SportsTranscript
00:00We have all the opponents, we know the home and road situation, we just know dates, okay?
00:05We'll know that until next month.
00:07And we all, of course, we reserve the right to change our picks.
00:10This is just a very rudimentary first dive into the schedule.
00:15I know I've already given out a prediction, I don't remember what it was, but that's fine, it doesn't matter.
00:20I think maybe it was like 9-8 or something, I don't know.
00:22Is this the first semi-official prediction that we're giving for 2026?
00:25I know I've already given a prediction, but I'm going to update it.
00:30When you said this is the first time, I feel like we gave one.
00:32I think I might have given one either pre- or post-free agency.
00:36But maybe that's not official, it's not in Valdez now keeps the bet books.
00:40Whatever, we're going to do three or four of them.
00:43As you get more information, you should be able to hone in, right?
00:48One way or the other.
00:49Once we get the schedule and figure out the dates, the times, the games where we have short weeks, you're
00:57going to change your picks.
00:58I think also as they sign more free agents, we see how the roster officially shapes up.
01:03I think your opinions could change.
01:05We see how maybe there are injuries that happen in camp.
01:07Who knows?
01:08A lot of things can happen.
01:10But I know I gave a record prediction within the last couple months.
01:14I think I gave one when the opponents came out.
01:17But I'm happy to update it based on the free agency and the draft.
01:21Very happy.
01:21You want to go through, you want to start, let's go around the room.
01:24We'll do home opponents.
01:26You want to do that?
01:27Yep.
01:27We'll just go in order.
01:29Dallas first at home.
01:32Well, I just...
01:33You're just going to put like a split or something?
01:35I just have them splitting in the division, so I'll say win there.
01:38Win at home, JP?
01:40Yeah, I'll also say a win.
01:42Yeah, I'm going to say a win.
01:43I think it's a clean win.
01:44I'll take that back.
01:45They're going to lose to Dallas.
01:46Dallas is a better team.
01:47Dallas is a better team.
01:47Okay.
01:48Dallas is a better team.
01:49All right.
01:50I'm not convinced of that.
01:52All right, Giants.
01:53Giants at home.
01:54Win at home.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Dub.
01:57Two dubs in the division.
01:58JP?
01:59Right out of the gate.
02:00Win.
02:00I'm going to say win.
02:02All right, Philly.
02:03Jason?
02:04Loss.
02:06I'll go loss.
02:08Yeah, I'll be cliche and go lost.
02:10Okay.
02:11I'll have a home win.
02:12All right.
02:13I'll say it while you guys are sagging.
02:14You got them going 3-0 in the division at home.
02:16I do.
02:17Okay.
02:17I like it.
02:18It's not unreasonable.
02:19I reserve the right to change these picks.
02:22We're in freaking April at this point.
02:24Of course.
02:24Okay.
02:25There's a lot of runway between now and then.
02:27Yeah, I think we've got a greatly improved defense.
02:29We'll see how the offense is.
02:31All right.
02:31Seattle.
02:32Seattle at home.
02:34Defending chance.
02:35I've got loss.
02:37I've got them taking an L to the fighting Sam Darnold's.
02:42Mm-hmm.
02:43It's hard not to go loss, but I'll say a surprise win.
02:47I'll go loss.
02:48I'll go pay respect.
02:49Javi, how does Seattle?
02:51I feel like they've lost some pieces.
02:52No, but how does Seattle travel when they have to go west coast to east coast?
02:56How do they play usually?
02:57Well, last year we came to Northwest Stadium and demolished it.
03:00They traveled pretty well last year.
03:03The travel didn't seem to affect Seattle too much.
03:06That was a horrible team.
03:06They're a very good team.
03:07I'll defer to them.
03:08But historically.
03:09We did fine.
03:09We did fine.
03:10That game was all drubbing.
03:11Yeah.
03:12I'll defer to them.
03:13I actually can't remember the last time we lost here in D.C.
03:16Oh, look.
03:17Puffing out.
03:18I mean, every time I think about it.
03:19I like it.
03:19I like this.
03:20So I've got them.
03:21Playoffs, regular season.
03:23And then, all right, so Rams.
03:24I've got a loss against the Rams.
03:26I think they're going to take an L to the Rams.
03:28Likewise.
03:28That offense is just overpowering.
03:32If Pook is there and his head is on straight.
03:35That's a big question for them.
03:36I'll buy a loss.
03:37That's fine.
03:40That's fine.
03:40It's fair.
03:41It's reasonable.
03:41It's a reasonable expectation.
03:45Go the Texans.
03:48The Texans here.
03:49I always disrespect the Houston Texans.
03:51I'm going to have that as a W for the old.
03:53I will burgundy gold.
03:54I will always disrespect them.
03:55I don't think you go 16-0 or 17-0.
03:57I will always disrespect them.
03:59I'll give them a win as well.
04:00Win.
04:00Yeah, I'll go win.
04:02Clean sweep.
04:03Although Houston's defense.
04:04CJ Stroud got a reluctant fifth year.
04:05You know their defense is going to be legit.
04:08All right, how about the Colts?
04:11I think it's a winner.
04:12That's a dub.
04:13That's a winner.
04:13That's got to be.
04:14You've got to be the Colts at home.
04:15I'm paying for that.
04:16You should be a winner.
04:17Daniel Jones usually plays well against the commanders if he's back healthy.
04:21Is he going to be ready?
04:22No, I'll give him a win.
04:23I'm just saying.
04:24I mean, didn't he shred his Achilles or am I getting the injury mixed up?
04:28I think he's coming off a torn Achilles.
04:29Achilles.
04:30Yes.
04:30He's not going to be the same.
04:32I just saw Jason Tatum come back in like eight months.
04:34You know what that is?
04:35That is a commander W on the side of the helmet.
04:38All right.
04:39Bengals.
04:40At the same time, Damian Lillard, Tyrese Halliburton haven't come back from their torn Achilles.
04:46True.
04:46Yeah.
04:47That's a serious injury.
04:48Bengals.
04:50That's going to be a shootout, man.
04:53Jayden versus Joe Burrow.
04:55What do I have?
04:56That Bengals defense is, we know the commander's defense is bad.
04:59That Bengals defense is hideous, too.
05:02I'm going to say winner.
05:03I'm going to say winner.
05:04Burrow will probably be hurt.
05:07I'm going to have one NFL expert jockeying the Bengals draft defensively.
05:12I've heard a lot of people.
05:13Yeah, that's fine.
05:13They have a lot of work to do.
05:15A lot of people have been jockeying our draft.
05:16Yeah.
05:17A lot of people couldn't figure out the Bengals, too, for overpaying for Dexter Lawrence.
05:20I'm just kind of looking to see what they did in free agency defensively.
05:24They went out and got Jonathan Allen.
05:26They went out and got Dexter Lawrence.
05:28So they improved the defensive front.
05:33They signed Brian Cook as free safety from Kansas City.
05:37Who'd they draft again?
05:40Which team are we talking about?
05:41The Bengals?
05:41Yeah.
05:42Well, they traded away the number 10 pick for Dexter Lawrence.
05:46Oh, okay.
05:46That's right.
05:47All right.
05:47I'm trying to remember.
05:47I can't remember who they picked in the second round.
05:49Oh, no.
05:50That was the Browns.
05:50Oh, they took Cassius Howell in the second round.
05:53Took Takario Davis in the third round.
05:55All right.
05:55I'm going to go win.
05:57Win for Washington.
05:58Yeah.
05:58All right.
05:59Falcons, I'm just going win.
06:01Well, you're facing either Tua or a banged up Michael Penn.
06:05I'm going to win.
06:05You've got to take advantage of that situation.
06:07I'm always betting against the Falcons.
06:07I don't care.
06:08I got them with a lot of home wins.
06:10Win.
06:11I got them with a good amount of home wins.
06:14I got them win.
06:15Win, win, win, win, win.
06:16I'm five and four at home.
06:18I'm with seven dubs at home.
06:20What do I have them with?
06:21I'm going to go loss.
06:22I'm going to go.
06:22You think I'm going to keep track of your picks?
06:23Oh, I thought you were.
06:25I'm going to keep track of your picks.
06:25You're going to get a pen.
06:26I don't even know what to say.
06:27I'm writing down my picks, Rick.
06:29My God.
06:29Can I see your pen?
06:31God damn it, Cakes.
06:33I thought you were keeping track of my picks.
06:36All right.
06:37I got them as a loss there.
06:39All right.
06:40Eagles.
06:40So what's your home record in nine games?
06:44In nine games?
06:46One, two, three.
06:49I mean, unless they completely lay an egg on the road, I have them play off bound.
06:56I mean, seven home wins.
06:57That's all the makings of a playoff team.
07:00Yep.
07:00Sorry.
07:01I'm sorry.
07:02I got them five and four at home.
07:03All right.
07:04So we both have them at five and four.
07:05Cakes, give them two more wins.
07:07What did I say about the Rams?
07:08You said loss.
07:09Okay.
07:11You thought big loser.
07:13Win, win, win.
07:15I have them six and three.
07:17All right.
07:17Shocker.
07:18I'm over my skis.
07:20All right.
07:21Now we go on the road.
07:23Didn't you have them with 13 wins last season?
07:27Not sure.
07:28It might have been 12 or 13.
07:29It might have been really high.
07:30I didn't know Jayden was going to play in seven games.
07:32I understand.
07:33How am I going to know that?
07:34I'm not saying it was completely outrageous, but.
07:38All right.
07:39Let's go.
07:39Dallas on the road.
07:40I'm going to say winner.
07:43Yeah, I'll go loser.
07:44I'm going to go loser.
07:45Okay.
07:46I've got them with an L.
07:47Who knows what the situation is going to be?
07:49Mm-hmm.
07:51All right.
07:51Giants.
07:52I'm going to say winner.
07:53I'm going to say loser at the Giants.
07:55All right.
07:56I'm going to say an L at the Giants.
07:57They always seem to struggle in the Meadowlands.
08:00And now Met life.
08:01I mean, I'm going to give them a win.
08:02You know, the Giants, I understand Harbaugh takes over, but they had a bunch of injuries
08:06last year.
08:07Yeah.
08:08I could see them having, you know, some injury issues.
08:11Jackson Dart has, as much as we question Jayden Daniels health, Jackson Dart has the
08:16same question.
08:17Absolutely.
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:18Guys, it couldn't be more reckless.
08:20Scadaboo coming off an injury.
08:21Neighbors coming off an injury.
08:22Yeah.
08:23I'll give the, I'll say the commanders are going to sweep them.
08:26All right.
08:27Eagles.
08:27I'll just defer to the Eagles.
08:29Loss.
08:29I'll say loss.
08:30Two losses.
08:31I'm going to say win at Philly.
08:33Ooh.
08:33Okay.
08:34Just because I'm splitting in the division.
08:35Spicy.
08:36All right.
08:36Now we're great.
08:37Vikings.
08:41I've got them beating the Vikings.
08:44Yeah.
08:45I think they will beat either Kyler or J.J. McCarthy.
08:49I'm not a believer in Kyler.
08:50I'm not a believer in him.
08:51I'm going to say, man, I'm going to say, I'm going to say they stubbed their toe somehow
08:56in, in Minnesota.
08:57I've got an L.
08:58All right.
08:58Nothing but L's on the road so far.
09:00Oh, you're trying to make up for the year.
09:03I mean, am I going to come up with 14 wins?
09:05I want you to just take it, each one individually.
09:09All right.
09:10Niners.
09:11Ooh.
09:13I think that's another L.
09:14I'll say L.
09:15I mean, how are they going to stop Christian McCaffrey?
09:17They're a better franchise.
09:18I'll just say L.
09:19They're not going to stop.
09:20It's O.A. and all the new guys they brought in.
09:23I don't know.
09:23Sonny Stiles all over the field.
09:25Mike Evans probably had 10 catches.
09:28So, yeah, I got them as a loss there.
09:31All right.
09:32JP, you got them as a loss, too?
09:33Yes.
09:34All right.
09:34Jacksonville.
09:35It's just impossible for me to pick Jacksonville.
09:37I don't care what anybody says.
09:38They're going to be 14-3, whatever.
09:40Winner.
09:40I have them beating the Jags on the road.
09:43I got them losing to the Jags.
09:45Yeah, I think they lose.
09:46By the way, I am going to change.
09:48I'm going to say they're going to lose at Dallas.
09:51Changing that.
09:51Oh, okay.
09:52Changing that.
09:53All right.
09:53Jacksonville winner.
09:54All right.
09:56Cardinals.
09:56I'll always pick against the Cardinals.
09:57It's not a scenario on the planet.
09:59You can do the Cardinals bit.
10:01Winner.
10:02Cardinals.
10:02They're going to be one of the worst teams in football.
10:04They better beat the Cardinals.
10:05That's a must-weep.
10:05If they lose to the Cardinals, it's going to be a down here.
10:09If that's the case.
10:10Clean sweep of the Cardinals.
10:11And I think, I'm guessing, clean sweep of the Titans.
10:14They're not going to lose to the Cardinals.
10:15I have them beating Arizona and Tennessee.
10:18Yeah.
10:21All right.
10:21So, I've got them 4-5.
10:24I've got them 5-4 at home, 4-5 on the road.
10:26I've still had 10-7.
10:27You mean 4-4.
10:28I'm sorry, 4-4.
10:29Yeah, that's right.
10:29I have the exact same as Jason.
10:31So, 9-8.
10:3210-7.
10:33Squeaking it into the playoffs.
10:35I'm 9-8.
10:36I'm Bickle.
10:36You have them 9-8 too, right?
10:37No, I don't.
10:38Oh, you don't?
10:38I have increased my win score.
10:40Oh, 10.
10:41You've got 10.
10:424-5-6.
10:43So, we...
10:447-8-9.
10:45We all have them with a winning record.
10:47I have them with 11.
10:49Oh, 11.
10:50That is aggressive, but I like it.
10:51I hope you're right.
10:52Be a fun season.
10:5311-6, baby.
10:55Don't call it a comeback.
10:56All right.
10:56That is...
10:57We'll ask Pete Prisco at his prediction.
10:58That is maybe the first.
11:00He's probably got them at like 5 wins.
11:01He's got them 26.
11:03Yeah, he's not very high in that.
11:04We'll be joined by Pete Prisco coming up at 825 here on The Fan.
