00:09ah yes nfc north preview here on shine time and honestly i can't get enough of this division and
00:17you know i gotta tell you i don't understand how vegas is disrespecting the chicago bears
00:24did they miss the fact that the chicago bears won the division last year they missed the fact
00:29that they beat the green bay packers in the wild card round of the playoffs did they miss the fact
00:34that
00:35they almost beat the rams and then they got better in the offseason the bears at plus 305 to me
00:42is just
00:43disrespectful now that also means that's my favorite bets in the division bears plus 305 to win
00:51the nfc north yes please thank you are you kidding me bears over nine and a half wins yes
00:59please thank you bears to make the playoffs minus 108 yes please thank you the chicago bears being
01:09disrespected like this makes no sense you know sometimes you do have teams in the nfl that
01:14are flukish and you kind of know at the end of the day everything that could go right went right
01:20we've talked about that for the new england patriots this is caleb williams third year it's
01:25his second year with ben johnson he's only getting better caleb knows that he has to be more even and
01:31more dominant so he doesn't have to have all those games he pulls a rabbit out of the hat late
01:35he had
01:36six wins last year when they were trailing in the final two minutes of the game and caleb williams is
01:43going to even out his play be more dominant and i think caleb williams is going to be an absolute
01:49superstar not good not great mvp caliber that's what we're looking for out of caleb williams that's
01:56what he's going to deliver i mean last year it was like a renaissance the first year was a waste
02:02his
02:02rookie season when matt eberflus was the head coach ben johnson's everything and i still think
02:08caleb williams is learning from ben johnson and ben johnson as a head coach as a leader as a play
02:14caller he's superb he's dynamite he's one of one i just love watching that marriage and that
02:21relationship with johnson and caleb williams continue to blossom and i'm a big fan of luther
02:27burton i think he's going to have a monster season at the receiver position i think that roman dunze
02:32still has a lot of ability now it's a big year for him and doing say because you know he
02:37was in that
02:38draft class in the first round with caleb williams it's been good has not been great so i don't
02:44think that the bears necessarily have elite talent on offense i think it's good but i think ben johnson
02:51and caleb williams will ultimately at the end of the day have the ability to make them better so
02:57i love the chicago bears over for wins i love them to make the playoffs i love them to win
03:03the division
03:04i'll tell you the detroit lions to me i have no idea why they are the favorite it makes absolutely
03:10no
03:10sense now they do have relatively speaking a pretty soft schedule in the middle i would not touch
03:20anything on this board seriously i mean i i keep going back to 10 wins for detroit so i wouldn't
03:30touch
03:31anything i'm not banging the under i'm not banging the over i think if anything and it's not listed
03:37here there's plus money on missing the playoffs for the lions see here's the problem as we were
03:44talking about the bears dan campbell threw the challenge flag three different times he's terrible
03:48in game he's terrible in terms of game management clock management untrustworthy went to go for it on
03:55fourth down went to punt went to put out the field goal unit i i understand fire and brimstone and
04:01effort and energy and you know we're gonna bite kneecaps and they needed that in detroit i just
04:06don't think he's a good x's and o's coach now i do acknowledge the talent and jared golf is
04:11you know a top quarterback i have him number 11 number 10 on my list for 2026 really rock solid
04:18wins a
04:19lot of games in the regular season you know very good to great not a championship quarterback
04:23amin ross st brown is is a stud he's he's terrific he's tough he's clutch and jameer gibbs just got
04:30paid and you can make the case because david montgomery is now in houston gibbs is going to have the
04:36best
04:36year he's ever had defense is good i wouldn't say it's great we love adan hutchinson he's terrific
04:42he's fantastic but i don't think this adds up to a championship team now last year at this times
04:50lions fans went nuts on me destroying me last year at this time when i said they wouldn't make the
04:55playoffs it's okay i was right you were wrong and i'm gonna be right this year i i think the
05:01lions are
05:02gonna miss the playoffs i don't believe in them and i don't really understand why vegas loves them so
05:07much now the team that i think that could make a dent and an impact the minnesota vikings i think
05:13the
05:14minnesota vikings are a true sleeper team i love the vikings over for wins i think the
05:19vikings are going to win double digit games i think the vikings will make the playoffs i'm going
05:25to put one caveat and if an asterisk on that comment if kyler murray's the quarterback if it's
05:32j.j mccarthy we never had this conversation and i love kevin o'connell i think he's a gem he's
05:37amazing i voted for him coach of the year in the past i need kyler murray under center for kevin
05:43o'connell's team because i've seen the j.j mccarthy movie i know how it ends it ends in failure
05:49and
05:49i hate saying that because i love j.j mccarthy at michigan i thought he was going to be great
05:54he got hurt that he didn't play it down didn't even practice a snap his entire rookie season set
06:00him back he can't play kyler murray and i was never one of those when he was in arizona where
06:04i was like
06:04oh kyler murray is going to be sensational phenomenal i would have drafted nick bosa as an example
06:09but kyler murray has talent he's been a big time quarterback in the nfl and now one year contract
06:13move a contract let him get all the reps in camp and let him throw to justin jefferson i still
06:18think
06:19justin jefferson is the best wide receiver in the national football league and i think that the
06:25quarterback who can ultimately have justin jefferson unleash and untapped that potential
06:33couldn't do it last year because you know no one throwing the ball and they botched the quarterback
06:36position that's where they have to fire the general manager it's clearly kyler murray i love
06:41the pickups that they made in the offseason i love the depth and the talent at the receiver position
06:47juan jennings was a heck of a pickup i love jordan addison as number two the line is solid they
06:52run
06:52the ball with jones brian flores his defense is dynamite i kind of really want to pick the minnesota
06:59vikings to make the playoffs if when they announce kyler murray is the quarterback i probably will if i feel
07:05like there's enough time but i love the over on wins for the minnesota vikings the packers boy you have
07:15some really delusional fans of the green bay packers i mean my goodness the green bay packers are going
07:22to miss the playoffs i i think vegas is actually telling you this when you look at the over under
07:30at
07:30nine and a half oftentimes a green bay is a super popular team they'll inflate the over under for
07:37for green bay i love the under i i think the and i think matt lafleur is a terrific head
07:43coach
07:43i think he's fabulous i don't think his roster is very good plus you're not going to have micah parsons
07:49for the beginning of the season he's coming back from injury he's clearly the best player i don't think
07:53the receiver room has a lot of depth jordan love i mean he throws too many pop-ups and too
07:59many 50 50
07:59balls and too many interceptions when it matters the most and we've seen that in big spots from jordan
08:05love we did our quarterback ranking and i ranked him 17th in the nfl i think that's where he is
08:12he's an average mid-level quarterback in the national football league and frankly
08:1817 might have been too high when you look at jordan love so i don't feel the packers at all
08:24i don't
08:24think their defense is necessarily great especially without obviously micah parsons jeff halfley their
08:31great defensive coordinator he now is the head coach of the miami dolphins it just feels like
08:37something's amiss here when it comes to the green bay packers i honestly would bet the under and i think
08:44the green bay packers finishing last place in the nfc north
