Did this last year and pretty sure every prediction was a classic 3 lol just a bit of fun tho, feel free to predict whatever ya want but I’ll just stick to the SB matchups.

Nick: Chiefs over Rams - Chiefs self explanatory pick and while he’s been a bit down on the Rams last few weeks I still think he will have them in the SB.

Brou: Ravens over Cowboys - The box v the F game if you will, He’ll full commit to the bits this season and it should be great tv.

Wildes: Texans over Seahawks - Defence wins championships, He’s been a huge Texans (defence) guy for the last year or so and he always likes to give credit to the superbowl winners.

Danny: Bills over Rams - I was going to predict the Bears over the Chargers lol but i don’t think he’ll fully go for it this year.

Coach: Rams over Chiefs - the reverse Nick, I reckon he will be the only one to predict the Rams winning it all which is wild to me.

Greg: Packers over Ravens - I gotta be honest I have no idea who he’s going to pick lol Greg hasn’t been on show much past few months or so (excluding this week) so I’m just going with the Packers homer take.

Bonus take - Nick switches his deep sleeper to the Titans from the Raiders, Brou has Patriots missing the play offs which has Wildes going mental, Wildes predicts the Vikings to make the NFC title game, Danny has Herbert MVP.

All done in pen not pencil 🖊️

Remember prediction week starts August 31st on the show, that’s when the NFL season truly begins.

I'm sick of this show down playing the ball knowledge of the NFL players for the Top 100. Parkins actually saying out of his mouth that his opinion on football means more than the NFL players with his chest actually pissed me off. He wants confirmation bias on his takes and doesn't like dissenting opinions on football when he says things like "I watch more football and care about listing and ranking". I guarantee Kyle Hamilton knows more about football than him and who is actually good because he has to be better than them. Just had to get that off my chest so I can be done with it. Bring on Predictions week.

Hey guys I have a backlog of YouTube videos of the show that I save for when I’m working out. Nick mentioned going on another break. I don’t want to believe it I thought they just took a break after the World Cup. Someone please tell me they are not going on another break right before NFL season starts.

Who wins the title pie? Maybe the SBOBs? Maybe 10 Toes Down? Maybe you!! 🫵🏼 Let me know if you want the last slot in our free league!

I was watching the segment just now. I think Love could win MVP and even climb Mahomes Mountain. I totally disagreed with Danny. What do you all think?

He made a tongue in cheek remark about why Deshaun wasn't on Mahomes mountain a few days ago, and then he made his fucking BUD story about Deshaun. Like, the gift of Deshaun Watson playing for the Browns as a backup is that we literally never have to hear about him ever again. Browns fans don't even want him talked about. So why do you keep bringing him up? Coach is also a frequent bootlicker for the owners even when the owners are obviously in the wrong, like playing stupid when Stephen Jones took a shot at Micah. Coach is honestly ruining the show for me, and I may just watch on the Greg weeks because he never fails to say something just fucking atrocious.

I love how much Danny loves the Bears, as a Bears fan myself. However, I do think outside of Bears talk, JMac can add tremendous value as he is more versatile. Imagine Danny and JMac debating Thunder vs Spurs (Danny loves the Thunder and JMac loves the Spurs). I also think bringing JMac to a similar role as coach and Greg would make the Chiefs debates very interesting between Nick and JMac. I hope FS1 considers this!

Edit: I don't want to replace anyone from the show I am just suggesting bringing in a new personality that has proven to be extremely effective on the same network.

Honestly, Ben Johnson may be the Lebron James of playcalling? I get that hes a bears fan but this just seems either uber delusional, or purely performative and inauthentic

Its magnitude worse than wildes pats talk or nicks chiefs talk.

Nick lucked into his hometown team having an atg qb and atg team just as his media career took off. Looks like danny is trying to double triple down, hoping caleb and the bears end up being the same thing

I think danny has been a good addition to the cast and is fairly logical most of the time. But the way he goes off on the deep end with his guys, herbert, caleb etc, is just totally irrational. Again, its on a different level to what nick and wildes do. Just destroys his credibility imo, even within the ftf world

While I couldn't find the exact segments of the AJ Brown saga, I do remember that Wildes didn't necessarily like the drama he caused.

Additionally, Wildes is by far the most pro-Hurts guy on the show and has claimed for years that he does not get the respect he deserves. He loves Hurts' winning ability, leadership, and was the main pro-Eagles guy despite all the turmoil they had all season, including the horrific halves of football. Famously, Wildes is also Mr. QB Wins.

To take all that and say AJ Brown, a guy who has said and demonstrated time and time again that "I don't care about the wins, I want my numbers," will be happy if Drake Maye sticks to the press conference he had about throwing it to the open man is an asinine opinion.

Whether it be the Panthers in the regular season in 2024, the Packers wildcard game, or even after the SB, Brown repeatedly showcased that he's all about the numbers. Brown and Hurts were good friends, whose relationship soured over this issue. To say that AJ won't have those issues because he had a Pats jersey as a kid and he liked Vrabel is truly doing a MIB-esque memory zap regarding everything related to Philly over the last 2 seasons.

Nick has had his homer moments, but in some convoluted way, some of them have made sense (I guess bears to the SB is a bigger homer moment). This one seems like an "unacceptable opinion", and makes me wonder if the show might just have too many homers now (Nick, Wildes, Danny).
