[Music] hello everybody and welcome to week one of the National Football League thank you for joining us here on the Kelly Green hour I'm your host LG harell and as always I am joined by my co-host Conor Donald Connor we finally made it this long hot summer is we're in September now I'm happy I'm I'm glad this long hot summer is over and let's get to some real games not that preseason crap we had to watch the last couple of weeks let's get the games that account and let's see if this philadelph Eagles team has been able to turn the page how you doing bud I'm doing great man I I am so excited it it's so long and like I always tell myself I'm going to watch all this preseason football and react and and talk about it and at the end of the day I watch some of it and not all of it and it's it's really like from like you know 10 years ago it has just gotten so much harder to watch that definitely you can you can definitely tell the NFL is trying to get rid of preseason games they would like to obviously when they go to 18 games they're going to go down to two preseason games um and I think if the NFL had it their way they just wouldn't do it but obviously they're going to pay for what is it 10 10 home games now I think you get when you combine uh regular season and preseason so they're still charging um I don't know if it got to the point there were no preseason games I don't think that like these joint practices I don't teams aren't going to want them televised because in those joint practices you can actually like put plays out there that you're not going to do in a preseason game if you want to so it's definitely going to be intriguing to see how things go in the future as the the preseason games start to dissipate yeah no I agree with you and I think you still need a couple because there are like we saw like a guy like Thomas Booker colle preseason no but like a guy like Thomas Booker was never making the roster without the preseason that he had so like there's guys who get the opportunity so I almost think you know you have to have a pre I think I mean College rosters are a lot larger to begin with so you can carry a lot more I if I'm not mistaken so I mean ultimately you you could do it that way in the NFL where you have larger rosters but I don't think that makes a whole lot of sense I think there's a reason to have a couple games and give some guys a chance who have maybe been shining and might be able to usurp somebody on the roster but it will be interesting to see what happens I mean am I going to watch much of it not really but I I get enough of it to know what's going on I I know we we we're glutton for punishment when it comes to preseason football but now we're here we got a 53 man roster we have a practice squad and we are heading towards a game that it seems like no Eagles player actually wants but it's gonna happen so here we are week one in Brazil we're gonna talk about that I think that's a little overblown but before we get started as always follow us on Twitter at Kelly Green hour follow Connor on Twitter Conor 10 follow me on Twitter LJ 54 and follow Ed Phil Sports on Twitter YouTube and Facebook Connor mentioned it we have a 53 man roster um so for this episode we are gonna get through a lot in this hour or so that that we're GNA talk to you guys we're gonna talk briefly touch on the roster give our predictions of each division playoff teams and who our Super Bowl matchup is and then jump into the Packers game and give our um our predictions for that which we will do every week like we did um last year last year was a little different we had things happen to where we couldn't um do a show every um week or you know one of us wasn't here um but we're we're hopeful that this this year we'll be able to get all 17 of our predictions and and see who the uh see who the winner is at the end all right Conor you mentioned it the 53 man roster um what was your biggest surprise was there a surprise for you um that came about for me honestly there wasn't really a surprise Thomas Booker making it I'm yes and no a little surprised them claiming Byron young and getting rid of Martin tuo lopu who ended up signing to the Chiefs practice squad that was a little bit of a surprise um and it's not the Brian Young from the University of Tennessee it's the Brian Young from the University of Alabama and one from the University of Tennessee was good last year for the Rams I think he had like eight or so sacks this um Brian Byron young had like four tackles and played in like six games I think for the Raiders um I think that this may have been more of they need they're gonna play a lot of like it's primarily a three four defense we can call it I don't think they had a true nose tackle behind Jordan Davis and I think I'm not 100% sure but I think that's what they hope Byron young can be um you know to help spell Jordan Davis a little bit in the middle of that defensive line your thoughts yeah I mean I think my big my thought was like the Dylan McMahon not making the roster I felt was kind of no backup center really like I mean I guess like whatever you can say Keegan can move in Tyler Steen can move in like but they don't didn't really take like a true backup that they used I think McMahon is going to be called up from the practice squad well he's I think he'll be called up and eventually he ends up making the roster but the fact that he didn't make the original 53 man was would have been my surpris I was kind of saying Thomas Booker would make it from like week one I was like I mean we don't have a whole lot of depth here at defensive tackle if he can continue to do it and then after week two I was like man he's locked and and I know I remember that episode you thought it was a little crazy that I had him locked but I was like we just don't have that much behind and it goes to show you we didn't have much there when they moved on from Marland tudo for Byron young just like that I completely unproven for my third round pick so granted he had a pretty prolific collegiate career and he came in and after one season with the Raiders completely disappointed to the standards that they were hoping um so maybe the E the Eagles are hoping to pick up the pieces from that career at Alabama and and turn him into something as a depth rotation piece in this defense who knows but that was a bit of a surprise move too but I think the biggest surprise to me was like cam Jurgens is taken over for the first time ever and you have no real backup center like that kind of surprised me I thought they would go it felt surprising in general how heavy they went defensively versus offensively because usually we see them a little more balanced or even a little heavier offensively just purely because of that offensive line and how much we know they like to protect some of those offensive line pieces but most made it through waivers made it back on their on the practice squad so clearly you know how he how he made a lot of the right decisions well I mean I guess that's yet to be fully seen but he made the right decisions in so far as they all cleared waivers and he was able to get back who he probably wanted to get back yeah the one big one I'm surprised that they didn't bring Josh Joe back unless they tried to and he just didn't want to um he ended up going and signing with Seattle's practice squad you mentioned it they signed 28 kept 28 on defense 22 on offense and again I I mean in my prediction I said 25 of each I got 49 of 53 right I think um and I have Al had Steen but then I thought Steen would start on the IR and he he made the the active roster so um there's that and they kind of went light on the inside I think um of the offensive line they have a lot of tackles um they don't really like you mentioned we already mentioned they only have the one true Center in in Jurgens McMahon will probably get the call up you know the first couple of weeks before signing to the practice squad on the defensive side of the ball um I had James Bradberry making the team you did not and then of course first practice he gets hurt in out like eight weeks so there's that um now they're really light at the safety position um you know we know CJ GJ read blankin ship ion Maddox can probably play back there a little bit um they have Kaden Sterns on the practice squad if I'm not mistaken um they have trist McCullum that made it yeah trist McCullum made I and I think we both may have had him on the roster um Sydney Brown's gonna start on pup so he's um he has said that like he's he's going to be ready to go once he that that four weeks is up which they have the by week week five so he's he he'll be able to play a fifth game of the season um which after the buy I believe is the Cleveland Brown so getting him back um will be I think will help the secondary um with with depth at the safety position so I think that they're light at the safety position so that will be intriguing and we know that CJ GJ has injury issues Reed Blankenship had some injury issues last year so so hopefully crossing fingers um they don't have any issues there when it comes to injuries at the safety position no I agree they they they're definitely light there I just think that they're going to lean a lot into the versatility of players and that's kind of how they're going to work the middle of the field and especially the safety position so I think like I mean we we all react like they're really light there but how they're going to operate there is probably going to be different than what we're used to and will allow like a Cooper to get in there a bit Sydney Brown when he comes back McCullum will get mixed in there Maddox will get mixed in there Bradberry when he's healthy will probably get mixed in there so there's enough pieces there that they'll be able to mix and match and and probably make it work because I think I said it on that last episode CJ GJ and Reed blankin chip as much as we may LOE Reed blankin chip um on this show he those two guys are likely going to be on the field 80% or more of the time and you're not really going to have to worry about the backup safety to unless injuries happen we're probably not really going to have to worry about the safety position unless those injuries happen because I think that they have all the faith in these two guys being the guys that can run that safety position for as many snaps as necessary well it is a concern with the say with the injury thing though because I think what C played two games last year um so it's definitely a concern we cross our fingers he got hurt two years ago when he was with the eagle still led the league in interception but missed like six or seven games so it definitely is a concern any other position that stood out or any other player stood out on either side of the ball before we um jump over to our predictions um I mean I'm just looking through like not really nothing was really surprising I felt and obviously because they went more on the defensive side of the ball I felt they would give another wide receiver a chance and again they're rolling with five wide receivers of course Paris Campbell came back on the prce Squad he would be my likely call up as a backup wide receiver like a six wide receiver that may come up and down um so I mean it was a little surprising there but clearly they're putting all their marbles in based on the contract extensions with brown Smith and then the trade for dots and they're putting all the marbles and these guys are going to be on the field almost all the time as well and we're not going to see Johnny Wilson Briton cvy or whoever we call up from the practice squad we're not going to see them out there very much bying injuries of course um but I mean it it is I mean it'll be interest I mean I'm more confident that if Browner Smith goes down and has to miss a game or two I'm more confident with Jan Dodson stepping up than quz Watkins stepping up um so I mean at least we're better in regards to that but we're still really light um behind that and Orin Burks being the first call up when the Bradbery injury happened I mean I didn't I didn't foresee that being the the move the callup move I I didn't think Burks did all that well thought it was fine to bring him back to the practice squad he knew he knows the defense he's a guy that you know he has a skill set that Vic fangio likes I just think that there's other areas that they could have made that call up more more worthwhile and more valuable and they're also light at tight end they only have the two GD and calcatera we know they signed stole back um to the practice squad and they signed jains um and we GD did pra start it practicing again this week so that's a good sign going into to Brazil and they're leaving I think WN wednes so as long as everything was good today you know and get going tomorrow they should be good to go or he should be good to go so hopefully he's fine and we know he has injury issues too so um it's kind of surprising that they're light but like you would think that Jenkins or sto will get a call up um Paris Campbell and Dylan McMahon I don't now I'm not saying all three are gonna dress but I think that that they're the three because you can you can call up as many as you want right it's not just two I think it's I thought it was four four that you could protect or whatever you call it I think it's four okay per week so at least those those three I think are probably locks for this week and then go going forward um we we'll see what happens as long as there's no injuries but yeah so look this is a good team um I think they're they're it's a very top heavy team depth it's a little on depth at certain positions so so that's going to be what is going to be worth watching going forward um and as long as there's no injuries they should be fine yeah no I I agree it is topheavy but you could kind of tell that that you know it it's come in the past like I mean this is a top heav heavier team than I think how he's put together in the past but you can tell that he he wants to put a lot of faith in the guys that he paid and he wants to see those guys out on the field and used as much as possible so I think that that's what we're going to see and I think that that was kind of the concept that he was rolling with is I gave AJ Brown Devonte Smith CJ GJ I gave these guys Bryce Huff I gave these guys money they're going to be on the field 90% plus of the time in every single game unless as Z there's no injuries so I think they're put in a lot of Reliance in in that and and in in staying healthy which is we know for the Philadelphia Eagles that has been fine some Seasons under Nick serani and in other Seasons we've seen it been be the implosion of our entire season so it'll be really interesting to see how this goes like you said this is a guy who put all pushed all his chips in and he's not looking to the next hand you know if we're talking like a poker you know Blackjack reference he's got it all in on the table and he's going for it and if two or three injuries come up to some major players like you said we're going to be having some very different discussions come those weeks but for now we go towards week one a for the most part sounds like a fully healthy roster anyone who was missing time heading into the pre third preseason game or coming out of the preseason is was back at practice today so fingers crossed that that there's nothing to come of any of that and we come out fully healthy from Brazil I always hate these travel games it always feels like you know they're unpredictable you don't know what the conditions are like the fields like you don't know what's going to happen you don't know what it does to the body um we usually see some injuries coming out of those Europe games Brazil not as far as Europe but still it's it's a track and we still don't know what it's going to be like um but I mean we have we do play on the metti field so I guess anything could be better than that hopefully yeah that's true and and a it's not FedEx Field anymore I don't know whatever the commander stadium name is that Fields also trash too all right let's let's jump into our NFL predictions what we're going to do we're going to quickly go through each division um if you have something to say you could say to give your your one through four then we will give our NFC and AFC playoff teams um depending on what time looks like we we'll run through the Wild Card divisional and conference championships if not um if we don't have enough time we'll just do the who's gon to face off in the conference chip and then who's going to face off in the Super Bowl all right Connor you ready yes all right let's start in AFC we're going to start in the AFC West with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs what do you have the AFC West looking like I have the AFC West going to the Kansas City Chiefs I mean that's pretty pretty obvious to me there's not I don't think there's a whole lot there so I got the Chiefs I got the Chargers I got the Broncos and I got the Raiders not much to say about this division it's pretty much pretty much been the Chiefs to lose the Raiders didn't do enough this season the Gardner mchu show I'm not bought into Chargers I mean I mean the division's not that good so I I mean I think that they're the better team between those the the three other teams and then the Broncos I'm still not bought in or there yet with the Broncos but this is a Chiefs and I don't have either of the other three teams making the Wild Card yep I have this have it the same way of have Chiefs Chargers Broncos Raiders Chargers will be a little bit better uh with Harbaugh I also think that they're going to D Harbaugh is going to dilute uh Justin Herbert a little bit they're going to be a ground and pound type of team and they're not going to really want to throw the ball but they did get rid of all their receivers pretty much um and the receivers that they do have kind of can't stay healthy um and I know they all got hurt last year so I have the chiefs Chargers Broncos and Raiders in that order jumping over to the AFC North I think this is going to be the best division in football I have all four teams finishing over 500 um I have it Ravens Bengals Browns Steelers um and I have the Ravens and the Bengals making the playoffs from this division got it the exact same way I mean I I think it's pretty I don't I haven't seen enough from the Browns that's the thing I know the Browns are probably like should be better but I mean this is what three straight years that we're saying should be better and they're all bought in on DeShawn Watson and deshun Watson hasn't really shown much and the Pittsburgh Steelers I mean you know Mike tomlin's going above 500 but that's about all in a division where you've you're now in the what I agree with you would be the toughest division in all of football you're now in that toughest division a nine and eight just is going to get you last place that's just the reality they're going to be nine and eight and just finishing last AFC East what do you have it looking like I despite the turnover I still got Buffalo winning this um Buffalo and Miami both have some big turnover on the defensive side of the football that could make things interesting the only thing is I have despite him being called the most overrated player in football I do have the most faith in Josh Allen so uh I got uh the Buffalo Bills winning I got the New York Jets I know that you know there's a lot of stuff out there I got the Jets I don't trust the Dolphins when things get cold and stuff I'm one of those guys so I got the bills Jets Dolphins and the Patriots will continue to struggle for probably a couple more years to come so this is where we have our first difference I have Dolphins winning the division Bill's finishing in second Jets finishing in third under 500 and the Patriots in last place jets are gonna jets are the worst franchise in football like they're they're just so bad and they're they haven't made the playoff since I think 2011 if I'm not mistaken and that's going to continue this year um and I think what's really holding him back Robert Salah is not a good head coach he's a good defensive coordinator he's not a good head coach and I I don't I think hacket that good it's gonna be that good for the offense now I do like Bree Hall which I have him in two of my fantasy leagues so I'm hoping he's good but Aaron Rogers just can't be trusted um and I don't think that offensive line is going to be good and he might potentially get hurt again um but I have the Dolphins winning Division and the bills finishing in second and and making one of the three Wild Card spots jumping over to the AFC South I have Texans Colts Jaguars and Titans I have the Colts being the third wild card team in in the AFC um finishing at 10- seven but the Texans winning the division at 11- six Jaguars finishing at 9 and eight and just missing out and the Titans are not going to be good will Lis I don't think he's good I know they have some good receivers there but first year head coach um I just don't think it's going to be a good season for them so Texans Colts Jaguars and Titans I add it the same way I and I do have the Colts as as a final I I have the Jets as a wild card team and then the Colts as a wild card team so I'm a bit higher on the Jets than you and and some of the consensus I I mean I and I get why people don't like them and Robert salagre is not a good head coach Joe Douglas came from the old howy Roseman tree but hasn't made the same decisions and the right decisions like hoe Roseman does in a lot of cases so unfortunate there for Douglas because I like Joe Douglas I mean I I liked him and on his way out I was wishing him the best I think the Aaron Rogers decision was an absolute back breaker first on reic without having a contract in place that that too that too you definitely need that in place um but back to the AFC South side of it I agree the Titans are on their way to rebuilding I they've made some moves that make you think like oh they're trying to win and then there's other moves like will Lis but they kind of have to give the chance the keys to Levis and see what they have in him I guess but I mean otherwise they're rebuilding the Jags are kind of to me like the Steelers are kind of like that team you can Peg for nine and eight 10 and seven but I don't love Trevor Lawrence I think he's gonna end up going down as like as overpaid because I don't think he has proven enough to have gotten the contract that he got but they knew that they had to decide then and start to decide then and there do we want to pay this guy are we going to make this move now because if not we're starting from scratch again with a new franchise quarterback type of scenario so Colts as long as as Richardson stays healthy I think the Colts are going to be a decent team defense is pretty good the offense I think can be really good behind Anthony Richardson um with that dual threat Jonathan Taylor there ad Mitchell Josh DS Michael Pitman um there's a lot of good things to like there and the Texans obviously they're all in they're in it to win it so all all right let's move so my AFC team well actually we'll do that after we go through the NFC so let's jump over to we'll save the NFC East for last let's jump to the NFC North I have it being actually no you can go first go ahead with the NFC North the NFC North I have it being in the Detroit Lions I got the Green Bay Packers I got the Chicago Bears and I got the Minnesota Vikings um the Vikings are very blah I don't I really don't know what to think or what to expect they took such a when they moved on from Kurt Cousins I felt that was a really weird move but uh and then JJ McCarthy of course is getting the old red shirt treatment um with the injury that he with the miniscus injury he suffered the Bears are going to be a bit better I don't know if they're going to be fully there but they're a team that could surprise I think they're a team that could surprise I just don't think I'm there that they're going to surprise yet um and then I I mean I hate saying it because we're about to preview it but I I like the Green Bay Packers I think they're going to do they're going to do pretty good Detroit Lions I like a little preview I don't have them in the Super Bowl um but I know that a lot of people do and a lot of people think this is going to be like a Chiefs and lions Super Bowl but I think it's gonna be a decent Division I think it's building up to the next like next year year two under Caleb Williams and stuff I have a feeling like this division could be a lot better um but that's how I have it going for this year I have the same for Lions Packers Bears Vikings I have the lions and Packers making the playoffs I have the Bears being six and 11 I don't think they're going to be any good because I don't think Matt Eber Flo is a good head coach and he's going to keep him down I'm indifferent on Caleb Williams I know he he has all the tools I just don't know if he has it it's just weird I don't know if he has the it Factor if that makes sense um but we'll see I know they gave him a bunch of weapons uh romad dun DJ Moore you know Keenan Allen DeAndre Swift Cole K they have a lot of weapons I just don't don't see it happening for the Bears uh this year but I have the Lions and the Packers making the playoffs jumping to the NFC West I have the 49ers Rams Seahawks and Cardinals um I have the ners and the Rams making the playoffs out of the NFC West um it's gonna be tough like it's weird we know that when you coming off of a Super Bowl you tend to struggle um and I think that this is kind of like the and I should preface this with saying if Trent Williams isn't there that can change and right now he's not there um and who knows if he's going to play this week um and I know they signed Brandon iuk Debo Samuel kind of wants a contract so it's gonna be interesting and you got next year they're gonna have to pay B pry so this is the year for the Niners if they don't do it this year I don't think they ever will do it and I I just don't think that they're going to be good enough or that Kyle Shanahan's good enough to get them over the top to win the Super Bowl uh but I have them winning the division um this year um with the Rams finishing in second place yeah I have it the exact same way um I agree with you on the 49ers and I mean as an eagles podcast if you're a 49ers fan you're probably just going to sit there and say oh of course this is an eagles opinion so they're going to say that about the 49ers and their impending collapse I agree with you I mean how many chances can you give like at at some point like I mean I get it it's kind of like the discussion that we're having with about our head coach how many how many times are you going to just make the playoffs and be okay with just making the playoffs Pittsburgh I love Pittsburgh Steelers how many times can you be nine and eight and just be okay with nine and eight not getting over any other hump so I agree with you Tom did get a contract extension and he I mean that's I mean I mean we could we could talk about the decisions teams have made for a whole episode I would love Mike Tomlin to be the Eagles head coach by the way just but I agree with you on the Shanahan friend like eventually like if all you're going to do is make you you know the the Super Bowl or usually the Conference Finals and that's as far and but you can never make something happen beyond that I mean eventually like you said these contracts are going to catch up to you you're G some of the egos are going to get in the way you almost had it happen with Brandon auk you're starting to see it happen with Trent Williams Debo Samuel similar things gonna happen Brock pie how much is he G to be worth if he has another season like last season like it's going to be so it's such a weird situation in San Francisco um and to me they seem like a weirdly toxic like team but you can't tell on the like you think it it looks it but then they go out there and they win and they play so well it's like okay maybe they're but maybe like it's just weird to me it's such a weird environment whereas the Jets are outright toxic the 49ers are not outright toxic it just feels like they're all like in kind of in their own ways for from being like a true team um that kind of stands in their way sometimes I mean I hope it makes sense it makes sense in my mind but um I I got what you were saying and then the LA Rams yeah I agree with you there the Seahawks I don't know if they're like they got a good defense but that offense just I don't know if I can get behind it and the LA Rams I think this is going to be you know this is starting to become the LA Rams final harah they're just they're getting older and older and it just doesn't seem to be going backwards um I think they're getting Young on the defensive side of the ball they're getting younger on the defensive side they they were forced to get younger on the defensive side of the ball with like Aaron Donald's departure and some departures that have happened and then the Cardinals well they may come around but I mean I kind of get this idea based on some of the comments you made LJ that you don't think defensive coaches are good head coaches so well I mean um the Ryan is yeah Deo Ryans did a great job but like you look at the teams that we've Ted talked about and who you've said I don't think this guy's a good head coach defensive head coach defensive head coach defensive head coach because we all know Jonathan G's not a good head coach and that might be just piure fight and we lost to him last year don't I was at that game don't remind me uh let's move to the NFC South who you got this may possibly be the worst division in football like I think that the winner is again going to be nine and eight and I have it being the Atlanta Falcons the Tampa Bay buck New Orleans Saints and then the Carolina Panthers this division just I don't know if any team's ever going to figure out how to get over like you know get their 10 and seven get their 11 and six and actually be competitive in the playoffs um but I mean I get it yes the Eagles lost to Tampa a couple years ago I get that you know it is what it is and we lost I get it but I mean then they move on and then they just get beat around so I don't know but I do have the Falcons I mean they they made I I like some of the moves we've seen Kirk Cousins I mean he can win not always in prime time yeah you got a weigh it there but I mean I just think this is anybody's division anybody's division but the Carolina Panthers pretty much I have the Buccaneers winning division Falcons finishing in second Saints in third Panthers in fourth um but yeah I also agree that is going to be probably the worst division in football um when it comes to the Falcons I just don't think raheim Morris is going to good head coach defensive coach yes I get it um I just the theme I don't see it there for him I mean I'm happy he's gotten another chance um I'm not a big Kurt Cousins guy um I mean Kyle pittz maybe could I finally have a breakout um he doesn't have Arthur Smith calling plays and bejan Robinson will probably get used they have Drake London um they have I know Jesse Bates and and um uh Justin Simmons at corner AJ or at safety AJ tarot at corner like they do have a young I mean they have some young guys and they have like they have clas Campbell if I'm not mistaken they trade it for um for what's his name from the um Matthew judon um so like their defense should be good I just I don't I don't trust them but fortunately for them like they should have two wins against the Panthers potentially two wins against the Saints like it's a bad division terrible division all right now let's move to the NFC East where the has there's not been a defending a defending division champ win it back toback years since the Eagles did it from 2001 to 2004 I have the Eagles winning the division I have the Cowboys coming in second but making the playoffs as the last wild card yes I know it sounds weird for me saying that the commanders finishing in third and the Giants being one of the worst teams in football in fourth I just think that the eagles look I'm about I I this isn't a preview of what I'm predicting for for Friday night but like the eagles could lose Friday but be fine the the one thing and I was going to talk about I'm going to talk about this a little bit when we talk preview the game the one thing I hate about the Eagles Packers being in Brazil it's like this is a marquee NFC matchup two of the better teams in the NFC and it's and and it's supposed to be an eagles home game and it's not going to be a home game like this is the type of game you want at the link if you're gonna play at Brazil and I know they wanted to be a marquee game because they they want they're trying to bring all this notoriety to the from to the NFL to overseas to other countries and in Brazil but like make this the Eagles Panthers make it the Eagles Steelers make it something don't we don't we don't see these games in Europe you don't see the Eagles and Packers in in these European games Noor games stink it's like one good team and and the Jaguars a lot of the time um but like this is a huge game in the NFC that could have playoff seating implications and the Eagles have to face them in Brazil and what's considered a home game I think like this game like if it was later in the season would probably have and this game May when we look back in this season have major playoff ramifications just later in the season we're gonna talk about the we'll save all that because I agree with you that's why I'm not happy that the game is being played in Brazil week one but I mean but I mean to quickly touch on what you said I have the exact same Outlook I got Eagles Cowboys Commanders I have the Giants being out like I don't I don't even know if I can give them three wins like yeah I can't find a way to get him to that third win but they might surprise you because of week 17 they might get those two wins before week oh sorry 18 sorry they may get those two wins before week 18 and then in week 18 they just get to go all out on some team that's playing their backups and get that third win that might be the only what the Eagles play the Giants week I know I get it but you know what I mean if the Eagles are locked in and in the playoffs and we just should be able to beat them oh well and um Johnny Wilson and EJ Jenkins and Britain cvy and will Shipley like they should they should be able to be the Giants all right so what is your what's your one through seven in the AFC and one through seven in the NFC my one through seven is gonna be Kansas City Houston Baltimore Buffalo and then I got Cincinnati the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts for the AFC so my AFC is the Chiefs Ravens Dolphins Texans Bengals bills Colts and then in the NFC I got Detroit Philadelphia San Fran Atlanta because we have to um and then for the uh Wild Card teams I got Green Bay Dallas and the Rams I have the eagles with the number one seed lions Niners bucks Packers Rams Cowboys I mean I hate being the guy that's put in the lions in first because I kind of think they're a little bit overrated but I do think that they do have one of the better teams in the NFC so I do have to say that I hate that I have to do it but um let's jump to the who do you have in the conference Championship oh boy that's this is this is where it gets tough I have mine down if you want to think for a second well yeah go ahead go ahead so in the AFC I have the Ravens and the Chiefs and in the NFC I have the Eagles and the Lions yeah I I have the Texans and the Chiefs I'm pretty high on the Texans over over the Ravens maybe the Ravens make it over the hump I love the Ravens defense I love the Ravens offense it just feels like they might stumble um but we could see the Texans stumble it'll be it'll be interesting to see you know what what a second year CJ strad looks like um and if he can keep that that momentum going so I got the I got the Texans and the Chiefs in the AFC in the NFC and in the NFC I actually have it be Green Bay Philadelphia okay I actually have it going that way so week one is preview of the NFC Championship Game who do you have meeting in the Super Bowl I have Kansas City over Green Bay I actually have Green Bay me I'm I'm pretty high on Green Bay I think they have a good young core and if this isn't the year then then I'd still be I'll still probably be high on them next year um and and maybe in years to come I think they they're balanced on both sides of the ball um but I do have Casey winning and I know last year I think I had nether prediction right I don't think either of us got anything right about the Super Bowl last year so um and and it's hard to make this prediction because I I try not to be a homer to Philadelphia because I do want to see Philadelphia there obviously I do think we have a team that can be there but um I got Casey and Green Bay I have the Eagles and the Ravens in the Super Bowl so the December first game that I'm going be going to in Baltimore is going to be a preview of the Super Bowl and I have the Eagles beating the Ravens in New Orleans to win the Super Bowl call me a homer if you want to I don't care um but I have the Eagles Ravens in the Super Bowl I feel it's a bad Omen if when we you know in Prior years when we've made predictions the week in weeks we pick the eagles they lose when we don't pick the eagles they win like it feels like an omen to to to put them in the finals but I mean I I mean overall like if we just want one quick final reaction to everything the NFL is in a good place as far as competitive goes I mean you I get it you got your NFC South that's completely uncompetitive but then you have your AFC North which is like uber competitive and every week's going to be so fun to watch um and we have to face the NFC AFC North this year of course exactly so I mean I think the NFL's in a good spot I think you got a good half of the league that's really competitive makes the playoffs super interested in you never know what to expect um and here I am pumping Goodell's Wheels on the product that's been put out there but I mean let's just face it the NFL's done a better job than the MLB look at the white socks their attendance is like not even a 100 people and then you look over at the NBA and they got you can buy championships you got teams that are just F funneling money and I think the NHL and the NFL have two of the best products right now and the NFL obviously buy fire without a without argument is the best product out there yeah well remember I mean I a lot of people used to say the NBA should start the season on Christmas but now the NFL is overtaking them on Christmas because even if Christmas is on a Wednesday this year and guess what there's going to be two or three NFL games I think two games like the NFL is taking over when it comes to um every game of the week it doesn't matter what the day of the week is the NFL is taking over so like every other sport should just wait until after the NFL like we interesting Thursday Friday Sunday Monday is gonna be college football has playoff cfp games going up against NFL games that will be interesting because I love college football not as much as I love the NFL but I love college football it's a 12 team playoff now that will be interesting to see what the ratings look like when you compare the 12 team playoffs some of these Bowl Gam some of these um quarterfinal matchups and semi-final matchups going up against NFL games that'll be a true true test like because I think college football's more popular than the NBA than the NHL than than Major League Baseball gr we we see it now early early in the um college football season when they go up against MLP games but that'll be a true true test of how strong like football is King obviously it's just going to be a matter of like how what do the ratings for these cfp games look like in December um leading into the national championship game in January all right so I have the Eagles Ravens you have the chiefs Packers in the Super Bowl one of those that means probably none of those four teams are gonna make the Super Bowl is what we're getting at so it'll be the Lions and Texans or something like that it'll be something weird um all right week one has arrived as we had mentioned early on the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers travel to Brazil to face off on a front the first time NFL is opened on a Friday night I think ever if I'm not mistaken so so you have the there's a third there's a Thursday game still well no no I know I know but they've never had a a Friday night game on opening weekend you might be right yeah yeah I think right on that so we have the Ravens Chiefs on Thursday night then the Eagles Packers on Friday night and then obviously the Sunday slate and then Monday Night Football being the N the Jets and the ners so what looking at this matchup we know that the Eagles have a lot of Firepower on offense the Packers have a pretty they have a new defensive coordinator um their defenses I mean they got Xavier mckin they have Jer Al Alexander um Preston Smith if I'm not mistaken they still have Kenny Clark Gary they they have a lot of a lot of guys a lot of speed a lot of ferocity on that side of the ball are the Eagles what are the Eagles going to be able to take advantage of to try to to to score points and score enough points to win this game against the Packers I mean we I mean we talk they the comments been made you know if AJ Brown's not open if you know you run down the course like how are you going to be able to defend all these weapons one by one as as the game goes out I get it you got Xavier McKinny who can probably who can do a good job against Dallas G you got linebackers who can and probably give a good run at saquon Barkley you got Jer Alexander who who oneon-one can go up against you know AJ brown but then you got Eric Stokes you got kesan Nixon in the as a Nickelback like eventually you find a weakness and the Eagles are going to have to exploit that weakness find the guy who's just not on their game which could be anybody this week but I think that that's the the thing that the Eagles can exploit where the Packers I like the Green Bay Packers like obviously I have them going to the Super Bowl um and I like Christian Watson he struggled with injuries Romeo dubs Jaden Reed they all showed that they can have really good games they have a good tight end Duo I don't I like Luke M Musgrave and Tucker craft and then you got Josh Jacobs they got a lot of good guys I don't think that they're anywhere as near at least not from an established standpoint near the level that the Philadelphia Eagles Weaponry is on offense and I mean I do think up front the defense is better for the Green Bay Packers but on the back end I really do I I really am having a lot more faith in darus slay Isaiah Rogers kenyel Mitchell CJ Gardner Johnson and re blankin chip than I do that on the Green Bay Packers secondary side of things so I think it all comes back to how is a team going to defend okay AJ bram's covered okay look to Devonte Smith maybe he's open Johan Dodson Dallas GD take one break Jaylen HS in his leg like what how is a team this is the first chance we get to see can this offense function in that way that Jaylen Herz can go through his progressions make the right choices and there always be someone open like we think I think it's the key is going to be the offensive line versus the defensive line on both sides of the football um because you mentioned all the weapons that the Eagles have you know none of that matters if you can't protect Jaylen Herz and he he doesn't have time to get rid of get get the football out of his hands um and then like I like Xavier I like Xavier McKenna I wanted the Eagles to sign McKenna I think that that would have been like I don't think obviously if they would got McKenna they wouldn't have bring brought back CJ GJ um probably not you never know that would have been a fun CJ GJ and Xavier McKenna um Xavier speaking of that Xavier McKinny talked highly of saquan this week saying they were really close with the Giants um and like they've talked throughout camp and whatnot just you know checking in with each other so that that's kind of cool and you get to see the two former teammates going up against each other um but like you you were mentioning you know you you think that Jer Alexander is probably going to go up against AJ Brown which means Eric Stokes against Devonte Smith that means does Javon Bullard or you know Isaiah McDuffy go up against Jan Dodson and that mean Xavier McKinna potentially goes up against Dallas Gard like then which are the linebackers is it GNA be Quay Walker or is it going to be um let's say Eric you know Wilson one of them have to cover sequan out the backfield like there are a lot of weapons on this Eagles offense but we haven't seen them play yet like we didn't see them in preseason we have an idea of what the offense is going to look like just because of the years of coaching that um Kell moris had with Dallas and with the with the the Chargers but I like even with Dallas I don't know if he's had this many weapons to to go with so and look I know they had a lot of weapons in Dallas when he was there but I mean that's going to be fun have and and and it's going to be the best part is going to be not seeing AJ or Devonte staying on one side of the field running like three routes the entire game they're going to be in motion they're going to be moving they're GNA run the entire route Tre and I think that's gonna be and for somebody like Devonte who might be the best route Runner might be one of the best route runners in football like that's G to be huge for him and like he has a chance to go off and have have a huge year um um for the Eagles and I hope so I have them on one of my fantasy teams maybe and I know I know there's a lot of people who are saying like is a hot take which I don't even think it's a hot take anymore don't be surprised if Devonte Smith is the lead and wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles and it can be outright true and it doesn't have to mean AJ Brown Had a Bad season it can just mean there's purely a lot of weapons and the one weapon that's left open more often or is able to get open more often is Devonte Smith which can be true he is an amazing route Runner he is an amazing 5050 CER if I was trusting throwing a ball up to anyone it would be Devonte Smith some of the catches he's made is just outright Nas um but I agree with you I kind of preface it by saying you know I really like that front four that front seven that they have in Green Bay ran Gary TJ Slayton Kenny Clark Preston Smith that is a very very impressive uh front four and we have a fairly new right side of the line in cam Jurgens and maai beckon and we've talked about okay McKai beckon looked really good he's massive but you don't see right guards this size can can Jaylen Herz work that side of the field is he going to have to move a bit to get away from being able having to look over his frame um how's Cam Jurgens gonna look we're so used to it's gonna be so weird not seeing Kelsey Trot out there for that that first snap of the game because we've become so accustomed to it and now it's gonna be cam Jurgens they've to we know Kelsey scouted at Jurgens Kelsey was the one who pounded the table for Jurgens cam Jurgens is there it's time to see can he step in into the role and no we're not saying from day one he has to be able to be Kelsey but he's definitely got big shoes to fill and it's going to be very hard for him to likely fill them in his first couple Seasons there I have faith in cam Jurgens I I like cam Jurgens I like Makai beckon I wasn't expecting him to be the stting Right Guard um but at the end of the day they're going with what they think is their best offensive line but you are going up against a very good front four with two brand new pieces to your offensive line yeah so I mean and Kenny Clark is is really I think he got a contract extension this off season so so that's going to be key like he's not going up against Kelsey is's gonna be up again you know potentially head the head up sometimes on Jurgens so hopefully Jurgens is ready for that battle um on the defensive side of the ball for the Eagles we've talked about it like the one question mark which we rarely ever have question marks about this pass rush are they going to be able to get after the quarterback Jordan love is good like he is he he started off slow last year at the second half of last year he was good and had a huge game in the playoff game against Dallas Josh Jacobs taken over for Aaron Jones Aaron I loved Aaron Jones with with Green Bay so this is going to be interesting to see how how Josh Jacobs is going to to do and you know what this Eagles front four or front seven is going to be able to do are they gonna be able to stop him who's going to cover him out the back field is it going to be Dean is it going to be Bon is it GNA be Devin white excuse me um and then you mentioned the receivers Christian Watson Romeo dobs Jaden Reed um they have Davon Wicks as well like it's so they they have a lot of gu and they don't have a number like a legit number one they don't have Devonte Adams like you knew who to number one if they needed a big play they were going to they can go to any one of those guys so Darius Slay quinan Mitchell Isaiah Rogers key Ringo they all have to be ready ion Maddox they all have to be ready to to be you know to be targeted um now they're tight end Luke Musgraves he's eh he's okay he's not great but you know you you line him up against the Kobe Dean or Zack Bond maybe he can take advantage of that and their offensive line I mean I think Jordan Davis is in for a huge monster year for the Eagles so hopefully he's able to to get off to a big start and I think he can against this offensive line but you know it's gonna be key like is um is Vic fangio gonna put the corners like is he gonna have them playing off is he gonna have them playing up um you know like if you're going to play off Jordan love is going to get rid of the football quick and that's what we we've become accustomed to over the last couple of years so you got to get put you know put the the corners in a bump and run type of coverage sometimes to allow the pass rush to get there because if Jordan loves getting rid of the ball on a second and a half two seconds two and a half seconds like you're not giving your pass rush a chance so that's that's going to be what the Eagles have to do yeah I mean it'll be interesting because we've seen like you know the the wannabe Vic fangio defenses in Prior year and now we have the real Vic fangio defense true Vic fangio defense what's it going to actually look like how often are we going to see like like you said the the different types of coverages that we're going to see how often are we going to see them are we going to see them tied up are we going to see them play off a little bit a little a little bump and run coverage like what are we going to see one thing I loved about the preseason was the pressure from the linebacker position we were getting after quarterbacks based on that of course we didn't have Milton Williams Jordan Davis Jaylen Carter Bri wasn't out there a whole lot Josh W wasn't out there so we weren't seeing those guys but I mean you were seeing guys like Jeremiah trer and niobe Dean getting runs at quarterbacks so that could be really interesting to see how the linebacker position is used in this defense and I've spoken about it throughout the the preseason that I was really interested to see what happens with the linebackers and how the linebackers are used um in this offense so or defense so and the pass rush is concerning we we don't know what we really have in Bryce huff and what he's going to be able to bring going from a 50% snap snaps played to a you're gonna be asking this guy based on his contract to go 85 90% of snaps and be a guy that you can lean on a lot and so and then Josh wet I mean he had Hanan reic across from him last season and Josh wet has this tendency of appearing and disappearing appearing and disappearing can he prove this is a contract year this is a big year for Joshua he needs to prove that he can be a reliable pass rushing option this year um and then of course you know Jaylen carer I agree with you I think Jaylen Carter is gonna have a great season he's just he was just becoming accustom last year to the whole the NFL but the bigger concerns for me are you know we're moving to three four offense this looks or defense it looks a lot different than than what we've had in Prior Seasons where was more of a 4-3 approach what can Milton Williams do we know we want him to be the next guy up in the contract what can these three Milton Williams Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter do all side by side by side especially Jordan Davis Jordan Davis seems like the Wild Card he's a guy you want to do good we talk about wanting to see more out of and we just haven't been able to see it from him and I think if Jordan Davis can start to come into his own this year this front three can be super disruptive and help the pass rush immensely but if it's just Jaylen Carter or just Milton Williams or just one of them on in a given game then the P the pass rush could struggle yeah and then before we get into our keys of the game and players to watch special teams with the new kickoff Dynamic kickoff you know K kishan Nick Nixon for the Packers could be he's really good kick returner um and the Eagles didn't show much in terms of like you know how they made the fend kickoff returns I don't know if they're Elliot is just going to Boom it through the end zone and let them start at the 30 but that's going to be you know the Eagles did when when they did allow returns they they had a couple of big returns against them especially in that Baltimore game so um that that should be something to watch um and we think Isaiah Rogers is GNA return it's gonna be Rogers and gainwell potentially returning kicks for the Eagles we'll see what happens again will the will the Packers and wheelen um their kicker will he will they just or Braden um narvis excuse me is their place kicker um will they just kick it through the end zone or will they just see you know this is like the first week you know Thursday night when it's the Ravens Chiefs like it's going to be interesting just to see how that gets played out like our team's just going to Boom it through the end zone and start at 30 and the NFL I said they have they reserve the right to change rules in terms of that so if the if that's all teams are doing it wouldn't shock me if they say all right you're gonna kick it through the end zone teams will start at the 35 force them to kind of kick it into that end zone or kick it to where the ball can be returned so special teams has a chance to play a key role obviously Jake Elliott being one of the best kickers in the league don't see him um I know like in the preseason his first field goal was a Miss um I don't see that happening again hopefully knock on wood but um yeah like he's obviously one of the best Brer man's good so special teams has a chance to be uh key in week one and and in a stadium nobody really knows what it's going to do win wise because they've never played there NFL wise yeah know special teams will be interested I'm really intrigued to see what the dynamic kickoff rule is like just like just like you said I want to see how it's used I want to I hope that some that it's used strategically and in a way that you know we see that similar rate I get it you were playing with third string sporer you were worried about uring those guys um in the preseason but I hope we see you know I don't think you're going to see an 80% rate but like if it gets closer to 50% rate that makes things a lot more interesting um but obviously it like 20% last year it was 20% last year yeah so I mean even if you see like even a 10% increase like get to the 30 40% percent Mark I think the NFL will be happy to see that because I think they want to see more of that and they know that makes a game more exciting and we saw some a lot more excitement in the preseason the most excitement part of the preseason was seeing those kickoff returns and some of the big returns and and some of the plays that came with that Dynamic kickoff rule so it gives a real chance like you said to let special teams shine and and put their offenses in in a lot better position and put defenses on on their heels right away so it'll be interesting to see um how that used obviously Britain cvy will do pump returns again he he was one of the best pump returners last year so we get to see him again um and yeah it'll be interesting to see how they mixing up mix things up at kick return their their first step chart head Rogers and gainwell um so we'll see how that goes and and and if it's this Dynamic kickoff r ends up being Dynamic yeah um so before we get to our prediction uh two players that I'm looking for I I like to do one on offense one on defense Jaylen Carter he going to be my defensive player again I mention and I think he's in store for a big year and he started off the year last year really good and kind of hit that rookie wall I think that he's going to be able to sustain that all year um you know I'm not saying he's going to be in the defensive player of the year running but you know definitely Pro Bowl potentially All Pro running um so I'm I'm looking for Jaylen Carter to have a big game helping sustain you know Josh Jacobs and get after um Jordan love and on the offensive side of the ball I'm gonna go Devonte Smith uh you mentioned it like Devonte has a chance to take the step as the best receiver on this team and look AJ Brown's getting paid like it he's the third highest paid receiver in the NFL 32 million a year and devonte's um only only making 25 mil a year I wish I was only making 25 mil a year um but I think Devon is in store for a huge year as well um and like you mentioned he goes up and gets every ball thrown to him his route running is one of the best in the league so I'm I'm expecting Devonte like it's going to be tough for Eric Stokes whoever it is that's going to be covering him uh to cover him and if if the offensive line can give Jaylen Herz time uh Devonte Smith should eat so I'm going Jaylen Carter and Devonte Smith um for me I I was debating two guys here and it was going to be Huff or Williams and I'm going to go with Williams on this one because there's been so much talk about Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter and it's almost been like this like we want Milton Williams to get paid but he's about to be an anchor of a like there three four defense is a defensive Edge in it so I want to see make how he p let's see what you got you got J Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter besides you we've kind of like people have brushed over Milton Williams and not really talked about him a whole lot it's time to see him he's got to play these three are going to be so important up front but it's about all three of them in a three four defense not just one of them not just two of them all three need to work together as a unit to help the pass rush and to help open things up for the defense so it's going to be really interesting I'm going with Milton Williams Because this is this is his year it's time to get paid make how we pay you early so that we can save a little bit of money and um and also show that that you can be a a focal point of that front three um on defense offensively I mean I would have obviously went Devonte Smith I think he's due for a really big game but I am actually going to go with Makai beckon for this one I think that it's going to be important that you know we talked about how good the front four is um this Green Bay Packers team and how you know two out of our five players are brand new starters this year one of them is a guy who would not play any other position in New York and now here he is at a brand new position of Right Guard um for the Philadelphia Eagles so Jeff Stalin clearly went and said maai you know I trust you I have faith I like you a lot I want you to do this for me and I will repay you someday by moving you to a rightful spot maybe I don't know how Jeff Stalin said it but Jeff stoutland said you're in stoutland you now I'm going to make you a great offensive lineman I think he I think um beckon had said something like he was in a really toxic place the last couple of years yeah that toxic place was the Jets let's be honest anybody would it's true exactly it's so true but like I mean I could have picked cam Jurgens or maai beckon here but it's gonna be interesting because they're side by side it's not like it's a left tackle in a center or right tackle in a center you have those two who are going to be Manning that right side for you and if McKai beckon gets beat cam Jurgens has to step up if Jurgens gets beat becton's got to be there um beckon also got to try and help Elaine Johnson who's usually covering some of the best Edge rushers in all of football so you know like there's going to be some important assignments be interest that helps beckon too because uh Johnson really doesn't need help all the time I mean it's it is a good thing he doesn't really need help so it is good that that they can really focus on the interior of the right side but it's going to be interesting because I could have picked Jurgens beckon on this one because I we it's going to be it's a big hole if the two of them are off it's a big hole that they're going to struggle and Jaylen Herz could struggle with if that hole is constantly under pressure and collapsing so um I'm going with mikai beckon on uh for the offensive side all right so we're at our first prediction of the year now that we have every we have gotten through preseason we know what the rosters look like uh we know healthwise what each team looks like every what is what your thoughts and your score prediction on this game it's so I hate these traveling games like they're the hardest to predict I mean you go to the most of the Europe games like they can barely combine to to be like 30 points um between two teams sometimes so and and it's week one so you're traveling to Brazil is week one you got the double whammy um I'm going and I know I feel like a Green Bay Packers home but I'm going with the Green Bay Packers win in this one I think it's going to be an ugly game I I don't think like it's going to be ugly in some form or fashion in like big plays being given up offense offenses and defenses that haven't really played a whole lot like Jordan love made that one big play in preseason and then they said all right we've seen enough and I don't think he played again after that so I mean for me I think it's just going to be a lot of like you know a lot of guys getting used to new systems and a little bit of the grown pains um and I think that the Green Bay Packers are taking this one I mean I Pro I'm going 24 to 20 on this one I think it's gonna be close um but that's my pick okay um you know the Eagles have looking at their schedule this is considered a home game but it's not at the link week two is Monday Night Football at the link then they don't have their next home game until their first Sunday game until week five um so like it's so crazy that there's just not you know much partying happening at the link granted they are doing a watch party on Friday night at the link you can watch it from the seats and and the big board so I think that's actually kind of pretty cool um it's not going to be the same obviously as watching them on the field um but yeah that's I the schedule makers didn't do the Eagles much Justice in terms of the home schedule early on um but but at the end of the year I mentioned it after week 12 they don't get on a plane so so that'll be fun for the Eagles but um in terms of this game I think that both defenses are probably going to struggle I think it's going to be more highsc scoring than you do um I think Jordan love and Jaylen Herz are going to look good and Herz I think is gonna look healthy um you know we we talked about it at the end of the year shocked that nothing came out about him getting a knee surgery of or knee cleanup of any kind I'm really shocked I definitely thought that that was going to happen and it didn't um but I have it being 3127 Eagles but I think it's going to be a good game I think it's going to be a lot of fun it's going to be up and down the field um I I don't think it's going to be as ugly as you think I think both offenses are going to look good and I just think both defenses it's going to be whatever defense can make one stop here and there um and I think the Eagles will make that stop but it's going to be a battle and these are two of the best teams in the NFC that's why I hate that this game is in Brazil like I bet you I bet you a th% that if the eag if the game was supposed to be in Lambo and the Packers were going to be the home team in Brazil that they wouldn't have faced the Eagles 100 th% it wouldn't have been Eagles because they think like eagles Packers Lambo field should be this big spectacle just like eagles Packers at Lincoln Financial Field should be a spectacle but it's not it's in Brazil so I have the Eagles winning 3127 you have the Packers winning 2420 yeah I mean I think it's gonna be a good game I'm just glad that you know football's back here we go buckle up let's you know we're we're we the Eagles media isn't going to overreact to game one I mean well fortunately they can't tweet in Brazil so we don't have to worry about that because this is true this is true they cannot so we just we'll get it in this whole flood of things on like Sunday when they all come back Sunday morning or when they all get back from their flights I don't know if they're going to leave right away but you know Saturday or Sunday we're just going to get a flood of overreaction just to ruin use like a VPN or something I don't know how it's going to work but apparently like so I don't know if it's just there's major there's major penalties if you're caught yeah like $10,000 a day you can get fine 10,000 a day and there's also these these issues with the wild wild fires um and whatnot so I I it's probably not the best time to be playing in Brazil but who cares they're gonna play we have to get over it at least Sunday like Sunday can be an a Sunday Ticket day or NFL Red Zone day uh no stressing about the Eagles so so that'll be good our final thoughts before we finish up let's go I'm ready I am so ready for this I cannot wait this I think it's gonna be a good season like I said my favorite professional sport and there's like like you can forget about tiers two through like nine like the NFL is there tier one and then tier 10 can be whatever they they always put out before they always put out like the top 100 shows watched per year like 95 of them shows are NFL games it's crazy like this year might be different because there's in in the US there's the Pres we have the election coming up so the debate the debate will be highly you know watched but like no other sport like an NFL preseason game does higher ratings than a than a than a World Series game or does higher ratings than a than an NBA Finals game that's how much NFL is K in
