The 2018 NFC Championship will be Bears vs. Rams

It's going to be Bears-Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Chiefs and Patriots, it's going to be awesome. We'll see if Mahomes is for real... I think the Chiefs win this one outright. I do.

The Jaguars vs. Cowboys game will go under 40.5 points

The under that I love, love, love this week is the Jags-Cowboys, under 40 and a half, because the Cowboys can't score, and the Jags have a good defense.

The Rams vs. Broncos game will go under 52.5 points due to the snow

My under is going to be Rams-Denver. So it's 52 and a half, but it's going to be in the snow. Snow football... I'm already mad at myself because if I get all worked up for a snow game and then I tune in and it's a flurry or if there's no snow, that's the most disappointed I'll be all year.

An 8-8 record will win the NFC East in 2018

However, the NFC East is an absolute dumpster fire. I'm pretty sure 8-8 wins it, and you're playing against the Eagles at home on Thursday night. If you win that game, you now are the favorite to win the NFC East.

Khabib Nurmagomedov's dad will punish him more severely than the UFC

His fucking dad is going to kick the shit out of him. And it's so funny that this guy is 30 years old, one of the best UFC fighters of all time, and he's got to go home to Dagestan and get worse sanctions from his father than he will from Dana White.

The Chiefs are for real and they will stay there. The rest of that division, I mean, the chargers are okay, but the rest of that division is not very good.

The Browns will be a playoff team in 2019

I don't think they're a playoff team this year. I think they'll push for 8-8 season, and then next year they'll be a playoff team. How about that early prediction? I think the Browns will be a playoff team next year.

NFL scoring will go down as defenses catch up to offensive gimmicks

Look what happened today. You know what happens? Everybody catches up with the gimmicks. The gadget plays. Offense is going to rule. Never again will the defense be able to stop them. Look at today. They started to slow them down today... Scoring will go down. It will not stay the same pace.

Sam Darnold has the 'large palette' face needed to potentially become the NFL's next 'dumb quarterback face' elite

I think that Sam Darnold might develop into something like this just because he's got the bigger face, so he has a larger palette to work with.

Josh Gordon will be a 'cheat code' for Tom Brady and the Patriots

Josh Gordon, obviously, he's going to be a cheat code. He's going to be the guy that Brady throws it up to, and he's going to catch it nine times out of ten. I'm going to get sick of it. I'm going to be upset at myself for predicting it and ruining my life in advance.

The Yankees will win their playoff series against the Red Sox

I actually think the Yankees will win this series because you need—the Yankees to be full Yankees. They need that guy who everyone's like, whether even like the Yankees fans would die for him and everyone else universally is like, that guy's the biggest scumbag in the world.

The Jaguars vs. Chiefs Week 5 game is when Patrick Mahomes finally 'comes back down to earth'

The game of the week is easy... the Jaguars versus the Chiefs. Defense versus offense. Mahomes—this is the game that he comes back down to earth.

I'm taking the Jets (-1) at home against the Broncos because people are overrating Denver's performance against the Chiefs

My favorite that I'm taking, I'm taking the Jets at home... minus one against the Broncos. People are going to be saying the Broncos are a good team because they played in prime time and they almost beat... the Chiefs. And then people are going to be hating on the Jets... I'm going to go with the Jets minus one at home.

Jason Witten will be on the Booger Mobile by the end of the season

Bold prediction. Jason Witten's going to be on the Booger Mobile by the end of the season. They should put him both on the Booger Mobile.

The Buffalo Bills are officially done and eliminated from playoff consideration

I think it's time to hang it [the Dunchain] on the Bills. So now we got the Seahawks, the Texans, and the Bills.

I have bought back into the Wisconsin Badgers as a College Football Playoff contender

I've bought back into the Wisconsin Badgers season. If they beat Michigan and Penn State on the road, there's a pass. And they just got to take care of Ohio State, Big Ten Championship game. A team with only one loss against a very, very good BYU team... how do you leave them out of the college football playoff?

The Chicago Cubs have one more World Series in them

I still think this team [Cubs] has one World Series in them, one more World Series in them. But this fucking sucks.

No one will ever hit .400 in MLB again

No. No one will ever hit .400 or even come close to hitting .400... over the course of a full season ever again. There's just too many defensive shifts and there's so much data on hitters and pitchers... those days of come and gone in baseball.

Clayton Kershaw will pitch great in the NLDS and then struggle in the NLCS

Clayton Kershaw will pitch great in the NLDS, and everyone will say, Clayton Kershaw, monkey off your back. He's a postseason pitcher, and then he'll get to NLCS, and he'll throw a stick [stink].

I think it very well could be the Cleveland Indians from the American League... and the Dodgers... I think it's going to be the Cleveland Indians.

The Chicago Bears are the best team in the NFC and will win the Super Bowl

They happen to be playing against the best team in the NFC, future Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears. So you can't really say that Fitzmagic is over. They just were in a buzzsaw situation.

Conor McGregor will lose to Khabib Nurmagomedov

My Who's Back of the Week is Conor McGregor... maybe because he's going to lose. He is going against Khabib... who wrestled bears as a child.

Bryce Harper will sign with the Phillies

To be honest with you, I think Philadelphia... Philadelphia's trying to win a World Series the next few years.

All signs are pointing to a Jared Goff vs. Blake Bortles Super Bowl

The Bucs vs. Bears game is an elimination game for the playoffs

The Bucs and the Bears, I have dubbed this an elimination game. So the loser will not make the playoffs. The winner will, unless the Bears lose.

I don't think anybody's making the playoffs out of that crap division [NFC East].

If we make it to next year, I'd like to get one more year in.

The Bears vs. Buccaneers game is the perfect litmus test for Ryan Fitzpatrick

I honestly think that against the Bears defense is Bucs Bears on Sunday. It's the perfect Ryan Fitzpatrick litmus test. Can he still do this against a good defense? Okay, no, he can't. He's either going to fail spectacularly or the Bucs will win the game.

A Colin Kaepernick primetime game for the 49ers would be the highest-rated game of the season

I actually think that if Colin Kaepernick started a game in prime time for the 49ers, it would be the highest-rated game of the entire season. Absolutely. And Twitter would melt down.

Michael Rapoport suing Barstool over herpes allegations will trigger the Streisand effect

Rappaport claims Barstool engaged in a campaign to discredit and embarrass him, including accusing him of having herpes.

A Jimmy Butler trade to the Heat would make them a top-four seed in the East

Jimmy Butler with the Heat, do they compete in the East? Yeah. I'd say that they're probably... Three or four seed? I'm going to go with probably the [Celtics], I'm going to go with the Raptors, the Celtics, the Heat [as the top seeds].
