[Music] [Music] [Applause] and everybody to another episode of the highs podcast is the final part final part predictions week 24 hours away from the start of the of the NFL officially and it is it is DJJ joined as our co-host Kelsey and no spent the last 30 or so days kind of leading up to this point been more or less the culmination as we get right up to it today we're g to pick some super some Super Bowl champions with the playoffs and we're gonna we're gonna hand out some hardw arguably our favorite and and least favorite episode of the every single time yeah you know it's the playoffs you know this is the Q the Q the uh meme the old school playoffs we're talking about playoffs yeah we're do that right here uh playoffs finishing out the season you know it is one of the best times of football predicting that uh we usually get either get it right on the dot or it is as God awful as you could ever imagine usually a little bit of somewhere in between or a little bit of both sometimes it's never just one or the other but that means today we're going to be going through full playoff runs every single game we have from it and going through before we get started we will go and show off who we have as our playoff matchups we'll go and start showing the AFC here's who Kelsey and I have making it in the NFC so number one seed we have the Kansas City Chiefs both of us now we got the AFC North in the number two spot Kelsey with the Colts bills Ravens Chargers Raiders running it out me with the Jets Texans bills Browns and Colts rounding it out so here's what we got so far we'll go and start with the AFC and I'll go and kick us off first I'll get us under way I'll just get us to the Super Bowl so you can see who I'll be who I'll be have going to New Orleans in February so we'll start in the beginning the Bengals are taking on the Colts to verse seven and the Bengals will cover the spread very comfortably that is entirely to much Firepower against a very okay secondary so Bengals take out the Colts pretty comfortably in Cincinnati next we have the Jets taken on the Browns the Browns will have to go on the road so we will have to see about that defense on the road plus we'll have to see who's playing quarterback at that point too and if Aaron Rogers and the squad are remotely healthy like I think they will be I think they'll have just a little bit too much Firepower they'll win I don't know what the spread will be but if it's close maybe take the close board get we're have the Jets getting past the the Browns and then we have the Texans taking on the bills this will be the quote unquote upset that we have is that will have the five- seated bills getting past the Texans as as the four seed think it be very close it'll be a rematch from 2019 but very very very very different circumstances I do think that the bills will they'll surprisingly get by now in that Underdog is role that they've not really had in the playoffs for the last handful of years besides against the Chiefs so I'm going to go ahead and say that the bills will get by them so that that will set up the classic matchup of bills taking on the Chiefs in the division round because we can't go a playoff year without it it's mandatory and I think unfortunately the Chiefs are for the bills the Chiefs are going to get by them yet again I think the the streak for the bills continues unfortunately unable to get by their Nemesis then from there we'll have the Bengals take on the Jets and what is on paper could be an incredible matchup we are gonna have the Bengals we'll get one over on the Jets I think the HomeField Advantage I think saon Jamar Chase will more or less kind of cancel each other out but then that's where you will see T Higgins coming to play Germaine Burton out the entire year under spoke Mike giki Chase Brown and Zach moss and I think the offensive line by this point is going to be incredibly solid I think they'll have some of those rough patches early on like the Bengals always do but I do think Joe Bro is going to continue that momentum and at this point their defense which is very young I think will take that step so it's GNA take us into the AFC Championship game and where have we heard this one before Chiefs going against Cincinnati in Arrowhead we're doing it again we're going to say that the Bengals actually get by on this one we're going to say that the offseason they get by before Chiefs kingdom comes after me just know that of all the years we have done this the very first year we did it neither one of us picked the Chiefs to go to the Super Bowl they won the Super Bowl that year the next year you picked the Chiefs to win the Super bowl over Tampa Bay they got smacked by Tampa Bay good good call on your part getting both of the participants right as well too the next year I had them losing to the Rams in the Super Bowl that's the last time they lost a playoff game since that we have not picked them to go to the Super Bowl and they have won the Super Bowl so you know what I'm doing the chiefs of solid on this one so chese Kingdom we are welcome but that's going to have the Bengals getting out of the AFC for me running through the AFC Gauntlet and I think healthy Joe bur for the first time in his NFL career with an off season Jamar Chase put on a helmet today so I'm hopeful that that means by week four he'll look like Jamar Chase I think T Higgins bounceback season Germaine Burton explosive season Bengals find a way to get back to the Super Bowl this year barring once again a major unfortunate injury but we're pretending that that doesn't happen wow that's uh I don't know what it is about the AFC North just continue to to uh kind of push us to to make us make them pick pick make us pick them is what it feels like um if you just reviewing Back DJ real quick I want to go back from your playoff predictions into uh what you end up with so the Bengals at number two they end up making the Super Bowl beating the Chiefs as the number one seed there uh but going through the other matchups you know the shocking one obviously bills you have it at to five seed maybe I guess as shocking quote unquote uh despite being 11 and six that's a i wanted to just point that out that that yes they might be an underdog technically as a five seed but they're 11 and six so you know unequal there's a lot of right there you could say like say like 11 and sixes it gets very very dirty dirty quickly so it's paper and not a lot of people believe in the bills I think if they get to PLS nobody will believe in them I think that's why they'll get the upset especially because the Texans are kind of everyone's AFC darling pick pick this year kind that everyone is I think that's I think that's everyone's quotequote surprise pick so I do think beaten them getting to the playoffs wi the division is still great but it's almost going to get over overshadowed unfortunately that makes sense that makes sense all right well I'll go ahead and run through my AFC so just pulling the SE seating back up one more time uh I have the one seed as the Chiefs so DJ like you said no no different there I also have AFC North number two but this time I have the Browns winning the AFC North you had the Bengals winning the AFC North I have the Colts as a surprise pick at the number three if you guys listen to the AFC South predictions you know why uh the bills 10 and seven for me worse record than you but a higher seating go figure how that works out uh behind them the the Baltimore Ravens at 11 and six at the five seed and the Chargers 11 and six at the six seed I do think the Chargers are going to do pretty well and then the maybe surprise of them all uh the Raiders making it as that seven seed sliding in and the in the first round and at that seven seed so that's going to put up matchups we'll start at the top work our way down just so everybody's aware I wanted to show that uh we have the bills matching up with the Ravens I have the Ravens beating the bills uh two two teams that should you know make a great game but at the end of the day Lamar Jackson is a Difference Maker Derrick Henry is a Difference Maker there are more plus difference makers on the Ravens side of the ball than there are on the the Buffalo Bill side of the ball not that I'm saying Josh Allen can't do it not that I'm saying James Cook can't do it but there's more plus opportunities for the Ravens here and in the playoffs running the ball and playing good defense is how you win and well these two teams specifically the Ravens do the second do those better uh no offense to the bills so yeah I have the Ravens getting through so the five seat advancing kind of similar to you as well um and then in the two7 match up I have the Browns and Raiders I have the Browns winning that Browns team is just so good on paper uh if they can play as you know good as you can hope they play and especially in this situation I have them in a home home playoff game in Cleveland good luck Vegas it's not going to be 95 degrees in January when you play them it's going to be ice cold on a brick of a field next to the mistake on the lake uh yeah it's give me Cleveland in that one I think that Cleveland can easily beat the the Raiders in that situation and then in the 36 matchup the surprise Colts versus maybe the surprise Chargers I have the Colts advancing I think Anthony Richardson just doesn't care if anybody's seen any sort of previous conversations I've had about playoffs and about you know these type of runs in for teams the younger the team is the more naive they are the better they usually perform in the playoffs because they don't know that they're's not supposed to be there they're not supposed to be there they just know I need to go beat the other team and that's usually what they go do now with that said Chargers did just agree to 64300 pound fullback being their starting fullback all season um so I might have I might need to change my mind here but uh otherwise I think the Colts here Anthony richon that team is going to surprise Folks at least get a playoff Victory uh get past one round in the playoffs so that'll set up the Chiefs matching up with the Ravens in a one5 matchup and then the Browns matching up with the Colts in a two3 matchup so we'll start with a two3 matchup I have Browns being the Colts again in Cleveland it's not that far of a drive for col for Colts fans to get up there but it's GNA be cold it's not fun in that stadium in January um and the Colts are Dome team yes they can open the dome but it's a dome team in that ice cold weather I'm going to say the Browns have that have the Eds on that one especially at home with that defense uh and the other matchup the Ravens versus the Chiefs 51 in Arrowhead well guess what Baltimore might have worse weather than Arrowhead so I think this is a good match up for Baltimore again running the ball defense they win championships especially in the playoffs and yes everybody be like oh well Patty's done yeah Patty's done it with a game a run game and a short passing game in the last couple seasons so I have the Ravens beating the beating the Chiefs in this one so that's going to set up the five seed versus the two seed so the Ravens versus the Browns and that's chance to get to the Super Bowl and every Browns fan out there is like how dare you how dare you do this to us how dare you put give us hope I'll crush it for you congratulations you guys for the Ravens and the Ravens go on to the Super Bowl uh in an AFC match AFC North match up to get to the Super Bowl and an upset win for the Ravens technically speaking um despite me having them as a team that gets wins in the season uh they would still be considered an upset over the Browns so 52 match up Ravens win Ravens get to the Super Bowl I think it's just situation where you have good defense good running game there's a lot of great pieces for this team it's just a matter of figuring out okay can we outut can we put it all together and keep everybody healthy I think is the big question here for the Ravens so that'll give me the Ravens there as the uh afc's showman if you will what you're telling me is we're going to just start in the starting the front and back we're going to have an an AFC battle in the AFC Championship game with two clearly are not exact not exactly of each other it's gonna have an absolute blood bath out of the gate out of the gate to get to yeah yeah that's what we're going with we're going with an absolute blood B and on top of that you you also have it to the point where you have it to the point here where I'm looking at it as well the Ravens as the five seed is when they go on their run not when they're the one seed or the two seed like they've been last few years they have to wait to the five seed and squeaky in basically then they go on then they go on their little bit of run they get the Redemption against the Chiefs and then they get one over on the former Ravens or I guess as the old BR over the you want to slice it so you as the fifth seed is when you have the Ravens get making the Run yeah absolutely I I think it's a situation where the Ravens are a team built to make a run late and they're just I think at the end of the day regular season teams are are good but I don't think the Ravens are a regular season team and that's what I I think the difference is here they're built to win in the cold months everybody complains because Lamar doesn't throw the ball outside the numbers name me a Super Bowl quarterback in the Super Bowl who has thrown it outside of the numbers every single time there hasn't been in the last 10 years every time a super a quarterback plays in Super Bowl no matter how prolific their arm is their running game and their short passing game and their mid middle of the field game passing has always been where they've made the difference if you think back to the 49ers losing what type of pass did they lose on it was a pass deep down the center of the field that Jimmy Garoppolo couldn't connect with his receiver the center not the sidelines and guess who who roams the center for the Ravens that's right Mark Andrew and I will also add Isaiah likeley let's not forget how good he was last season in Mark Andrew's absence he steps in as a number two and a solid number two to go with that run game if every if every play doesn't start with an RPO option I I'm I'm gon to be shocked but I do think this is a situation where the Ravens just have too many weapons to not at least be considered a strong threat and the only threat in my eye is that I think Rivals will Chiefs so uh this is that's why I have't getting getting past everybody I really think every game is close but like realistically the closest one is going to be the Ravens Chiefs in my eyes uh beyond that think every other game is yeah close but they're not they're close by score but not necessarily close on the in in the actual eye eye test absolutely the Ravens go on on the Redemption tourway to take a look at what we have for the AFC standings as well so yeah the Colts getting by the Chargers the first time and then going against the Browns too that's a very interesting match up because like you said an a dome team versus an outdoor team in that case the Dome team is built to run the ball but it is outside if I'm not mistaken so that's a that's kind of an interesting match up that you had there as well yeah yeah and I do want to point out there is a difference from what I said for the playoffs and what's actually on here um the Chargers are the six seed let's see no that's right never mind my bad I was looking at the wrong thing I was looking at the wrong number I was just having myself a moment my bad I'm so shocked that I picked the Ravens that I just had myself a moment what I'm curious about too is for the Browns do you have it is deshun Watson a quarterback do you have jamus Winston a quarterback or do you at this point you saying irrelevant I'm saying it's irrelevant I'm saying whichever one can go out there and actually throw the ball to the correct receiver after running a play action pass is the successful one I think honestly you could roll Joe neth out there and he'll throw for 4,000 yards this this team is set up to succeed on the simplest offense it's just a matter of stefansky actually making sure his quarterback knows to use his weapons I mean you think about the the best weapons on this team the receiving core offensively at least right now until Nick chub gets healthy and proves he's healthy is right now Amari Cooper Jerry Judy and then David and joku and those three are athletic freaks and and obviously I say that about Amari knowing full well maybe in the grand scheme of athleticism not the number one but as far as actually just having the athleticism to get open at any single point in time in the craziest ways might be the number one I've ever seen next to Larry Fitzgerald as far as how good he is at just separating and creating space I don't think I ever see Amari with guy with a guy that's like within a yard of him outside of a contested 50-50 ball where the quarterback just says Ah amar's out there somewhere every other opportunity he has he has an easy yard of space which is the simplest pass for an NFL quarterback and then Jerry Judy we all know how good he is how quick his feet are he just unfortunately had to deal with dangerous Russ Wilson for maybe danger less Russ Wilson uh and and that's just going to ruin anybody's career so I think Jerry Judy's got an opportunity for Resurgence here for for the Browns but yeah I think I think it just doesn't matter for the quarterback because at the end of the day you have a quality backup running back in Drome Ford you have a really good running back coming back and Nick chub and that defense I mean give me give me 15th on the road and first at home and this defense is number one that's how good they can be absolutely and the last thing I want to point out your twoo is you actually have the chiefs for the first time in a while not winning a single playoff game they're going one and done this year I think for the first time in the patch of momes era too so is there something about them or do you think it's just because they draw the Ravens you think the Ravens are going to roll I just think this the matchup in that situation is is is a Ravens leading matchup any other team I put him up against I think they win I just think as far as a bad weather team goes the Ravens are the worst matchup that could happen for the for the Chiefs just because as I think we've both both experienced as watching a game in Baltimore or near Baltimore it's cold it's miserable it's rainy it's windy it's snowy it gets any sort of weird thing that can happen is there and then in Kansas City all you have to worry about is wind loudness and cold like yes it gets bitterly cold but they're not going to play a playoff game in minus 15 degree weather again that should that probably won't happen so outside of that being the situation I think it favors the Ravens just based off the fact they don't have to put the ball in the air to beat you offensively I will say if it is that if it is frequeny cold in Kansas City in that for matchup like it was when they played the Dolphins last year it's gonna hurt to tackle Derrick Henry 12 14 times and then having to Chase Lamar out the back door while you're bumped and bruis that that's gonna hurt after a while so and and let's not forget how good that defense is I just I have a hard time thinking any but that offensive line for Kansas City and the with the current breakdown against offensive lineman getting early starts and stepping off the line Joan Taylor uh you know I think that the opportunities are on the Ravens side in that situation in that matchup for defensive purposes I think their defense can easily get after Patrick Mahomes and we all know Patrick Mahomes when he's running for his life he can still make great plays but they're not the best plays they're great plays they make great highlights but he makes more mistakes in those situations than he does succeed so definitely don't ever want a quarterback running for his life at no point should that be a descript a part of the part of the play description that is for sure when when your quarterback has to make a horizontal throw to save himself we have a problem and I think all of Kansas City will agree that something they would be trying to avoid in any matchup for sure yeah so we have looking for the AFC so we have the AFC North getting to the Super Bowl on both sides now we jump over to the NFC and just taking a look at our NFC standings at the top Kel's Detroit Lions with a dominant season at 15-2 followed by the 49ers Kelsey's other Cowboys Buccaneers Packers surprise from the commanders and the Eagles just squeaking in there speaking of the Eagles I will have them at the top followed by Kelsey's Lions the 49ers Falcons Kelsey's other Cowboys Packers and Seahawks so some similarities some differences I think five of the seven teams looks like we have the same we just got a mixed matched and Patty whacked all around so we you might have have better records for some of these teams too that you know it's kind of yeah no one's going to beat your 15 and twos that's for sure so mine's low at the top but high in the middle basically decided everything will be a cluster this year there will be no separation but we'll go ahead and run through the what I have for the NFC so we'll have the lions taking on the Seahawks the two verse seven matchup yeah lions are going to roll this one no no worries I think it I don't know what the over is but we're going to be considering that over for sure last time they two these two teams played granted two years ago what was it 49 to 45 Something asinine like that because it was the very start of the Dan Campbell Motor City Line l so we're going to take the lines over the Seahawks in that one Packers verus 49ers we got ourselves another upset this year the Packers will go into San Francisco and Jordan love will not throw a fourth quarter interception running to the sideline across into the middle of the field to cough them the game I think the Packers will find a way to get past the 49ers who I think they're still obviously very good I have them winning the division in 11 games but they're not going to be this last year's 49ers the year ago four they're starting to come back down a little bit and the Packers are on a very vertical Trend all of their receivers are children by NFL standards and really good Josh Jacobs is I think he's going to bring a whole another element to that running game Jordan loves got another year Matt laflor is Awesome As a head coach he doesn't always get the credit because he had MVP level Aaron Rogers for two for a few years but Matt LEF Flor is an awesome coach defensively I think they finally stopped pushing referees at the end of a play and getting personal fouls so it looks like they're and they're young I mean I like Xavier mckenny added to the safety room I like a lot of what they're doing so Packers will get over on the 49ers some revenge for Aaron Rogers without Aaron roggers if you will they F the Packers finally get over the the Northern California team then we have the Falcons take on your Cowboys and the Cowboys are on the road I do think that the Falcons are to get one over on your Cowboys too I I like a lot of what they have I also don't like a lot of what they don't have though at the same time they still have they probably have three of the five best players in this entire match up arguably three of the top four maybe even the top three but I think after that that a lot of it goes the Falcons wi and I think they'll find a boun to get by so we're going to have the Falcons we're going to say it's an upset over the Cowboys even though it's a four to a five but when you look at the records and when you look at what we know the betting odds will be it's going to be kind of it's going to be an upset at that point so taking us on now to round two we'll have the Eagles taking on the Packers of rematch of what's going to happen in about 48 hours from the time of this live show and I think the Eagles are going to take that one I think in Philadelphia though they're secondary but at that point all those young kids had playing time I think they'll have been they'll be a lot more comfortable offensively I I think they're going to have a dynamic offense this year for no other reason than Brian Johnson's no longer calling the blazs and ke your boy Kell Moore's in there I think they will have some they will have some answers and I think they'll be able to survive a highs scoring affair with the Packers then we have the lions taking on the Falcons and every year there's a playoff game that makes a scratch our head so this is the one we're going to have is we're GNA have the Falcons get one over on the lions in Detroit Kur cousins is somehow magically eight and3 against Detroit which most that does doesn't really count because it wasn't the same lines however that team is absolutely loaded I think they bringing in Matthew judon and Justin Simmons gives them those defensive pieces we were like why did you not draft those like it it nullifies them taking Michael penck number eight who maybe he's playing at this point I don't know yet I'm not going to go that far and make that kind of commitment yet but I do think I like what I like what Atlanta has with those pieces I think that adds exactly what the doct order Justin Simmons and Jesse Bates back there is ridiculous and Atlanta is a dome team as well so then I think they'll be able to match a lot of Detroit on the dome in a dome so I think that's going to be I don't know what the over is but the answer is yes that is what we it's gonna just take one Matthew Judah red sleeves or one Jesse Bates play I think will make the difference the Lions defense is exponentially better this year than it was last year especially against the pass but that's still there's still little holes in there there's still little creases where I think guys like Drake London and Kyle pittz who would always find that spot but Desmond Ritter and Taylor Hein he couldn't get him the ball I think Kirk penck are Michael cousins whoever it is back there is going to find a way to get in the ball so we're going to have a battle of birds in the NFC Championship Game the Eagles taking on the Falcons it's going to be in Philadelphia it's probably going to be cold and it's I just Sayang the Praises of the Falcons but there's a reason I had the 9 and unfortunately that's going to come to a screeching halt right now I think Philadelphia wins and whatever the spread is most likely they cover it here this is where you want this is where you have the Squan Barkley pickup to add to the running game this is where you have AJ Brown and AJ Terrell fighting on the outside which leaves things a lot more open for Jan Dawson and Smitty Dallas Goddard and I think this is where those Georgia defensive linemen who know a thinger two about planning playing in and against Atlanta so we're gonna say the Eagles find themselves back in the Super Bowl with a win over the Falcons to take on the Cincinnati Bengals so Eagles get out of the NFC wow all right um I'm a little more shocked about the Falcons on a Deep Run than anything not that they beat the Cowboys I could see that that's the one second one when they beat your Lions I I think it's that they beat the Cowboys and the Lions um yeah that's the one I'm like okay hold on now there's lucky and we know Kurt Cousins has been lucky in his career and then there's I won the lot of Lucky and no offense to I think Atlanta could be a very good team but I think their offensive line sucks was top 12 last year and that's with Arthur Smith and Desmond Ritter a quarterback like that's and and blocking with your number one receiving tight end as well um no Kyle Pitts does not block now he tried he's smaller than Mike Evans he's not actually blocking that's just Arthur Smith literally wasting him that's and Drake London blocking as well but no I I get what you're saying they were good offensive line last year but I there's a lot of reasons to not pick that I get it you yeah I just I don't I don't know if I don't I don't know if I pick him over the Lions I pick him over the Cowboys every day of the week and 10 times on Sunday um and yeah but on the the Lions think it with them being both Dome teams that kind of nullifies the Dome idea but I do think what's not nullified is the get off for the Lions pass rush versus the pass blocking for the Atlanta offensive line and I think pass blocking if I'm not mistaken they were bottom 10 in the league pass blocking and then top 10 in the league run blocking if I'm not mistaken which is how they get the 12th ranking out of all that I believe they were eighth run blocking and then pass blocking it was like 21st something like that um but yeah I I I think they're good I think it's a team that's good I think if Kirk two change is in you have a much better opportunity to win but I also think if pennx is in he gives that extra little of explosive that you wouldn't get with Kirk who's coming off in ACL and all the other injuries he's had in his career his ankle obviously being a problem um but yeah I mean Atlanta's the one I look at and I'm like hold up that's getting to your NFC Championship game obviously that doesn't mean anything because the Eagles are your Super Bowl team but at the same time like that's the one I look at in this in your entire setup and I'm like little confused by this uh everything else makes a lot of sense but yeah the Falcons for the way for the new numerical you actually were close the Falcons were actually the second best pass blocking offensive line they were about they were about 13th for run blocking of the 40 sacks they gave up 31 were attributed to Desmond Ritter's fault basically running or basically bouncing off so I was I was not their number of sacks was disappointing but like the advanced stat shows you were having a negative at the person holding the snap basically okay that's that's a Russell Wilson sack I get okay I I didn't I didn't dive into the Russell Wilson stylings of Desmond Ritter my bad my question to is it for me is I don't know if it will be Michael penx or Kurt Cousins if it is Kurt Cousins I like their chances to beat Detroit a little bit better the old veteran Savvy all that if it comes to the point where Michael penx is out there I still like them because like the same thing you said with the that he does not know he's not supposed to beat that team and he has a vendetta against the state of Michigan right now I guarantee it in Atlanta as well exact well this one will be in Detroit I guess it would be Detroit yeah but same same idea so I think there's just always a year where like there's that trendy playoff team that either doesn't make the playoffs like everyone's trendy pick or they make an into disappoint like last year was Jacksonville who didn't quite make it for example I think this year the lines are going to get there they're everybody's common Super Bowl pick I think this is they'll just like I don't want to say come out flat but it'll just be one of those scratcher once was like oh wait a minute and then you know motorc Dan Campbell get some ralli and I pick the lines that wi it all get next year we know the drill year but but I think it's gonna be a very I'm G think it's gonna be very I think it's gonna be a weird match up I think it's gonna be a weird playoffs this year too Falcons are a weird weird team and that's if they even get win the NFC NFC South because how that division goes that they could be the favorite to win it and then it ends up the Carolina ends up going on a run winning the division at seven and 10 so you know what I I'm not even fully conf they win their division but I have them somehow going to the NFC championship and that's how kind of goofy some of these playoff runs and teams can go for sure I will also add four Kelsey's Cowboys I just I have weird Vibes about them they don't pass the vibe check right now I think that's part of the reason I have the Falcons beating him and it's on the road we know how dominant the Cowboys are at home it's on the road we worry about them so they just don't pass the vibe check for me as far as getting if they get to the plus I don't know what it is I can't explain it they do have the horse the elite players between Mah Parson CD lamb D Etc however there's still a little bit of concern there yeah no I get it I I get I trust me yes um without without a doubt on that and and look I'm not gonna hate on the rest of your picks because I do like the rest of your picks I understand in the rest of your picks they're just GNA be very opposite from yours ye yeah they're they're just G to be different different same but different U let's put it that way uh all right let me jump back to this NFC playoff predictions so we get a good look at this one more time so DJ obviously just recapping here um your Falcons team and your Eagles so you're four and your one so maybe based off of seating not that crazy of an idea um and then you know obviously your one seed is the who advances for me my one seed obviously Lions two seed ners three seed I still hate that I have them up here the Cowboys um if I could redo this right now they'd be at the seven seed and probably the Eagles would be at the three seed um but I can't so this is what we're stuck with so Buccaneers at the four seed who I just have edging out the the Falcons barely Packers as a five seed I think they're a really good team just not good enough to win the North and then the commanders as that surprise team if anybody's ever seen our East episode you understand why I picked the commanders here hopefully don't like it I don't feel bad for you I'm sorry um to get back to it I that means my matchups first matchup here we're going to go with the four versus five which is the Buccaneers versus the Packers I have Buck I have the Packers winning no CH no chance the Buccaneers win I I didn't want to go DJ on this one I didn't want to go the four seed AFC South advances I just could not do that in the heart of me so I have the Packers advancing over the over the Buccaneers moving on to the two versus seven I have the ners taking on the Eagles and I've been hesitant on the Eagles all year long and as I just said if I could redo this the Eagles don't match against the Niners in the first round because the Eagles would be a three seed F this would be a Cowboys versus ners match up but I can't do that I gotta stick with what I first picked because that's how this works uh I'm not gonna break the rules this year just put it that way uh 49ers versus the Eagles I have the 49ers M beating the Eagles I just think it's a better match up for the 49ers versus the Eagles I still think this team is going to be good for the Eagles I just think they are going to struggle if they make the playoffs with no Jason kelse and everybody wants to make a big deal out of the zero Blitz thing whatever situation that's Jaylen not knowing he has to have zero Blitz respons oh there we go and it looks like the state of Philadelphia heard heard what you were saying they immediately were having none of that and slic slic the inter internet to your house for a quick moment there yeah I think D I think Jared heard me and he's just like sabotaging now um but no okay so anyways Jaylen Herz his situation just comes down to bad coaching more than anything and I think just struggling the first year without Jason Kelce I think that's what this comes down to um so moving on so obviously Niners moving out of that Eagles matchup moving on to the three versus six Cowboys versus commanders I'm not gonna go with commanders I'm gonna go Cowboys win just because I think that's just how that match up Works um I don't need to overthink that one too much at home Cowboys versus the commanders I'm gonna take at home for the Cowboys all right now moving on into the second round that puts up a Lions versus Packers matchup I'm gonna go Lions AFC North and goes through Detroit I think Detroit has everybody's number right now I love the Packers I love what they're able to do but I think Detroit got a lot better in the positions they need to get better in to continue to beat the Packers which is corner and linebacker I think they're better there both things and their offense is is healthy Jameson Williams is fully healthy in that receiving core and I think what they're doing is n on stop I think Jared Goff is fantastic I think their two-headed monster in running back of David Montgomery and jir Gibbs is the fact that the Bears ever let David Montgomery go first of all second to the Lions I know it doesn't just you know anyways and then jir Gibbs just be sitting there for him which I yes I complained about during the draft but at the same time it's proven to be very very good for them Sam leapa Monro St Brown I can go down the list uh I think the lions are just really good I think Jared goof is a better quarterback than people give him credit for I think similar to how he had the realization with Kirt cousins I think we're realizing he is actually a better quarterback than we were led to believe by Sha mcfay I think sha mcy just wanted a certain type of quarterback and that's not Jared Goff what Jared gof is is perfect for Detroit so I think this is a situation where Jordan love has an opportunity to win but Detroit's just better across the board and that's why they win um so that's why I have them advancing over the Packers and then in the other matchup it's a classic ERS versus Cowboys matchup and surprising absolutely nobody the Cowboys lose that's where that goes um so yeah that's where I have the Cowboys and then yeah just can't do it they can't beat San Francisco they're definitely not gonna beat San Francisco in San Francisco um so yeah that's ridiculous anyways uh Cowboys fans need to k a grip if they think it's going to work um any so that sets up a lions Niners rematch um and I think this is the one where Dan Campbell gets his revenge I think this is Detroit's Revenge to he's done enough to kind of teach this team how they need to win and I think you see that I think you see Jared gos Savvy of getting to a Super Bowl before you see that come out you see Alman ra Brown Al Alman ra St Brown's desire to win come out and I think you see Aiden Hutchinson step up and outperform aosa on the other side and I think there's opportunities for this Lions team to maybe walk the dog with his Niners team I'm not gonna say that's what it's going to be because there's a lot of dogs on the other side that that's I don't think I really want to mess with Trent Williams or George KD but that's if they play obviously George George K will play but Trent Williams you don't know about um but yeah so I'm gonna give Lions the Eds there they're gonna go be my Super Bowl pick for the NFC so that's how I have going from the NFC is gonna match up with my AFC pick the Baltimore Ravens okay so you got kind of the Super Bowl match up we all wanted last last year going into Championship weekend that we were all rooting for in Ravens line do you think we get what we were looking for this year yeah I think it's I think it's time I think we saw enough from the Ravens la like just what they did in the offseason to get better the play positions they need to get better and I think with the Lions it's it's it's an obvious trajectory they're on the only thing that's missing right now is finishing a game and especially a playoff game uh so I think this is the chance they have to prove that they can do that and from a one seed I think it's hard to not do that you're at home in Detroit for the first time for an NFC championship against the team you just lost to last year I think that sets the stage for Dan Campbell to be Dan Campbell and start chewing off knees and I think that's gonna give the Lions uh The Edge they need I will say too I think what's going to be very interesting is did mention that the Cowboys taking on the 49ers yet again that is going to be a major mental block feels like for sure like it feels like at that when can we ever get past this team and it's it's almost like they're going to be shot enough before they start yeah and they had the same team that did the same thing that got them knocked out of the playoffs two years ago which is Zeke and Dak and let's be honest do you really want to see Zeke on the field in fourth quarter with that giant bath towel hanging off his belt and playing Center again because I don't want to see that but that's exactly what's gonna happen and maybe I'm a pessimist but it's been been obvious to me watching Dak since the ankle injury that he struggles with these type of things like these mental blockades and if you don't know what I mean is since the ankle injury he does not run the ball like he used to he doesn't actively choose to run out of the pocket he is forced out of the pocket and regretfully chooses to to run three yards and falls down or gets out of bounds he does not he's not the Dak that would run for 15 20 yards drop a shoulder get the extra two yards make an impact play that changes momentum of a game he's not that Dak anymore um so this is another situation this is another mental block can he do enough to get over it I don't think so just based off his career and what he's shown in the past and I think Zeke is I don't think Zeke Zeke I don't think I think he is Ezekiel Elliott and not Zeke that's that's how that's that's what I'll leave that at and you know in a running back room with dvin cook Zeke and Rico Dowell and Rico Dowell is being said to be the the guy um I have questions to say the least what what's the most hilarious part about the whole thing to me is Zeke is still getting played by the Cowboys from Cowboys from the first cont not even the most recently he signed he's still getting paid from that last deal so he's getting a little bit of a little bit of a double dip from the C at this point so I'm very curious to see how how they do for sure I think defensively defensively that'll be as well for sure because no Dan Quinn how Mike Zimmer's obviously is obviously a really good defense in mind an eye on that as well but now it is time now it's the it's the part we've all been part we've all been kind of waiting for the the episode we have our Super Bowl matchups we're going to go through who we think will win the Super Bowl the Super Bowl will go through the MVP will go for my matchup I have the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the philad on the Philadelphia Eagles I think it's going to be basically more or less it's I think it's going to end I think it's going to end up being a shootout I think pretty good defensives but I do think it is going to come down to the quarterbacks and quarterbacks and what they are able to do and we'll just kind of we'll rip the Bandit off here we have the Bengals taken on the Eagles Eagles I do think the Ang Les are win and Joe burrow is going to walk away with MVP I do think they're I think the rece will find their way with that SEC through the secondary I think it's G be a much better secondary for the Eagles the Eagles but I think it I'm still G to go with Joe bur find a way to this time it's kind of a battle of the lot the lot the L victimized by the Chiefs and basically they both have been victimized by the Chiefs the last time Chiefs the last time we've seen them in point so I'm gonna go with Joe Joe bur get MVP I think him and Jaylen hers have have themselves a shootout this is kind of their their last as well you have t Higgins probably not GNA be back to get paid Jamar Jamar Chase who's trying to get bait right now and finally just started putting on a helmet on a helmet I but they have to find a find a way pay Jamar Chase unless you're G to try and let him anti him anti hi walk out that I like Jermaine Germaine Burton a lot he's gonna be very useful giki so so I think the Bengals this kind of when they do their best best is when they're written off are almost overlooked as well a lot of people them in the playoffs I I think they going I think they finally get over that hump a little bit bit kind of like when PT Manning finally got got over that hump getting past the Patriots in 2006 when six when they finally got them of the down year so we're gonna say those find a way to get through and we're GNA say the b say the Bengals get themselves a over the Eagles who once again find find themselves just a day late and a dollar short in the big game game unfortunately I think it's a shootout hers once again finds a way to light it light it up we're going to go and take the Bengals to walk away as super Super Bowl champs next year all right all right I I don't hate it um I don't hate it for many reasons but obviously one being the fact that the Eagles losing um two being a fact that I can hang this up with a little bit more Pride uh if Joe is is Super Bowl MVP and the and the Bengals win I think that's yeah I'm okay with that if that's going to be the situation that happens I'm okay I also want also want to point out too anyone who is pay close attention with a cute eyee I I've been this the entire time with the Bengals and the Eagles Eagles cups right over the shoulder I've been setting it up and just in in case anyone for nice little Easter egg so we'll take we'll take the Bengals as Super Bowl following up after last year I'm D doubling down I still think they could have W it last year if Joe if Joe bro's arm doesn't if it doesn't explode basically so so we're down for the first time since we started doing this on picking picking the same winner back to back year and you know what Chiefs this probably means you're winning the bowl because I did not pick you I did not pick you so you're welcome I pick you gets you to the the Super Bowl up you don't make it so when we don't pick don't pick you is when you do well so you know Kingdom we'll take our 1% royalties for the for for the current Dynasty but see maybe you will change that mate actually you don't have the chiefs in there either so I'm curious who do you have winning have winning the Super Bowl that will just be in the Chiefs in a few months anyway yeah so I already said I had the Ravens as a five seat from the AFC making it through there and the Lions is a one seed which I'll just put it up I don't think there's any suspense for this one I'm going have a lions winning this with monate brown winning Super Bowl MVP um and I don't think I could actually pick this in good faith without like actually you know picking a modern aate Brown as my MVP I just think it's too obvious too on the nose to not do it it's like almost people might think I'm trying to trick them no I think this is just a situation where you just pick the chalk pick and call it swell um I'm not trying to be too fancy I'm not trying to overthink this this is what I did when I picked the Chiefs and bucks to make it to the Super Bowl obviously I picked the wrong winner so maybe the Ravens end up winning this as a five SE I doubt it but maybe that's the case um but yeah no surprise that I'm picking a mon St Brown if you follow this podcast long enough you know big fan of am monra so much of a fan again like I have the Joe burrow Jersey it just makes sense I don't know this is this wasn't planned we didn't intentionally do this this is just kind of how it shook out but I find this hilarious that these just happen to be the jerseys that I bought beginning of last year and they're just so happy to come in handy now if I would have done this by my jerseys I would have the Bears taking on the Colts or the Eagles taking on the like gotta have some very weird matches I did that by Jersey for sure but that those are the matchups we have too so before we get out of here though before we move on to the awards let's not forget ad mention we do have the fan vote the anonymous fan vote we didn't go through their playoff run but we did pick their Super Bowl champion Kelsey I think this might be your favorite one we've had from a fan vote much better than last year when he gave you a heart attack is they have the lions taking on the Ravens with the Lions walking away the victory but they gave the Super Bowl MVP to jarro Goff so the Redemption story comes full circle for jarro Goof I don't hate it I don't hate it but I am kind of mad that everybody's picking the Lions only for no other reason than I've been picking the Lions since they were God awful and I had been bangging that drum that they are gonna win one more win one the next week and win one the next week if you guys don't believe me go look at our fourth and four uh page over on Twitter you could follow see any of the old episodes over there and there's a lot that just show you that I kept banging the drum for the Lions and I kept being disappointed until I finally wasn't and then I sold them short last year and they proved me wrong and I'm so happy they did so I'm not gonna sell them short anymore but I appreciate the Lions love but I I also hate it because now everybody's picking the lions like get your own bandwagon guys this has been a a long time coming I feel more excited about the lion season than I do about the Cowboys and I've been a Cowboys fan since like 99 so basically what you're trying to tell me here is the lines are basically the NFL version NFL version for you as well too where you're like you know what it's time and you have sticking with at this point even next year you're picking next year you're picking matter what happens this season so well not go that far but it's it's possible there's a strong possibility it depends on who's quarterbacking Dallas that's might we'll have to see on that one that's for sure so sure so we got some awards to go ahead and take a look at and I'll go ahead and keep mine kind of quick and sweet I'm going to we got Co we got coach of an off Rookie of this year offensive and defense player of the year and MVP coach of the year of the year should have got it last year I think he gets it again this year part of that cluster at 11 and six I think he does a great I think he does a great job Defensive Rookie of the Year we're gonna have fun with this one I think it's gonna be byon Murphy out in Seattle I think he I think he's from the interior I think Mike McDonald's gonna put him in a lot of places to absolutely Raise Hell a sax interior defensive lineman for the first time since Aaron Donald I think is a rookie I I I think going to be outstanding offensive Rookie of the Year we're going to give it to a receiver all the love for the quarterbacks but but we're Jun explodes onto the scene and I think all the quarterbacks will be good but none of them will but none of them will be like what CJ was last year or Justin Herbert a few years ago I think they'll all just be pretty good so I'm gonna give so I'm gonna give it to junr Defensive Player of the Year we're showing some love for the big guys as long as they're not running a 40 yard dash dash Chris Jones I think he's there is some potential money on the line for him if he has another great year year last year they started with a hold out he ended up making all the big plays when they counted you know you know you know DJ Watt he's seen Miles Garett he's seen all these other guys get defensive player the Year Aaron Donald he wants to get some of that get some of that too he has all the postseason hardw I think he's gonna try and pull Poland defensive player I think he's the going for it last year as well and I think he's gonna go for it this year so Chris Jones finds a way to like like 15 sacks and re's havoc on that Chief's defense which I think we both agree is going to be pretty solid yet yet again and then offense of the year I'm going with Breeze Hall I mentioned our fantasy football rankings I think he's going to be outstanding I think he's going to score a lot of touchdowns through the air and on the ground I think I think he's over a thousand rushing and over 600 receiving 17 touchdowns somewhere that range lot lots of probably similar to what he did last year but even higher volume and not having to share carries with carries with d in the season when they had no idea what they were doing so I think Bree Hall is going to be similar to Aaron Jones Jones when he has wers in those prime years too so so I think he's going to be he's going to be a safety vow for a 40-year-old Aaron Aaron Rogerson is double covered and then MVP I think Jaylen Herz is gonna get this one back I think he I think he had it a couple years ago before the injury slowed him down at the back end of the year and Patty took over I think he's I think he's really am bullish on the Kell Mor offensive coordinator spot I think it's gonna help J help Jaylen her passing game especially find different options different reads just different things to get Devonte Smith and AJ and AJ Brown besides hey AJ go dunk on it guy or Devonte quickly get open in like 0.05 seconds seconds with your running Johan doson I think is a underratedly good ad he's by no means a great receiver receiver but he was a number two I mean seven touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie he can play I just think Washington Washington was a mess now he's your third and a half receiver yeah that'll do saquin Barkley I think is gonna be instrumental in the pass passing game it gives Jaylen Herz the option of oh crap the picture changed I don't know where to go with the ball sequan for for two yards dances for 12 I think just makes he makes life it makes life so easy when you can do that I mean I mean just ask James White in the Super Bowl 28 to3 should have been James White's MVP I digress Dallas C Still Still Dallas offensive line while missing a big piece in Jason Kelce I think it'll still be effective enough for that off offense they'll run Jaylen Herz will put up numbers and if nothing else we'll see Patrick Mahomes fatigue a little bit too too so even if I set up the B no we gave it to him last time we giving it to Jaylen Herz and the number one seed in the NFC MVP will go to a top two or three seed at this point anyway so we'll go and just quickly recap some of the awards that I that I had to coach of the year Deo Ryan Defensive Rookie of the Year Byron Murphy offensive Rookie of the Year Year Marvin Harris Defensive Player of the Year Chris Jones offensive player of the year Breeze Hall and MVP Jay loners I like it I don't hate it I like it um it's not what I would have gone with but that's obvious I don't think at this point in time it's a surprise that I'm not going with your picks given how you shake out the season think your picks make a lot of sense for how you have the season shaking out Jaylen Herz obviously being a one seed we all know that the MVP no longer goes to the most valuable player in the league it just goes to the most valuable player on the best team um and obviously Lamar's MVP last year I think we could all say probably not the MVP for the league it's not that he he didn't deserve it's just like you look at what CMC and Tyreek did or and then even Dak L it's like interesting MVP when you look at like statistical per even Josh Allen had a better statistical season touchs by almost double digits like it's but everyone got obsessed with turnovers after starting Monday Night Football off weekend with five of them so I guess they never forget yeah so I I I get what coming from I don't hate it by any means um but yeah I you know just moving on I'll just go Ahad and do mine as well I don't I don't think there's any surprise with your picks uh for me I think I have a few surprises um so we'll go ahead and get to it just going to pop up the SCS because this is just makes more sense coach Dan Campbell obviously uh I have the Lions going 15- two this just makes sense Defensive Rookie of the Year latu I'm not gonna try to say the first name name because I'm gonna screw it up if you guys don't know he was drafted first defensive player off the board by the Indianapolis Colts number one defensive player of the year or number one Defensive Rookie this year should be a top tier pick and it's time that the Colts finally have a pass rusher again and a run stopper because he does both and he does both really well and it's kind of scary uh I do think this is a chance that they have to the Colts for example that's why I have them in the playoffs yes I have them as a three seed that's just because they own South but still I I mean you win the South because you have a good defense and I think latu is part of that offensive rookie of the year if anybody saw that I had the the commanders as a six seed well that means a quarterback has to play well that means Jaden Daniels is going to be unlike your pick your conversation about quarterbacks where they're just average I on the other hand have one quarterback standing out Above the Rest in the rookie class which is Jaden Jaden Daniels no offense to Caleb no offense to anybody else out there you know rookie wise offensively but I think Jaden Daniels has the intangibles to set him apart if he stays healthy and I think for the first 12 games of the season if he can stay healthy through those first 12 games he can win himself an offensive rookie of the year before going before going into his 13th game in the NFL and might sound crazy but that's about the same time that film starts happening you start playing a second time around on your own division that's usually around week 12 13 so if I can make if he can make it there where he is just exceptional that's why I have Jaden Daniels going offensive rookie of the year I just think that works uh you mentioned miles Garrett defensive player of the year I think he does it again I think there's no surprise why the Browns are so good defensively and again I have them as a two which means they need to have something good happening for them and that's for me it's the defense in Miles Garrett I just think he's so good um almost unblockable you really have to double team him you know kind of give him the Calvin Johnson Megatron treatment in times except for reverse it where you have three offensive linemen or two offensive linemen in a chipping tight end or running back and you just hope that works that you know the guy chipping doesn't chip him into open space uh he does this weird jump move that's still impossible to guard I don't see how any tackle is able to stop it because well there hasn't been a tackle that really stops it lately and I think he's so good it's just it's hard to not look at Miles Garrett and think that's my Defensive Player of the Year obviously yes TJ watt is there absolutely a possibility I think the Steelers struggle a little more than the Browns do and I think Miles Garrett gets more of an opportunity than TJ watt does um so yeah that's where I have miles Garrett defens Player of the Year offensive player of the year I'm going Josh Jacobs I think that Packers team is going to Excel and it's going to open up running lanes that Josh Jacobs has not seen since he was in Alabama when he first on the scene ran a dude over in the national championship game and got his name on everybody's book well Josh Jacobs is still that guy he's still that dominant I got to watch him every single snap he played at Alabama because well unfortunately that's what I had to watch and he is good he's a he was a stud in Vegas he was a reason he got paid go to go to go to Green Bay and I think this is a situation where Josh Jacobs should win offensive player of the year with how good the Packers should be and in that same vein MVP I mean the greatest quarterback in the I mean MVP um is gonna go to Jared gof and if you guys don't know what the joke is obviously MVP is a Quarterback Award because last year would have been the absolute opportunity to give a non-quarterback in MVP and they didn't do it again so at this point in time what the last non-quarterback win was a tie with George if I'm not mistaken if we go back far enough and yeah that's so with that in mind Jared goof best team in the AF NFC uh is gonna get the award no offense to Patrick Mahomes who also finishes 15- two I just think Jared go has a slight slight Edge uh in the statistics over Patty because Patty has learned how to win without throwing the top off of the defense Jared gof will just win because he's got Guys open and one of those guys he has open is Jameson Williams who will run past anybody to get open and so Jared Go's gonna have some huge Seasons plus he has jir Gibbs out of the backfield which is a weapon that Patty doesn't have he has a Travis Kelce but J G has a t La pora so they match up pretty well and then at least Jared gof has receivers that he knows can catch the ball um so that's the difference here that's why I have gof as my MVP so yeah that's uh that's what I got DJ we're title wor remembers because you got four get four of the four of the six come from in North you know what I like it so obviously good so good so Dan Campell that'll do it J jarro go 15 and two you know he's goingon to be thrown for 40 for 4500 and 30s again that'll do here we don't bet against miles G we we already know that that no no arguments here whatsoever that's easy Josh Jacobs will be the one if he won if he can get offense consideration kind we he's gonna have a great season if he has that kind of a season actually they might be like a 13 13 and four team at that point if they can get that it'll be like damn it get damn it get the Lions out of here we see the problems we run or we'd be two seed the problem is we're in the division with the Juggernaut Juggernaut at this point rookies I I like both those two I think James have the best rookie season of the class of the group of the group I I agree just the ability ability to make extra plays with your legs Etc and I think the off with Cliff kingsbery let him go nuts assume he doesn't hurt himself running running directly into hit sticks and then I to if he is if you're col your Colt you're Colts to 3 that's that's the pick he he has to do that secondary is not holding up so they got get in the NFL and sacks last year year so they're gonna have to be second at this point when that's gonna be be on the back of Lau which he's the best pass rusher in the in the draft he's the ready to go maybe not the upside of Dallas Dallas Turner who doesn't make because he's a freakish same with J but pass rush moves mov stats production to so as once he's not dealing with ly tunel tunel in week one I think we'll really get to see what he's able to do too so you know I kind of like your suing it the north north is represented very strongly I like that as well let's be honest if latu even wins 50% of the snaps against lery tunel I feel a lot better about my defensive the year if he hits CJ once I will and hes and one other I'd feel pretty good about it too yeah that's fair the like my God that's a task and the good thing with you know for the for the Colts especially uh they have guys coming back healthy for the first time um Mazy Smith being one of them is it Mazy Smith no that's the Cowboys defense I think yeah that's right I don't know who I can't think for the live for me I can't think of the Michigan quy pick thank you um they were back to back years I just I they run together um but yeah I think I think Colts you know they have pass rushers coming back who at times can get to quarterback so I think it helps out lotu where he can slide inside and out and kind of get the best matchup he's not going to be inside every down but I do think he has the opportunity on especially Pass rushd Downs to slide inside and get on a slower quote unquote guard Center combination and use his speed to get to a the quarterback so that we'll see how that goes obviously we're not talking like exceptional speed but we're are talking he is pretty quick for a big guy so yeah I think there's opportunities there for him for sure absolutely kind of in the same vein as he mentioned my Awards yours definitely definitely line up with how the season played out too obviously you had the Norths being very dominant visions and it shows in the awards I mean we saw two North teams in the super it makes sense miles gar is he doesn't make sense and if they're going to be the number two it's gonna be on his broad shoulder so he's probably gonna have to do what he did last year again they are massive like like a building and not a small building either no Josh Jacobs we this is already a Josh Jacobs fan account that has been well established as well so I I like your picks to if you want to give us just a quick recap of your picks before we go and take a look at the fan votes picks and we get ready to wrap this episode because I think the fan votee might give you an urm yeah so just recapping this one Jared gof MVP offensive player of the year Josh Jacobs Defensive Player of the Year miles Garrett offensive Rookie of year Jaden Daniels Defensive Rookie of the Year latu and Coach of the Year Dan Campbell and just ignore the part where this fan at the top this is my my Awards don't let don't let the fan take this one from me don't worry because when you see what the fan did you're GNA probably roll your eyes but it will make sense in a little bit as well so we'll run through theirs really quick coach Matt laflor of the Packers Defensive Rookie of the Year chop Robinson from Miami offensive Rookie of the Year Caleb Williams Defensive Player of the Year Montes sweat offensive player of the year bejan Robinson and MVP CJ St so the Bears well represented on this list and the you know what the North in general too with three out of the six the six what we're looking at for the fan vote for a war so got a little bit of everything throughout here for sure I think this is this is I'll say very unique predictions year for us for sure I think we've gone through every division through every division game we've given you division winners Award winners Super Bowl picks congratulations Kansas City you're about to three you're about to three pick you to get there so you're welcome I should have changed my pick to Kansas City just so we wouldn't have to see we wouldn't have to see it too long and here we are but it's been a wonderful SE season's prediction and Kelsey weird weird and tomorrow NFL season will be officially back do you have any bets for tomorrow's game for anyone who's listening anyone who's listening lot us for 59 minutes and 30 seconds yeah uh you know bet wise um I bet nobody wears that much green on their jump skting well wrong game but yes yeah I know I know but no tomorrow's game should be interesting obviously the kickoff so it's going to feature one of the teams from the Super Bowl and the Chiefs and then Ravens if I'm not mistaken is the matchup so let me give you my guess for a anytime touchdown scorer um and God this one just gets me every time he gets overlooked but Mark Andrew I talked about it in the predictions he's my pick to score a touchdown in this game it's probably going to be him or is isia likely just because Isaiah likely would be the one that just irritates everybody um obviously everybody wants to pick derck Henry Lamar Jackson to score the first touchdown fun fact for Lamar Jackson inside the 10 Lamar Jackson carries the ball only 5% of the time so uh that team has always given it to the running back or they throw little quick passes to Mark Andrews or little stop routes things like that um occasionally they'll run a slant with Rashad baitman or with uh Z flowers getting open so I think this is a situation where you look at Mark Andrews is the guy that gets in there because from about 15 out that's his deadly Zone he's usually wide open and he really wants to get in the end zone after missing some games last year 100% I kind of funny because Lamar has fewer rushing touchdowns in the last three years combined than Josh Allen and Jaylen HST did last year like last year like he's Runner he just doesn't run into the end zone he's he's like a third down back in that he's so dangerous between the between the 20s 20 it's Gus Bus timer this year it's going to be King Henry who might finish through 20 rushing touchdowns in 5 rushing who know it could he might have three touchdown pass heck it might be Derrick hry to throw a touchdown pass to Mark Andrews to get this bet to win or with your luck it will be Derrick Henry throwing a touchdown to Lamar Jackson to
