This is how I’m gonna lead us into this playoff picture.
Jane Daniels, we gave you your first NFL regular season L. We’re gonna give you your first playoff L. and then you can go from there.
I’m going to play devil’s advocate.
I’m actually gonna take the commanders and I hate going against you.
I just believe that front seven on the commander side is going to bring a little bit.
more juice and be the difference in this game.
That’s why I’m gonna take the commanders.
Sorry, G. The Vikings have to go to the Rams.
I said in the NFC the team you don’t want to see in the NFCam is the Rams.
Let me tell you why.
You have a Super Bowl winning coach, a Hall of Fame quarterback, two dynamic wide receivers, a really good run game and The defensive line that can get after you.
I got the rims.
I just, I’m taking the reams.
Oh, this one’s tough.
I don’t even like thinking about the Vikings doing all that work all season, 9 game winning streak to put yourself in a chance to then losing back to back.
I’ll just pick the Vikings since you picked the Rams.
Eagles, Packers, Eagles.
Sawon’s rested.
O lines rested.
They’re ready.
Jalen Hurt’s health is a big factor in this game.
I’m gonna still take Philly because I just think top to bottom overall they can handle it.
Buffalo versus the Broncos.
I feel like this is gonna be a dogfight.
I don’t know why people think that Buffalo just go watch them, man.
That man, the Broncos good.
The Broncos can win this game.
Y’all are bugging if y’all don’t feel like they can win this game.
The Broncos front finds a way to where nobody can get doubled.
So many one on ones and that’s why they got so many sacks.
I don’t know, man.
I, I kind of picked the Broncos.
I kind of got damn it, bro.
I know.
I know I’m gonna pick Buffalo.
Oh good.
I know Buffalo at home though.
They’re gonna be like, oh it’s gonna be late.
It’s gonna be I’m gonna take Buffalo.
All right, Ravens, Steelers, you know who I’m taking.
Ravens.
All right.
Texans versus Chargers.
I feel like this is gonna be a really good game.
I think it’s the most underrated game on the schedule.
I just think this game’s gonna come down to Justin Herbert versus CJ who’s gonna play better at the quarterback position and personally, I’m gonna go with the Chargers.
Yeah, I got Chargers too.
I got Chargers too, man.
Yes, I play a pitcher.
That is everything that we’ve seen.
It’s been an incredible season, but now the tournament starts, y’all.
This is what you play for right here.
Everybody’s making the same amount.
Some players are losing money.
You are playing straight for a piece of jewelry.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
This is the best time, man.
