I am on, on tackle breaking watch this week. I think this is the week that Marvin Harrison Jr. breaks his first tackle... Kyler Murray, bad body language. Marvin Harrison, Jr. bad body language... after Sunday... people are gonna start to have that conversation.

The Commanders will win 'decisively' against the Chargers

This is a must win decisively game. I think that, I think we can win this game decisively. Commanders minus six and a half. Yeah. You should take that. I'm in, I'm in on it. I trust in Dan Quinn. Dan's gonna get it figured out.

The Chargers beat the Commanders 31-14.

The Patriots vs. Bills game will be a shootout

I'm excited. I'm really excited. I think this game is gonna be a shootout. I think it's gonna, you know, Patriots are gonna have to get a little bit lucky, but it's gonna be a good test... One score. Yeah... I love the Patriots team total over, I love the regular over.

The final score was 27-24, which is a one-score game, but not necessarily a 'shootout' by modern NFL standards (Over/Under was 49.5, total was 51).

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.

The Jets finished 3-14, one of the worst records in the NFL. While they did win 3 games (not zero), they were essentially terrible for the rest of the season as Memes predicted.

Drew Allar is destined for a long career as a journeyman NFL backup like Chase Daniel

I think this man is going to have a Chase Daniel type career as a backup quarterback... I think this guy is grown in a lab to be a journeyman backup. Very successful career millionaire... but never be the guy, a starter, but a great backup.

Dependent on Allar's eventual NFL career path.

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 Commanders didn't even make the playoffs. They collapsed and were eliminated in Week 14. Far worse than a second-round loss ceiling.

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 Patriots' ceiling WAS a Super Bowl appearance. They went 14-3, won the AFC, and appeared in Super Bowl LX (lost 13-29).

I am worried that Terry McLaurin has a serious core injury

I've become worried about Terry [McLaurin] though. Yesterday it comes out, he's getting a second opinion on a quad injury. And I would imagine that if the first opinion was good news, he probably wouldn't be like, Hey, let me make sure I'll go get a second opinion. And then did a, a little bit of digging... the doctor that he's seeing for the second opinion is a core injury specialist. Mm. Like sports hernias.

McLaurin dealt with injuries but was generally healthy and productive throughout the 2024 season.

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.

The Packers scored 40 points in their 40-40 tie with the Cowboys in Week 4. The team total over 27.5 bet hit easily.

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.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup 15-13 at Bethpage Black, the first visiting team win since 2012. Both predictions (Europe winning and it being good for the tournament) came true.

The Ravens have a better chance of making the playoffs at 1-3 than the Chiefs do

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