NFL Week 1 Predictions: Ravens vs. Chiefs, Packers vs. Eagles, and More!

I want to get into uh I said I want to get into the week one games we'll just make picks real quick and then we'll get up out of here so uh next next Thursday night starts with the rematch of the AFC uh championship game so Baltimore versus Kansas City so Dave who you got in that one uh you know I I I tend to be pretty bullish on the Baltimore Ravens at this point in the season I am starting to think Mike Mike might be right about uh their quarterback's ability in crunch time and and big games I'm not decided on that yet but will be soon I think that I think that the Chiefs actually they they're kind of in a position where they might just do that thing they always do which is like start a little slow not Cincinnati Bengals start of the Season slow but they might start a little slow because they're just trying to figure everything out and they're pretty cool you know like they they know that they they know the games they really need to win they know how they need to go out there and perform and I think that Baltimore being Baltimore I mean love that roster I really do love that Ravens roster especially their defense I like when the Baltimore Ravens defense is good uh reminds me of being a little kid again but yeah I don't know I think they might just come out like gung-ho you know is it in is it in Arrowhead though yeah okay well then if I was laying money on it I'd lay money on the Chiefs 100% like in Arrowhead Chiefs every time but that's a fun one I mean I really appreciate the matchmakers for starting us off like this because those are two of the best teams so that's what we want to see when we're when we're kicking off when we're when we're re-injecting the black tar heroin that is this NFL uh product you know Mike I I am I am betting money on it and I am betting on Baltimore um interesting I mean the your bet your bet against Patrick Mahomes is a sucker's bet though you know no no early in the season because just like uh like you mentioned they always tend to I agree with you on paper but it's just putting your money against Pat Mahomes he'll take your money he didn't last year I bet on Detroit so I'm gonna I'm trying to go two for two that was like that was like what they win that game by like two like a TI yeah 2120 but once again P the season too so it matters winning is culture I I completely agree with you there 100 per. yeah I mean I'm I'm I'm riding with Kansas City as well I think it's going to be close um far as Lamar Jackson Point yeah I think that yeah he he as someone who had has been a supporter of him I do think last year to me was close to the breaking point where I was like yo if you didn't get it really looked like the the you didn't get if you didn't get 15 now bro I I I don't know I don't know I kind of feel like the chiefs were begging for someone to beat him too like they were like if you're gonna beat us now would be the time and I think they come in super motivated to do something that that hasn't been done in the modern era just a faster Dak Prescott I wouldn't go that far I wouldn't go that far I wouldn't go that far I think he's I think more I think I think he's more I think he's more gifted than I think he's more gifted than Dak Prescott at every level athletically yeah I think agree I think he has I think he's smarter than Dak Prescott sure absolutely the regular season more I think he did more with less before they gave him weapons than Dak Prescott ever could and I think a more uh appropriate comparison is is Kirt cousins and which is one you've made before where he uh I know they're not the same uh color but they are when they're on their [ __ ] couch at the end of the at the end of the [ __ ] season right like he yes is he more athletically gifted than Kurt Cousins of course can he do more things like with his feet than Kurt Cousins sure but Kurt Cousins is talented until it's crunch time right like it's just that's just is what it is we're going to see a hundred quarterbacks before we die that have more Raw Talent than Tom Brady but Tom Brady was that dude so you know I just like everything that you just said though about my comparison of Lamar and Dak is right except just look at their playoff record no yeah sorry I'm sorry let's keep let's keep moving on because I don't think D Prescott is as good like all the time as Lamar Jackson is that [ __ ] cig do you know what I mean that no that that's that should be a good one but next you know what I mean though do you know what I mean like I spent so much time laughing I thought that [ __ ] was no but I I want to know how you feel about like do you think that that's an app comparison I feel like that's [ __ ] unfair it's def but I want to get all the fix but I'm like it's wild that's wild seems that seems like a really mean thing to say dude I meant it what did Lamark Jackson do what are we doing listen I was like I think I kind of Might agree that he might not be the guy to get it done in yeah and he's a [ __ ] [ __ ] and his family sucks I just don't want you ugly you feel me it's like okay Len you here first Lear guy Mike Mar Angel little 20204 that's [ __ ] up cool NE next game I think we kind of move through this I know we're we're we're getting show on time so uh for the first time I think now they have the with the well games have been on peacock before but now with the New Deal having Friday Night Lights W shout out to jcole one of the best mixtapes of all time shout out to Kyle Chandler and Coach Taylor yeah that too yeah you know so um uh Green Bay versus Philadelphia Mike we got that one in in Brazil right yeah this is in Brazil yeah yeah so I'm taking Green Bay uh I I don't I after like the fall and the Cliff of uh the the Eagles last year I'm not convinced that that's fixed I still think that there's some weird [ __ ] going on uh between the head coach and the quarterback and I just think I'm sorry DK and I'm really not doing this to piss you off because you actually agreed about this a couple weeks ago I think Green Bay has their guy I think Jordan love is is is it and I think he's surreal I think I think Philly is gonna be good this year but I think this is one you can Ste from them early so I got Green Bay in this one I actually agree with everything you just said I I find Philadelphia really creepy like they're creeping me out they're making me feel very uncomfortable there's something not right over there there's something absolutely not right there's some sort of like virus that they don't know about yet and it's it's only HIV now but it's going to turn into full-blown AIDS like you can you can just see it coming right like the the noises out of the kind of Jason Kelsey of the world where he's still very media trained but some of the stuff coming out of his mouth I'm like oh ah he didn't love like I think that guy had one more year in him and I think he looked around the locker room and he was like AIDS AIDS I'm not doing this this is this is AIDS toown I'm not [ __ ] doing this so he pieced out you know he was like I'm not there's no point in putting my body on the line for a team I don't believe in that's the only like logical explanation physically I think he had a year left in him uh coach weird super weird Jaylen herz's injuries last year weird talent definitely over eight wins of course conversation with the elite I don't think so not not come January and uh I agree that the Packers are good oh God that tasted like [ __ ] bile in my mouth oh God I got need a second there uh yeah no I I agree Jordan Love's good I agree the Packers are good I'm shifting it into we're going to be the best division of football in two years that's what I'm sh that's where I'm trying to like get my hon it could be it could be this season respectfully it could be this I mean honestly like as far as like the Bears expectation goes like I'm just keep it it very very low like I'm not I'm not trying to go crazy here I just want I just to get through the [ __ ] Year healthy I want him to get through the year healthy I want to see some cool plays like I'm not asking for a lot so the Packers doing well fine also when you go to Brazil I think the onp paper team a better team which is still Philadelphia which I think you would agree with Mikey regardless of your point like on roster to roster I think Philadelphia has players but you go to [ __ ] Brazil don't put your money on this this is just going to even everything out it's going to make it weird don't bet on any London Games either I learned that lesson the hard way don't B on any London Games don't B on any Brazil games anything can happen it gets really [ __ ] strange it's it's not it's not worth it but I do agree with literally everything you said I think Green Bay is gonna win I think we're gonna see probably a Jordan love coming out party if if his playoff coming out party last year wasn't that because it was a little overshadowed by the the our our lovely rookie down in in Texas um CJ I think uh yeah I think Jordan Love's going to have a great year I just want to beat him twice that's all right um I'm I'm ready clean clean sweep I'm going Clean Sweep wow we all picked the Packers I'll just go [ __ ] kill myself I guess yeah I mean like I say I mean you guys said everything but yeah uh love like say obviously he he bowled out in the playoffs for the most part had had a really good year overall so yeah I think that he's he's on he's good he's good he's real good I've been saying it I mean I i' forced myself to it yeah yeah it's it's it's so like I say it won't be what came before him but like say he'll have his he'll have his run this this does not need much to be said like you know we we use the term ball game on here uh I use it a lot mostly but this is this is a ball game situation so New England versus Cincinnati we can just say ball game we don't have to give reasons why Cincinnati straight up I'll take Cincinnati but it's the spread I'll take to England Cincinnati starts flow every year doesn't matter I think I think it's six listen Dave dude when's When's the when's the last time started three one huh Cincinnati doesn't start fast dude they just don't stop stop stop stop it's not come on DAV come on man like this say gon win by 40 so we can move on come on this this this is not this is a joke there's no way that way I would take New England with a Sixpoint spread uh I I really would I'm so sorry we're both still picking a win I also think there's no there's no way y I also I also I also think Cincinnati might have AIDS though I really think they might have AIDS also I think that I think that the whole Jamar Chase thing is weird the whole Jamar Chase thing is really weird they do always start really slow Burrow's injury last year was weird we didn't like know enough about it like I I always feel like if they're not saying anything it's it's worst case you know what I mean like it's just it can be really really rough so uh and I and I'm not as like I I'm I'm I'm healthily skeptical about the Patriots season I do think they're going to win four games because I'm not I'm not stupid but well I am but I'm not stupid about this because I all I think about but I think I I mean I wouldn't be surprised if their defense overperforms in in the very first game against like a Cincinnati team that never get its [ __ ] shoes on in the first what we're saying is straight up we're taking Cincinnati to win but we would pick New England in the spread just for the points it's gonna be a close game I guarantee it next I'm not doing this Pittsburgh versus Atlanta D what you got moving your house is it me I'm gonna take Pittsburgh because here you go because because because I do think Atlanta's weird uh I don't think that they have any communicable diseases at all if there's any place have that I'm taking Pittsburgh because my wife is a Steelers fan thank you right Pittsburgh all the way let's go Steelers yeah I'm taking uh I'll take it l yeah Atlanta too like Russ Russ is done I finally hopped off the bandwagon Dave Dave got on me three years ago was right about it then um yeah but Justin Fields is gonna be their quarterback by week five that'll be fun yeah yeah yeah and then you know my Tom will hold on to his record of making him you know not having to lose in uh my man cannot hit in a wide open like down the- middle pass and I didn't want to tell anyone that when it was like a trade stock but he can't but man he's fun to watch run so yeah let's watch him yeah it's it's it's it's coming you know as just like once again but yeah that that's that should be a good one regardless but uh next we have Arizona vers Buffalo Mike uh bills I have Buffalo as like a sleeping giant this year I I have like a I have like kind of a rejuvenated and pissed off Josh Allen narrative for for don't give away too much DK we are team AFC yes no I know I'm just giving the this is the preview this is just the sneak peek uh what do you guys call it a big Market the uh I'm just saying I think I I have a whole diet tribe about them being a sleeping giant and like Stefan digs leaving is both good for him and good for the bills I have a whole thing about it so uh tune in next week for thee for the game show it was we're just giving a picture of the game we're not we're not giving the records we just saying just picture of the game so that that's fine okay yeah I'm I'm I'm I'm gambling in my head while you guys are talking I'm like I'm like writing downal too like Arizona they're far away too like they're two years to be two away uh you know two years away as well so they're not they're not that good what are you guys going to say about Caleb Williams's debut I'm I'm I'm on I'm on my here we go game baby I I'll leave with that we we'll let you close with that one so uh Tennessee versus Chicago listen I I think that this is going to be a Slaughter I think Chicago wins at least by 10 oh wow yeah cayb Williams has a Cam Newton type performance like he had in 2011 we one and he puts the world on no like hey I'm I'm that guy here to stay so I think a lot of [ __ ] throw the ball too that's all I'm saying [ __ ] out there to throw the ball wins by 10 so yeah I have I have the Bears in a landslide that will cause like the ESPN and all the pundits to start saying like uh are they are they oh my God you're giving me the curse mike always has to leave some sauce on it dude I'm say and it's gonna be annoying how how they win and it's you're gonna be trying to Tamp down pressure while while pressure I'm trying to uninvite it Tennessee sh's going to be outgun I mean they just not good are they they're not a good team not going to prove anything about the Bears uh if we beat them and it's it's it's a lot to lose little to game kind of game for us to start out with to be honest we should beat them I think and if we don't it's going to raise more questions than if we do you're right I think the pressure is on them to win because of how you mean him right the pressure is on him to win right that's what you meant to say because it's really on him isn't it [ __ ] I'm letting it in [ __ ] all Caleb has to do is not be the reason they lose that's it okay great okay okay you're absolutely right about that you can't really say that to him though you know what I mean like that's not good coaching you can't you can't be like just don't [ __ ] it up kid like I agree with you play smart be smart that's all gon to do yeah no I think what I think what I really liked especially out of the Hard Knock is like they're they're ever just had this thing about like execution like executing the little things means you execute the big things I just it just sounds like it's right you know what I mean like it's just one of those things that sounds like okay yeah I can get behind that and like I think I think from what I've seen I know that nobody ever looks bad on Hard Knocks and I do understand it's like Bears propaganda I am injecting it right into my [ __ ] eyeballs but like it's I I am trying to T tamper it down I'm trying to Tamper down the overall pressure that is going to be put on this season and I do think that like the pundits or at least the ones I listen to in respect from time to time have been like pretty fair to Caleb Williams to be honest like they just they're kind of like there's kind of like a hankering right now for him to be good I feel like there's actually more sentiment on his side right now because of the where the Bears have been over the past few years like what the the kids kind of demeanor and the Hard Knocks and you know all the kind of bad press was a little nasty I think about him like it was a little bit like identity Politics as opposed to like is he good at football and that to me just said like oh you don't really have any criticisms like valid ones about his game so now we're talking about the fact that he paints his [ __ ] Nails right so here we are everything I've gathered from like how the kid carries himself like he's uh he's got a singular and unique personality but I've seen enough that I think he might be a psycho uh and I mean that in like the best possible way like I've seen enough that I'm like I think he might be one of those people who's like he lives he do and I think this is what some people have been seeing and trying to like piece together I do think he lives like one one door down from the rest of us if you will so and I think that that might be the best possible quality in an athlete at that level you know cuz there's that clipto went viral where he was like my first game I felt pressure I haven't really felt it since then I was like oh I believe oh no I was like oh no what a looney because like I feel pressure watching him so you know I guess they're just cut from different classs but I don't want to put too much pressure or onus on the on the kid winning this game because he's not he's I'm not letting anybody say that he's it's his job to win us games yet I'm just not it is it is not it just isn't so all good whatever happens happens I think there'll be I'll be noticing some new nuances what I really like is our depth I think that our second best and third best guys are great and I think we have a lot of like really cool rotations and looks defensively that we can throw at at at Tennessee and I think we're going to stop the run which will be fun to watch uh overall I gotta pick Chicago
