00:02nfl season starts on a wednesday one week from today let's go through it i've got my season
00:08predictions we'll start in the afc or i have the one seed the buffalo bills okay best record the
00:16nfl since 2020 six straight 11 win seasons they'll get the ravens and chiefs at home so those could
00:21be pivotal for home field i like the addition to dj more and they keep injecting more youth
00:26on their defense big question is going to be was it enough of a coaching change two seeds the
00:32ravens i love that they're getting back to their identity defense jesse minter they missed matabuke
00:38on that d line they also added uh trey hendrickson to that defensive front and i like the young talent
00:43in their secondary the three seed kansas city chiefs they're back they don't ask mahomes to be the
00:51leading rusher anymore that kenneth walker addition i think will be a big boost for them open up things
00:55in the passing game no suspension for rashi rice defense will be strong four straight picks on
01:01defense including a pair of first rounders who will contribute cults are my four seed the afc south
01:08winner wow they were well on their way last year eight and two before a spiral daniel jones is back
01:15and dimes gets him a division crown dimes wow not as high on tom's texans i don't although i don't
01:22know if he's texting tom again this season wow we'll get to uh the five the wild card spot that's
01:28the denver broncos i don't think enough people are talking about this team as a legit super bowl
01:33contender they were bonex injury away a year ago good online good defense sean payton's won a super
01:39bowl denver's back in the playoffs the sixth seed is the chargers both tackles back you had mike
01:46mcdaniel to help that offense get a big boost i do worry about their defense losing minter my seven
01:51seed begrudgingly defense alone gets the texans in the playoffs oh wow so new england goes from
01:57super bowl to out much tougher schedule plus i don't know if there's any residual variable
02:03distraction and this aj brown demanding the ball is that going to be a distraction too i don't know
02:09drake may one of the the best young quarterbacks that we've seen in a while very good much tougher
02:15schedule for new england in the nfc the one seed no surprise the la ramps okay how can you fight
02:22it
02:22coach and qb have done it aggressively added to their defense they deserve to be the favorites
02:28the two seed our guys the detroit lions oh you're such a homer you're drinking the kool-aid that's
02:34right give me a big old pitcher bounce back with a last place schedule all pro talent all over best
02:39qb
02:40in the division despite with two to six says and i'll tell you a boost in the trenches gives them
02:45a return to their identity oh you don't like love you don't love how about caleb williams
02:51come on man the three seed dallas cowboys oh i'm gonna join the chorus of idiot talking heads that
03:00believe dallas will be good this season but will they get a win in the post season the eagles have
03:06won this division back to back but john you know the history it hadn't been repeated in 20 years
03:11prior there's a cycle dax got two alpha receivers the defense is where i think they really are going
03:16to take strides full year for quinn and williams adding rashawn gary and von miller pair of first
03:20round picks caleb downs and malachi lawrence to help that defense it just become the norm now right
03:29the bucks are my team out of the nfc south someone has to win the south proven quarterback they did
03:35keep vita vea him and antoine winfield jr might be the best two defenders in the division and i can't
03:40wait to see ruben bain on that front wild card spots eagles seahawks and vikings
03:47okay did i stutter vikings huh so the eagles the roster's loaded i have questions about their offense
03:55the seahawks you lose the super bowl mvp i don't love their pass catchers outside of jsn
03:59and i wonder if teams can take him away with a lesser offensive coordinator so you really don't
04:05like jordan love or caleb williams neither of them making the postseason quickly on the vikings
04:12nine win team with no qb play they will get an upgrade but the bigger upgrade is in the trenches
04:16and here's where i appeal to john sensibilities 26 offensive line combinations a franchise record a year
04:22ago when healthy i think that group will have a big improvement but yeah the bears there were big
04:29turnover right regression team can can you score the most points in nfl history and not make the
04:34playoffs quickly on the teams that didn't make it because i know we're going to try to condense all
04:38this the packers have some big questions micah parsons not going to be on the team to start this
04:43season they were oh and five without him at the end of last year their number one receiver tucker
04:47craft a tight end is coming off of a knee injury himself they don't have a true number one and
04:51josh
04:51jacobs is starting the season suspended so the packers i think there's a step back they won't sneak
04:57in the way they have the last three years as the seven seed the bears if you've listened to the
05:01show it shouldn't be a surprise i've been telling you their defense was bad last year they had
05:05unbelievable turnover luck they're going to miss the playoffs so quick question does lefleur make it
05:11to hit the second season of his new deal are we predicting coach firings i don't know i'm just
05:17asking all right let me take you through should i do the awards now regular season awards oh okay yeah
05:22go for it defensive player of the year aiden hutchinson lions playing a softer schedule big
05:27leads big sack total this is not a homer pick he is the third best odds offensive player of the
05:32year
05:32i'm going chalk you may have heard jameer gibbs is going to have an increased workload i think it leads
05:36to unbelievable stats oh wow it's just take two pictures of that blue kool-aid and my mvp is just
05:43herbert because it doesn't matter if you fail in the in the postseason it's a regular season award
05:48i do think he's going to have a big year statistically this guy he's thrown for 5 000
05:52yards in this league and his oc had tua leading the league in passing yards once upon a time
05:57all right take you through the playoff bracket in the afc ravens take down the texans
06:05chiefs take down the chargers broncos beat the colts okay i could see though that's it being real
06:12which leads to the next round matchup bills and broncos and i have um the bills beating the broncos
06:20okay and the rubber match the third straight year they meet in the postseason we got the chiefs
06:25beating the ravens which sets up a chiefs bills afc title game in buffalo high mark stadium brand new
06:31stadium does he get over the hump are you going to tell us now i guess i can wait we'll
06:38go to the nfc
06:39the lions get the vikings and they beat the vikings the cowboys face the seahawks and to john's
06:45question no they don't win a playoff game oh man but i struggled with that one bucks and eagles i
06:53like
06:53the bucks which sets up lions bucks anzalone's return to detroit uh-huh and the lions win that
07:00one okay the lions are in the nfc title game where they will face the rams well if they have
07:06the
07:06offensive and defensive players of the year i would expect that they would i mean clear path
07:11to the super bowl right i'll get to that here in a second they have to go to los angeles
07:17let's go
07:18back to the afc where i have the nauseating outcome patrick mahomes and andy reid back in the super
07:24bowl oh come on really coming off the acl and a old ass tight end i mean come on he
07:34might even i mean
07:34it's it do we know is is he gonna be a dad yet travis yeah i don't know it's gonna
07:41be born on
07:42valentine's day at the super bowl that's right love will be in the air as taylor and travis are in
07:47the
07:47super bowl there it is full circle um quick note on both the ravens and the bills who people are
07:53looking
07:54at his super bowl teams and they very well could be we have not had a rookie head coach win
07:58a super
07:59bowl in their first season since 1989 it's only happened two times ever odds are against those
08:05teams and uh the chiefs are going to play the rams in the super bowl oh man yeah there's no
08:12more
08:12no free levels on the cool it's empty now sorry and the kansas city chiefs will win the super bowl
08:18patrick mahomes another mvp yeah ho-hum
08:23and i had so such high hopes for your bracket took you on a roller coaster but the rams who
08:29are you
08:29know the the prohibitive favorites follow the other 20 uh previous prohibitive favorites and do not win
08:36a super bowl half of those teams made it but none of them won it and i think they fall
08:41into that
08:41category all right it's um it's exciting but at the same time it's very disappointing that the lions
08:52don't even make the super bowl yet again nfc title offensive defensive player you never know i mean
08:59they may never get back there again how does that nfc title game play out is it as heartbreaking as
09:03the
09:03last one are they we're not blowing a 17 point lead in this one jmo on the reverse early on
09:09for the
09:10touchdown stafford has to beat the lions to get to the super bowl pen a sewell throws a pass but
09:14isn't that like the rubber meets the road i trust their defensive front more than our unproven group
09:19as as much as i want that group to step up i'm gonna side with miles garrett and aaron donald
09:24a
09:24couple gold jacket guys and i'm gonna side with a coach and a quarterback who've already won a super
09:28bowl we've got gold jacket guys don't we we got a gold jacket guy that's gonna be blocking one of
09:34the gold jacket guys absolutely pen a sewell i'll take him against miles garrett
09:39well you'll have your chance to do that later in the show it's 97 one
09:43you
