Takes

The Oakland Raiders' season is officially over.

All right, so that game, the Raiders are done. They're done. Done-chained them.

The Baltimore Ravens are my Super Bowl pick

The Baltimore Ravens have been my Super Bowl pick since three weeks ago, I believe.

I love the over in Bills vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Fellas, I love this over. This is going to be my over of the day. Because you've got to have at least one over on Thanksgiving. It's a lot going against Buffalo. Buffalo on the road. Different defense at home. Very good defense on the road. Maybe not as good. And also, teams have been able to run a little bit on the Bills. Guess who the Cowboys have? Zeke.

The New Orleans Saints will blow out the Atlanta Falcons

I think that the wonky game already happened with the Saints and the Falcons. I think the Saints are going to blow them out.

The Lakers and Celtics will meet in the NBA Finals

I think it's going to be Lakers-Celtics in the championship.

The Cleveland Browns are going to run the table

I still think it's a portal game. I still think that the Browns are going to run the table... If they can win this game [vs Steelers], they have a chance to run the table.

The Patriots will dominate the Texans

Yep, this is the game. Patriots get back on a roll. They always dominate the Texans... I think this is a game they win by 10 to 14 points.

Sean McDermott is a top candidate for NFL Coach of the Year

Is it time right now to start asking about Sean McDermott, possible coach of the year? That's like the sweet spot for a coach of the year, coaching a smaller market team and elevating them beyond what their expectations were.

The Cleveland Browns will run the table and make the playoffs

I think that they [the Browns] might run the table. I think that the Browns might make the playoffs. I think my brain is telling me that they're going to run the table. So if I'm wrong, it's not me. It's my brain.

The Saints, Steelers, and Patriots all winning is a can't-lose parlay

There's no chance the Saints lose at home to the Panthers... The Steelers are not going to lose to the Bengals because Mason Rudolph has never lost a game after he's been accused of saying something racist... and the Patriots will beat the Cowboys because all you got to know about the Patriots Cowboys game is Jason Garrett verse Bill Belichick.

The Bills -4 against the Broncos is a thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week

This one's going to be my thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week. So this is a big fucking fire. It's the Buffalo fucking bills -4 at home against the Broncos.

The Seahawks +1 against the Eagles is the walkiest line of the year

I'll take the Seahawks plus 1. Russell Wilson is an underdog 23:7 and one against the spread in his career. It's this is the walkie east line of the year.

Antonio Brown will return to the Patriots following his apology to Robert Kraft

Did you see that every single Patriot basically liked it? And he used a semicolon, which means there's a chance that someone wrote it for him, which means that it was like, hey, post this apology. And maybe you'll come back... do you guys think it's a coincidence that after the Patriots' offensive performance on Sunday that this all of a sudden comes very early the next week?

Philip Rivers' career is over

Philip Rivers is done. D-O-N-E, done. D-E-A-D, dead. It's over. I said to myself, this is sad. And I think it might be over. Because there's something about it that feels different. The arm is just not there. And it just can't. It will never come back.

Gronk will not return to the Patriots this season

My hot seat is anyone who actually thought Gronk was coming back to the Patriots. He did a little teaser similar to when he was on this show. It was like, I have a big announcement tomorrow. Turned out he's just doing a party in Miami... he's not coming back to the Patriots this year, which is sad.

James Holzhauer will win the Jeopardy GOAT tournament

I'm going Jeopardy James [to win]. [Ken Jennings] is from Utah. I just assumed he soaked. He seems like a guy who soaks.

The Bears season is officially over

The Bears season's officially done. The thing is a joke. And Khalil Mack, whenever you want to show up, that's fine too. You don't bench a quarterback at that point, though.

Jerry Jones will give Dak Prescott a $250 million contract

Jerry wants to say, like, with the Dallas Cowboys, we have the most expensive quarterback in the history of the NFL... he will do $250 million.

Jeff Driskel has earned himself five more years in the NFL as a backup

Jeff Driskel signed himself to five more years in the NFL. He has done enough as a backup quarterback... for the next five, six, seven years, people will say, Jeff Driskel, he's a pretty good backup quarterback.

I am so excited to bet against Kirk Cousins in the playoffs

Kirk Cousins has been phenomenal this year, and I am so excited to bet against him in the playoffs.

Drew Lock will be the answer at quarterback in Denver

Drew Lock sounds like he might be the answer in Denver.

The 49ers are overrated and will have an ugly loss in the playoffs

I think they're overrated. I think they're going to have some troubles in the playoffs... They remind me very much of the Texans. Deshaun Watson last year where they have all the hype, first round of the playoffs, have an ugly loss. I see that happening with the 49ers.

Michigan will beat Ohio State

I think Michigan will beat Ohio State. I'm not going to say they are going to beat Ohio State... I think it's going to be a more competitive game than people thought a month ago.

Myles Garrett will be suspended for the rest of the season

Myles Garrett. You lost your mind. You're going to be suspended for the rest of the season... Myles Garrett probably got I would imagine he's gone for the rest of the year.

Derek Carr is close to keeping his job long-term in Las Vegas

I've actually think Derek Carr is very close to keeping his job in his house next to Jon Gruden in Las Vegas.

If the Raiders beat the Bengals by 20 points, they are a playoff team

I'm kind of in on the Raiders making the playoffs... if the Raiders win by 20 points or more I think playoff Town. Yeah. I'm on playoff Town Raiders.

The Patriots will beat the Eagles by at least seven points

I'm going to take the Patriots... minus three and a half. It is the classic. I think I wouldn't be surprised if they lose. So I'm going to take them because I mean they'll probably win by 7 plus.

If the Bears beat the Rams, they are going to the playoffs

I legitimately 100% have bought into the fact that if the Bears beat the Rams on Sunday night, they're going to the playoffs.

The Giants will give Eli Manning a farewell game on December 29th

I'd be tempted at some point to hold Eli Manning in my back pocket because I feel like he's going to get at least one farewell game... It will not surprise me at all if there's a quote-unquote injury to Daniel Jones that really wouldn't keep him from playing, but let Eli Manning finish out the season.

Freddie Kitchens will be fired after his second game against the Steelers

My other hot seat is Freddie Kitchens because according to sabermetrics he's going to be fired this week... I looked up the exact stat Romeo Crennel Eric Mangini Pat Shurmur Rod Chudzinski and Mike Pettine were all fired after their second Steelers game and Hue Jackson. So we wait this wouldn't be this week then it would be in three weeks when he plays his second. Yeah so he is officially on the hot seat.

The Eagles will win the NFC East

I think the Eagles will win that division. I think the Eagles will win that division because they're now tied 5-4, and the remaining game is in Philadelphia. But if you look at who the Cowboys have left, they have to go to the Lions, at the Patriots. They have the Rams, the Eagles. So I mean, there's some losses on there.

The Ravens are going to win the Super Bowl

The Ravens obviously look awesome. I think that they're going to win the Super Bowl. I really do believe that.

Joe Burrow will be the number one overall pick for the Bengals

Should we start the Joe Burrow going home? He's from Athens, Ohio... Joe Burrow back to the state of Ohio as a Cincinnati Bengal number one pick... I decided the number one pick. Uh-huh.

The Bears will finish 10-6 and make the playoffs

If they beat the Rams, which they can do... They would be 5-5 if they beat the Rams. They have the Giants at home. That's a win. They have the Lions in Detroit Thanksgiving Day... That's a win... They are now going into December 7-5. Cowboys at home Thursday night... That's a win. That's 8-5. All they got to do is go 2-1 against the Packers, Chiefs, and Vikings. Easy. That's 10-6.

The Chiefs are not going to do anything real this year

We're getting to that point of the season where the Chiefs losing to the Titans makes me think the Chiefs are not going to do anything real this year... Just my gut feeling like a divisional round letdown that type of season.

The loser of LSU/Alabama is in a better spot for the CFP

Alabama, they had two options once they started to get beat pretty badly to keep themselves in the conversation... they could have had an argument if they said Tua is not ready to play... I think Alabama still gets in. I think they would get in over Oregon.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will beat the Rams outright

And then the juicy one, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to beat the Rams outright.

The Steelers will make the playoffs

You were addicted to saying that the Steelers are going to make the playoffs. Oh, I'm still... I put them in my can't-lose program.

Pat Shurmur's days are numbered as Giants head coach

So there is precedent here when the Giants coach says they are built for losing, their days are numbered. Ben McAdoo, three weeks before he was fired from the New York Giants, talking about losing, I'm built for this.

The Falcons will win outright against the Saints

My platinum six star under... Falcons are going to be scoring a lot. They're going to win the game.

LSU will beat Alabama outright

I think LSU is going to, at bare minimum, score a touchdown for the first time in three years. I agree with that. And then I think they're going to win... I think they're going to win outright.

Christian McCaffrey will run all over the Packers

I think Christian McCaffrey is going to be able to run all over that team. They rank as one of the worst run defenses. This is the easiest run defense that he will have faced all year.

Pat Shurmur will be fired after this season

I feel like this is probably the he's gonna be done after this year. You have to move on and yeah Pat Shurmur... it's all kind of coming to a head.

The Giants are officially cursed by the black cat and I will bet against them every game

If you see a cat run across your home field during a game you just gotta you cursed at that point. I am Burn It To The Ground I'm going to bet against the Giants every single game for us to seize.

Anthony Davis will sign with the Bulls in free agency next year

Anthony Davis was at like a school speaking... and he called Chicago the mecca. And he said they asked about like him coming back to Chicago to play and he said I am a free agent next year, but we will see. Door is wide open. Those are just fans already sick LeBron. Those are just facts.

Lamar Jackson will get hurt at some point due to his running style

The only problem is [Lamar Jackson] is going to get hurt at some point. I mean, I hope that he doesn't, but eventually he will. Ravens fans will say he doesn't run like every other running quarterback ever—he's good at avoiding hits, he's phenomenal—but if you look at the history of the NFL, eventually he's gonna get tucked.

Adam Gase is going to get fired by the Jets

Adam Gase is going to get fired... The Jets entire system makes no sense at this point. They have a coach the GM was hired afterwards, so the GM didn't pick the coach and he didn't pick the quarterback. Adam gase is probably gone after this year because Joe Douglas didn't pick him.

The Steelers will make the playoffs

I've been hot on the Steelers are going to maybe make the playoffs. I looked at their schedule—they're four and four right now. They have games they should win: Browns, Bengals, Browns, Cardinals, Jets. If they win those five games, all they got to do is go one and two against the Rams, Bills, and Ravens and they would win 10 games.

The Detroit Lions are making the playoffs this year

I'm going to defend you in a little bit because I think that the Lions are making the playoffs this year. I still think that maybe I'm gonna be the team that you don't want us to maybe at the end of the year.

The Browns will rebound and could make the playoffs at 9-7

I think the Browns are going to win this week. I really do and I think sometimes I think they're going to change the narrative their season. We actually went through the schedule on Monday show the Browns have a path if they can. The games are supposed to win it will basically come down to playing the Ravens and Steelers twice and they can get into the playoffs at 9 and 7 in the AFC.
