I got Houston going on the final four... Houston against Duke on one side. Houston comes outta the region of toughness on the other side... I got Houston finally breaking through under Kelvin Sampson and winning the national championship.

The Bengals will be a championship threat for the next 3-4 years after signing Chase and Higgins

I am very happy for Bengals fans... Bengals fans, I think were very nervous about this entire off season. Will the Bengals be cheap? ... Those two guys are really fucking good at football and they're both still young... you have Joe Burrow and you basically are saying, you know yeah they gotta make some some right decisions on defense... But they're always gonna be in the mix with those three guys. You basically guaranteed the next three to four years are gonna be fun.

But yeah, I think we're gonna make some shots. We were really close yesterday, we generated some good looks that just didn't drop. So I think we're much closer than the scores as indicates as of late.

Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers is the only logical move left and he looked like himself late last season.

If it's not Pittsburgh, where is it? The Giants? And it doesn't sound like he wants to do that, so it has to be Pittsburgh. ... Aaron Rodgers finished with 28 touchdown passes last year. ... At the end of the year he started looking like Aaron Rodgers. So I think if Pittsburgh were smart, they find a way to make that work.

Michael Penix Jr. is going to be a really good NFL quarterback.

I like the makeup of the offense. I think [Michael] Penix is gonna be really good, but defensively they need to get a pass rusher. And I think that that surprised me a little bit because there were some guys on the market that they could indeed go get.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing every game in the middle TV next year. Yeah. Like that's with sound. Every single game.

Jameis Winston is the cure for the Steelers' offensive struggles

In the eight years going into year nine, there hasn't been a more challenging circumstance that you have to navigate relative to knowing that the most likely outcome is we're parting ways with him [Cooper Kupp].

Aaron Rodgers will try to bring Davante Adams with him to the Raiders

The Eagles will take a big swing to trade for Miles Garrett this off-season

I think Philly's gonna try to go hard here. I think Howie is going to make some decisions here in free agency and, and determine who he can live without. And, and I think some of these guys that are up, he's gonna be comfortable walking away from. But I think you make those kind of moves and you, you take a big swing for, for someone like Miles Garrett.

The New England Patriots will be Super Bowl contenders by 2026

New England right now... This is a gigantic off season for the New England Patriots for the future. Like, I, I don't, I don't think they're gonna be that great next year. But I think it's 2026.

Miles Garrett will cost at least two first-round picks if the Browns trade him

We could franchise tag you next year.

The Browns will draft a quarterback with their first pick in the 2025 Draft

The NFL will not ban the 'Tush Push' play
