The Buccaneers could make a Super Bowl run

My Cool Throne for today is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because after watching Baker go over to top to Buca and, you know, Buca didn't get a ton of yards, but he was fighting for every yard that he got. I keep watching clips and I keep, I keep having this thought in the back of my head. Like, we could just, we might, we could just make a run... it could go to the Super Bowl.

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

Chiefs are not making the playoffs.

The Patriots will beat the Dolphins in Week 2

We're gonna beat the Dolphins... I've never [given] up on the team... these are winnable games.

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 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 a FC team for a while.

I'm taking Jordan Love. I think the Packers are gonna be filthy.

The Bills will win the Super Bowl

The Bills is who I think is gonna win the Super Bowl.

The Bills will win 13 or 14 games and have a very favorable schedule

The Raiders will only win five games because their defense lacks talent

Yeah, they [the Raiders] might win five games... When I look at their defense, there's not a lot of talent on it... I worry about the defense. I do think they'll be pretty good on offense... but I worry about the defense.

Green Bay over Philly [in the NFC Championship]... and Buffalo over Green Bay [in the Super Bowl]. There's gonna be a party like they've never felt in Buffalo.

CJ Stroud will be the 'Least Improved Player' of the year due to offensive line issues

CJ Stroud. I don't think it's gonna be his own doing either. I think that line, I think that line's a problem. And once the line's a problem, it really speeds up the quarterback and it becomes a problem for him too.

LSU's Garrett Nussmeier is the best quarterback in the country and will be the first QB taken in the draft

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer will be a Heisman contender this season

John Mateer from Oklahoma was outstanding. Love him... to go from Jackson Arnold to John Mateer, it feels like going from a stripper named honey love to bashful. It's a totally different mindset. [He's] gotta be up there [for the Heisman].

The ACC is wide open this season and Florida State could return to the playoff

I think the ACC is more wide open than we've ever seen. We all thought that Clemson was gonna run away with it... Florida State might be the most physical team in the country... wouldn't it be something, two years after they didn't get into the playoffs going 13 and oh, they get into the playoffs this season. To me that would be just like the right thing for the football guys to do.

If Anthony Richardson can provide even mid-tier production like Andy Dalton or Daniel Jones, the Colts will be a playoff team

If the Colts get competent quarterback... I don't know if Daniel Jones is ever gonna be a superstar, but remember Andy Dalton? If Daniel Jones was Andy Dalton... that's my point. If [Richardson] can just get close to being a red rifle, they got enough talent around him.

Penn State will win the National Championship

I have picked Penn State to win the national title... I think it's the most complete team. I think the quarterback is fantastic and I think it doesn't matter that the coach has never broken through it never. It only matters if he can do it. I believe he can do it.

Oregon will disappoint and could finish 8-4 or 9-3 due to a sneaky tough schedule

I think this is the team that people are just assuming is gonna be top 10 because of their recruiting profile... but they're kind of starting over. There's a lot of new guys here. I think and the schedule is sneaky tough. That last game at Washington. Oregon, you can fuck around and look up and they're like 9-3 or 8-4 and wouldn't be shocked.

Nebraska will make the 12-team College Football Playoff

I released my, my playoff 12 and I got Nebraska in it. I think Nebraska is this year's Indiana in the fact that they will be better as a football team than they they have been and their schedule is fantastic.

Ole Miss backup Austin Simmons is a legit Heisman longshot at 40-1

I'll give you a long shot quarterback in the SEC: Austin Simmons at Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin still is good at coaching quarterbacks... if Simmons kind of over performs what you would expect from somebody with his lack of experience... he's a left shot though. I think he's like 40 or 50 to one.

Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love is my Heisman pick at 25-1

Jeremiah Love. That's mine. 25 to 1. The narrative doesn't—you don't have to do a narrative when it's Notre Dame. If he gets enough carries he's electric and it's Notre Dame and sports writers are going to go crazy for Notre Dame.

LSU will win the National Championship

I picked LSU to win the national title. So I I'm with you on that. I picked 'em to win the SEC too. And it's, it's kind of along with what you just said, like they're, the way that they work, it's like when you don't expect them to be anything is when they're gonna jump up and have a great year.

West Virginia is this year's Indiana and could surprise the Big 12

Everybody's looking for this year's Indiana... Rich Rod left Jacksonville State, went to West Virginia, brought the entire fucking roster with him... I look at West Virginia, like if that's a future you wanna take instead of taking Jalen Daniel... they could be in the playoff hunt.

The Philadelphia Waterdogs will kick the shit out of the Atlas in the semifinals

We guarantee victory. We're gonna kick the shit outta the Atlas... Print it, put it on the paper. Fuck the Atlas.

Will Tommy DeVito play a snap in the NFL this year? Yes. No, he'll be on a team though. He feels like a Saints quarterback.

Jason Kelce will drink over 20 beers on the day of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding

Cade Klubnik will be a Heisman Trophy finalist this year

I think they've got a really veteran quarterback who I think is gonna probably win or get very close to winning the Heisman trophy... Cade Klubnik.

I have LSU winning the SEC championship... I think I have LSU beating Georgia in the SEC championship game.

Baylor will win the Big 12 conference title

I picked Baylor actually to win it all [in the Big 12]... I think he's [Dave Aranda] got enough pieces from the portal... I actually have them beating Iowa State for the championship.
