonna get destroyed. I think Dan Campbell is going to have his team just salivating ready to destroy us. It's gonna be an ass kicking.

An NFC team will need at least 10 wins to make the playoffs this year

I think especially because the NFC, I think you're gonna have to have 10 wins to make the playoffs. It doesn't feel like nine wins right now. The Bears and the Panthers are the eight and nine and they both have five wins.

The Patriots are going to trade for a running back like Alvin Kamara or a defensive lineman like Myles Garrett

Matthew Stafford will win the NFL MVP this season

Matthew Stafford. MVP. Hmm. Just think about it. ... Plus 550. I, that's an interesting one. He's, he's never won an MVP.

The Patriots will blow out the Falcons

I'm going blowout... I'll do nine and a half... Gillette's gonna be rocking... I think it's gonna be a blowout.

The Broncos will beat the Texans because of their defensive front matching up against Houston's line

I think the Broncos are gonna win this game... I'm going off the same reasoning I had last week... when they [Texans] play pass rushes that are good, they struggle. Broncos are one of them. I'm gonna take the Broncos defense.

The Broncos and Texans will go under 39.5 points

I think that both these defenses are very, very good... I think the Broncos defense is gonna frustrate the absolute fuck out of the Texans defense. I'm taking the under in this game.

I think Kansas City's gonna be back... I think Philadelphia is gonna get on a roll... Philadelphia, Kansas City could repeat and get back there again.

I think Marcus Freeman already signed his new contract. I'm saying it right now. I think Marcus Freeman will have his new contract announced at the end of the season, but he's already signed it.

Iowa is a playoff contender if they run the table and beat Oregon and USC

I'll give you a one that I think is really interesting and they're not even ranked yet... Iowa. Iowa's gotta run the table. But they're if they can [beat Oregon and USC], they're in. Given the way Iowa's played... they get Oregon at home. If you can beat both those two teams, you can win out and you will make the playoff at 10-2.

Memphis will be the Group of Five representative in the 12-team playoff

I have Memphis as the team coming outta the group of five. I still think it's gonna be the American champ, whether that's Memphis, Tulane, USF or Navy. But Memphis looks good.

The Tennessee vs Oklahoma game is a playoff elimination game where the winner is alive and the loser is dead

I'd say the game that intrigues me most is a pure playoff elimination game in Knoxville. Tennessee, Oklahoma, absolute winner is alive, loser is dead. And the Oklahoma fans very down on Brent Venables. They'll love him if he wins. The Tennessee fans love Josh Heupel. They'll be down on him if he loses.

Honestly. Yeah. I don't think they should lose another game for the rest of the [season].

AJ Brown will remain an Eagle for the entire season despite being unhappy

Yes. He'll be an eagle for this entire, he won't be happy about it, but he will be an eagle... Howie's not going to just eat the, eat the cap because he's upset. He's not going to make this team worse. Just to make AJ Brown's feelings not hurt.

I'm not gonna overreact to anything. So I'm not, I'm not gonna back off of my take yet. Weird stuff happens. There's a lot of season left... I'm gonna trust old me.

Lincoln Riley might be fired or leave USC soon

USC... I think Lincoln Riley might be out. I think there's guys that might leave the places they want to be, even though they're not doing bad. I think it's gonna be basically full on musical chairs.

The Chargers at 25/1 are a great value bet to win the Super Bowl

Do we wanna bet the Chargers to win the Super Bowl, knowing they probably won't, but the number's gonna go, we're gonna get good value... They're 25 to one. When they're healthy, they, when Joe Alt is back and their offensive line is healthy, there are still a very good football team.

The NBA gambling scandal is going to get much bigger with more players involved

My big takeaway after the deep dive earlier today and listened to a couple press conferences is that I think this just gets bigger. I think there's gonna be a lot more guys in the coming days announced to be a part of this thing not looking good whatsoever.

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.
