The Bears, Saints, or Chiefs will win the Super Bowl next year

The Chiefs, the Bears and the Saints because since 2020 the only Super Bowl winners have been the Chiefs or NFC teams getting their second Super Bowl in franchise history. So that leaves us the Chiefs, the Bears or the Saints for next year. So I like that. I like my chances there.

The Colts' signing of Philip Rivers is a mistake that won't last the season

I am a little bit concerned about his safety because Philip Rivers is a grandfather and he's playing against that Seahawks defensive line. This doesn't seem like a fix that is necessarily set up to last for the rest of the season. They might just be going on a week to week basis.

Philip Rivers did not actually sign with the Colts in 2024; the hosts were reacting to a viral rumor or workout that did not result in a roster spot for the rest of the season.
