The Bears have a significant special teams advantage over the Rams in the Divisional Round.

I've meant to say that the one place that the Bears have a significant advantage is special teams. The, the Rams have been kind of like, they got a punt blocked. The kicker's been bad. The Bears, Cairo. Santos has been good.

Caleb Williams is a 'big game' quarterback

The thing I'm actually least worried about is I, I think Caleb Williams is like a big game guy. Like, I think he's gonna be ready for this game... I think he's big game Caleb.

The NFL should stop giving 'charity' playoff spots to inferior teams that win 'Mickey Mouse' divisions like the 2025 Panthers

Josh Allen, who is the best. I think he's the best playoff quarterback in the AFC right now.

And the losses that he's had, he's been the best quarterback on the field.

The Patriots' elite offense will offset any defensive challenge the Chargers present in the Wild Card round

Tyler Shuck is the hands-down NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

Could you imagine this guy not winning rookie of the year? No. Oh, he is a rookie that your hands down easily. Hands down.

Deactivating Jayden Daniels for the rest of the season was the right decision for the future of the Commanders

He has been deactivated for the rest of the season. Deactivated for his own good 'cause he just keep trying to come back and get reinjured. I'm fine with it. I, I support the decision all in for 2027... I think it's the right decision.

The Bears vs. Packers Week 16 game is a must-win for Chicago to avoid playoff uncertainty

This one you gotta win because the Bears are most likely gonna make the playoffs if they lose this game. Then it starts to get, Hey, what's going on here? You start looking at the calculations and the 49ers are a game that's coming up next week and then the Lions in week 18. You don't want to get to a spot where the Lions Week 18 becomes a win and get in.

The Bears are currently a better team than the Packers in our fictional 2025 timeline

I'm super impressed with the Patriots this year. I think that the Patriots, Mike Vrabel is a great coach. He should be coach of the year.

Jalen Hurts is Russell Wilson 2.0 (and that is a good thing)

I said Jalen Hurts is Russell Wilson 2.0... I said Russell Wilson was a very good quarterback. I think Jalen Hurts is a very good quarterback. They, they're not the top three guys in the league, but they're somewhere after that where if their team is good around 'em, they're winning a Super Bowl.

The 49ers are the 'lurking' team in the NFC that no one is talking about enough

The Colts are in deep water because they have the toughest remaining schedule in the NFL.

The Colts could be in deep water because the Colts have the toughest remaining strength to schedule based on win percentage. They play the Jaguars, the Seahawks, the 49ers, the Jaguars and the Texans. Those are all playoff teams right now.

The Jaguars vs. Colts matchups are essentially a two-game series to determine the NFL Coach of the Year.

I think that this is Leg one of the home and home coach of the year series. ... I think that a sweep, a sweep goes a long way here. ... Liam Coen's done an incredible job.

I would rather see Jayden Daniels play and risk injury than sit him for the rest of the season

Big picture, if he gets hurt, I'm gonna be like, why the fuck was Jayden Daniels playing? Counterpoint: Good football players want to play football when they're healthy. I would really like to see Jayden Daniels play this weekend. I don't care. I like watching him play football.

Colts -4.5 vs. Texans is a suspiciously low line that favors the Colts

I'm gonna take the Colts minus four and a half. I feel like the, that that's, that's a field goal line. Why is it four and a half? They know something.

The Seahawks are really fucking good. They're Super Bowl contenders.

Kyler Murray made the correct financial decision choosing the NFL over MLB

I'll say that. Even if [Kyler Murray] never is a good starting quarterback in the NFL and never gets another bonafide shot, he made the correct choice because he's made $170 million.

Shane Steichen is a top three candidate for Coach of the Year

I think Steichen, he's like top what? Definitely in the top three for coach of the Year so far this year.

The Bears vs. Bengals game is a 'must look good' game for the Chicago offense

This is a must look good on offense game. The Bears offense has not, has been up and down this year... If you can't light up the Bengals defense, then I'm gonna start having some doubts creep in.

Shane Steichen is the frontrunner for NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen feels like maybe Coach of the Year. Right? And I don't really like, the Colts are just really, really good.

It just seems like the Dolphins are running out the clock here on the season on Mike McDaniel on Tua... the Picks are happening whether you can see it or not. Maybe just try to do some blind plays.

This is just total dysfunction. This is the rock bottom we were talking about under the rock bottom. It's below the rock bottom. And now it's only up from here. Hopefully.

He's efficient. Accurate. Total package... Cover two killer. [I've] been watching a lot of film. Knows cover two.

AJ Brown feels 'used' by the Eagles because they only target him when they desperately need to win.

I think he looks at his relationship with a football team and every time they go to him and they try to exploit a weakness in the defense... he feels like he's being used, like they wouldn't pass him the ball if they didn't need him to win. So fuck them. It's like, you're just using me so that you can win.

Boneless wings are just big nuggets trying to be cool

Wings are not boneless. Wings have bones in them, but, this is it's big nugget that's trying to make themselves seem like they're as cool as chicken wings. You'll never be as cool as chicken wings. It's the mocktail of chicken.

The Rams against the spread are a must-bet because they are 11-3 in their last 14 games

Do you think that Spencer Rattler has a future as a starting quarterback in this league? I think he might. And I feel strong about maybe.

If the Eagles lose to the Vikings, their season is dead

This is the do or die game. If you lose third week in a row, to Carson Wentz... if they lose this game, I think it comes crumbling down.

I'm starting to believe in the Falcons

I think I'm starting to believe in the Falcons. Are you ready to do that with me? I like 'em man. I like 'em.

The Dolphins' failure to kick the field goal for 70 points against the Broncos cursed their franchise

I'm beginning to think that when he did not go for a field goal at the end of that game... he decided he was not going to set the all time NFL scoring record. It's a curse that cursed the Dolphins from that point on.

Travis Hunter the wide receiver would beat Travis Hunter the cornerback

Travis Hunter, the wide receiver we think could beat Travis Hunter the cornerback. Yes. Get toasted.

The Lions are a stock that only goes up; I will keep betting them every week

Shedeur Sanders is 'behind the eight ball' if Rex Ryan is getting in his head

If Rex Ryan is in your head, Rex Ryan talks on TV... He has nothing to do with the NFL right now... If Rex Ryan is taking up any space at all in your head to the point where you're gonna react to that in a press conference, I feel like you're already a little bit behind the eight ball.

Brian Flores was being 'very mean' by comparing Dylan Gabriel's thought process to Tua Tagovailoa's

That is so mean of Brian Flores to say, 'I see Tua'—the guy I fucking almost ended his career by just hating him and bullying him as I was his head coach—in Dylan Gabriel. Brian Flores hated Tua to the point where Tua said that he had to go to therapy for two years to fix his confidence.

This is a true loser leaves town. 'Cause one and four is zero [chance].

The Cardinals have the worst body language in the NFL

They're the worst body language team in the NFL by far. And they're, I think, leading the way. Kyler Murray, bad body language. Marvin Harrison, Jr. bad body language. Especially on Thursday night... they go to the sidelines and they don't talk to each other.

The Cleveland Browns have a championship-level defense

The Cleveland Browns have a championship defense right now. Yeah, I would agree.

I'm officially done with the Tennessee Titans

I'm done with the titans done with them. So I'm gonna take the Texans, but I'm done with the Titans. I don't, this game, this game is not exciting to me whatsoever. Titans are two and 14 against the spread in their last 16 games. I just, I have to quit. I have to stop.

Titans head coach Brian Callahan is destined to be another forgettable name in the franchise's coaching history
