Hey ladies and gentlemen Anthony, thank you for taking the time to be here. Oh man. I appreciate it, brother I'm just I'm just grateful to be here next to you. You know, I read something one day That said that um all men are created equal And I really struggle with that when I think about you brother because you were just you're just here You know, I'm saying this man right here Is your mentors mentor? Wow, okay, and I'm just glad To be part of this my brother. Thank you for calling me This is what you're gonna see you're gonna see a lot of love here on the show You're gonna see a lot of NFL debates as well mentorship. Yeah mentorship. I like that Yeah, we're gonna be talking about mentorship in and this episode of time of football talking about veterans talking about rookies talking about Teams that are already experienced that could make the postseason But then also some young teams that maybe have a chance of dethroning their division rival But the NFL season kicks off here this Thursday between the bills and the Rams I know that this was in the show notes, but I want to go ahead and ask you Do you have a preference on who you think is gonna win that game man? Um, I love the bills I love the bills cuz I love Josh Allen. Okay, that's the man right there But as much as I love them and as much as I want to see them pull through every year The Rams are gonna take it Really Rams are gonna take it. I think they're gonna take another Super Bowl actually, but we're gonna get there when we get there Okay, who put the cart before the horse. You feel me? So I feel you on that. I mean Well, I mean I disagree with some things The Rams Matthew Stafford is dealing with some elbow problems right now I don't know if you heard about this or not But it they were saying it's not like a short term. It could be like a duration throughout the whole entire season kind of deal No Odell Beckham as well But I mean the bills, you know Odell's bet he was injured during the Super Bowl. He was I mean as much as we love the guy No, yeah, I mean he grabbed a touchdown before he tore his ACL, which is heroic Yes, he has like the coolest hair too. You never know what you're gonna get. You never know Right now. He's going through like a just normal or did he go back to the Odell? Look, I have no idea But anyways on the show, we're gonna be talking about who we think is going to win every single division Go ahead and start with that. Okay our prediction on Who's gonna win each division? NFC north-south east-west then AFC north-south east-west. I'll start with you We'll just go back and forth between each division. Let's start with the NFC north. What is your prediction on the north? I'm gonna go with the Packers I'm gonna go with the Packers Let's see this could be Aaron Rodgers last year and Just like every other year. He has something to prove so I think I Think Aaron, I think Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are gonna take it even though I won't be surprised if like the Detroit Lions Wow, I'm not saying they're gonna win Okay, or take the division. Okay, but I will say don't be surprised or they shake things up I mean, they just got a Hutchinson, right? so they got really young talent on the defensive and and So I'm looking forward to see what the Detroit Lions will do I'm watching a lot of hard knocks recently I can tell just with Dan Campbell and His energy that it brings the team. No, I'm with you on the NFC north that is gonna be the Green Bay Packers I think a lot of people are already in that boat where let's write them off They're not gonna do anything. Who's Aaron Rodgers gonna throw it to well his entire career It's just been Devonte Adams pretty much like you had a sprinkle of You know Robert Tony in I mean back in the day He had great players like Greg Jennings down on driver all those guys, but recently I mean they've been doing a lot and I think they will actually want a game last year against the Arizona Cardinals where Devonte Adams was hurt and I think their second guy as well Mark was about a scantling was hurt as well So they didn't have a lot of receivers. They just threw the ball 11 times to Aaron Jones. They're running back They just get it done and for Matt LaFleur the head coach To make it to the NFC championship for three straight years When people are like you're not improving the team. You're not helping Aaron Rodgers out You're not drafting weapons. You're not signing anyone and they still make it to the final four I mean, it's got to be the Green Bay Packers. So I'm with you on that. Okay. Um, what about the NFC south? NFC south don't don't Like it's difficult and don't do that. You already know I I can't say that I can't say that Okay, I mean, I'm excited to see what the Falcons do. They had a quick little rebuild Right, they did a little uh still going through it not over True you lost Julio Yeah, that was rough. Matt Ryan's gone Yeah, it's pretty bad. I mean What's the why do you I can't I can't get myself to say that Yeah, I mean, it's tough. Jameson just got eye surgery. So I mean I'm I see, yeah Wow, you were keeping up with the little as a detail the littlest thing. I like listen Oh, he got eye surgery bet. He's good now. He's good now 2020 So the Saints. Yeah Wow Okay, who that So is it because of the offense the defense? Like what what do you think is like the best part their offense for sure? Okay, I still got Camara behind Yeah, it's hill I'm not sure Like they converted him. He was Sean Payton's guy then Dennis Allen comes in and Dude He's a running back. He's a quarterback and now he's a tight end. I remember uh, when we last shot this show you were the guest We were talking about uh, Jaylon Hertz being drafted and you were like Carson Wentz and Jaylon Hertz is equivalent to breeze and hail and actually that tick talk that I posted got like 60 000 views It was the most watched tick talk Yeah, just you saying that's the next I mean, it didn't happen. Yeah, but I was I was my predictions were wrong there So it's okay. Jaylon Hertz. He's a full-on breeze and hill. I don't know. That's talented, but we'll see Uh, okay, so the Saints. I mean that's definitely a runner-up for me And I could actually see it happening I'm still gonna have to stick with the bucks with this. I mean, it's just Unless something happens, I know that Tom Brady has been taking vacations and You know, you ask yourself, okay him coming back. Is his heart really in it? I know for Tom Brady That's kind of like questioning. Okay. Well, you can't question the guy's heart absolutely he's made a career proving people wrong showing off his heart and his grit, but That is the only thing that I could see Being wrong for the bucks is if Tom Brady is not like fully 100 percent in it. Yeah, you know Which I mean, do you think that could be your possibility? I mean for what I heard he's talking about balling until he's 50 and I just don't know like We're still young, but we're getting older, right? And I could tell you oh, I still feel young But my bones are screaming. No, we're not like we're not still young and I feel like this year We're gonna hear Tom Brady's bones Show their age You're speaking for yourself at the ripe age of what is it 27 28 28, dude That's that's when it goes downhill my back hurt. I got knee issues and I'm working on so Yeah, I know I I'm 29 so You know 30 is the because your body knows age obviously like 30 the day you turn 30. It's gonna be rough But yeah, I'm gonna have to stick with a buck in ears. Um, even though they lost some pieces on defense Chris got they did and Chris Godwin's gonna be out for Maybe a month. I don't know not sure yet, but I'm still gonna have to stick with the bucks. Yeah Uh, what about the nfc east? I thought you wanted me to say the falcons No, no, okay. Listen. That's where this show is filmed in Atlanta. So we are Actually, Anthony has emceed for the Atlanta Falcons a couple times. Yes. Yes. I have that was a great experience That was that's awesome But back when they were kind of good in the Super Bowl year actually But it was good times, man. It was good times. It was good times. Uh, the nfc east I'm gonna stick with my team I'm going with my g-men. Uh-huh. You heard it right here first. Ooh, daly dimes Giants, okay dimes Let's go even with pigeon tow jones. We gonna go all the way I love it pigeon pigeon tow jones. My man tripped in the open field. I'll never forget that jones, but he's he's got wheels He's got wheels now call him white wheels Really? Yeah, not hot wheels. No white wheels. You want to bring race into this? They're mine It's okay It's okay. Well, if you want to bring race, it's gonna be a race between the Uh eagles and the cowboys I feel like between who's gonna win the nfc east. My prediction is going to be the cowboys Now, why do you say the Giants? Is it just because just because i'm a fan If I wasn't a fan, I would have to go with the cowboys unfortunately, but They're just they're not closers. They choke constantly over and over and over again. Yeah, I don't know if you remember the uh What's it the wild card of the division around? I think it was the wild card Uh cowboys and 49ers when they were coming back and dak needed to spike the ball Yes, so I mean that's I think we're watching that game together. I think we were maybe I don't know I watch a lot of games with a lot of people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but but that was crazy the time management there was very poor Yeah, I don't know what was up. I don't I think mike mccarthy had a plan and then I don't know what happened But I mean if they won that game then all of a sudden you could be talking about maybe the cowboys could have won The division around maybe they made the nfc championship. I think they're still a very talented team Even though they lost marie cooper michael gaff's gonna be out for maybe two to four weeks or so But yeah, the west the west the west the west The rams all day rams all day even though you talking about uh staffer's tennis elbow Something like that It's all the same I just feel like he's gonna come back. He's gonna come back and do his thing do another uh repeat and Yeah, the rams are gonna take it I've got the rams as well but I'm trying to think of competition that could be thrown. I know the cardinals You never know what you can expect from them. They're fine Yeah, I say seahawks would be a close Really with no rust. I'm sorry. I'm sorry That let me correct you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll edit this part out. Maybe Maybe I forgot seahawks lost Russell. Yeah, maybe now. Yeah, let's not do that um But yeah, the cardinals the seahawks and the 49ers who made it all the way to the NFC championship. I mean this Never known what to expect with Kyle Shanahan. They didn't expect them to go that far But I am with you that it is going to be The la rams before we get into the afc and talk about the projected division winners I'm going to take a moment to talk about manscaped Guys football season is upon us. It's about to be fall pretty soon That means that cooler weather is about to be coming here pretty soon But the cold weather should have been an excuse to not upkeep with your look You should be doing that all the time call yourself a blue collar worker because You've got pipe to lay Manscaped has dropped the lawnmower 4.0 for all your grooming needs Its skin safe technology will leave your boy smooth and won't nick a bit I actually have the 4.0 right here You can hear the good vibrations Running my finger across it. Oh so smooth Not bleeding not at all Now I have debris on my finger Oh use a promo code t2f to get a discount The link is also in the description Now let's transition over to the afc talking about our division winners, uh North With the reigning afc champions the Cincinnati Bengals. Do you think that they repeat as division winners? Yeah 100% 100% Uh, I got all that lsu chemistry on the offensive side the dynamic duo. You got chase. You got burrow. Okay. I mean And as much as I want Lamar Jackson to pull through like I really like him. He's exciting to watch ever since michael vic I would say but um There are contenders, but I think I think the bangles gonna blow him out Yeah, um I think a lot of people may agree that the bangles Them getting To the super bowl last year was Extremely rare given the fact that the year prior There were one of the worst teams in the nfl terrible and People are already writing them off being like, hey, they're gonna regress just because You know the last year they weren't supposed to make the super bowl Um, they had a string of games where you could say we're pretty close and it's like, okay That could have gone either way against the chiefs in the afc championship game and a lot of other games like that as well Um, but I am gonna have to stick with the bangles because I still Believe that they're improving and they're getting better. Um, are they gonna make the super bowl? I don't know. There's some pretty tough competition, especially in the afc west So some people think that the bangles didn't deserve to go to super bowl. Did I hear that correctly? Not deserved because they they won like they did their job like if you win like like the new york giants back in 2007 You know, let's talk about it. Yeah, let's let's talk about it for a second. I mean They were a little bit more of an underdog. Um but They still deserve to win because they beat the packers they beat the cowboys and they beat the undefeated patriots But looking at it in a perspective, it's like They weren't like the best team on paper if that makes sense Uh, for the bangles, they're obviously much better than the 07 giants I'd still think that they are going to repeat as a division winner. Are they going to make the super bowl? I mean with other teams like greatly improving like the chargers and It's it's gonna be tough. I I always go back to those afc west teams and I mean Competition just got a little bit tough, but I still have them winning the afc north Uh, what about the afc south? The afc south is trash, but i'ma go with the cults Wow well said i'ma go with the cults because I don't think matt ryan is gonna pull a matthew stafford and show What the falcons are missing out on? I 100% agree with you that I don't know why the falcons decided that It was time to get rid of matt ryan because they still got to pay his contract a little bit They only got a third round pick out of it, but I mean It's the cults for me as well. You they used they should have kept on rebuilding around him. It's a tough question Eventually they should have moved on Was this the year to move on? I mean a lot of people would have said maybe it was last year. Maybe it was the year prior But given the contract it was just so tricky and I think the way the contract works is if they waited one more year then They would have saved a little bit of money um Given that like matt ryan would be playing this year and you might have a shot but Them trading him is pretty much like okay. They traded him because they were pursuing to shan watson but then also They were like, okay. We got to eventually get rid of this guy. We already burned that bridge That would have been amazing Really, there's a lot of people that say that's not amazing I mean like in in the I will I will admit as a falcons fan when that was all going on I was on twitter all the time. It was between the saints and the falcons and the browns Oh, gosh was a panthers Panthers got written off To the browns saints and the falcons. Yeah, and I have a buddy. That's a saints fan Sean Landry if you're watching You know shout out to you but We were going back and forth like oh no, Dishon's going to go to the saints I was like no Dishon's going to the falcons We were actually rooting for it because we got so caught up in like the hype of Dishon Watson being the quarterback of our team um And then looking back at it. It's like We dodged the bullet man for real I 11 games suspended you're paying What 230 million guaranteed now for Dishon The browns are I mean that's It's kind of rough. Yeah, I mean I don't know but Now the Matt Ryan Led Colts are going to do some amazing thing Jonathan Taylor as well We know is one of the best backs in the NFL a young backs is at least um And so I think I think the Colts get it now. Let's transition over to the afc east um Couple of teams that made the playoffs out of that division you got the bills on the patriots from last year Who wins it? The bills the bills josh the digs That's all you need josh the digs. That's all you need. Yeah a little bit of gabriel davis sprinkled in there as well Uh, just a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit, but I wish I am excited to watch the dolphins though. Okay Okay, you got tyreek hill and then tula You think you think tula is going to be the real deal with tyreek? Absolutely. That's yeah, I still believe in tula Now I believe in tula more than hurts Really? Yep. Okay Okay, so I will say this with tula. He's getting a lot of crap because uh, tyreek has been saying all off season Would you got to hype up your your guy? I make sense But he's been saying like, oh, yeah, too is the most accurate quarterback that I played with Whoa, man. Hold on. You just played with an mvp a super bowl champion like what hold on my home Yeah, but You look back at the stats tula actually had Two games last year That he completed over 80 percent of his passes and the average is like Just a little bit under 70 percent Um, and then he had four games where it was over 70 percent. So it's like I don't think the knock against tula is he's not accurate. I think he is It's the deep ball and with tyreek. Hopefully that improves It's all a little bit in the preseason like a deep pass here and there. Yeah a little bit, but I think Okay, the dolphins I could see it with the New head coach now. They are saying that They want to run the ball at least 30 times a game, which means Tyreek is he gonna get enough targets? Are they gonna pass a lot with tula? I don't know. I don't think they're gonna really like light it up in the past game too much But who knows but yeah, I think the bills bills for sure bills for sure. I think we're on the same page with that Um, I think the only thing that we've disagreed with so far Looking back at nfc and afc is the south you had the saints out of the bucks No, you said east giants. I said cowboys Um, and then we agreed with everything else now. This is the toughest division to predict. It was it was The afc west who you got? I mean Who do you want to see or who's gonna take it? I'll give me both. Who's gonna take it My homes Okay, yeah, okay. They're gonna take it. That's a fair pick. You got man my man throwing from the side Behind his leg behind his back. It's crazy. Okay. Who do I want to see? I want to see the broncos take it Okay, yeah, they got wilson and I think that's gonna be that's gonna be fun to watch Um, the chargers look good because you got sherbert Yeah, herbert Which is cool and I like their uniforms for me This was tough as well No, okay, so you gave a lot of love To those three teams, but you didn't mention the raiders. Do the raiders have a shot? No They made the playoffs last year. They beat the chargers to beat to make it to the postseason Without their head coach. It was a fluke with like their star receiver Yeah Could be a fluke. It was a close game Could have gone either way, but uh, yeah, it was without their head coach It was without their star receiver having off the field issues. Uh, the first round picks I think another cornerback got released damon arnett, so I don't know. I mean, but I'm with you. I don't think it's the raiders I love the raiders. You just want to fight for them. You just wanted to fight for them. No, I did. I did. I wanted a Uh fight for raider nation that's watching this right now I'm gonna have to actually have to go with the chargers on this. I think Bahomes losing Tyree kill Is pretty big Yeah, now I think travis kelsie in that sense is gonna get like I think he's gonna break break these postseason record not postseason single season record For receptions by tight end like he's just gonna get targeted So much. I don't know what they got juju and and mbs and all them, but Chargers just man when they had that offseason In free agency, they just added a lot of freaking pieces man. They got khalil mack that they traded for Uh, jc jackson was the interception leader for the patriots last year And another underrated defensive lineman sebastian joseph day And they added on to their offensive line as well I think it's just set up for them to for a nine and eight team last year that was just One or two plays away from making the playoffs Added a lot of these pieces. I mean you're talking about Especially a little mack like you said so you think you think the chargers are gonna take it. I do I'm a big chargers believer this year And if I had to pick a super bowl Team from the afc it would be the chargers. I'm probably being a little bit optimistic with the A little bit over optimistic with the broncos. I just always go for the sleepers Always go for the sleeper. Don't sleep on the broncos. No, they got wilson That's gonna be that's gonna be dope and the broncos man, like they were just one quarterback away from Having a great team like their defense is good They've got the weapons and courtland Sutton jerry judy You've got the backs and givante williams and melvin gordon It was just a quarterback play of drew lock and all those guys that were playing last year that Didn't really do anything and now you have russia wilson who's going to bring consistency Yeah, the broncos could definitely play spoiler But yeah, that is our Predictions again to recap We had the nfc. I had the packers bucks cowboys rams. Anthony has the packers saints Giants rams And then the afc For both of us. It's the bangles colton bills. We agreed on but for the west got the chiefs I got the chargers We encourage you guys to leave your comments down below. Let us know who you guys have winning those divisions To kind of wrap it up now We've got the mvp. So we go from teams to player predictions. Okay I I I asked you to mention maybe One or two candidates like who do you think is gonna take it and then maybe like two or three other runner-ups Okay Let's see. Let's see. Um, I would have to say I can't believe i'm saying this. I cannot believe i'm saying this. I think uh a runner-up Would be matt ryan Yep Whoa, hold up. Okay. Let me hear you out Dinen it. Ninen it. You heard it here first Top 10 Matt ryan Yeah 30 for 30 james winston Oh Too far uh, I mean I'm excited to see what he does this year like he has something to prove He has a big old fat chip on his shoulder going into uh, indianapolis and I think the the falcons aren't gonna miss out So I think I think he can be a runner-up who I think Matt stafford is gonna get an mvp because I just I just think the rams are gonna win a super bowl this year man, so Uh Matt ryan that's bold. It is that is very bold. Uh I mean former mvp That year that you mc'd Yeah, you're the good luck charm like I don't know. Um, but yeah a lot of falcons fans We live in atlanta said we know this Everybody was ready to get rid of matt ryan. I mean everybody to an extent Like whether you were like, oh, I am all on board to get rid of matt ryan since like before they went to the super bowl People were saying that And then like a lot of other people were like man I I kind of want to get rid of matt ryan, but for the most part I kind of want to keep them Um, I think with that chip on a shoulder of falcons nation not really wanting him Yeah, that that does have You know a little bit of extra motivation to it and dish on watson like I said earlier Being pursued by the falcons It's like, okay, you don't want me here. Um But I mean if I was matt ryan, I would have like You know, if you're an athlete you can say all you want like, oh, we don't hear the noise, but you hear So Like I just tune them out. Yeah Um I like it Matt ryan matt ryan runner up Matt stafford MVP I like it. You know, I'll even give Joe borough a little run a runner up as well Okay, I'm not opposed to that as well all cubies All cubies all cubies. I mean it's been a cubie dominant Cooper cup should have won last year guys Cooper cup should have won. He showed his he showed his behind trying to be trying to be Correct here. He showed he showed out last year and he you're right. He should have you mean showed is Yeah Ass Rebraining ton of football is edgy now. It's edgy Yeah, Cooper cup should have won Cooper cup should have I don't know why you didn't but you know, whatever. Let's give it to another quarterback that had a Really good season, but not to a player that had a historic season. Yeah at his position. Whatever Whatever we moved on, but we didn't Um, what about you? My predictions Runner up This is crazy, but I'm going to say Justin Jefferson on the Vikings. Okay, like he's just We saw what happened with Cooper cup the offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell of the Rams comes in as the head coach of the Vikings Um And He's gonna instill a pass heavy offense like you're gonna see daven cook be involved heavily in the receiving game Kirk cousins. Maybe he's not as talented as matt stafford. I still I'm actually more of a kirk stand than a lot of other people Um, I do think that he is talented, but his issue obviously has been okay He can't win those big games get his teams to the playoffs, but I mean just Statistically speaking Kirk has everything all the tools to make justin jefferson look good look great Um, and jefferson has already talked about hey, I want to get to 2 000 yards this year And if the offensive coordinator kevin o'Connell now the head coach treats jefferson like he's the next scooper cup I mean you could see a season where he's gonna get 130 receptions 140 receptions close to 2 000 yards Maybe even like 15 16 touchdowns like he's gonna be Pretty good So now did you say that's mvp or was that a runner-up? Oh, that's a runner-up because this is dude. This is a quarterback award Sadly it is like it's gonna be jefferson Who might be like the best player in general in general in football, but You know it's gotta go to a quarterback and I think for me. It's gonna be justin herbert I think he just gets better Every single year. He does look good. He looks great. And uh, oh gosh. Who was it ryan harris? a former player in the nfl said that He played with paint manning by the way He played with ben roethlisberger and he said recently justin herbert is the best quarterback that i've seen play I mean with you know, he played with paint manning now He played with manning in the broncos so the broncos manning like his last year was I don't know. He was on his way out. Yeah, I you know on his way to poppa johns about that point Um, oh gosh the ceo of poppa johns Not the ceo. You know poppa johns had the whole Like there's a whole scandal. I don't know exactly what happened But something happened with a poppa johns guy. Did they change the ingredients? I think so because it tastes better now let's go I always love poppa johns anyway um but no jesson herbert I mean I make stat projections for you guys that are into fantasy football. He's the only guy that I projected to throw for 5 000 yards this year and keenan allen mike williams they're always great stable receivers to throw to mike williams is pretty much could be a wide receiver one somewhere else You have him as a wide receiver too. That's awesome. You have an upgrade At tide n and gerald everett, uh, and they're going to be slinging the ball a lot I know that their defense improved so they might have a little bit more, you know, three in outs some stops herbert may not pass a lot, but against the afc west where the broncos got better The raiders got better in the past game. They're gonna have to a lot of quarterback battles. So I say herbert. I think that's my my mvp And I think that's a solid choice Yeah But that is it for this episode of time to football again Thank you guys for your constant support.
